BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That section 124.824 of the Revised Code be | 6 |
enacted to read as follows: | 7 |
Sec. 124.824. The department of administrative services | 8 |
shall establish a high deductible health care plan as part of any | 9 |
package of health care benefit options offered to state employees | 10 |
and state elected officials who are paid by warrant of the | 11 |
director of budget and management. The department shall make both | 12 |
individual and family coverage available through the high | 13 |
deductible health care plan. The high deductible health care plan | 14 |
shall not increase the cost of providing health insurance to state | 15 |
employees and state elected officials. | 16 |
The amount of the premium or cost for coverage under the high | 17 |
deductible health care plan contributed by the state, for an | 18 |
individual or for an individual and the individual's family, shall | 19 |
not exceed the amount of the premium or cost contributed by the | 20 |
state for a standard deductible health care plan created under | 21 |
division (A) of section 124.82 of the Revised Code. | 22 |
An individual who has selected a high deductible health care | 23 |
plan option shall establish a health savings account that | 24 |
qualifies under section 223 of the Internal Revenue Code. The | 25 |
state shall monthly deposit cash into the individual's health | 26 |
savings account. The amount so deposited shall be based on the | 27 |
amount of the premium or cost that would be contributed by the | 28 |
state for individual or family coverage. The amount deposited | 29 |
shall equal eighty per cent of the difference between (1) the | 30 |
amount that would be contributed by the state for a standard | 31 |
deductible health care plan created under division (A) of section | 32 |
124.82 of the Revised code and (2) the amount contributed by the | 33 |
