Medical and Prescription Drug Plans
AHEAD continues to offer health insurance through BCBSIL. The PPO plan provides employees access to a
national network of healthcare providers who meet stringent credentialing standards.
The HSA plan uses the same network as the PPO plan, but the plan does not pay for services until you satisfy
your deductible. When you are enrolled in the HSA, you can open a health savings account to help you pay
for qualified medical expenses. If you are interested in opening or contributing to an HSA, please speak to
Human Resources.

specialists, and health plan are all part of one connected team—coordinating your care seamlessly so you
don’t have to. If you decide to enroll in a Kaiser Plan, you will be connected with a doctor who best suits you.
You can select one doctor for your whole family or a different doctor for each family member. With Kaiser,

Flexible Spending Program
Flexible spending accounts provide reduced tax liability on certain eligible expenses. Each year at open
enrollment, employees are asked to make FSA elections for the upcoming year. Elections for healthcare
expenses and dependent care expenses are offered. The amounts directed into the FSA reduce the
employee’s state, federal and Social Security taxes. The employee elections are taken out of each paycheck
on a pretax basis in equal installments throughout the year. If you had an FSA contribution last year,
that amount will not be assumed for this year. You must re-elect your FSA amount(s). The FSA/
transportation benefit provider is Employee Benefits Corporation.
