Welcome, Salem Health employees!

Medical plan options

Prime Plan- HDP

The Prime Plan is a plan that has a higher deductible – the amount of medical expenses you pay each year before the plan begins to pay. The Prime Plan gives you more control over your healthcare and costs. It features a pre-tax spending account, called a health savings account (HSA), that helps you pay for eligible expenses. This medical plan offers three tiers of coverage. Choose any in-network tier I, tier II, or tier III physician or hospital for your care. Out-of-network coverage is limited to urgent and emergency care, massage therapy, acupuncture, spinal manipulation, and certain behavioral health services.

• Your per-paycheck contributions are the lowest of the plan options and in some cases are $0
• The deductible must be met before the plan will begin to pay for any services (other than preventive care). For family coverage the deductible is shared, meaning the entire family deductible must be met before the plan will begin to pay for any member of the family. Family coverage is considered any coverage other than employee-only coverage
• Salem Health will contribute to your HSA: $1,600 annually for employee only coverage and $3,200 annually for family coverage (amounts are prorated for partial-year enrollments)
  • HSA contributions are pre-tax, reducing the amount in taxes you pay each pay period
  • Funds you take out of your HSA are not taxed when used for eligible medical expenses
  • If you have money left in your HSA at the end of the year, it will roll over year after year

Each individual situation is different, but if you are in good health, do not have a lot of high-cost prescription drug expenses, and do not expect to incur significant medical expenses in the coming year, you may want to consider the Prime Plan to take advantage of the HSA.

See the Prime HDP Summary of Benefits and Coverage for more details.

Classic Plan - MHP

The Classic Plan offers three tiers of coverage. Choose any in-network tier I, tier II, or tier III physician or hospital for your care. Note that there is very limited coverage for out-of-network care.

• Your per-paycheck contributions are lower than the Choice Plan, but your deductible and out-of-pocket costs are higher
• There is an Additional Cost Tier (additional copay) for specific elective services received from a tier II or tier III provider
• Out-of-network coverage is limited to urgent and emergency care, massage therapy, acupuncture, spinal manipulation, and certain behavioral health services

See the Classic MHP Summary of Benefits and Coverage for more details.

Choice Plan - MHP

The Choice Plan offers the greatest provider choice, allowing you to choose any physician or hospital for your care. You pay the least when you receive care from a tier I network provider, more at a tier II or tier III network provider, and the most at a tier IV out-of-network provider.

• Your per-paycheck contributions are the highest of all three plans, but you have a lower deductible and out-of-pocket maximum
• You have coverage with out-of-network providers
• There is an Additional Cost Tier (additional copay) for specific elective services received from a tier II or tier III provider

See the Choice MHP Summary of Benefits and Coverage for more details.

Additional Cost Tier

The Additional Cost Tier is designed to encourage consideration of less invasive treatment alternatives.  When certain surgical procedures are performed they are subject to a copayment on top of the standard benefit level. Additional Cost Tier procedures include the following:

$100 cost tier

• Upper endoscopy
• Spinal injections
• Viscosupplementation
• Lumbar discography
• Tonsillectomy for a member under age 18 with chronic tonsillitis or sleep apnea
• Sleep studies
• Advanced imaging procedures

$500 cost tier

• Arthroscopy (knee and shoulder)
• Spine surgery
• Uncomplicated hernia repair
• Knee/hip replacement

Some Additional Cost Tier services require prior authorization. A full list of such services can be found on the Moda Health website. Contact a Health Navigator for more information regarding the Additional Cost Tier.

The Additional Cost Tier does not apply to surgical procedures or treatment that is provided by a tier I provider or facility.
