Introduction

Marathon Petroleum provides medical coverage to protect and promote your family’s health through the MPC Health Plan – a qualified plan that meets the standards of the Affordable Care Act and offers you a choice of two Preferred Provider Organization options. The Saver HSA and Classic options are both administered by Anthem BlueCross BlueShield (Anthem BCBS).

Note: There is a Kaiser HMO plan that is only available to employees with a permanent residence within the Kaiser California service area (N. CA or S. CA).

Saver HSA Option – Overview

The Saver HSA option is a “pay as you go” Health Plan option, and qualifies as a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). It has a lower premium, a higher deductible and the opportunity to open a portable Health Savings Account (HSA) that offers triple-tax advantages.

With this option, your annual deductible includes both medical and prescription drug expenses, and you pay all your medical and prescription drug costs in until you reach that amount (with the exception of preventive care and certain generic preventive medications). After you meet the annual deductible, the Saver HSA option pays 80% of your eligible expenses for care received in-network. If you reach the out-of-pocket maximum, the Health Plan will pay 100% of your medical and prescription drug costs.

To help offset the higher deductibles in the Saver HSA option, the Company will contribute $500 for Employee Only coverage or $1,000 for Employee + Dependents coverage to a Health Savings Account when you enroll in this option and open an account. See the “Health Savings Account (HSA)” section for details. The Company contribution will be paid in equal installments based on the number of pay periods you are a participant in the HSA. You must be a participant all 26 pay periods in order to receive the full Company contribution.

Employees who enroll in the Saver HSA are eligible to participate in a Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account. This account is limited to paying for eligible dental and vision expenses. As with the Flexible Spending Account, you can elect from $120 to $3,050 for your anticipated dental and/or vision expenses in 2023. Eligible expenses must be incurred by December 31, 2023 and claims must be submitted by March 15, 2024. You may carry over up to $610 into 2024. Once you have met your deductible, it can also be used for medical and prescription drug expenses. But first, make sure you let PayFlex know you met your deductible. You will receive a debit card, pre-loaded with the amount of your annual election. The same Flexible Spending Account expense deadlines apply.

Classic Option – Overview

The Classic option is a “pay up-front” option, with a higher monthly contribution in exchange for lower annual deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. This option also includes copays instead of coinsurance for certain services such as office visits and prescription drugs.

After the annual deductible is met, the Classic option pays 80% of eligible expenses for health care received in-network. With family coverage, until the family deductible is met, each covered family member must meet the individual deductible before coinsurance begins for his/her medical care. However, regardless of whether you have met your deductible, you will only be responsible for copays for in-network doctor visits. With the Classic option, prescription drugs have copays. Retail drugs are subject to a smaller, separate deductible before copays begin.

If you select the Classic option or waive coverage under the Health Plan, you are also eligible for a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA), wherein you can set aside pre-tax dollars from your pay to help cover your family’s health care expenses. See the “Health Care Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA)” section for details.

The Kaiser HMO is only available to members with a permanent residence within the Kaiser California service area (N. CA or S. CA). Contact the Marathon Benefits Service Center at 1-888-421-2199, Option 1, then Option 3 for more information.

Key Health Plan Option Features

The primary difference between the two options is how you pay for your health care expenses, so the Saver HSA and Classic options will have different premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket maximum limits. The following chart offers a side-by-side comparison of the Saver HSA and Classic options.

Comparing the Two Health Plan Options
Key Health Plan Option Features Classic Option
“Pay up-front”		 Saver HSA Option
“Pay as you go”
Premiums and Deductibles
  • Higher monthly premiums, but lower deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums.
  • With Family coverage, until the family deductible is met, each covered family member must meet the individual deductible before the Health Plan starts paying coinsurance
  • Lower monthly premiums, but higher deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums.
  • With Employee + Dependents* coverage, once any combination of covered family members reaches the annual deductible, the Health Plan starts paying coinsurance for all family members.
  • Qualifies as a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
Copays and Coinsurance Includes copays instead of coinsurance for office visits and prescription drugs. No copays; only coinsurance.
Prescription Drug Coverage
  • Separate deductibles for medical and retail prescription drugs.
  • Prescription drugs have copays (retail drugs are subject to a smaller, separate deductible that must be met before copays apply).
  • Annual deductible includes both medical and prescription drug expenses.
  • Certain generic preventive drugs covered at 100%. (The list of these drugs can be found here.)
  • You pay all your medical and prescription drug costs in full until you reach your deductible (with the exception of preventive care and certain generic preventive medications).
  • You pay 20% after deductible for retail and mail-order drugs.
  • Plan pays 100% for medical and prescription drug costs once you reach the out-of-pocket maximum.
Health Savings Account (HSA) Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and (NEW) Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account (LPFSA)
  • Eligible for a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), which allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars from your pay to help cover some of your family’s eligible health care expenses.
  • Offers a portable Health Savings Account (HSA) that includes triple-tax advantages. Company contributes $500 for Employee Only coverage or $1,000 for Employee + Dependents coverage*.
  • Eligible for a Limited Purpose FSA that is limited to paying for eligible dental and vision expenses with pre-tax dollars.
Out-of-Pocket Maximums Both Health Plan options have in-network out-of-pocket maximums. So whichever option you choose, the most you’ll pay for covered in-network medical (including prescription drug) expenses out of your own pocket in a calendar year is the out-of-pocket maximum for your selected Health Plan option. With Family coverage, until the family out-of-pocket maximum is met, each covered family member must meet the individual out-of-pocket maximum for the Plan to begin paying at 100% for that individual.

*Employee + Dependents covers Employee + Spouse/Domestic Partner, Employee + Child(ren) and Employee + Family. The Company Contribution is prorated based on the number of pay periods you are a participant in the HSA.

Health Plan Information for Retirees

Retirees under age 65 are eligible for the same Health Plan options as MPC active employees. Monthly contributions depend on your accrued percentage of the Company subsidy, based on your years of service.

Retirees age 65 and over can receive an annual Company subsidy toward the cost of individual Medicare-related plans available through Towers Watson’s Via Benefits. If you’re eligible for the subsidy, you will receive an enrollment guide from Via Benefits similar to the sample below.

* OneExchange has changed their name to Via Benefits. They still provide the same services to our post-65 retirees and their dependents.
