With an enVia Health Spending Account, you’ll enjoy a much broader range of claimable health & dental expenses - and freedom from the annual cost increases typical of traditional benefit plans - with no wasted premiums, deductibles or co-payments.

Who's it for?
Key Features
  • Not a traditional insurance plan, rather a tax-deductible “private health services plan” allowing you to write off your health & dental expenses
     
  • Much wider range of claimable expenses
     
  • No wasted premiums - you only pay for the health & dental benefits you actually use
     
  • Pay-Direct drug & dental card included at no extra charge for efficient, speedy claims payment
     
  • automatically includes “Catastrophic Insurance” to cover any sudden, unanticipated expensive claims for prescription drugs, hospital or private duty nursing

The eHSA Program is available to:

  • Business owners, their families and their employees;
     
  • Incorporated self-employed entrepreneurs;
     
  • Sole Proprietors (subject to CCRA deduction limits);
     
  • Employees (who work for a “flexible” employer)
     
  • Employer groups, but on an individual employee basis.
     
  • Families with Special Needs Children and high medical expenses
What expenses can you claim from your eHSA?

Probably a lot more than you’d think, and definitely a lot more than any traditional group insurance plan. Here’s just a partial list of eligible expenses (including your dependent’s expenses) as defined in the Federal Income Tax Act, and notice how you can claim expenses not reimbursed under other medical and dental plans because of deductibles, maximum limits and co-insurance:

eHSA-quick-overview

 

 

The “employer” (including the self-employed) determines how much to contribute based on the available funds for this purpose. The minimum net annual contribution to the eHSA is $1,000 (plus administration fees & catastrophic insurance premium). The full net amount is therefore available to be spent on the participant’s eligible expenses. The monthly cost for various employer contribution amounts is included in the Individual Application form.

The eHSA can be utilized to meet all or most of a family’s needs for health and dental protection.  Additional protection is provided through the automatically included “Catastrophic Insurance”. The cost of this additional protection with a deductible of $2,500 per person is included in the administration fees.

 a summary. 

What if a participant requires more funds in their eHSA to cover anticipated expenses?
The participant may approach the employer to enter into a “compensation arrangement” on a year to year basis. Under such a formalized arrangement that does not cost the employer anything other than a change to payroll for the individual, the employee would take a reduction in salary of “X” thousand dollars per year (including the eHSA administration fees) and have the employer contribute this amount in pre-tax dollars to the their personal eHSA account. This enables the employee to have sufficient funds available in a tax sheltered vehicle to cover their family’s medical or dental expense. It is the most tax-effective method of handling the cost of major dental expenses such as Orthodontia or dental implants, or Fertility treatments.
