2022 Medical Plan Options

You have two options: the Traditional PPO or the SavingsPlus HSA.

How the SavingsPlus HSA and Traditional PPO are Similar

You can visit any provider you choose. The plan pays more when you receive care in network.
Most in-network preventive care is covered at 100% and is not subject to the deductible.
Once you reach the deductible, the plan pays a percentage of eligible expenses (coinsurance) until you reach the out-of-pocket maximum, then it pays 100% of eligible in-network expenses and formulary drug costs for the rest of the year.

How the SavingsPlus HSA Differs from the Traditional PPO

You’ll have more control – With lower monthly contributions, you may decide to set aside more in the HSA. You can use your HSA to pay for qualified healthcare expenses or save funds for later. Money in your account is yours to keep even if you change plans or leave Sanofi. No “use it or lose it” rule applies.
Sanofi will help fund your HSA – You can use your HSA dollars to help pay for medical expenses now or in the future. Unused HSA dollars roll over from year to year.
Tax advantaged savings – The HSA is a powerful savings vehicle. Contributions, investment earnings, and qualified distributions all are exempt from federal income tax, FICA (Social Security and Medicare) tax and state income tax (except in New Jersey and California).

Important note about the Healthcare FSA and the SavingsPlus HSA option

If you elect the SavingsPlus HSA option for your medical coverage, you will no longer be able to use the Healthcare FSA. You’ll still have a 2.5-month grace period, meaning you can incur new claims against your account through March 15. Funds remaining in your account after the claim submission deadline will be forfeited. However, until your FSA is closed, you will not be able to open an HSA or receive Sanofi contributions to your HSA. However, once you do open the HSA the full company contribution will still be made.

The claims submission deadline for 2021 claims is December 31, 2022. The claims submission deadline for 2022 claims will be June 30, 2023. The claims submission deadline is different from the date you can incur new claims against your account, which is March 15 of each year.
