Oxford has arranged for members to open their Health Savings Accounts with OptumHealthBank. Click here to go to www.OptumHealthBank.com and open your HSA today!

Or, consider the most popular plan among City Bar members — the Freedom Plan Metro^SM, designed to reduce health insurance expenses for you, your dependents and your employees without having to sacrifice your choice of physicians. With the Freedom Plan Metro, you have access to Oxford’s extensive network of over 65,000 physicians. However, you pay for more of your care as you receive it, through higher co-payments rather than through higher premiums, regardless of whether or not you use medical services.

Oxford also offers their traditional Point-of-Service programs that differ by deductible. All three plans cover most in-network benefits either with no charge or with a small copayment. Out-of-network benefits are covered subject to deductibles and coinsurance. In addition, you pay the difference between the provider's charges and Oxford's usual, customary and reasonable allowances.

Premiums for all options are based on the New York borough or county your firm is located in.

TERM LIFE

City Bar members may apply for a new life insurance program underwritten by Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company. Members are able to choose among a traditional term life program with some exciting new enhancements or a 10, 15 or 20 year term policy which helps lock in lower rates.

Under the new group program, members and their spouses, (under age 60,) may apply for up to $1,000,000. A new Ability Plus Benefit is included that pays $1,000 per month for up to 24 months provided the cognitive impairment or inability to perform two or more ADLs has lasted for at least 30 consecutive days.

Members may also choose from among 10, 15 or 20 year term life policies that will let you lock in your rate based on your age at time of application.

• Depreciation and other fixed overhead expenses necessary to the normal operation of your office
