Benefits Open Enrollment will be from Oct. 28, 2013 through Nov. 8, 2013, with elections effective Jan. 1, 2014. This is the one time each year when you can make changes to your medical, dental, vision and flexible spending account elections without experiencing a quali-fying change in status such as marriage, divorce, or the birth/adoption of a child.

There will be a number of important changes to SAS’ benefits in 2014 including:

• Enhanced dental and vision coverage. • Flexibility in coverage elections. • Moderate changes to the medical plan.

This booklet provides a comprehensive overview of SAS’ benefit changes which will take effect in January 2014. This booklet also contains detailed information intended to help employees better understand the many complexities of health care reform and their impact, both immediate and long-term, to SAS’ benefit plans. Details of the changes are outlined in the 2014 Highlights and Changes section of this booklet. Please review the information to understand the changes and how they affect your health care benefits and premiums.

If you do not actively enroll or make changes during Open Enrollment, your current benefit elections will carry forward to 2014 with the following exceptions:

• Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) – If you wish to participate in a Health Care and/or Dependent Care FSA for 2014, you must actively enroll or re-enroll during Open Enrollment. FSA elections from 2013 will not carry over to the 2014 plan year.

• Working Spouse/Domestic Partner Premium – If you currently waive the $100 monthly Working Spouse/Domestic Partner Premium and are eligible to continue waiving the premium for the 2014 plan year, you must submit a new waiver during Open Enrollment. Information about the premium can be found on the Benefits Open Enrollment website at sww.sas.com/hrweb/ OpenEnrollment.jsp. You can complete the waiver online while making your Open Enrollment selections through Workday. If you do not have access to a computer, contact the Benefits Department at 919-531-9090 to request a paper waiver form.

2014 Open Enrollment Overview

SAS’ Total Rewards program is how we invest in our employees. We offer a multidimensional Total Rewards package where employees share in the company’s financial and operational successes. Similar to the SAS philosophy of treating our employees holistically, our Total Rewards program takes a comprehensive approach by providing both valuable monetary and non-monetary rewards.

An important element of SAS’ Total Rewards is the heavily subsidized comprehensive and competitive health care benefits provided to you and your family. SAS will continue to be vigilant in our efforts to bal-ance costs while maintaining the comprehensive benefit offerings that

Starting in 2014, we will be making changes to our medical, dental and vision plan benefits and enrollment options. These changes are being made to:

• Continue leading in competitive employer subsidized benefits. • Manage SAS’ health care costs at a sustainable level. • Avoid triggering the excise (Cadillac) tax under health

care reform.

• Remain compliant under all federal and state laws and regulations.

We are asking you to do your part by living a healthy lifestyle, avoiding unnecessary health care costs and being a thoughtful consumer by evaluating options and the associated cost when you need health care services and treatment.

SAS’ Rising Health Care Costs

SAS’ health care plan expenses have increased by over 21% in the last two years and are estimated to increase by an additional 12% in 2014 (totaling $116 million). In comparison, the national health care trend is estimated between 6% and 7% for 2013 and 2014. SAS has done its best to shield our employees from the full extent of the cost increases by continuing to pay 87% of health care premiums. The charts below compare SAS’ employer/employee cost share of health care premiums to the national average.

13% SAS 13% 87% SAS Cost Share Employee Cost Share

Key Drivers of SAS’ Health Care Cost

Higher pricing – Includes the rising cost of prescription drugs, provid -ers, hospitals, medical supplies and advances in medical technology.

Aging workforce – As we age, we generally need more care and

spend more on health care services.

Comprehensive health care benefits with a low employee cost

share – SAS has a history of low copays, no in-network coinsurance

and very low deductibles. When consumers have little or no out-of-pocket expense, there can be lack of awareness on the impact to the company’s bottom line.

High cost claims – These claims typically reflect very serious medical

conditions and treatments. SAS’ high-cost claims increased from $10 million in 2011 to $19 million in 2012.

Health Care Reform – In March 2010, the federal Patient Protection

and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), more commonly known as “Health Care Reform,” was signed into law. It implements extensive changes and comprehensive health insurance reforms that will roll out over the next four years and beyond. These changes significantly impact both individual and employer-sponsored health plans.

While health care reform should provide access to insurance for everyone in the United States, it comes at a cost. SAS is not insulated from these costs, and like many employers, must make changes to our health care benefits to help offset the costs of health care reform compliance.

SAS’ health care costs have increased by an estimated $5 million annually as a result of the implementation of health care reform. Additionally, the annual impact is estimated to increase to $6.5 million for the 2014-2017 plan years. Unless we are able to manage our health care costs at a more sustainable level, SAS will trigger a 40% employer excise (Cadillac) tax starting in 2018.

The main drivers of SAS’ increased health care cost related to health care reform are:

• 2011 employer mandate to cover adult dependents –

Employers are required to offer coverage to adult dependents up to age 26 regardless of student or marital status.

• 2011 removal of essential benefit limits – This provision

required employers to remove annual and lifetime limits for essential health benefits.

• 2013 extension of preventive services under women’s

health – Employers are required to cover additional preventive

services for women at a $0 cost share. This includes well- woman visits, various types of screenings and FDA-approved contraception methods.

• 2014 - 2016 transitional reinsurance fees – Health care reform

requires group health plans to pay a per-covered-member fee in order to help to fund health care exchanges opening in 2014.

• 2018 excise tax on high value health plans – By providing

comprehensive benefits, SAS is exposed to a 40% federal excise tax on high cost plans known as the “Cadillac tax.” Starting in 2018, SAS may be required to pay millions in taxes if the cost of our health care passes certain thresholds. Although the excise tax does not start until 2018, SAS must begin to make changes now so we don’t trigger the tax in coming years.

The chart below demonstrates the potential cost to SAS in an annual excise tax starting in 2018 through 2029.

How You Can Help Keep Health Care Costs Down

Get regular health checkups– Early diagnosis can result in a quicker return to good health and, in some cases, can even mean the difference between life and death.

Fill prescriptions with generic equivalents – Generics and name brand drugs typically have the same active ingredients, strength and dosage, but a generic drug is on average one-third the cost of a name brand drug. In addition, your out-of-pocket costs are lower for generics.

For Cary employees and covered family members:

• Choose a SAS Health Care Center provider for primary care or even episodic acute care –The HCC offers excellent comprehensive primary care for all ages, beginning at birth. If you already have a community primary care provider and don’t wish to change this relationship, then the HCC is a good choice for the diagnosis and treatment of minor acute illnesses. There are out-of-pocket copays for most visits at community provider offices – all HCC visits are free.

• Fill your prescriptions at the HCC Pharmacy – On average, ingredient costs for prescrip-tions filled at the HCC Pharmacy are 20% less than at retail. Also, the HCC Pharmacy is the only pharmacy that can fill a 90-day prescription in person, offering convenience as well as lower costs for you and the company.

Increase physical activity –Exercise can help improve your quality of life and offset the rise of health care costs. Just 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day can improve your personal health. To get started, learn more about services offered at our Cary Recreation and Fitness Center. Before beginning any exercise program, you should consult with your health care provider.

Manage chronic disease –The treatment of chronic diseases contributes greatly to the rise in health care costs. Coronary artery disease, Type 2 diabetes and hypertension are often prevent-able, managed with lifestyle changes alone or managed with fewer medications if diagnosed early and followed up regularly.

Be a better consumer of SAS health care benefits:

• Use the BCBS Cost Estimator Tool – Take advantage of estimator websites to help lower your costs by letting you compare the cost of care.

• Ask your providers how much a procedure is going to cost, if the test the provider orders is necessary, and inquire if there is a cheaper alternative or generic version of the medi-cation your provider prescribes.

2014 Open Enrollment Highlights

and Changes

1. Health Care Coverage Enrollment –

Medical, Dental and Vision May Be

Elected Separately

Starting in 2014, employees may enroll separately in medical (includes prescription), dental and vision coverage, or any combination of the three. Eligible dependents may be enrolled in any coverage option in which the employee is enrolled. For example, an employee may enroll in Employee Only medical coverage, Employee + Family dental coverage and Employee + Spouse vision coverage.

Monthly premiums will be determined by the type of health care enrollment (medical, dental and/or vision) and the level of coverage selected (Employee Only, Employee + Spouse, Employee + Family). Monthly premium information is outlined below.

If no action is taken during open enrollment, employees will be automatically enrolled in the same level of medical, dental and vision coverage in effect on Dec. 31, 2013.

2. 2014 Full-Time Employee Monthly

Premium Contributions

The full-time employee monthly contributions for medical, dental and vision coverage are listed below. Each coverage option will have a separate monthly premium contribution based on the level of coverage elected. The $100 monthly Working Spouse/Domestic Partner Premium will only apply to medical coverage.

Employee Only $12

Employee + Child(ren) $24

Employee + Spouse/Domestic Partner $25

Employee + Family $34

Items in this Highlights and Changes section are a summary of material modifications (“SMM”) that describe changes to the SAS Institute Inc. Health Care Plan. This information supplements the Summary Plan Description (“SPD”).

3. Medical Benefit Changes

Starting in 2014, SAS will be asking employees to share a little more in the cost of medical care by implementing a low in-network coinsur-ance and by increasing deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. These changes are being implemented to help keep premiums lower for everyone covered under the plan and to encourage covered mem-bers to be more conscientious consumers when accessing health care services. Although the overall combined health care premiums (medical, dental and vision) will increase in 2014, SAS will continue to absorb the majority of the total cost of health care by paying 87% with employees paying 13%. This cost share distribution remains unchanged from 2013.

To help employees make better-informed health care decisions, Blue Cross Blue Shield has developed an online Cost Estimator tool. The tool allows employees to:

• Find and review quality in-network providers.

• Compare the cost of diagnostic tests or treatment offered by various providers and facilities.

• See an estimate of their out-of-pocket expenses.

By accessing data on quality, cost, and out-of-pocket expenses, employees are empowered to consult with medical providers when determining the health care services they need.

For more information on the Cost Estimator tool, visit bcbsnc.com/ mycost.

The chart below outlines the changes to the SAS Medical Plan starting in 2014. There are several areas where there will be no changes to medical costs, such as preventive services (paid at 100%), copays for office visits, and the employee cost share for prescription drugs.

2013 2014

In-Network Non-Network In-Network Non-Network

Individual Annual Deductible $0 $250 $250 $500

Family Annual Deductible $0 $500 $500 $1,000

Durable Medical Equipment 100% 80% 95% 80%

Additional changes to the Medical Plan for 2014 include:

• The $600 maximum for cranial bands will be removed effective Jan. 1, 2014. Cranial bands will now be covered at 95% after the deductible. The limit of one cranial band per lifetime remains unchanged.

• Hearing aids will be covered as follows: • Birth through age 22:

o In-network: Covered at 95% after the deductible. o Out-of-network: Covered at 80% after the deductible. o Replacements available every three years.

• Ages 23 and up:

o In-network: Covered at 95% after the deductible, up to a $1,500 maximum (per ear). o Out-of-network: Covered at 80% after the deductible, up to a $1,500 maximum (per ear). o Replacements available every five years.

What are copays, deductibles, coinsurance

and out-of-pocket maximums?

• Copay – Fixed payments for primary care ($20), specialist ($30), urgent care ($30) and emergency room ($100) visits. Copays do not apply to the annual deductible.

• Annual Deductible – The fixed amount you have to pay each plan year toward certain medical expenses before SAS begins paying. An individual deductible is the amount paid for one covered member, and a family deductible is the amount paid for all covered members in the family. Copays and monthly premiums do not apply to the annual deductible.

• Coinsurance – A way employees and SAS share the cost of care. For certain in-network services, SAS pays 95% of the cost once the deductible has been met.

For Example: A covered member with a $250 deductible and 95% coinsurance is responsible for paying for the first $250 of medical care cost, then 5% of the subsequent costs until reaching the annual out-of-pocket maximum.

• Out-of-Pocket Maximum – The limit on the total deductible, copays, and coinsurance a covered member will pay for eligible expenses under the SAS Health Care Plan during a plan year.

For more information about employee out-of-pocket expenses, please refer to the Open Enrollment website at sww.sas.com/hrweb/OpenEnrollment.jsp.

• Prescription

Covered employees will not receive new prescription ID cards from PharmAvail unless dependents are added or dropped from medi-cal coverage during Open Enrollment. If you add or drop a depen -dent, you will receive a new set of ID cards prior to Jan. 1, 2014.

• Dental and Vision

Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

Information

SAS offers two Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs): The Health Care FSA (for full-time and part-time employees) and the Dependent Care FSA (full-time employees only). An FSA allows you to pay for eligible out-of-pocket health care and dependent care expenses with pretax dollars. By spending pretax dollars, you reduce your taxable income by the amount you contribute and therefore pay less federal income and Social Security taxes for the year. Your state and local income taxes may also be reduced which may give you a greater net income.

How an FSA Works

Participation in the Health Care and/or Dependent Care FSA is optional. If you decide to participate, you should estimate your out-of-pocket health care and/or dependent care expenses for the upcoming year to help determine how much you should contribute. Note that the changes to the 2014 Medical Plan may increase your out-of-pocket expenses.

FSA contributions will be deducted from each paycheck on a pretax basis in equal increments and credited to your FSA over the course of the year. When you incur an eligible health care or dependent care expense, you pay for the expense then submit a claim for reimburse-ment from your FSA. If you are enrolled in the Health Care FSA, you will also have the option of using an FSA Electronic Payment Card which is described in further detail below.

SAS FSAs are administered by Flores and Associates (flores247.com).

Health Care FSA

You may contribute up to $2,500 per year in a Health Care FSA to reimburse yourself for eligible out-of-pocket medical expenses incurred by you or your dependents. Examples of eligible expenses include:

• Medical and prescription copays and coinsurance. • Deductibles and amounts over the medical plan’s

Allowed Amounts.

• Glasses, contacts and vision correction surgery (i.e., LASIK). • Out-of-pocket dental expenses (excluding cosmetic

procedures) and orthodontia payments.

Participants in the Health Care FSA receive an electronic payment card (debit card) called the “Benny” Card. The Benny Card may be used to pay for eligible out-of-pocket expenses at health care provider offices, medical clinics, hospitals, dental offices, hearing and vision care centers and pharmacies. This convenient payment option is designed to be used in place of the traditional paper claim, saving you time. However, you may still submit traditional paper claims for reimbursement, if preferred.

More information on how the Benny Card works can be found on the Benefits website at sww.sas.com/hrweb/HRDocs/

HealthCareFSADebitCardFAQ.pdf.

Dependent Care FSA

You may contribute up to $5,000 per year ($2,500 if married and filing separately) in a Dependent Care FSA to reimburse yourself for child care expenses provided for your dependents. The Dependent Care FSA is not to be used for reimbursement of dependent medical

expenses. Reimbursements are made only up to the amount that you have paid into your account at any point during the year. Examples of eligible expenses include:

• Daycare and preschool tuition. • Before- and after-school care. • Nanny services.

• Day camps.

• Track-out care (year-round schools). • Adult daycare services.

Dependents must be under the age of 13, or of any age that lives in your household and is incapable of self-care.

Additional information is available in IRS Publication 503, Child and

(8)

Using the Dependent Care FSA if You Also Receive

a Daycare Subsidy or Daycare Provided by SAS

The Dependent Care FSA has an annual maximum contribution of $5,000. Any dependent care benefits that you receive from SAS (through the value of on-site daycare, the regional child care subsidy or the community child care subsidy) will reduce your $5,000 annual maximum contribution on a dollar-for-dollar basis. If the value of the employer-provided subsidy is less than $5,000, you may elect to contribute the difference between that value and the $5,000 maximum to your Dependent Care FSA. For more information on SAS subsidized daycare, including guidance on how to determine if you are eligible to contribute to the Dependent Care FSA, you may review the Flexible Spending Account memo located at finance.na.sas.com/tax.

Important Information About Flexible

Spending Accounts

You should carefully consider the amount you elect to contribute on an annual basis due to the following FSA rules, based on IRS requirements:

No Changes: In most cases, changes to your FSA elections can only

be made during Open Enrollment. Midyear changes are only allowed if you experience a Qualifying Change in Status.

Separate Accounts: The Health Care FSA and the Dependent Care

FSA are two separate accounts. You cannot use your health care contributions to reimburse yourself for dependent care expenses or vice versa.

Use It or Lose It: Any unused amounts remaining in your account at

the end of the year will be forfeited. You will have until March 31 of each year to file claims for expenses incurred on or before Dec. 31 of the previous year.

For more information on Flexible Spending Accounts, refer to the Benefits website at sww.sas.com/hrweb/HRDocsFlexible SpendingAccountsGeneralInformation.jsp.

Changes You Can Make During Open Enrollment

You may make the following changes to your health care coverage during Open Enrollment:

• Select desired coverage for medical, dental and vision coverage. Beginning in 2014, you may separately elect coverage in the medical (includes prescription), dental and vision plans. As an example, you may choose to enroll as Employee Only in the medical plan; Employee + Family in the dental plan; and Employee + Spouse in the vision plan. Eligible dependents may be enrolled in any coverage option in which you are enrolled. For example, if you do not select dental or vision coverage for yourself, you may not select it for your spouse or family. • Add eligible dependents to your coverage.

• Spouses now include legally married same-sex spouses, regardless of current state of residence. • Drop dependents from your coverage.

• Decline medical, dental and/or vision coverage for yourself and/or your dependents.

Please consider the following information if you are considering declining coverage under the medical, dental or vision plans:

o Declinations are completely voluntary.

o There are no financial incentives available to those who choose to decline coverage.

o If you decline medical coverage, you and your dependents will not have access to the on-site Health Care Center or pharmacy in Cary.

o SAS is not liable for any non-work-related medical or prescription claims for the period you are not enrolled in the company’s medical plan.

o You will not be eligible to elect coverage for yourself or your eligible dependents until the next Open Enrollment period unless you experience a Qualifying Change in Status. o If you and your spouse/domestic partner are both employed

by SAS, you may wish to decline coverage under one employee and choose the Employee + Spouse option or the Employee + Family option under the other employee. The following benefit elections will not carry forward to 2014 unless you take action during Open Enrollment:

• The $100 monthly Working Spouse/Domestic Partner Premium waiver.

• Flexible Spending Account (FSA) elections.

Changes You Can Make During the Plan Year

In most cases, changes to your health care coverage or FSA elections can only be done during the Open Enrollment period. Due to federal law, you can change your benefit elections during the year only if you have a Qualifying Change in Status. For more information, see the Premium Conversion and FSA Summary Plan Description at sww.sas.com/hrweb/HRDocs/PremiumConversion andFSASummaryPlanDescription.pdf.
