This means that if you enroll in the medical plan you are required to also enroll in the prescription drug insurance plan that covers the same individual(s) under both plans. If a member opts to waive coverage, both medical and prescription coverage must be waived. For more information, please review the “Get Prescription Drug Information” dropdown on the State Health Benefits Program Website.

Tax$ave Flexible Spending Accounts
Horizon is the flexible spending accounts administrator. A new enrollment is required every year in order to participate in a flexible spending account. This means that current participants must enroll again.
Tax$ave offers eligible employees the opportunity to increase their available income by reducing their federal tax liability. Employees who elect to participate in a flexible spending account (FSA) decide how much to contribute for the calendar year at enrollment. Ideally, employees who elect to enroll in a flexible spending account base their contribution amount on predictable expenses.
