TIP: Think About the Whole Cost
When choosing a medical plan, it’s important to think about the whole cost of coverage — the amount you’ll spend out of your paycheck, as well as out of your pocket (copays, deductibles, and coinsurance). Consider these tips to save on health care costs.

If you don't enroll within 31 days of your date of hire, you won't have coverage through Sonos and you won't have the opportunity to enroll until the next Open Enrollment period in the fall.
If you don't enroll within 31 days of your qualifying life event, your current benefits will roll over and you won't have the opportunity to enroll until the next Open Enrollment period in the fall. - How are the medical plans different?
The key differences between the plans are how much you pay in paycheck premiums and how you pay for services throughout the year. Consider how you prefer to handle costs. For instance, would you rather pay extra from your paycheck for a medical plan that covers more of your costs when you need care, or pay as little as possible from your paycheck — even if that means bigger bills when you need care? Compare the plans here. You can also use the Medical Plan Cost Estimator to compare what you’ll pay under each medical plan option for different health care usage scenarios. Consider these tips to help you save on health care costs throughout the year. - What’s the difference between the Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and the Health Savings Account (HSA)?
The way the Health Care FSA and the HSA work is largely the same — you contribute to your account through automatic, pre-tax payroll deductions, then use the money to pay for eligible health care expenses. However, there are some important differences.
- An HSA is only available with the CDHP plan. All the money in your HSA rolls over year after year and is yours to keep.
- A Health Care FSA can be used with the PPO or HMO plans to set aside pre-tax money to pay for eligible health care expenses. A Limited Purpose FSA is available for employees enrolled in the CDHP with an HSA and can be used for eligible dental and vision expenses. If you don't use all your funds in your Health Care FSA or Limited Purpose FSA by December 31, you can roll over up to $610 to the next year, and any remaining balance over $610 will be forfeited. Please note: In order to receive your $610 rollover balance, you must enroll in your FSA each year during Open Enrollment. If you don't enroll, you will forfeit your $610 rollover balance for the next year.
