Medical Plan Options
Huber offers you a choice of three medical plans with a range of coverage levels and costs, so you have the flexibility to select the option that’s best for you. Two of the three plans are High Deductible plans with an HSA. Our third plan is our Core Plan, with the option of electing an FSA.
Huber’s medical plans include:
Comprehensive, affordable coverage for a wide range of health care services.
Flexibility to see any provider you want, although you’ll save money when you use Aetna’s nationwide network of health care providers.
Free in-network preventive care, with services such as annual physicals, immunizations, well-woman and well-child exams, flu shots, and routine cancer screenings covered at 100%.
Prescription drug coverage included with each medical plan.
Annual deductible. You pay for initial medical and prescription drug costs until you meet your annual deductible.
Coinsurance. After meeting the deductible, you pay a small percentage of eligible costs through coinsurance, then the plan pays the rest.
Annual out-of-pocket maximums that limit the amount you’ll pay each year.
Choice of four coverage levels: employee only, employee + spouse, employee + child(ren), or family (includes employee, spouse, and children). -
Huber offers two dental plans that are designed with emphasis on preventive care, with cleaning and X-rays paid at 100% twice a year.

Orthodontia is covered at 50% with a lifetime max of $2,000 for one plan and not covered for the other plan. Other services are covered for both plans at various rates, basic restorative care (fillings, root canals, etc.) at 80%, and major restorative care (crown/bridges, dentures) at 50% (applies to in-network providers).

Two of three medical plans offered by Huber are accompanied by an HSA.
How does an HSA work?
You can make tax-free employee contributions up to specific IRS limits.
Tax-free company contributions.
Huber will make the following contribution to your account if coverage is effective between January 1 and June 30:
$500 for employee-only coverage
$1,000 if you cover dependents
If your coverage becomes effective July 1 through November 30, the amount Huber will contribute is:
$250 for employee-only coverage
$500 if you cover dependents
• Keep your money. Unlike an FSA, the money in your HSA is always yours to keep and can be rolled over from year to year. You can take your unused balance with you when you retire or leave Huber.
• Use it like a bank account. Pay for eligible medical, prescription, dental, and vision expenses for yourself and your family by swiping your HSA debit card or reimburse yourself for payments you’ve made (up to the available balance in your account). Keep in mind that you may only access money that is actually in your HSA when making a purchase or withdrawal. There’s no need to turn in receipts (but keep them for your records).
• Invest more. Once you have a minimum balance (typically $1,000) in your HSA, you can open an investment account. There are a variety of mutual funds to choose from. There are also no transfer or trading fees and no minimum investment amount for a trade request.
• Never pay taxes. Contributions are made on a before-tax basis, and your withdrawals will never be taxed when used for eligible expenses. Any interest or earnings on your HSA balance build tax-free, too.* -
