Biometric Screenings on Your Time

Complete Your Screening & Earn Rewards

  • To maximize your premium discounts for the 2027 benefits plan year, make sure you and your eligible spouse complete your biometric screenings by Sept. 30, 2026. This ensures your premium discounts start on Jan. 1, 2027.
  • Any biometric screenings completed after Sept. 30 but before Nov. 30, 2026, will still earn premium discounts but will not be applied retroactively to Jan. 1, 2027. Therefore, we highly encourage you to get your screenings done by Sept. 2026 to take advantage of the full premium discounts for 2027.

Using Your Health Savings Account (HSA)

How Your HSA Works & How to Contribute Funds
Bloomin' Benefits 5 Category: Live

Health Savings Account (HSA)

The Choice HSA medical plan has a health savings account (HSA) administered by AccrueHealth.

Opening an HSA

By opening an HSA, you can:

  • Set aside money pretax to pay for qualified expenses.
  • Earn tax-free interest over time.
  • Make tax-free withdrawals to pay for qualified medical, dental, and vision expenses.
  • Use it as a retirement savings tool. Invest part of your HSA in mutual funds to save for the future.

Contributing Your Own Funds to Your HSA

You can elect to deposit your own money into your HSA from each paycheck before your pay is taxed. The maximum amount you can contribute to your HSA is the annual limit set by the IRS, plus any catch-up contributions if you are eligible.

2026 IRS contribution limits:

  • $4,400 if you only cover yourself.
  • $8,750 if you cover family members.
  • If you are age 55 or older, you can contribute an additional $1,000.

How Medical Expenses Are Paid

When you incur eligible health care expenses, it’s your choice how you pay. You can choose to pay using funds from the HSA or pay another way (e.g., cash or card).

As a reminder, in-network preventive care services are covered 100% throughout the plan year and do not affect your HSA funds.

The Choice HSA medical plan has a deductible, which is the total amount you must pay for non-preventive services before coinsurance takes effect.

Coinsurance is when the medical plan shares in the cost of eligible healthcare expenses. This takes effect after you have paid the plan deductible.

For example, if the plan pays 80% of the cost for services after the deductible is met, you will pay the remaining 20% of the cost.

Note: If any dependents are enrolled in your coverage, you must meet the family deductible before the plan shares the cost of eligible expenses.

Once your deductible and coinsurance payments add up to the plan’s out-of-pocket maximum, the plan will pay 100% of all eligible healthcare expenses for the rest of the plan year.

What is a Break in Service?

If you have no hours of service for 14 weeks or longer, you will be considered as having a break in service. When you return to work, you will be treated like a new Team Member for benefits and will be subject to the initial eligibility review as described in Initial Eligibility & Enrollment.

  • If you return or are rehired and begin accruing hours of service within 14 weeks of your last day of service or your termination date, you will not be considered as having had a break in service and your eligibility will not be reset.
  • If you are benefits-eligible upon your return, you will have the opportunity to re-elect benefits effective the first of the month following or coinciding with your rehire date. You will have 45 days from your benefits effective date to enroll in coverage. For example, if you can join the benefits plan starting on June 1, you will have until July 15 to enroll.

If you are benefit-eligible and your break in services lasts less than 30 days, your previous benefit elections will be automatically reinstated with no gap in coverage.
