Open Enrollment is here!

At Fresh Mark, we believe that you, our employees, are our most important asset. Helping you and your families achieve and maintain good health—physical, emotional and financial—is the reason Fresh Mark offers you this benefits program.

Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to enroll in benefits if previously waived, add or drop eligible dependents from coverage, elect a Flexible Spending or Dependent Care Account, or waive coverage. We are providing you with access to this microsite, so all your benefits information is right at your fingertips and easily accessible.   You will find an overview of each benefit under the Benefits tab.  This information will help you understand the benefits that are available to you and how to best use them. Please review it carefully and make sure to ask any important questions that you would like to have addressed. 

For more detailed information, please refer to your plan benefit booklets or summary plan descriptions (SPDs). The plan benefit booklets determine how all benefits are paid.

What is a High-Deductible Health Plan

A high-deductible health plan, also called a consumer-driven health plan, is health coverage with lower premiums but higher out-of-pocket cost when you need care. HDHPs are designed to safeguard against catastrophic out-of-pocket cost for covered treatments and services.

The IRS sets strict requirements around the deductible minimums and out-of-pocket maximums. The deductible must be met before the health plan pays for health care services beyond preventative care like annual physicals. Preventative care services are paid in full when received by an In-Network provider.

HDHP Plan In-Network Out-of-Network
Annual Deductible (Individual/Family) $3,400/$6,800 $6,400/$12,800
Coinsurance (after deductible) 100% 50%
Maximum Out-of-Pocket (Individual/Family) $3,400/$6,800 $9,600/$19,200

Health Savings Account (HSA)

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an interest-bearing checking account that you can fund with pre-tax contributions and is owned by you. You can use the money in your HSA to pay for your Qualified Medical Expenses including your prescriptions, medical, dental and vision expenses. You can even use the money to pay for COBRA premiums and retirement healthcare expenses. Once you have $1,000 in your HSA, you can begin to invest those dollars, increasing your tax-free earning potential!

The HSA is administered by Medical Mutual. Fresh Mark will make a contribution to your HSA if you open an account. The annual contribution is $500 if on Employee only coverage $750 if on Employee +1 Coverage and $1,000 in on Family coverage. Please note the Fresh Mark contribution amount will be contributed on a prorated basis throughout the year. You can also contribute to the account up to the IRS limits of $4,300 single or $8,550 family. And, unlike the HRA, the monies belong to you and grow for your retirement. There is no use it or lose it.

To be eligible to open an HSA account you must meet the following criteria:

  • You cannot be covered by any other medical plan that is not an HSA-compatible health plan, including your spouse’s medical plan or health care flexible spending account
  • Be enrolled in the Medical Mutual HDHP Plan
  • Cannot be enrolled in Medicare. However, you may withdraw money from your HSA after you enroll in Medicare to help pay for medical expenses, including Medicare premiums (this does not include Medigap) as long as you are age 65 or older
  • Cannot be eligible to be claimed as a dependent on another individual’s tax return
  • Be a U.S. resident and not a resident of American Samoa
  • If you are a veteran, you may not have received veterans’ health benefits within the last three months

Vision Plan Highlights

Routine vision exams are important, not only for correcting vision but because they can detect other serious health conditions. We offer you a vision plan through Vision Service Plan (VSP). Vision coverage is available to all qualified employees.  If you do not wish to be enrolled for vision coverage, you can waive this option by completing the waiver section on the electronic enrollment form located in the Resource section above.

Voluntary Opt-Out Provision

Fresh Mark provides employees eligible for medical coverage with the ability to opt-out of (or waive) medical coverage for the 2025 Plan Year (January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025) as long as they have coverage under another employer sponsored medical plan.*  

Currently you will have the option to elect medical benefits or opt out of the medical plan, provided you have other group coverage. When making your annual elections on the UKG, please select either the medical plan or the opt out plan. Selecting both options may delay your proper election for 2025.

You will need to select how you would like to receive these funds. Selecting the Cash Out Option will provide benefits on a prorated basis via a monthly payment of $58.33. You can receive the full amount by placing those dollars into the Opt Out Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Opt Out Dependent Care Account (DCA). If you decide to set aside your own pre-tax dollars into the FSA or DCA, you will want to be sure to select the separate enrollment fields titled 2025 Flexible Spending Account or 2025 Dependent Care Account.

If you elect to receive your Opt-Out Payment in cash, it will be taxable when paid.  If you elect to allocate your Opt-Out Payment to your Health Care Flexible Spending Account, you may still contribute, from pre-tax wages, up to the federal limit of $3,200.  However, if you elect to allocate your Opt-Out Payment to your Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account, the amount allocated from your Opt-Out Payment must be included when determining the amount, you can contribute from pre-tax wages.  

All amounts contributed to your Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account, both from pre-tax wages and any employer contributions, including allocation of your Opt-Out Payment, must not exceed $5,000 ($2,500 if you are married and file your federal taxes as “married filing separately”).

If you are electing to opt out of benefits, you must complete the 2025 opt out form and upload the completed document to this portal. You can access the form via this link, then refer to the upload section of the portal for instructions on how to upload your form.

*Note that the other coverage must provide minimum essential coverage.  In addition, coverage obtained in the individual market does not qualify as “other coverage” for this purpose. If you opt out of vision coverage, this waiver credit will not apply and is only applicable for waiver of medical benefits.
