A BILL
To enact section 124.824 of the Revised Code to
require the Department of Administrative Services
to make a high deductible health care plan
available to state employees and state elected
officials.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 124.824 of the Revised Code be
enacted to read as follows:
Sec. 124.824. The department of administrative services
shall establish a high deductible health care plan as part of any
package of health care benefit options offered to state employees
and state elected officials who are paid by warrant of the
director of budget and management. The department shall make both
individual and family coverage available through the high
deductible health care plan. The high deductible health care plan
shall not increase the cost of providing health insurance to state
employees and state elected officials.
The amount of the premium or cost for coverage under the high
deductible health care plan contributed by the state, for an
individual or for an individual and the individual's family, shall
not exceed the amount of the premium or cost contributed by the
state for a standard deductible health care plan created under
division (A) of section 124.82 of the Revised Code.
An individual who has selected a high deductible health care
plan option shall establish a health savings account that
qualifies under section 223 of the Internal Revenue Code. The
state shall monthly deposit cash into the individual's health
savings account in an amount that equals eighty per cent of the
difference between the amount of the premium or cost contributed
by the state, for the individual or for the individual and the
individual's family, under a standard deductible health care plan
created under division (A) of section 124.82 of the Revised Code
and the amount of the premium or cost contributed by the state
under a high deductible health care plan created under this
section.
