High Deductible Plan with HSA in ESS

unknown

We are setting up our system for our Open Enrollment in October.  For 2017, we are adding a new high deductible plan to our health benefit that currently includes PPO options.  I created the HDP plan under Health (HL) and the HSA plan under (RS) in BN15.  The issue is that the employee will be able to get an HSA account only if a HDP plan is chosen, not PPO and vice versa, the employee cannot participate in a FSA plan if is in the HDP plan.  How do you configure these filters when using ESS?  Any comment could help.  Thank you.

We are on version 9.0.1.6 and there is no functionality to make one benefit dependent upon enrollment in another so we added verbiage in ESS explaining this. Unfortunately we still have a certain number of employees who don't read the information so we have created audits that run through annual enrollment to find employees who enrolled in HSA when they did not elect the HDHP and follow up with the employees to explain.



Version 10.0 does provide the functionality in ESS to require enrollment in the HDHP before the employee is offered HSA. We are just starting our upgrade so I have not actually worked with the functionality; I have just seen it in the "What's New" documentation.
