Your Health

Make the most of your healthcare benefits by understanding your coverage options, taking advantage of available resources and making informed benefit choices during Open Enrollment and throughout the year.

Spending Accounts

Your benefits come with opportunities to save money to cover health or day care expenses tax-free.

Our Consumer Choice medical plans come with an HSA that is administered by Optum Bank®. Use it to cover out-of-pocket healthcare expenses, including your deductible. Your unused balance rolls over each year and accumulates tax-free.

Plexus will contribute $650 for individual coverage or $1,000 for family coverage. Company contributions are made on a per-paycheck basis and will be pro-rated based on your coverage effective date. You are also able to contribute up to limits set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). You must elect the HSA plan to receive Plexus contributions, even if you don’t plan to contribute to the HSA yourself. Your contribution amount can be changed at any time during the year.

To be eligible for a Health Savings Account, you must be:

  • Covered under one of the Consumer Choice medical plans.
  • Not covered under any other health plan.
  • Neither you nor your spouse contributing to a medical Flexible Spending Account.
  • Not enrolled in or eligible for Medicare, TRICARE® or VA benefits.
  • Not claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return.

If you enroll in the CMP medical plan or waive medical coverage, you can save pre-tax dollars in a health care FSA through payroll deductions to help cover medical, dental and vision expenses not covered by your health plan. Unlike an HSA, any money left in your FSA at the end of the year will not carry over into the next year. You must enroll in an FSA during Open Enrollment or as a new hire or you lose the opportunity to participate for the rest of the plan year (unless you have a qualifying life event that allows you to change your coverage). Under the health care FSA, your entire annual election amount is pre-funded, meaning it’s available at the beginning of each year to reimburse your eligible expenses for that year.

  • You must incur your expenses between January and December of the plan year. There is no grace period or carryover.
  • You will receive an FSA debit card to conveniently pay for copays, pharmacy and other eligible expenses where accepted.
  • If enrolled in medical, you can sign up at myuhc.com to automatically submit your medical out-of-pocket claims directly to your health care FSA for reimbursement. Other expenses may be submitted to UnitedHealthcare for reimbursement.

Save money tax-free to help pay for dependent care expenses (typically day care or elder care expenses) that enable you to work and/or attend school full-time. This account will not pay for health care expenses for your dependents and will not carry over to the next plan year. You may set aside up to $5,000 for a married couple ($2,500 if you are single or married and file separately) of pre-tax earnings to cover the cost of day care for a dependent child or a dependent of any age that cannot be left alone while you (and your spouse) are at work. Under the dependent care FSA, you will be reimbursed up to the amount in your account at the time of the claim request.

To be eligible under the dependent care FSA, dependent care must be for:

  • Your dependent who has not reached age 13.
  • Your dependent of any age who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care and who lives with you.
  • Your spouse who is physically or mentally incapable of self-care and lives with you.
  • The care of a dependent must enable you and your spouse, if you are married, to be employed, seek employment or attend school full time.
