Such health care costs may include, but are not limited to, annual deductibles, co-pays, co- insurance and medical procedures not covered by the medical, dental, and vision plans like acupuncture, Lasik eye surgery, etc. The Health Care Spending Account Third Party Administrator’s fee will be paid for by the State for those employees who upon enrollment commit to place one thousand ($1,000) or more in the health care spending account. Employees who commit to place less than one thousand ($1,000) in the fund will be charged an administration fee. The State will use payroll tax savings derived from the plan to reduce the amount of the administration fee charged to plan participants. The annual cap for the employee contribution to the fund shall be two thousand ($2,000) for tax year 2007. This amount will be increased to three thousand ($3000) for tax year 2008. Upon recommendation of the JHCC the Director of DAS may increase these caps, implement the IRS permitted grace period, and/or implement a debit card to be used by employees to purchase IRS approved medical expenses with their account dollars.
