If you work in the City of San Francisco, your employer may be required to spend a minimum amount of money per hour on health care for you.  This requirement is mandated by a law called the Health Care Security Ordinance (HCSO).

To comply with this law, your employer has several options available.  One option is to make payments to the City on your behalf.   

If you are an employee who lives in San Francisco and you meet all program eligibility requirements, these employer payments may result in a 75% discount for you on the Healthy San Francisco program fee.

If you are an employee who does not live in San Francisco or if you don’t meet other program eligibility requirements, the employer payment is applied toward an individual Medical Reimbursement Account that can be used to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses.
