Health Savings Account (HSA)
An HSA is an interest-earning, tax-advantaged account. It’s a valuable financial tool that helps you make the most of the dollars you spend on current and future health care expenses for yourself or your tax dependents. For more detailed plan information visit the MaineHealth Benefits Portal or Health Equity.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
FSAs allow you to pay certain out-of-pocket health care, dependent care and transit expenses with pre-tax dollars. You can use the money you contribute to your FSA to pay for certain expenses that are not fully covered by your health, dental or vision plans. For more detailed plan information visit the MaineHealth Benefits Portal or Benefit Strategies.
Dependent Eligibility Audit
MaineHealth conducts an eligibility audit of all employees with new dependents enrolled in benefit plans. The Dependent Verification Center will mail a packet to your home with specific details on the required documentation. More information can be found on the MaineHealth Benefits Portal.
Leave of Absence/Disability Coverage
If you cannot work due to your own injury or illness, MaineHealth provides short-term disability (STD) and long-term disability (LTD) coverage.

The Federal Transparency in Coverage Final Rule requires that health insurers and self-funded health benefit plans must post machine-readable files (MRFs) on a public website. Use this link to access these MRFs, which include:
- Negotiated service rates
- Out-of-network allowed amounts between health plans and health care providers
These files will permit the public access to health plan payment information to help understand pricing and costs for health care services. Some of these files are very large and may several minutes to download.
