Plan | Description |
---|---|
Consumer Plan | A plan that puts you in charge of your spending through lower premiums, higher deductibles, and a tax-free Health Savings Account (HSA) (with contributions from Mosaic) that you own for life. |
Traditional Plan | A plan that reduces your unexpected financial responsibility when you need care through copays and no deductible for physician services; however, you pay higher premiums from your paycheck. |

Both of Mosaic’s medical plans offer:
for a wide range of health care services.
with the option to receive care from providers outside the network.
with services such as annual physicals, recommended immunizations, and routine cancer screenings covered at 100%. See a list of covered preventive services.
included with each medical plan. Prescription benefits are provided by Express Scripts.
through annual out-of-pocket maximums that limit the amount you’ll pay each year.

Let’s take a look at an illustrative example!
Consumer Plan Deductible/Single Coverage - $2,800
Consumer Plan Deductible/Family Coverage - $5,600 (*no more than $3,200 per individual within a family)
*Consumer Plan embedded deductible (only applies if you are covering dependents) – No one family member can contribute more than $3,200 toward the deductible. Once the member pays $3,200 toward the deductible, they will start paying copays and/or coinsurance for their in-network services. (If two or more members of the family needed treatment, the $5,600 family deductible would apply.)
Embedded deductible example #1: Susan and John have family coverage for them and their three children. Susan pays $3,200 towards the deductible after giving birth to their youngest child in February. For the remainder of the year, she will pay copays and/or coinsurance for her medical care. Teenage son Tommy breaks his leg while playing football and also needs extensive care. He pays $2,400 towards the deductible, which means the family deductible of $5,600 has now been met. Later in the year, when John needs carpal tunnel surgery, he pays the applicable coinsurance because the family deductible was already met.
Embedded deductible example #2: Daniel and Grace have employee plus spouse coverage. Daniel pays $4,000 towards his care ($3,200 towards the deductible and $800 in coinsurance) after having knee replacement surgery in June. For the remainder of the year, he will not pay coinsurance for his medical care as he has hit his embedded out-of-pocket maximum. Grace has emergency surgery to remove her appendix in September. She pays $2,400 towards the deductible, which means their family deductible of $5,600 has now been met. She will now pay coinsurance for her medical care through the end of the year or when she hits the family out-of-pocket maximum ($8,000).
The Consumer Plan pairs low-premium, high-deductible coverage with a tax-free Health Savings Account (HSA) that helps you save for future medical expenses. As an added bonus, Mosaic will contribute to your HSA — $750 for single coverage or $1,500 if you cover dependents. Any money left in your HSA can be carried forward from year to year and is always yours to keep. With this plan, you can see any provider you wish, but you will pay less when you stay in network.
You pay the plan premium from your paycheck to have coverage.
Use the annual contribution Mosaic makes to your HSA, as well as your own pre-tax HSA contributions, to help you pay for your out-of-pocket costs.
The Traditional Plan offers a lower deductible in exchange for higher premiums. With this plan, your costs are more predictable, since you pay a copay for visits to the doctor’s office, urgent care, and emergency room, as well as for generic prescriptions. You can see any provider you wish, but you will pay less when you stay in network.
You pay the plan premium from your paycheck to have coverage.
When you enroll in a Mosaic medical plan, you will automatically receive prescription drug coverage through Express Scripts. The Express Scripts website offers several tools to help you understand how to make the most of your prescription drug coverage while keeping your costs down. You can:
If you enroll in the Traditional PPO plan, you'll also have access to the SaveOnSP program, which can save you out of pocket costs if you use one of the covered specialty drugs.
Certain medications may require prior authorizations, in order for them to be covered by the plan. Your provider will need to work with Express Scripts to provide documentation for this authorization process. The cost of your prescription drugs under each medical plan depends on the tier of the medication:
If you regularly take long-term or maintenance medication to treat a chronic condition — such as an allergy, heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes — using the Express Scripts mail-order program is convenient and saves you money. After two pharmacy fills of the same medication, you are required to fill any additional prescriptions through mail-order, otherwise additional costs may apply.
Why use mail-order?
Get started with mail-order
Using mail-order is easy! You can ask your doctor to submit your prescription directly to Express Scripts, or fill out a form to transfer existing prescriptions. Click here to learn more.
Generic medications are generally just as effective as brand-name medications, but they typically cost between 80% and 85% less. The Mosaic prescription drug program requires the use of generic medications when available. If you elect to receive a brand-name drug when a generic equivalent is available — even if your doctor writes your prescription as Dispense as Written (DAW) — your cost will be the copayment for the drug plus the difference in cost between the brand-name drug and the generic drug.
If you take any oral or injectable specialty medications that are self-administered, you may be required to purchase these medications through the specialty pharmacy. Specialty medications include those used to treat multiple sclerosis, hepatitis C, rheumatoid arthritis, hemophilia and self-administered oral cancer medications. They may require additional authorization.
If you enroll in the Traditional Health Plan Option, you have access to participate in the SaveOnSP (Save On Specialty) program that can save you out of pocket costs on covered specialty drugs. The medications and associated copays included in this program are subject to plan clinical rules and are subject to change.
For additional information on the SaveOnSP program, call 1-800-683-1074.

Get the most value from your medical plan and help reduce your health care spending by following these consumer-smart tips:
They’ve agreed to charge only up to negotiated rates and bill your insurance company directly, which saves you money and time. Also, check with your insurance company to ensure that a service is covered before you receive care.
It’s covered in full by all of the 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.
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. And with an FSA, the money in your FSA does not carry over to the next plan year; you must “use it or lose it.”
Using generic alternatives will almost always save you money — and they’re just as effective as brand name prescriptions. Also, try calling a few local pharmacies to compare prices before deciding where to fill a prescription. For your ongoing prescriptions, use the mail-order service to save money and time.
It offers valuable resources to help you improve your health. In addition, the Virgin Pulse wellness incentive program allows you to earn money for completing different wellness related activities!
