Cancer Insurance
A cancer diagnosis is impactful physically, emotionally, and financially. Cancer insurance can help alleviate some of the financial burden, allowing you to focus on health and wellbeing.
Premiums are made through convenient payroll deductions, and benefit payments are made directly to you, so that you can use funds for copays, hospital stays, experimental treatment, or personal expenses such as groceries, rent, or household expenses.
Individuals on the plan for 12 months or longer will not be subject to pre-existing condition limitations. However, individuals with pre-existing conditions are limited to a 3/12 condition exclusion. That means that any illness that you have been treated for (or for which treatment was recommended) in the three months prior to coverage by the plan becoming effective will not be covered under the policy for the first 12 months.
The plan is portable - you can continue enrollment after separation from Humble ISD.

Health Savings Account (HSA)
A Health Savings Account (HSA) provides a savings vehicle that allows you to set aside money on a pre-tax basis to pay for higher deductibles associated with a High Deductible Health Plan. Unlike an FSA, the money is not all available up-front, but rather becomes available with each payroll contribution that you make. Your HSA balance rolls over from year-to-year earning interest along the way. Distribution for eligible medical expenses are tax free. HSA benefits are portable - upon retirement or separation from service, you can take it with you. HSA allows a $1,000 "catch-up" contribution for employees 55 and older.
You cannot have an HSA and an FSA at the same time. If you are switching from FSA to HSA during the plan year, you must exhaust your FSA by 8/31 or your HSA will not be open, and you will need to wait until the next plan year.
HSA Plan Year: September 1, 2023 - August 31, 2024
HSA Maximum: $3,850 for self / $7,750 for family
HSA is portable-monies are not forfeited at end of plan year. Monies roll over and accumulate interest.

The hospital indemnity plan is designed to help cover your out-of-pocket expenses due to an inpatient hospital stay and assist with deductibles and expenses that are not covered.
