1. Q: What do my employees receive if I contribute to the SF City Option program on their behalf?

Your employees will be offered a SF Medical Reimbursement Account (SF MRA):
SF Medical Reimbursement Accounts (SF MRA) – The employer’s contribution is deposited in an irrevocable reimbursement account after the employee completes the SF MRA Enrollment Form.

A: Yes. A Covered Employer that satisfies its obligation to make the Required Health Care Expenditures by making payment to SF City Option must provide its Covered Employees with a Health Care Payment Confirmation notice. It is recommended that a Covered Employer display a SF City Option poster to increase Covered Employee awareness of the benefit. These materials are available in English, Chinese, Spanish, and Tagalog on the SF City Option website.
