BENEFITS ANNOUNCEMENT

Greetings to all:

I’m pleased to announce that this year’s benefit selection during open enrollment will feature health plans, including an innovative new “HSA” plan, from Premera Blue Cross.

People across the nation are embracing HSA plans and for a very good reason. When used in conjunction with a Health Savings Account, a HSA plan offers more individual control in how health-care dollars are spent. The combination is designed to empower and promote changes that can result in healthier lifestyles and a more productive work and family life—which is good for all of us and for our company as a whole.

A HSA plan combined with a Health Savings Account also offers a triple tax advantage:  Employee contributions to the account may be payroll-deducted on a pre-tax basis.  The account grows tax-free.  When the accumulated funds are withdrawn for qualifying health-care expenses, such as deductibles and coinsurance, they’re not taxed as income or capital gains.

We’re working with Premera Blue Cross to introduce educational communications about the available health plan options and Health Savings

015659 (01-2006) Accounts, so that each of us can make an informed choice when it comes to our benefit selection.

As direct stakeholders in the health of our company, you can help support this effort by encouraging your staff to carefully study the information that will be available to them through the following resources so they can make the best decision for their situation:
