Health Care Estimator
You can reduce your out-of-pocket health care expenses by paying for them with before-tax dollars that you contribute to a Health Care Spending Account. If you choose to contribute to the Health Care account, the following calculator helps you determine how much to set aside. You can contribute from $50 to $5,000 a year. Important considerations:
Eligible Expenses: Deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, many uninsured expenses, expenses above plan benefit limits, expenses above Reasonable and Customary charges.
Ineligible Expenses: Most cosmetic procedures, health care premiums, any expense reimbursed by any other group plan, etc. For more information on the Health Care Reimbursement Account, see the Reimbursement Account section of Benefit Details.
Note: Expenses incurred by a same-sex domestic partner/civil union are not eligible for reimbursement.
This estimator uses 2007 tax information.

Also assumes that 7.65% FICA tax applies if your annual pay is less than $102,000 in 2008 otherwise, FICA tax savings are 1.45%.
Keep in mind
- This tool is based on current tax laws, which are subject to change. Estimates are provided for federal tax savings only.
- Your own unique tax situation may result in tax savings different from those displayed.
- This estimator in no way guarantees that any particular expenses will be eligible under the plan.
- Under the Health Care Reimbursement Account, you have a two-and-a-half month extension for incurring claims. This means, if you enroll, you may use your annual account (January 1 through December 31, 2008) to pay for eligible health care services received and prescription drugs and products purchased through March 15, 2009.
- We encourage you to consult your personal tax advisor if you have any questions about the Health Care Reimbursement Account or the results obtained from this estimator.
