NDCP medical and dental plans
Dear Franchise Owner:
The attached Participant Enrollment Kit for your employees contains the plan designs
for all NDCP medical and dental plans. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act now requires employers to provide the full Summary of Benefits and
Coverage (SBC) for all available medical plans to each enrolled employee no later
than December 31, 2014. The SBCs can be found at www.nationaldcp.com on the
Healthcare page.
Prior to distributing the enrollment kit to eligible employees, please remove and discard
plan designs for the plans you are not offering to your employees. You must also provide
your employee with the cost (payroll deduction amount) for each plan option available
to him/her, along with information on Health Savings Accounts, if you elect to make this
an option for your employees.
Each eligible employee who elects to enroll will complete the Employee Information
section, including signature, of the CBA Blue Enrollment / Change Form. As the
employer, you will verify the accuracy of the employee/dependent information and
complete the bottom of the form labeled “Employer (or Plan Sponsor) Statement” to
authorize the enrollment/change. Eligible Employees who decline coverage must
complete a waiver, indicating they do not wish to elect coverage. Please make sure you
maintain copies of all enrollment documents in a secure location as these are subject
to audit.
After your initial enrollment into our plan, you will have the option to process enrollments,
changes, or terminations on the CBA Blue website. Verification of the completion of your
online access and instructions will be sent to you within a few weeks of your effective
date on the plans. You also have the option to fax the completed Enrollment/Change
From directly to CBA Blue at 802-862-7661. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact the Healthcare Hotline at 1.888.365.4327, Option 4.

Who’s Eligible for an HSA?
Anyone meeting the following
requirements is eligible for an HSA.
 Be enrolled in a qualified health plan.
 Have no other health coverage
except what’s permitted by the IRS
(see IRS Publication 969).
 Not be enrolled in Medicare.
 Not be claimed as a dependent on
someone else’s tax return.
Is an HSA Right for You?
Seventy percent of people have less than $1,000 of medical expense a year (including what both the insured and the health plan pay4).
Why not invest the money you’d pay for premiums in an interest-bearing, tax-advantaged HSA and lower-premium health plan?
Even if you have higher medical expenses, an HSA often costs less than a traditional plan when you combine what you save on
premiums and your out-of-pocket maximum. See the health plan comparison tool in the resource center at www.healthequity.com or
ask your employer for a cost comparison and see the savings for yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions

or at [email protected].
Q. How much can contributing
to an HSA save me on taxes?
A. If you’re in the 25% tax bracket and
contribute $1,500, you save $375 in
taxes*! In addition your $1,500 grows
tax-free in your HSA. And when you
incur costs, you have money you can
withdraw with no tax penalty for
qualified medical expenses.

Q. What’s a qualified
medical expense?
A. Qualified medical expenses are
those that generally qualify for the
income tax deduction outlined in IRS
Publication 502. See www.irs.gov/pub/
irs-pdf/p502.pdf for a complete list
or visit the resource center on www.
healthequity.com.
Q. Who can put money in my HSA?
A. Anyone can contribute to your HSA.
Only you and your employer receive
tax deductions on monies contributed.
And your contribution is tax-free.
Q. How much money can I
CoNtRIBUtE to MY HSA?
A. In 2014, the maximum contribution
set by the IRS for an individual is
$3,300 and $6,550 for family
coverage (up from $3,250 and $6,450
in 2013). People 55 and older can
make an additional $1,000 “catch-up”
contribution. Limits are the same
regardless of the source.
Q. Can I take the money out of my
HSA any time I want?
A. Yes. You can take money out anytime
tax-free and without penalty as long
as it’s to pay for qualified medical
expenses. If you take money out for
other purposes, you’ll pay income
taxes plus a 20% penalty.
Q. Can I use the money in my
HSA to pay for my children’s
medical expenses?
A. Yes. Your HSA can be used to pay the
qualified medical expenses of any
family member who qualifies as a
dependent on your tax return. If the
dependent isn’t on your health plan,
his/her expenses won’t apply to
your deductible.
Q. Can I access my HSA online?
A. Yes. Simply visit your member portal
