Your Medical FSA lets you set aside money from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis to use for eligible out-of-pocket expenses. You can spend your FSA contributions on the eligible general-purpose health expenses such as: copays and coinsurance from your health plans for you and your eligible dependents, over-the-counter medications including feminine products, diabetic supplies, braces, dental implants or other major dental services; and eyeglasses or contact lenses. Elected amount is available on the 1st day of the plan year (January 1st)

Dependent Care

Your Dependent Care FSA lets you save money on day care expenses for children up to age 13 or a disabled spouse or dependent of any age who are incapable of self-care. Eligible expenses may include; After-school Care or Extended Day Programs, Licensed babysitting and childcare providers, summer or sports camps (overnight or sleepaway not eligible), disabled dependent care expenses, elder care. Reimbursements cannot exceed the election amounts deposited into the account to date (money in, money out).

Gym Memberships Enrollment & Renewal

Gym memberships must be renewed each year during open enrollment for the reimbursement to continue in January.
Employees enrolling for the first time, please be sure to advise Human Resources whether you would like the enrollment to be effective in the next payroll warrant or wait for a January start date.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If you are electing to default your current elections and don’t plan to make any changes to my medical or other benefit plans, do I need to do anything?

No, unless you currently waive medical coverage or want to enroll in an FSA for 2025 or have a gym membership you would like to continue in January.

If I waive coverage now and suddenly lose coverage after open enrollment ends, will I be able to enroll in medical coverage through the City later?

Yes, loss of coverage is a qualifying event, contact Human Resources as soon as you learn you will lose coverage, and they can assist with your enrollment. Remember you will have 60 days to enroll in benefits from the date you lose coverage, but if you contact Human Resources early you may be able to avoid a gap in coverage.

How do I figure out what I am paying for medical coverage now and what I will be paying in the 2025 plan year?

You can figure out your current out of pocket premium contribution a couple different ways. You can login into your Sign In (neogov.com) portal to see your current enrollments.

If you need help, contact Human Resources, openenrollment@antiochca.gov.

I am thinking of changing my health plan in 2025, where do I even start?

There are a few resources that you will want to look at to assist you in picking a new plan; download the Health Benefit Summary and 2025 Benefits Worksheet for your Bargaining Unit by clicking here.

  1. Determine which plans are available in your County. Check pages 6-7 of the Health Benefit Summary to determine which plans are available in your County. For example, the plans available in Contra Costa County are: Anthem HMO Select, Anthem HMO Traditional, Blue Shield Access , Blue Shield Trio, Kaiser, PERS Gold, and PERS Choice, PORAC, UnitedHealthcare SignatureValue Alliance, and Harmony.
  2. Determine which plan(s) cover your physician/group/hospital.If you have a specific physician, hospital, or group that you would like to keep, this may limit the number of plans available to you. Use the websites and numbers on page 14 of the Health Benefit Summary to check which groups, physicians and hospitals are in each plans network. If you need assistance contact Human Resources at openenrollment@antiochca.gov.
  3. Compare the plans available to you.If your physician/hospital/group are covered by multiple plans use pages 16 – 23 of the Health Benefit Summary to compare the coverage by each plan. HMOs are listed in blue and PPOs are listed in orange.
  4. Compare the monthly premium for plans available to you and the copayments.
