ABOUT THIS GUIDE
We understand that choosing your benefits is an important decision for you and your family. Everyone’s needs are unique. We offer a
variety of benefits and options so you can choose what works best for you and your family. A number of these benefits are provided
at no cost to you. We created this guide to help you make informed decisions. It is not a complete detailed description, nor is it a
contract of employment or a guarantee of benefits. More detailed information for each benefit is contained in the relevant insurance
policy’s Summary Plan Description (SPD).
Great care has been taken to ensure that this guide is accurate. However, oversights can occur or condensed summaries can be
misinterpreted. If there is a difference between this overview and the SPD or official plan documents governing the plan, the plan
documents will be followed. The company reserves the right to amend or terminate the program in whole or in part at any time.

of the required plan design. In order to stay compliant with the

hey, those enrolled in the CDHP plan will have lower cost than
a standard office visit!

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

(HSA)

WHAT IS AN HSA?
An HSA is federal income tax-free, and used to save
money and pay for qualified medical, vision and dental
expenses – including deductibles, copays, coinsurance
and prescriptions. When you have medical expenses,
including those that may apply to your annual deductible,
you can choose to pay for them using the money in your
HSA. Or, you can save the money for a future need—even
into retirement.

Customer Service: Phone number on your debit card or call
Aetna customer service
Website: Your HSA account is linked through your Aetna
Navigator Account

It’s your choice. The money deposited, up to a maximum
annual amount, is tax deductible and interest accrues
taxfree or tax-deferred.

AM I ELIGIBLE?

With an HSA, you are in charge. You decide how much
you will contribute to your account, when you want to use
your savings to pay for or reimburse yourself for qualified
expenses, and whether or not to invest some of your
savings in mutual funds for greater potential long-term
growth.
Funds from your HSA may even be used for qualified
expenses for your spouse or dependents - even if they are
not enrolled in your medical plan.

•

You must be enrolled in a Qualified High Deductible Health
Plan (QHDHP) that is HSA compatible

•

You cannot be covered by any other health insurance
individually or via another family member

•

You cannot be claimed as a dependent on another
person’s tax return

•

You must be under age 65 or - if 65 or older - have not
elected Medicare Parts A or B

For those who enroll in one of our CDHP plans, QuEST
will contribute the following amounts directly into your HSA
(prorated for those who join the plan during the year):

WHAT ARE THE KEY BENEFITS OF AN HSA?
Any money deposited into your HSA is yours to keep.
There is no “use it or lose it” rule. If you leave your employer
or change health plans, you can take your HSA with you.
Its portable! Funds that are not used for current health
expenses are saved for future use. The funds in your HSA
earn interest, and when a certain balance is reached, can
be invested in a wide-variety of investment options.

•

$500 for employee only

•

$750 for employee plus spouse

•

$750 for employee plus child(ren)

•

$1,500 for employee plus family

Withdrawals from an HSA are not taxed as long as they
are used to pay for qualified health care expenses. Once
you reach age 65, you can even use your account for
nonhealthcare related retirement expenses, but this money
is taxable.

IMPORTANT HSA FACTS & FIGURES
1.

2019 Contribution Limitations: Individual - $3,500. Family - $7,000.

2.

Approved IRS Additional Catch-up Contribution: Currently, the IRS allows people aged 55 to 65 to contribute an
additional $1,000 per year for an Individual or Family HSA account.

3.

Changes from a CDHP Plan: If you cease to be enrolled in a high-deductible plan, the money in your HSA account is
yours to pay for qualified expenses with no time limit. However, you can no longer contribute any additional funds.

4.

Important Documentation: It is highly recommended that you save all receipts in the case of an IRS audit so you can
explain why you believed a certain expense was a qualified expense.

5.

Important Note: If you use your HSA to pay for an ineligible expense, you may be required to pay income taxes and an
additional penalty tax.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
SECTION 125 PLAN

through pre-tax payroll deductions taken from their paychecks
throughout the year. The payroll deductions are calculated
by dividing the total cost of vacation time purchased by the
number of paychecks remaining in a month at the time of
purchase.

QuEST has established a Section 125 Plan. This plan allows
employees to make any required benefit contributions on a
pre-tax basis before state, federal, and social security taxes
are withheld. Employee contributions made to the medical,
dental and vision plans will be automatically deducted from an
employee’s pay.

Cost of vacation hours = # of hours purchased X hourly wage
rate at the time of purchase
Hourly wage rate = Full time annual base pay of 2080

VACATION BUY PLAN

Vacation purchased under this plan must be scheduled
and taken in accordance with QuEST’s vacation process
requirements. Purchased vacation can be used only after you
have utilized your company provided vacation entitlement.
Purchased vacation hours not used will not be paid out or
carried over into the next calendar year.

All full time & part time regular employees are eligible to
purchase additional vacation on a pre-tax basis (before
federal, state, and social security taxes are deducted). This
policy allows you to purchase additional paid time off without
being financially impacted all at once. As an eligible employee,
you may purchase a minimum of 8 hours to a maximum of 40
hours of vacation in addition to the vacation you are otherwise
eligible to receive from QuEST-Global N.A. Inc.

Unused “Purchased Vacation Time” will be returned to an
employee whose employment is terminated.
When taking purchased vacation, enter project/task number
IPMS code “Vacation Buy Plan” under “Employee Non
Availability drop down list” and the number of the hours on
your timecard.

New Hires may purchase vacation after they have completed
their waiting period to enroll in company’s benefits. The waiting
period is communicated to each new hire at the time of their
joining. The enrollment is done usi..ng an electronic benefit

Overview

QuEST believes planning for your future is important and
wants to help you build retirement security. Participating in the
QuEST Global 401(k) plan is a great way to start planning for
retirement.
Here are some of the plan’s valuable features:
•

You are always 100% vested in (meaning you ”own”) your
paycheck contributions, rollover contributions and any
earnings on these amounts.

•

Any earnings on your contributions grow tax-free and are
not taxed until you take them out of the plan.

•

Your pre-tax contributions reduce your taxable income so
you pay fewer taxes throughout the year.

EXAMPLE 1: JOHNNY ON THE SPOT

EXAMPLE 2: MARY’S MOVING UP

John, who is 45 and likely to retire at 67, generally contributes
the maximum to his 401(k) plan. His overall federal and state
tax rate is 40 percent, and he is considering a Roth 401(k)
contribution.

Mary is 30, in the 25 percent tax bracket and will retire at age
67. She expects her income to rise considerably and thus her
tax bracket will be 40 percent later in her career. Mary thinks
she can save $10,000 this year. She must go through many of
the same decision steps as John (see above), but she already
knows that her tax rate is likely to increase and that she has
many years before retirement.

Here are the decision steps John faces:
1.

John must consider that the contributions are fully taxable
upfront. If he chooses a $15,000 Roth 401(k) contribution,
he will have to pay the $6,000 taxes on the contribution
from somewhere else. That $6,000 will then not be
available to him and he will lose the earnings on that
$6,000 over the next 22 years (less the taxes he would
pay on the earnings).

2.

John needs to determine whether his tax bracket is likely
to change when he retires. If he is covered by a pension
plan and holds significant investments, John may be in
the same tax bracket for many years after retirement. On
the other hand, without a pension, John’s tax bracket may
drop from 40 percent to 25 percent during retirement.

3.

John needs to decide whether his return on investment
(ROI) outside of the plan will be significantly better than his
ROI inside of the plan. If John makes a traditional 401(k)
contribution and puts what would otherwise be his $6,000
tax payment into a high-yield investment outside the plan,
he might be better off because his rate of return (even
after yearly taxes) will be high. But if John puts the $6,000
into a money market account outside the plan, where it
would earn significantly less, he may have been better off
making a Roth 401(k) contribution with after-tax dollars.

4.

Some possible outcomes:

John needs to decide whether he believes the tax rates
currently in effect will be higher or lower when he retires.
This is not an easy projection. Within the last 20 years, top
federal income tax rates have been as high as 70 percent
and as low as 28 percent. If John thinks the income tax
rates will increase, paying tax at 40 percent may be better
than paying higher rates later (especially if John’s income
is otherwise expected to be steady).

•

If Mary puts $10,000 in as a regular contribution she will
not pay federal income tax on the amount now. Assume
that Mary would take a lump sum distribution at age
67. The $10,000 contributed to the plan pre-tax would
grow (6 percent compounded monthly) to approximately
$91,565, but she would pay approximately $36,600 in
tax on the distribution. Her distribution would thus be
$54,965
after tax.

•

Because she can only save $10,000, if she chooses a
Roth 401(k) Mary will contribute $7,500 to the plan and
will pay the $2,500 as tax. However, at age 67 she will
pay no tax on the distribution, which includes 37 years
of earnings. Assuming a 6 percent return (compounding
monthly), her $7,500 contribution will be worth
approximately $68,674
tax free.

•

As these calculations show, present and future tax
brackets make a big difference in deciding between
a regular or Roth 401(k) contribution. To reiterate, if a
person in a high tax bracket expects the tax bracket to
drop after retirement, a Roth 401(k) may not be the best
choice. A young person in a lower tax bracket, however,
could well decide that a Roth 401(k) makes more sense.

See more at: https://www.shrm.org/hrdisciplines/benefits/
articles/pages/cms_013672.aspx#sthash.KhVP3DdP.dpuf

If John thinks the tax rate is likely to drop, he would not
generally want to choose a Roth 401(k). Likewise, if John’s
tax rate is likely to remain the same and his return inside or
outside the plan would be reasonably comparable, the Roth
401(k) may not be worthwhile.
And here are a few possible outcomes:
•

John decides on a Roth 401(k) contribution but also
decides not to pay tax from another source, so he
reduces his Roth 401(k) contribution to make up for the
taxes. Instead of contributing $15,000, John contributes
$9,000. Assume John’s tax rate remains the same for
the whole period and that he will take a lump sum at age
67, and that the plans internal rate of return is 6 percent
(compounding monthly). At age 67, John’s $9,000 Roth
401(k) contribution is worth $33,580, none of it taxable.

•

If John contributed $15,000 to a traditional 401(k), it
would be worth $55,970 but he would pay $22,388 in
taxes. Thus, his after-tax distribution would be $33,582.
Given rounding differences, he comes out the same.

•

If John retires when his top tax rate is 50 percent instead
of 40 percent, he would pay approximately $27,985
in taxes and have only $27,985 remaining. However, if
John’s tax rate dropped below 40 percent at age 67, the
regular 401(k) contribution would be the better deal.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
This glossary contains terms and definitions which are intended to be educational. (See your Summary of Benefits and Coverage Plan
Document or Summary Plan Description for more information.)

ALLOWED BENEFIT

DEDUCTIBLE

The amount established for payment of covered in-network
services. The Allowed Benefit will generally be lower than
the amount charged. You are responsible for co-payments,
coinsurance and all charges that exceed the Allowed Benefit
for services received out-of-network. This is called balance
billing.

A fixed dollar amount during the benefit period - usually a year
- that an insured person pays before the insurer starts to make
payments for covered medical services. Plans may have both
per individual and family deductibles.

BALANCE BILLING

A questionnaire that insurance companies use to ask about
the health of a participant. Depending on the responses, this
may lead to the requirement of a physical exam. These forms
are often used if you apply for voluntary benefits outside of your
initial eligibility period or if you apply for a coverage amount
above the Guaranteed Issue amount.

EVIDENCE OF INSURABILITY

When a provider bills you for the difference between the
provider’s charge and the carrier’s discounted price (“Allowed
Benefit”). For example, if the provider’s charge is $100 and
the allowed benefit is $70, the provider may bill you for the
remaining $30. An in-network provider may not balance bill for
the difference between their charge and the Allowed Benefit.

GUARANTEED ISSUE
The amount of coverage (benefit) the insurance company is
willing to provide regardless of your health. Guaranteed Issue
only applies if you enroll in the program when you are first
eligible for coverage.

COINSURANCE
The portion of the cost of covered medical services paid
by the patient under a health plan, after first meeting any
applicable plan deductible. Coinsurance amounts, which are
typically a percentage of the cost, may vary by type of service.
Coinsurance requirements are specified in the plan documents.

MAIL ORDER
A benefit that allows you to receive multiple months’ worth of
maintenance medication by mail.

CO-PAYMENT

OUT-OF-POCKET MAXIMUM

A set dollar amount or portion that you pay for your medical
services. Usually, copays start after you first pay any deductible
your plan has. Copays may differ by type of service. You can
find your copay rules in your plan documents.

QuEST Global

The limit on the amount an individual is required to pay for
health care services covered by his or her benefits plan. Look
for this information in insurance plan documents such as your
Certificate of Coverage.
