  • Employees enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) receive a one-time $600 deposit to their Optum health savings account (HSA) in January.
  • Employees enrolled in a DHMO or HMO receive a $25 health insurance premium reduction in the first two pay periods of each month, for a total of a $600 annual discount.
