* These reflect average medical costs in Florida, network and non-network. Allowed costs vary based on the procedure(s) as billed by the healthcare provider. Allowed costs do not include ancillary costs (for example, a chest X-ray allowed cost includes the X-ray image and not the facility or provider costs which are in addition and vary based on type of provider, type of facility and equipment used).
**For the estimator, preventive care services do not take into account age-related provisions or limitations, except for mammograms..
*** Cost average used for estimator does not reflect the cost of certain expensive medicines, such as those for multiple sclerosis, some cancers, HIV, and other specialty treatments because the cost of those drugs would unrealistically inflate the average cost.

The estimate of your total 2008 medical expenses is based on the costs shown above. The network columns assume you use network providers for all services, while the non-network columns assume you never use network providers - giving you best-case and worst-case scenarios.

Save money with the HSA

The chart below shows your potential federal income tax savings for your network and non-network deductibles, copayments, coinsurance and other medical out-of-pocket expenses, if you enroll in the Health Investor PPO or HMO Plan and use the Health Savings Account (HSA).

Active employees who enroll in the Health Investor PPO or HMO Plan and an HSA: The State will make an annual contribution to your HSA of up to $500 if you select individual coverage or up to $1,000 if you select family coverage (contributions are made monthly and pro-rated for the portion of the year you are enrolled in the State's HSA). If you enroll in a Health Investor plan, you may make pre-tax contributions to:

  • an HSA that, in combination with the state’s contributions, can be up to $2,900 for individual coverage, or $5,800 for family coverage. Unused employee and employer HSA contributions carry forward.
  • a Limited Purpose Medical Reimbursement Account you can use to pay for out-of-pocket dental, vision and over-the-counter medication expenses. Based on Federal law, the Medical Reimbursement Account cannot be used to cover any medical expenses when you are in a Health Investor plan and an HSA. Reimbursement Account balances do not carry over to the next year. Get more information on the Limited Purpose Medical Reimbursement Account.

To calculate potential tax savings on using a Limited Purpose Medical Reimbursement Account for all your eligible healthcare expenses, go to the Limited Purpose Medical Reimbursement Account estimator. This is available to active employees only.

If you are an active employee and think you will be enrolling in the Standard PPO or a Standard HMO, use the Medical Reimbursement Account Estimator to calculate potential tax savings using that account.
