What you need to know
Whether you enroll in the Health Savings Plan or the Total Health PPO Plan, Sandia will add money to your health savings account (HSA) or health reimbursement account (HRA) when you complete your health assessment, complete a Health Action Plan, and participate in healthy activities through Virgin Pulse. You can use this money to cover out-of-pocket healthcare expenses.
Funding and Incentives
Sandia’s contribution to your HSA (if you choose the Health Savings Plan) or HRA (if you choose the Total Health PPO Plan) — based on the activities you’ve completed through 2024 — will be deposited into your account in January 2025.
To earn the maximum funding, you need to:
- Complete your health assessment (your spouse, too, if enrolled in Sandia’s medical plan). The deadline is Dec. 1 to receive funding for the next calendar year.
- Complete a Health Action Plan. The deadline to enroll is Sept. 30 to receive funding for the next calendar year.
- Participate in Virgin Pulse activities each quarter (your spouse, too, if enrolled in Sandia’s medical plan). Quarterly deadlines to earn points to receive funding for next calendar year: March 31, June 30, Sept. 30, and Dec. 31.
