New Hire Presentation

Medical Benefits

Welcome

Our employees are our most valuable asset.

Len-Tex Corp cares about the health, wellbeing and financial security of our associates and is proud to offer a comprehensive benefits program to all eligible employees. Your benefits are an important part of your total compensation; therefore, we invite you to familiarize yourself with the details of these plans.

Who is Eligible and When?

All regular full-time employees working 30+ hours a week are eligible to enroll in health insurance. You may enroll when initially eligible as a new hire, or each year during open enrollment. You will be notified of the open enrollment dates annually. The benefits you choose during open enrollment will become effective on June 1, 2025.

How Do I Enroll?

To enroll or make changes to your benefits, log into isolved & complete the Benefits Enrollment electronically. Instructions on how to do so will be provided to you from Human Resourses.

Qualified Life Events

Unless you experience a life-changing qualifying event, you cannot make changes to your benefits until the next open enrollment period. Qualifying events include things like:

  • Marriage, divorce or legal separation
  • Birth or adoption of a child
  • Change in child’s dependent status
  • Death of a spouse, child or other qualified dependent
  • Change in residence that impacts the service area
  • Change in employment status or a change in coverage under another employer-sponsored plan
Health Plan Overview

Len-Tex offers three medical plans through Harvard Pilgrim Health Care.  Len-Tex’s employer paid Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) will apply to employees who enroll in the POS or Copay plan, but NOT the Best Buy HMO HSA Plan.

When you have a choice of medical plans, there are three things you should consider:

  • The provider NETWORK and requirement for REFERRALS between providers
  • The cost of USING the insurance when you need medical services or prescription drug.
  • The cost of OWNING the insurance, meaning your per paycheck deduction

The POS & Copay plans provide access to providers all over the country, allow you to see Out-Of-Network (OON) providers (you’ll pay more for those services though) and do not require you to get referrals.

The HMO/HSA plan includes In-Network (IN) providers based in New England only and requires referrals.

Common health insurance terms:

  • Deductible: This this the amount Harvard Pilgrim requires be paid for services they code as “deductible eligible” before Harvard Pilgrim pays.
    • Len-Tex’s HRA (applied to POS and Copay plans only) pays the first $1500 in deductible expenses if you have single coverage, or the first $2000 if you have dependents on your plan
  • Coinsurance: Once you have reached the Harvard Pilgrim deductible amount, if you need additional services that are coded as “deductible”, when there is coinsurance, you’ll need to pay that percent, until you reach the Out-of-Pocket (OOP) Maximum amount. Coinsurance is NOT eligible for HRA funds.
  • Copay: These are flat dollar amounts applied to some office visit, medical services and prescription drugs. Copays are NOT eligible for HRA funds.
  • Out-of-Pocket (OOP) Max: This is the “worse-case-scenario”, the most you will have to pay when you receive services or Rx that Harvard Pilgrim determines to be “covered medical expenses”. Len-Tex’s HRA can reduce the OOP Max amount if you are enrolled in the POS or Copay plan and incur deductible-eligible expenses.

All three plans cover preventive services in full, such as annual checkups, immunizations, and other services based on your age and gender, according to Preventive Services Task Force. (Not based on your personal or family history, and/or your physician’s recommendation.)

My HRA

Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)

What is a Health Reimbursement Account? Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs) are dollars your employer provides to help pay a portion of your deductible expenses. If you do not use these dollars they remain with the employer. Voya manages our HRA funds.

Who is eligible?

If you are enrolled in Len-Tex’s POS or Copay plan, you are automatically enrolled in the HRA. If you are enrolled in the HMO/HSA plan, you will not be eligible for the HRA.

How it Works

Reimbursement: Len-Tex’s HRA pays the first $1,500 of deductible expenses if you have single coverage. If you have dependents on your plan, the HRA will pay the first $2,000 in deductible expenses. Voya pays your provider directly. A debit card for prescription purchases is available (except for copay plan members).

Your Responsibility: You pay any remaining deductible amounts, and coinsurance and copays as applicable.

Not a Savings Account: HRA funds reset annually and don’t roll over. Unused funds return to the employer

My HSA

Health Savings Account (HSA)

Len-Tex’s HMO/HSA plan is “HSA-eligible” which means employees who are enrolled in it and do NOT have medical coverage elsewhere – including through Medicare, the Veterans Administration (VA), their spouse’s or parent’s plan, or through a full purpose FSA – are able to establish and make contributions to a personal Health Savings Account, or HSA. For convenience, Len-Tex has established a relationship with the Savings Bank of Walpole to establish and maintain HSA accounts.

An HSA is a triple-tax-advantaged trust/custodial account that eligible individuals can use to pay for qualified medical, dental and vision expenses for themselves or their tax dependents.

Triple-tax-advantaged: Contributions are pretax, interest accumulates tax-free, distributions for qualified expenses are tax-free.

Contributions may be made through payroll deduction or directly to the Savings Bank of Walpole from your personal checking or savings account.

Contribution limits in 2025: $4,300 for single coverage and $8,550 for dual/family coverage. If age 55+, additional $1,000.

You may pay for eligible expenses with the debit card issued by the Savings Bank of Walpole or using another form of payment and requesting reimbursement from your HSA.

Funds in your HSA account will accumulate and grow until you remove them. If your employment ends at Len-Tex, your account may remain with the Savings Bank of Walpole. If you enroll in another HSA-eligible health insurance plan and remain eligible to make contributions, you may resume contributions. If you are not enrolled in an HSA-eligible health insurance plan, you may use the funds to pay for qualifying medical expenses but cannot make future contributions.

While your HSA account belongs to you, and you may use the funds for any purpose, withdrawals/distributions for purposes other than qualifying medical expenses will be taxed as ordinary income and subject to a 20% penalty tax before age 65. After age 65, 20% penalty not assessed, but distributions for expenses other than qualified medical will be taxed

You may contribute to a LPFSA if you are enrolled in HMO-HSA plan. The annual LPFSA contribution limits are as follows:

  • Maximum contribution: $3,300
  • Rollover amount: $660
  • Available with the HMO/HSA Plan if you elect establish and contribute to an HSA
  • This account will cover your out-of-pocket expenses for dental and vision ONLY

 

Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCA)

A dependent care FSA allows employees to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for qualified dependent care expenses. Funds can be used to pay for day care, preschool, elderly care or other dependent care.

  • Maximum contribution: $5,000 (if single or married & filing jointly) or $2,500 (if married & filing separately)
  • No rollover amount

Plan Overview

In addition to protecting your smile, dental insurance helps pay for dental care and usually includes regular checkups, cleanings and X-rays. Several studies suggest that oral diseases, such as periodontitis (gum disease), can affect other areas of your body—including your heart. Receiving regular dental care can protect you and your family from the high cost of dental disease and surgery.
