To support your health and wellness, Inova provides affordable, comprehensive benefit coverage that helps you and your family stay well and pay for care if you get sick or injured.

 

Overview

Our benefits program includes two medical plan options with different coverage levels and costs, so you can choose the one that’s best for you. These plans are administered by Innovation Health, a partnership between Inova and Aetna.

Innovation Health HSA HDP (High Deductible Plan) and Outside NOVA HSA HDP

The Innovation Health HSA HDP (High Deductible Plan) and Outside NOVA HSA HDP plans pair low-contributions, high-deductible coverage with a tax-free Health Savings Account (HSA) that helps you save money and plan ahead for future medical expenses. This combination gives you more control over your money and rewards you for making cost-conscious choices.

Note: Basic Hospital Indemnity insurance is provided at no additional cost if you enroll in the Innovation Health HSA HDP (High Deductible Plan) or Outside NOVA HSA HDP.

How the Innovation Health HSA HDP (High Deductible Plan) and Outside NOVA HSA HDP plans work

You pay contributions toward your medical coverage.

icon 

HSA

You can set aside tax-free money from your paycheck from your paycheck to help cover your costs — now, or in the future.

icon 

Deductible

You pay 100% of your medical and prescription costs until you meet the annual deductible.

icon 

Coinsurance

After meeting the deductible, you and the plan share the cost of covered medical care and prescriptions, with the plan paying the majority.

icon 

Out-of-Pocket Maximum

You’re protected by an annual limit on costs — the plan pays 100% of any further covered expenses for the rest of the year.

Use your HSA to save money and plan ahead!

Contributing to your HSA is a great way to budget for deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses while also saving money — your HSA contributions are tax-free!*

Keep in mind:

  • The Innovation Health HSA HDP (High Deductible Plan) and the Outside NOVA HSA HDP cost you less from your paycheck, so you may have extra money available to put in your HSA.
  • You can only spend HSA money that’s actually been deposited into your account. If you don’t have enough money in your HSA when you need it, you can pay another way and reimburse yourself later so you take full advantage of your HSA’s tax savings.
  • You will never forfeit any money left in your HSA — it rolls over year after year. If you know about future expenses or want to save for your health care costs in retirement, set aside a little extra each paycheck so your balance can grow over time.
  • You can change your HSA contribution amount throughout the year as needed to keep up with any changes in your situation.
  • You can pair your HSA with a tax-free Limited Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to save even more.
  • Inova pays the monthly administrative fees for you.

*Contributions are not subject to federal income tax. However, HSA contributions are currently subject to state income tax in CA and NJ. Consult with your tax advisor to understand the potential tax implications of enrolling in an HSA. Money in an HSA can be withdrawn tax-free as long as it is used to pay for qualified health-related expenses. If money is used for ineligible expenses, you will pay ordinary income tax on the amount withdrawn, plus a 20% penalty tax if you withdraw the money before age 65.

 

Innovation Health PPO or Outside NOVA PPO

The Innovation Health PPO or Outside NOVA PPO offer slightly lower out-of-pocket costs in exchange for higher contributions. With this plan, your costs are more predictable, but you’ll likely still have out-of-pocket expenses.

How the Innovation Health PPO and Outside NOVA PPO work

You pay contributions toward your medical coverage.

icon 

Copay

You pay a small fee at the time of service for doctor visits and prescriptions. (Medical and prescription drug copays do not count toward your deductible.)

icon 

Deductible

For care that doesn’t charge a copay, such as physical therapy, you pay 100% of the costs until you meet the annual deductible.

icon 

Coinsurance

After meeting the deductible, you and the plan share the cost of certain services, with the plan paying the majority.

icon 

Out-of-Pocket Maximum

You’re protected by an annual limit on costs — the plan pays 100% of any further covered expenses for the rest of the year.

Save money with an FSA!

A Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) lets you take advantage of tax-free savings when paying for health care. Be sure to plan your FSA contributions carefully: you can only carry over up to $610 of unused money in your FSA to the next year; you will forfeit any remaining amount above $610.

Finding a Primary Care Physician

Inova’s board-certified adult and pediatric Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) are in-network and have the Maximum Savings label in the Directory of health care professionals for Inova team members. They offer:

  • Lower out-of-pocket costs for you — 10% savings in the Innovation Health HSA HDP (High Deductible Plan) option and $25 copay savings in the Innovation Health PPO option.
  • Personalized care for you and your family.
  • Office locations close to home and work.
  • Extended hours and online scheduling.
Don’t have a primary care physician? You should. Here’s why.
  • Better health. Getting the right health screenings each year can reduce your risk for many serious conditions. Preventive care is free, so there’s no excuse to skip it.
  • A healthier wallet. Having a doctor you can call helps you avoid costly trips to the emergency room and decide when you really need to see a specialist.
  • Peace of mind. Advice from someone you trust ... it means a lot when you’re healthy, but it’s even more important when you’re sick. Your personal doctor gets to know you and your health history and can help coordinate any care you need.

Money-Saving Tips

When you carefully consider the financial impact of your health care choices, you can help lower costs for yourself and the entire company. Get the most from your medical benefits by following these tips to be well and buy smart:

  1. Use in-network providers. To find a PCP with maximum savings, log in to Innovation Health/Aetna and click “Find Care.” You’ll find the best providers and facilities under the “Maximum Savings” indicator for each provider listing.
  2. Keep up with preventive care. It’s covered in full by all of our medical plans and can help detect and prevent potentially costly health issues early. You pay nothing for annual physicals, recommended immunizations, routine cancer screenings, and more when you see in-network providers.
  3. Use tax-free money to pay for eligible health expenses. Contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA) and/or a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is easy and saves you money. You can set aside pre-tax dollars from your paycheck to use for your out-of-pocket costs. Keep in mind that with an HSA, you can only spend contributions that have actually been deposited into your account. With an FSA, you can only carry over up to $610 of unused money in your FSA to the next year; you will forfeit amounts above $610.
  4. Take advantage of Inova well. It offers valuable resources to help you improve your health, which could prevent the need for costly care.
  5. Use your medical plan’s website. Log in to the Innovation Health/Aetna website to see how much of your deductible you’ve met, review claims, find in-network providers, use helpful cost-estimating tools, and more.
  6. Choose the right place to get care. Facilities charge different amounts for the same services, so think about your options when you or a family member needs medical attention.
