Welcome to Your

2014 Benefits!

As the U.S. continues its journey toward wide-sweeping changes in health care, we remain committed to providing our associates with comprehensive, affordable benefit options. However, between healthcare reform compliance, increasing health care trends and the health concerns of our population, we are faced with a balancing act to keep our plans competitive and affordable. As in the past couple of years, the company is addressing medical plan changes required by healthcare reform that are positive in nature, but lead to a direct increase in our medical costs. For example, our medical plans will no longer contain pre-existing condition limitations, and all deductibles and copays will now apply to the annual Out-of-Pocket Maximum. We all benefit from these plan enhancements, but that also means we share in the responsibility of using our benefits wisely. With that in mind, we will continue to offer a choice of medical plans: the Preferred Plan and the Premium Buy-Up Plan. Given the rising costs of medical coverage, we will be increasing the deductibles and Out-of-Pocket maximums for 2014. We are pleased to announce that the per paycheck contributions for the Preferred plan will be decreasing for the employee-only tier and increasing only slightly for family tiers. The per paycheck premiums for the Premium Buy-Up plan will also be increasing so please be thoughtful when making your medical plan election decision. As we introduced last year, associates will be automatically enrolled in the Preferred Plan for 2014. You may still choose to buy-up to the Premium Buy-Up plan, but we stress the importance of evaluating your out of paycheck cost vs. the out of pocket cost for medical care to ensure you are making a wise financial decision. We will also be introducing a working spouse premium surcharge which is explained in more detail on page 2.

Understanding that choice is important beyond the medical plan, we are making significant changes to our dental plan. To offer our associates the best benefits at the most competitive costs, we will be partnering with Ameritas as our dental provider effective 1/1/14. We have also redesigned the benefit options, offering you more choices that better reflect the needs of our associates. You will still have access to plans that cover all dental services; however, we will also be offering a “Core” dental plan that covers preventive and basic restorative dental care only at a much lower premium. Given that 95% of all dental services fall within those two categories, we believe that this will be of great value to our associates.

Benefits are an important part of your total compensation, so please review your options carefully. We will have Benefit Counselors onsite during Annual Enrollment to answer your questions and assist you in the enrollment process. Look for posters in your facility detailing more information about Annual Enrollment and one-on-one counselor meetings.

Eligibility

EligiblE AssociAtEs

All regular associates are eligible for coverage. For benefit plan purposes, “regular associates” are defined as:

• Full-time associates working 32–40 hours per week, or • Part-time associates working 20–31 hours per week. Regular associates are eligible after one month of active employment. Associates changing from a part-time to full-time position are eligible for coverage, subject to each location’s benefit eligibility guidelines and waiting period.

EligiblE DEpEnDEnts

As a regular associate, you may elect certain coverage options for your eligible dependents. Eligible dependents include:

• Your legal spouse;

• Your dependent child or stepchild up to age 26;

• Any child placed with you for adoption or for whom you have legal guardianship;

• Any unmarried, disabled child of any age who resides with you and who was medically certified as disabled prior to his/her 26th birthday and who is primarily dependent upon you for support;

• Any child under 26 years of age (including natural children, stepchildren, legally adopted children, and children placed with you for adoption) for whom health care coverage is required through a Qualified medical Child Support Order (QmCSO) or other court or administrative order – even if the child does not reside with you.

Health management reserves the right to require

documentation confirming dependent eligibility, including marriage and birth certificates, tax returns, court orders, and other legal documents.

EnrollmEnt WinDoW

New enrollments and benefit changes must be completed within 30 days of the date of employment or date of transfer to a benefit eligible position. Once your enrollment is complete, no changes are allowed until the next annual enrollment period (unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event).

QuAlifying lifE EvEnts

Other than during the annual enrollment period, you may only change your benefit elections and covered dependents within 30 days following a Qualifying Life Event.

QualifyinG life events include:

• Birth or adoption of a child by the associate or spouse; • marriage, legal separation, annulment, or divorce of the

associate;

• Death of the associate’s spouse and/or dependent; • Dependent’s loss of eligibility (see definition of Eligible

Dependents);

• termination or commencement of employment of associate’s spouse or dependent with health care coverage;

• Associate or spouse’s eligibility for medicare benefits; and

• Such other events as the plan administrator determines to be permitted under iRS Section 125 or any other applicable guidelines issued by the internal Revenue Service.

Dependents who are added as a result of a Qualifying Life Event are covered the day of the event, provided that enrollment for the dependent is requested within 30 days from the date of the event.

to make a change to your benefits, please call the

Employee Benefit Resource Center at 866.770.6520 within 30 days of the Qualifying Life Event.

Did you know?

As in the past, Health

Management continues to pay

more than 80% of your health

insurance premium.

Reminder for 2014 – Medical Plan Enrollment

If you do not participate in the enrollment process or do not waive medical coverage,

you will be automatically enrolled in the Preferred Plan for 2014. You will have the

option to buy-up to the Premium Buy-Up plan, but you must actively select that benefit

option during the enrollment process.

Be sure to take advantage of the

non-tobacco user premium discount!

non-tobAcco usEr prEmium Discount

introduced last year, Health management will continue to offer a $50 per month non-tobacco user premium discount in 2014. You have two ways to qualify for the premium discount:

1. At the time of Annual Enrollment, complete a Non-tobacco user Affidavit, stating that you have been tobacco-free for at least 6 months.

2. if you are currently a tobacco user, you can still qualify for the discount – simply enroll in the BCBS tobacco cessation program and complete 5 phone counseling sessions. As long as the program is completed by June 30, 2014, you will be refunded the full amount of non-discount dollars back to January 1, 2014, and you will receive the $50 discount each month going forward.

Working spousE Eligibility rulE

As we’ve communicated in the past, health care costs are rising each year and, in a continued effort to offer our associates benefit packages that are meaningful and affordable, we are introducing a Working Spouse provision to our medical plans in 2014.

to encourage associates to carefully consider their enrollment options, those with spouses who have access to their own employer-sponsored medical coverage will pay an additional $50 monthly fee to continue to cover their spouse under Health management’s medical plan. At the time of Annual Enrollment, if you enroll your spouse for medical coverage, you will be asked to confirm your spouse’s eligibility for other group medical coverage to determine if you will be subject to the $50 monthly fee to continue to cover your spouse in 2014.

non-HEAltH mAnAgEmEnt fAcility usE

Within our benefit plan, you receive a higher level of benefits if you use a Health management facility. Services are covered at 100% less minimal copays. if you choose to receive services at a non-Health management facility and those services are available at a Health management facility, the charges will not be covered and you will be responsible for 100% of the charges. However, if the service is not available at a Health management facility, the charges will be covered at the applicable in or Out of Network benefit level. to receive this benefit, you will need to submit a Service Not Available form (available in your local HR department) for approval.

there are some services like emergency room care and outpatient services under $500 that do not require a Service Not Available form. For a complete list, please see your local HR representatives.

Keep in mind that additional rules apply to services performed at non-Health Management facilities when those services are available at a Health Management facility.

Medical

Did you know? The mail order pharmacy

program can save you money on

maintenance medications!

prEscription Drug plAn

Prescription medications are categorized into three tiers. the type of medication you choose impacts how much you will pay out of pocket.

1. Generic drugs cost the least, yet they meet the same effectiveness and safety standards of brand name drugs. 2. Preferred brand name drugs are drugs that are on the

CVS Caremark preferred drug list.

3. non-preferred brand name drugs include medications that have equally effective and less costly generic equivalents and/or preferred brand alternatives. this category may include new drugs that do not yet have generic equivalents.

Prior autHorization and steP tHeraPy

to ensure that members receive the most appropriate and cost-effective drug therapy, our plans require that additional steps be taken before certain drugs are covered:

• Prior authorization: Certain clinical criteria must be met before some drugs are covered. Your doctor should call the CVS/Caremark pharmacy help desk to request prior authorization before prescribing a certain drug.

• step therapy: Requires members to try a lower cost prescription before moving to a higher cost brand drug. Your physician can authorize a brand name drug if there is a clinical reason that prevents you from taking the alternative therapy.

WalMart netWorK for non-Maintenance PrescriPtion discounts

We have a partnership with Walmart to provide pharmacy discounts to our associates. Please note that the discount applies to non-maintenance medications only. After two (2) 30-day fills at retail, maintenance medications must still be filled through mail Order whether purchased at Walmart or another pharmacy. See page 4 for discounted copay amounts.

fill liMit for lonG-terM Maintenance Medications

Your plan allows two 30-day fills of long-term medications1

at any pharmacy in the CVS Caremark network. After that, your plan will cover long-term medications only if you have 90-day supplies filled through the mail order service or at a CVS pharmacy.

this program is designed to help you avoid paying more out of pocket for your long-term medications. if you continue to have 30-day supplies filled, your plan will not pay for them. in order to have your prescriptions covered, all you need to do is have 90-day supplies filled through the mail order service or at a CVS pharmacy. Whether you choose mail order delivery or pick-up at a CVS pharmacy, you will pay the same copay.2

sPecialty Medications

CVS Caremark requires the use of the Specialty Pharmacy for specialized medicines and supplies. the Specialty Pharmacy offers personalized support services for

individuals suffering from certain chronic illnesses or genetic disorders. if you use specialty medications, you can receive express delivery, follow-up care calls, and expert counseling. to contact the CVS Caremark Specialty Pharmacy, call 800.237.2767.

1A term medication is taken regularly for chronic conditions or

long-term therapy.

2Copay, copayment or coinsurance means the amount a plan participant is

required to pay for a prescription in accordance with a Plan. Prices may vary between mail service and CVS pharmacies due to dispensing factors, such as applicable local taxes.

remember, with the Maintenance Medication Program and the reduced copay for the 90-day supply, you can save up to $200 a year!

Flexible Spending Accounts

Even if you use your debit card,

save your receipts! The FSA plan

is a pre-tax benefit and regulated

by the IRS. The IRS requires that all

reimbursed expenses be verified

so you may be required to submit

the receipts to the FSA vendor

as confirmation the expenses are

eligible.

HEAltHcArE fsA

Your entire annual contribution (maximum of $2,500) is available immediately at the beginning of the plan year (January 1) to pay for eligible healthcare expenses. However, your total FSA election amount is deducted from your paycheck in equal amounts during the plan year, January 1 through December 31, 2014.

if you elect a healthcare FSA for the 2014 plan year, you will have a 75-day grace period (until march 15, 2015) in which you can continue to spend dollars left in your account at the close of the 2014 plan year. You will then have 15 days (until march 30, 2015) to submit claims against the funds left in your account. Any funds remaining in an FSA after the claims submission deadline are forfeited; this is known as the “use-it-or-Lose-it Rule.”

eliGiBle exPenses

FSAs and eligible expenses are regulated by the iRS. Some examples of eligible healthcare expenses include:

• Office copays; • Prescription drugs;

• Dental expenses, including child orthodontia and medically-necessary adult orthodontia. Date of service must be within the plan year to receive reimbursement. if you are terminated, the date of service must have occurred while you were actually employed;

• Vision care expenses, including laser eye surgery; • Chiropractic services;

• Acupuncture;

• Over-the-counter healthcare products (must be accompanied by a doctor’s prescription).

HealtHcare fsa deBit card

if you enroll in a healthcare FSA, you will receive a debit card that you may use to pay for eligible expenses. the debit card helps you avoid paying expenses out of your pocket and waiting for reimbursement. Please keep receipts or other records of your FSA debit card purchases, as the iRS requires documentation to prove the expense was for an approved healthcare purchase.

suBMittinG PaPer claiMs

if you would rather submit paper claims forms instead of using the Debit Card (or your dependent care facility doesn’t accept debit cards), go online to www.outsourceone.com and click on “Employees & Participants” to download the necessary forms. Paper claims can be faxed to 877.491.6016 or scanned and emailed to flex@outsourceone.com.

if you have general FSA questions, you can call customer service at 855.828.3954.

accessinG your account

use the following information to log-on and check your account balance or review FSA activity:

1. Visit www.benefitspaymentsystem.com and click “Participant Login.”

2. Enter your user iD (your social security number).

3. Enter your Password (either our Employer iD – OSOHmA – or your 16-digit debit card number).

DEpEnDEnt cArE fsA

unlike the Healthcare FSA, the Dependent Care FSA is not loaded with the full election amount on the first day of the plan year. instead, the funds become available as they are collected from each paycheck. You can only spend funds that are currently available in your account.

• Current tax laws allow you to set aside up to $5,000 annually to pay for employment-related child daycare or adult dependent care. Please keep this in mind as you consider your plan year FSA election.

• Dependent care expenses are reimbursed based on the availability of funds in your account.

A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a benefit that allows you to designate pre-tax dollars at the beginning of the plan year to pay for eligible out-of-pocket healthcare and dependent care expenses. The money you set aside reduces your taxable income, which can save you money at tax season. You can participate in an FSA even if you are not enrolled in a medical plan. The FSA plans are administered by CieloStar.

DisAbility insurAncE

Disability plans provide you with financial protection if you have to miss work due to a non-occupational disability. Benefits from a disability plan will supplement your income to help you pay for your day-to-day household expenses, as well as co-payments and other medical costs not covered under other plans.

sHort terM disaBility Plan (std)*

Amount of Coverage

Eligible associates that elect StD coverage have a weekly benefit of 60% of salary up to $1,000, subject to plan requirements.

Maximum Benefit Period

Benefits begin on the 22nd day of disability resulting from an accident, sickness, or pregnancy. Benefit payments could continue for up to 23 weeks.

voluntary lonG terM disaBility Plan (ltd)*

Long Term Disability (LTD) is now voluntary.

As of July 1, 2013, Long term Disability is a voluntary, associate-paid benefit. We offer two plans so that as with our other benefits, you can choose the option that best suits your needs.

Eligible associates that elect the LtD plan can receive a monthly benefit designed to replace income lost during periods of disability greater than 180 days.

Amount of Coverage

the LtD benefit option will pay either 50% or 60% of monthly earnings to a maximum benefit of $10,000 per month. if disabled prior to age 60, benefits are payable to age 65. if disabled at age 60 or older, benefits are payable subject to a reduction schedule defined by the plan.

bAsic tErm lifE/AcciDEntAl DEAtH &

DismEmbErmEnt (AD&D) insurAncE

to ensure that all eligible associates have some level of financial protection, Health management provides employer-paid Basic term Life and AD&D insurance to full-time associates. Both policies are provided at no cost to you. You are automatically enrolled in Basic term Life and AD&D insurance when you become eligible for coverage.

Basic terM life

the Basic term Life plan provides non-exempt associates with a policy equal to 1 times annual salary and 2 times annual salary for exempt associates, up to a maximum of $750,000. “Salary” excludes overtime, shift differential, bonuses, etc. and is rounded to the next higher $1,000.

ad&d

AD&D insurance pays a benefit in addition to the Basic term Life insurance if the death or covered loss is due to an accident. the AD&D policy amount is equal to that of the Basic term Life policy provided by Health management.

aGe reduction scHedule for Basic terM life and ad&d

Benefits are reduced to 65% at age 65 and to 60% at age 70. Coverage ends once you terminate employment.

* Note: Evidence of Insurability (EOI)

must be provided for associates

currently enrolled in the 50% LTD plan

who elect the 60% option, as well as

for late entrants. EOI requires carrier

approval. A ‘late entrant’ is someone

who did not enroll when first eligible for

coverage.

Additional Life Insurance Options

Note: Evidence of Insurability (EOI) may be

required for late entrants and requires carrier

approval. A ‘late entrant’ is someone who did not

enroll when first eligible for coverage. Children

under age 19 are not subject to EOI.

AssociAtE optionAl lifE insurAncE

Even if you already have a life insurance policy outside of your benefit plan, it’s important to ask yourself whether it provides the protection you need to cover all of your financial responsibilities in the event of your passing. Optional Life can be purchased in addition to the Basic term Life insurance that is provided by Health management.

Associate Optional Life insurance is yearly renewable group term life insurance that covers you for as long as you remain eligible and continue to pay your premium. Coverage is portable, so you can take it with you if you leave the company, although the premiums may change.

aMount of coveraGe

You may purchase coverage in the amount of 2 times your annual salary, rounded up to the nearest $1,000.

total life insurance coverage (Basic term + Optional Life amount) cannot exceed $750,000. Coverage ends once you terminate employment unless you choose to port the coverage, at your cost.

DEpEnDEnt lifE insurAncE

Dependent Life insurance is a group term life insurance policy that can be purchased for your spouse and children. the dependent life insurance rate is not affected by the number of dependents you want to cover. One rate covers all of your dependent children and your spouse. Newly elected coverage for totally disabled dependents will be delayed until the first of the month following the date the dependent is no longer totally disabled.

WHolE lifE insurAncE

With Whole Life insurance, you own the policy, which means you can keep it even if you leave the company. it is sometimes referred to as “permanent life insurance” because it can provide protection for your lifetime. Whole Life insurance policies can provide protection for both working years and post-retirement, while building cash value to use as a living benefit. under this plan, which is available through unum, you can select the amount of individual coverage that you would like to have for yourself, your spouse, your children, and/or your grandchildren. individual policies are available for you and your spouse up to age 80, and for children from 14 days to 26 years old. You can apply for coverage by completing a simple application with a Benefit Counselor.

tEn yEAr tErm lifE insurAncE

Life insurance comes in a variety of forms. Depending on where you are in life, you may need different amounts and durations of coverage. term insurance is the least expensive form of life insurance. it’s commonly called “temporary insurance” because term life is not designed to last

forever. ten Year term is the most popular form of term life insurance policy because it is very inexpensive even at large face amounts and is relatively easy to obtain.

ten Year term Life guarantees you a fixed premium for 10 years, based on your age at time of purchase. this fixed premium renews after 10 years of coverage and is recalculated based on your age at the time of renewal.

While life insurance can seem like a complex and even unsettling subject, it is actually a wonderfully useful and flexible estate-planning tool that can provide tax-free security for your loved ones. Health Management offers various life insurance options, which are conveniently funded through payroll deductions. If you are unsure which options are right for you, a Benefit Counselor will be able to provide you with guidance.

if you are eligible for health coverage from your employer, but are unable to afford the premiums, some States have premium assistance programs that can help pay for coverage. these States use funds from their medicaid or CHiP programs to help people who are eligible for employer-sponsored health coverage, but need assistance in paying their health premiums.

if you or your dependents are already enrolled in medicaid or CHiP, you can contact your State medicaid or CHiP office to find out if premium assistance is available.

if you or your dependents are NOt currently enrolled in medicaid or CHiP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, you can contact your State medicaid or CHiP office or dial 1.877.KiDS NOW or www. insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. if you qualify, you can ask the State if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan.

Once it is determined that you or your dependents are eligible for premium

assistance under medicaid or CHiP, your employer’s health plan is required to permit you and your dependents to enroll in the plan – as long as you and your dependents are eligible, but not already enrolled in the employer’s plan. this is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance.

in some states, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. You should contact your State for further information on eligibility. For more information on special enrollment rights, you can contact either:

the Continuation Required by Federal Law does not apply to any benefits for loss of life, dismemberment or loss of income. Federal law enables you or your dependent to continue health insurance if coverage would cease due

to a reduction of your work hours or your termination of employment (other than for gross misconduct). Federal law also enables your dependents to continue health insurance if their coverage ceases due to your death, divorce or legal separation, or with respect to a dependent child, failure to continue to qualify as a dependent. Continuation must be elected in accordance with the rules of your employer’s group health plan(s) and is subject to federal law, regulations and interpretations.

medicare, you may decide to enroll in a medicare prescription drug plan later and not be subject to a late enrollment penalty – as long as you had creditable coverage within 63 days of your medicare prescription drug plan enrollment. You should keep this notice with your important records.

notice of creditaBle coveraGe

You may have heard about medicare’s prescription drug coverage (called Part D), and wondered how it would affect you. Prescription drug coverage is available to everyone with medicare through medicare prescription drug plans. All medicare prescription drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by medicare. Some plans also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium.

individuals can enroll in a medicare prescription drug plan when they first become eligible, and each year from November 15 through December 31. individuals leaving employer coverage may be eligible for a medicare special enrollment period.

if you are covered by any of the medical prescription drug plans offered by Health management, you’ll be interested to know that coverage is, on average, at least as good as or better than the standard medicare prescription drug coverage for 2014. this is called creditable coverage. Coverage under these plans will help you avoid a late Part D enrollment penalty if you are or become eligible for medicare and later decide to enroll in a medicare prescription drug plan. if you decide to enroll in a medicare prescription drug plan and you are an active associate or family member of an active associate, you may also continue your employer coverage. in this case, the employer plan will continue to pay primary or secondary as it had before you enrolled in a medicare prescription drug plan. if you waive or drop the Health management coverage, medicare will be your only payer. You can re-enroll in the employer plan at annual enrollment or if you have a

special enrollment event.

You should know that if you waive or leave coverage with Health management and you go 63 days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage (once your applicable medicare enrollment period ends), your monthly Part D premium will go up at least 1% per month for every month that you did not have creditable coverage. For example, if you go 19 months without coverage, your medicare prescription drug plan premium will always be at least 19% higher than what most other people pay. You’ll have to pay this higher premium as long as you have medicare prescription drug coverage. in

addition, you may have to wait until the following November to enroll in Part D. You may receive this notice on

future occasions such as your next opportunity to enroll in medicare prescription drug coverage, a change in Health management’s prescription drug coverage, or upon your request.
