Plan Definitions
Deductible
The amount you owe for health care services before your medical plan begins to
pay. For example, if your deductible is $350, your plan won't pay anything except for
preventive services until you've met your $350 deductible for covered health care
services subject to the deductible. The deductible may not apply to all services.
Co-insurance
Your share of the costs of a covered health care service, calculated as a percent
(for example, 20%) of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if the
health insurance or plan's allowed amount for an office visit is $100 and you've met
your deductible, your co-insurance payment of 20% would be $20. The health
insurance or plan pays the rest of the allowed amount.
Out-of-Pocket
The most you pay during a policy period before your health insurance or plan
begins to pay 100% of the allowed amount. This limit never includes your premium,
balance-billed charges or health care your health insurance or plan doesn't cover.

Your Plan’s Drug Coverage
Your plan covers a broad range of medications that fall into three categories:
•
Generic medications (Tier I)
May cost you less than plan-preferred and non-preferred medications.
•
Formulary brand-name medications (Tier 2)
A broad list of brand-name drugs. Drugs on this list may cost you less than
non-formulary brand-name medications.
•
Non-formulary brand-name medications (Tier 3)
Brand-name drugs that are not included on the plan-preferred list. You may pay the
most toward the cost of these drugs.
Your plan encourages you to choose generics and formulary brand-name medications. Unless your physician
specifically prescribes a brand-name medication without substitution, prescriptions will be filled with the generic
equivalent when allowed by state law.
If you or your physician requests the brand-name prescription drug when a generic prescription drug is available and
there is no medical reason for the brand-name prescription drug, you pay the generic drug copayment for the drug in
addition to the difference between the brand-name prescription drug and generic prescription drug gross cost.
Please note, that some drugs may not be covered under your prescription benefit when there are similar safe and
effective alternatives.

High Deductible Plans (HDHP) Options
($1,500 and $2,850):
•
The HDHP health plan is your combined medical and prescription drug benefit. You may
make pre-tax contributions to your HSA and use all the funds in your HSA to help pay for
medical and prescription drug expenses.
•
You pay 100% of your medical and prescription drug expenses until you meet your
annual deductible.
•
Once you have met your deductible, you pay the copayment / coinsurance amounts until
you reach your out-of-pocket maximum.
•
Once you have reached your out-of-pocket maximum, including your deductible, your
plan pays 100% of eligible medical and prescription drug expenses for the remainder of
the benefit year.
•
The Plan will bypass your deductible on certain preventive drugs. Preventive drug
expenses are not subject to a deductible but you will still be responsible for the
copayment / coinsurance. To find out if your medication is considered preventive – price
your medication on express-scripts.com.
•
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) certain medications will be covered at 100% and
are not subject to deductible or copayment. Please note that over the counter (OTC)
drugs under ACA require a prescription to be covered at 100%.

Information You Need to Know About Your Plan’s
Prescription Drug Coverage
•
Your plan covers a broad range of medications. You may be subject to several different
types of drug management programs. These include quantity management, prior
authorization and qualification by history or step therapy.
•
Some medications may not be covered by your plan unless you receive approval
through a coverage review (prior authorization).
•
This review helps ensure a particular drug is being prescribed appropriately and in
accordance with your plan’s coverage.
•
The review uses plan rules that are based on FDA-approved prescribing and safety
information, clinical guidelines, and uses that are considered reasonable, safe, and
effective.
•
Some covered medications may also have limits (for example, only for a certain
amount or for certain uses) unless you receive approval through a review.
•
As new drugs become available or new indications are approved for already available
