Medical Plan Options

HMO and PPO plans Hello Direct offers you three Company Sponsored medical plans: the Kaiser HMO Plan, the Lifeguard HMO Plan, and the Lifeguard PPO Plan.

The Kaiser HMO Plan uses exclusive doctors and Kaiser facilities located throughout California as well as nationwide. You will receive a high level of benefits and low out-of- pocket cost when you access care from Kaiser physicians and facilities.

The Lifeguard HMO Plan is designed to meet all your health care needs within its provider network. In the HMO Plan you pick a primary care physician who manages all of your health care needs. When you need medical care, your primary care physician must authorize all referrals and services.

The Lifeguard PPO Plan has a nationwide network of doctors and hospitals called PPO providers who have agreed to discount their fees. This plan offers you the flexibility to have services provided from the provider of your choice. Each time you seek medical care: (1) you choose a Network (PPO) doctor, or (2) you choose a Non-Network provider (a doctor who is outside of the PPO). When you use network providers, you receive a higher level of benefits and have lower out of pocket costs. If you choose providers outside of the network, your claims will be paid at the lower, out-of-network level. Due to the greater freedom and flexibility available to you, the PPO plan has the highest out of pocket cost to employees.

Flexible Spending Accounts - Section 125 Plans A flexible spending account is an employer sponsored benefit under IRS section 125. FSAs utilize employee salary reductions for pre-taxed reimbursement of qualified incurred expenses. There are two types of plans:

Health Care Reimbursement Account Plan

The health care reimbursement account plan is a way for employees to pay for health care expenses not reimbursed by other benefits plans. These include:  co-payments and deductibles

 non-reimbursed medical, dental, vision and hearing expenses

Dependent Care Reimbursement Account Plan The dependent care reimbursement account plan is an easy and affordable way for employees to pay for some of their dependent care expenses with pre-tax dollars including:  day care centers  nursery school  private kindergarten  sick care  summer day care  elder care  home care  child care The Flex Plan has set certain minimum and maximum amounts that can be contributed to the Flexible Spending accounts. They are as follows:  Health Care Minimum $120.00 Health Care Maximum $1,200  Dependent Care Minimum $300.00 Dependent Care Maximum $5,000

Use It or Lose It Provision

Employees must submit claims for expenses incurred in the plan year. IRS regulations stipulate that any unused or unclaimed balances remaining in your account are forfeited to your employer.

401(k) Salary Deferral Plan Planning and saving for a financially secure future is something we all need to do. Hello Direct provides several plans to help. Simply put, the Salary Deferral Plan is a very good deal. It enables employees to save for retirement, reduce current taxes, and generate tax- deferred earnings all at the same time. Briefly, here’s how the plan works:

 Employees become eligible to enroll at the first of each month following 30 days of employment.

 Contribution levels can be changed prior to the beginning of each quarter but contributions can be stopped at any time with written notification.

 Each year, employees can contribute from 1% to 20% of their pay on a before-tax basis subject to an annual maximum established by the IRS ($10,500 for 2001).

 Contributions to the 401(k) savings plan lowers an employee’s taxable income which reduces the current tax liability on employee’s earnings.

 PLUS, an employee’s money is free to grow tax-deferred. An employee doesn’t pay any taxes on that money (or earnings) until it is withdrawn from the plan, such as at retirement, when s/he may be in a lower tax bracket.

 An EMPLOYEE determines how his/her money is invested and may choose any one or combination of fourteen professionally managed investment funds.

 Hello Direct matches 50 cents on the dollar up to the first 6% of total compensation each pay period (up to the IRS annual employee contribution limit of $10, 500). After 12 consecutive months of service, the company match is 100% vested.

Fitness Program Hello Direct encourages employees to stay healthy and keep fit. Hello Direct will reimburse up to $15 a month for the cost of a fitness membership. Each quarter employees will need to provide documentation of their continued membership. Employees will receive the reimbursement the first pay period after the end of the quarter.
