Information About Your 2017 Benefits Please read the information provided in this Comparison Chart Administrative Notices Duplicate Coverage Information
If you and your spouse/partner are both a City employee/retiree, you both cannot enroll each other or the same eligible dependents on your City medical, dental, vision and prescription plans during any coverage period. You will be notified to adjust duplicate coverage, if applicable.
Summary Benefits and Coverage (SBC)
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) requires health plans and health insurance issuers to provide a Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) to applicants and enrollees. The SBC is a concise document providing simple and consistent information about health plan benefits and coverage. Its purpose is to help health plan consumers better understand the coverage they have and to help them make easy comparisons of different options when shopping for new coverage. The City of Baltimore will post this document on its enrollment website: www.baltimorecity.essbenefits.com under its own drop down menu labeled Summary of Benefits and Coverage.
Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) Mandatory Reporting
Under the Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) Mandatory Reporting Provision and the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Individual Shared Responsibility Reporting provision, the federal law requires the mandatory collection and reporting of social security numbers of all covered participants, including employees, retirees and their dependents through employer group health plans. Noncompliance may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS under Section 6723 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Important Medicare Information

IMPORTANT MEDICARE INFORMATION Actively Employed with the City of Baltimore (COB) At Age 65 & Older
What should I do if I am still actively employed and enrolled in health benefits with the City of Baltimore when I turn age 65? If you are still employed and enrolled in health benefits with the City of Baltimore (COB) as an active full-time employee when you (or your spouse) turn age 65, you should contact Social Security Administration (SSA) three months before you (or your spouse) turn age 65 to enroll in Medicare Part A and Part B. However, if you decide to remain employed as an active full-time employee with COB beyond age 65 and you (and your spouse) remain enrolled in COB group health benefits, you (or your spouse) may consider delaying your enrollment in Medicare Part B through SSA without a late-enrollment penalty. Your (and spouse’s) health plan coverage will remain primary until your employment or coverage ends, whichever occurs first. Three months before and 8 months after your current employment or group health plan coverage ends with the COB, whichever happens first, you must visit your local Social Security office to enroll in Medicare Part B during the Special Enrollment Period, which runs for 8 months from the date your employment and/or group health plan coverage ends. Prior to your Special Enrollment Period, you should obtain a Request For Employment Information form from SSA to be completed by the Employee Benefits Division. If you are an employee of BCPSS, this form must be completed by the BCPSS - Office of Benefits Management. This form verifies your employment and health benefits status with the Baltimore City or BCPSS at the time your employment ends. Return the completed form to your Social Security office in order to waive the late-enrollment penalty for enrollment in Medicare Part B. Note: If you wait until after you retire (within the 8-month special enrollment period) to enroll in Medicare Part B, your Medicare Part B start date will be delayed causing a lapse in coverage and out of pocket expenses.
Who do I contact if I have any questions? If you have any questions regarding your Baltimore City medical plan coverage, please contact our office at 410-396-5830/TTY 711 (Maryland). Baltimore City retirees should select option 2 and BCPSS retirees should select option 3, and then choose option 1 to speak to a customer service representative. If you have any questions regarding the Baltimore City Medicare Part D Rx Plan, please call 410-396-1780. If you have any questions regarding Medicare enrollment in Part A and Part B, please contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213. If you have any questions regarding Medicare benefits, please call 1-800633-4227. 7
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) The City of Baltimore gives you the opportunity to save taxes on your eligible health and dependent care expenses by participating in one or both flexible spending accounts (FSAs): Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Participation in both types of flexible spending accounts is completely voluntary and currently administered by, Vantagen Baker Tilly. If you choose to enroll, simply decide how much to contribute each year to one or both accounts. Contributions to your account(s) are deducted from your paycheck before federal, state* income and Social Security taxes are withheld. This reduces your taxes and saves you money. When you have an eligible expense, you submit a claim for reimbursement to the City’s FSA Administrator, Vantagen. FSA Eligibility You can use your Health Care FSA to be reimbursed for eligible health care expenses incurred by you, your spouse, your qualifying child, or your qualifying relative. You may use your Dependent Care FSA to be reimbursed for eligible dependent care expenses for your child (under age 13) or other qualifying individual. Please see the Flexible Spending Account FAQs at www.myflexdollars.com for more information. You will need to register the first time you use the site Enrolling in an FSA If you are a new hire, you may enroll in one or both of the FSAs. Your FSA participation becomes effective with your first payroll deduction, as long as you enroll online within 45 days from your date of hire. Once enrolled, you may not change your election mid-year unless you have a Qualified Life Event (QLE), such as marriage or the birth of a child. (See the “General Information” section of the City’s Benefits Guide for more information on Qualified Life Events). Each year during the annual benefits Open Enrollment period, you may choose to enroll or re-enroll in one or both of the FSAs. Your participation starts on the January 1 following your enrollment. You must re-enroll each year during Open Enrollment if you wish to participate in one or both FSAs the following plan year. Your enrollment does not automatically carry over from year to year. If you do not actively enroll in an FSA during Open Enrollment, you will not participate in that FSA for the following year. Estimating Your Expenses If you are enrolling during the annual Open Enrollment period, your election will be in force for the full plan year (January 1 – December 31). Therefore, you should estimate your eligible expenses for the full twelve months. However, if you are a new hire, you should estimate only those expenses you will incur from the effective date of your enrollment to the end of the year, December 31. Estimate carefully to avoid forfeiting any money left in these FSA accounts. For more information about the FSA plans please visit the enrollment website at https://www.baltimorecity.essbenefits.com , located under “plan Information”. To receive information on the eligible health care expenses, and dependent care expenses, please call Vantagen at 1-800-307-0230. You may also visit www.myflexdollars.com .

Waiver Credit You have the option of opting out of certain City of Baltimore health benefits and electing the waiver credit. The City of Baltimore determines which waiver credit applies to you, based on your union affiliation. The Waiver Credit amount is provided in increments over the course of the full plan year if enrolling during Open Enrollment or based on the number of pay periods left in the year for a new employee. New employees have 45 days from their date of hire to enroll online for the waiver credit. If, after waiving coverage with the City of Baltimore, you (the employee) lose coverage due to divorce, loss of employment, or the death of your spouse or other person who is the source of coverage, you may enroll in health benefits through the City within 60 days of the qualifying life event. In this case, you will relinquish the waiver payment. $2,500 Waiver Credit AFSCME Local 558, 44, and 2202 If you are represented by the AFSCME Local 558, 44, or 2202 union, you may elect the $2,500 waiver credit. To receive the waiver credit, you must enroll online within 45 days of hire or during the Open Enrollment period each year. When you make this election, you are waiving medical, dental, prescription drug, and vision coverage with the understanding that you cannot enroll in any of these plans, as the policyholder or as a dependent, through the City of Baltimore for that plan year. You must re-enroll each year. $650 Waiver Credit (waives Medical only) CUB, MAPS, and Police If you are represented by the CUB, MAPS, or Police union, you may elect the $650 waiver credit. To receive this waiver credit you must enroll online within 45 days of hire or during the Open Enrollment period each year. If you waive medical coverage, you may still elect dental, prescription drug, and vision coverage. However, you may not elect dental, prescription drug, and vision coverage as the policyholder if you are already enrolled as a dependent under the City plans for that plan year. You must re-enroll each year. $650 Waiver Credit (waives Medical and Prescription Drug) Firefighters and Fire Officers If you are a firefighter or fire officer, you may elect the $650 waiver credit. To receive this waiver credit, you must enroll online within 45 days of hire or during the Open Enrollment period each year. If you waive medical and prescription drug coverage, you may still elect dental and vision coverage. However, you may not elect dental and vision coverage as the policyholder if you are already enrolled as a dependent under the City plans for that plan year. You must re-enroll each year. Each year during the annual benefits Open Enrollment period, you may choose to enroll or re-enroll in the waiver credit. Your participation starts on the January 1 following your enrollment. You must re-enroll each year during Open Enrollment if you wish to receive the waiver credit the following plan year. Your enrollment does not automatically carry over from year to year. If you do not actively enroll in the waiver credit during Open Enrollment, you will not receive the increments for the following benefit year.
