Health Saving Account # 2 What are Qualified Medical Expenses?

You generally pay medical expenses during the year without being reimbursed by your High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) until you reach the annual deductible for the plan.  When you pay medical expenses during the year that are not reimbursed by your HDHP (deductibles, coinsurance, etc.), you can ask the trustee of your HSA to send you a distribution from your account.  The flyer can be downloaded here.

Health Saving Account #1 Who is Eligible?

HSA have been around for a few years, but you may not be familiar with the intricacies of this benefit.  We will have a series of communication which is meant to help you be more informed as you make your decision for 2010.  In particular, this e-mail communicates the benefits of an HSA and eligibility guidelines for HSA participation.  The flyer can be downloaded here

MTech Announces New H.S.A. Benefit Option for 2010

It’s no secret that healthcare reform and costs are a hot topic these days and could affect medical offerings in the years to come.  It's also no secret that healthcare is getting less affordable every day and continues to escalate.  The growth trend in medical costs for 2010 is expected to be between 9 and 10 percent.  The increasing cost and current political climate leave most companies with unique challenges for their 2010 healthcare benefits strategies amid a deflated general economy.

MTech Helping Haiti

As we watched the devastation in Haiti, the MTech Community Service Committee knew that there had to be a way we could help.  We began collecting first aid items for Project Cure, but soon found out one of our own employees has family ties in Haiti.  The Aunt and Uncle of Rick Williams, a service technician, have lived there since 1979.  They run a church and school which are now being used as a triage center.  We were able to collect money that will help purchase fuel which will be used to keep generators running during their recovery phase.  To find out more about the school, click here, or to donate, please see Aimee Milligan in our Service department for contact information.
