PLAN OPTIONS AND MONTHLY RATES

Spartacus Consulting pays $270.49 toward the employee premium for whichever plan you select. The cost for dependent coverage under any plan option is the employee’s responsibility.

Benefits shown below are individual in-network limits. Family deductibles and out-of-pocket limits are two to three times the individual amounts. For more details on up-front copayments and other benefits, see the Summaries of Benefits and Coverage.

Note that all deductibles and out-of-pocket limits run on a calendar-year basis, not plan year. They start over every January.

Employees electing Options 1, 2, or 3 can set up a Health Savings Account (HSA) and deduct their contributions when filing their income tax return.

If you do not have an HSA and want to establish one, you can click here for HSA Bank, or you can use any bank you wish. Click here for more information on HSAs and be sure not to contribute more than the maximum allowed per year.

Employees electing Options 4, 5, or 6 CANNOT set up a Health Savings Account or make tax-free deposits as these plans are not HSA-compliant.
