The policy year runs from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024; however, the company reserves the right to make changes to the policies at anytime as well as the right to require appropriate documentation to prove your dependent relationship status including marriage, birth, tax returns and other legal documents.

C ustom Commodities is offering 2 medical plans, provided by UMR. All plans are PPO plans. Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) PPO plans offers the freedom to see any provider when you need care. When you use providers within the UMR network, you will receive benefits at the discounted network cost. If you use out-of-network providers, you may pay more for services. Health Saving Account (HSA) If you enroll in the EPO High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), you are eligible to open a Health Savings Account (HSA). An HSA is a personal saving account which you can use to pay qualified out-of-pocket medical expenses with pretax dollars. You own and control the money in your health savings account. The money in your account (including interest and investment earnings) grows tax-free, and as long as the funds are used to pay for qualified medical expenses, they are spent tax-free. HSA Eligibility You are eligible to open & contribute to an HSA if you: Are not covered by other non-HDHPs: such asyour spouse’s health plan, Health Care FlexibleSpending Account or Health ReimbursementArrangement Are not eligible to be claimed as a dependent onsomeone else’s tax return Are not enrolled in Medicare or TRICARE Have not received Veterans AdministrationbenefitsYou can use the money in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses now or in the future. Your HSA can be used for your expense and those of your spouse and dependents, even if they are not covered by the HDHP. Contributions Your contributions to your HSA may not exceed the amount established by the IRS. The annual contribution maximum, including the company’s contribution, is based on the coverage option you elect. Individual: $4,150 Family (filing jointly): $8,300Employees age 55 and older are allowed to make an additional annual “catch-up” contribution of up to $1,000. Opening an HSA When you enroll in the UMR HSA plan, you will also need to open a HSA administered by HSA Bank. Once your account is established, you will receive a debit card from HSA Bank for managing your HSA account reimbursements. Funds available for reimbursement are limited to the balance in your HSA. You, NOT the company, are responsible for maintaining ALL records and receipts for HSA reimbursements in the event of an IRS audit. Please note: You may open an HSA at any financial institution of your choice. However, payroll deductions are available only for HSAs openend through HSA Bank.Medical Coverage Information 6

MASAMTS_WhyYouNeedMASA_EMP_V2_FLR_2_0317224 Ways You Can End Up With Out-Of-Pocket CostsOUT-OF-NETWORK PROVIDERSAccording to a 2021 IBIS World market research report, there are over 27,000 ambulance services in the United States, yet your health insurance policy may only cover a limited number of in-network providers. However, when emergencies happen, you can’t be choosy, and there’s no guarantee that you will be picked up by an in-network provider for a ground ambulance. According to Consumer Reports, 79% of all ground ambulance rides could result in an out-of-network bill. Essentially, that means your chances of being responsible for a majority of the bill are pretty high.THE REASON FOR YOUR TRIPHealth insurance policies will only pay for an ambulance trip deemed “Medically Necessary.” Medical necessity is established when any other method of transportation (besides an ambulance) would endanger the patient’s life. For example, let’s say you’re experiencing symptoms commonly associated with a heart attack and take an ambulance to the hospital. If your health insurance carrier decides that the cause of your symptoms (perhaps indigestion, heartburn, or a panic attack) doesn’t meet their requirements for an ambulance, they could deny your claim and leave you on the hook for thousands of dollars.USUAL, CUSTOMARY & REASONABLE RATEIf picked up by an out-of-network ground ambulance provider, and even if the insurance accepts the claim, we know that generally, at best, to expect that the carrier will only pay the Usual, Customary, and Reasonable Rate. This rate is commonly only a fraction of the overall charges, creating a potential balance bill responsibility.COPAYS & DEDUCTIBLESEven if your bills fall within the Usual, Customary and Reasonable Rate, most insurance plans have copays and deductibles. Copays are set fees attached to certain medical services. A deductible is a set amount you must pay before insurance coverage kicks in. Depending on your health insurance plan, some deductibles can be as high as $8,000. So, regardless of other variables, if you need a ground ambulance ride, you could automatically be responsible for hundreds to thousands of dollars just to fulfi ll the requirements of your insurance plan.EYE-OPENING STATISTICSHere are some interesting statistics related to the average cost of medical costs in the United States:Many people assume that their health insurance policy will cover them for ambulance rides and other emergency transportation. Unfortunately, this is often not the case. During the last ten years, huge gaps have opened in most insurance plans, which can leave you exposed to unexpected out of pocket expenses for ground and air ambulances, particularly when emergency transportation is involved.Modern Health Insuranceis Leaving You Exposed65.5% OF PEOPLEwho fi le for bankruptcy cite medical issues as a key contributor to their fi nancial downfall.- CNBC 201940%OF AMERICANSonly have enough savings to cover a $400 emergency expense.Federal Reserve, 2019530,000 FAMILIESfi le for bankruptcy each year because of medical bills. - CNBC 2019OVER 200 MILLIONmedical claims are denied every year.- AARP 2009Medical bills are a leading cause for bankruptcy in the U.S.- METLIFE 2021Unexpected medical bills rank as the #1 concern for Americans KFF - Kaiser Family Foundation, 202027

Reduce Musculoskeletal Costs With Virtual MSK TherapyMusculoskeletal (MSK) is the #1 cost driver of healthcare spending in the U.S. and has doubled over the last decade. On average, employers spend $7,800 and lose 11.4 workdays per year for each employee struggling with back pain or other musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). On top of that, employees with MSDs suffer greatly both physically and mentally. Unfortunately, typical strategies are extremely expensive and underutilized.HealthJoy’s Virtual MSK Therapy program is an effective exercise therapy program for individuals struggling with back and joint pain.With guidance and support from a personal coach, employees can signicantly reduce pain and improve functional abilities in just 15 minutes per day for back, neck, shoulder, knee, hip, hand, wrist, elbow, ankle, and/or foot pain.

Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 In October 1998, Congress enacted the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998. This notice explains some important provisions of the Act. Please review this information carefully. As specified in the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act, a plan participant or beneficiary who elects breast reconstruction in connection with a mastectomy is also entitled to the following benefits: All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed; Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; and Prostheses and treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedema. Health plans must determine the manner of coverage in consultation with the attending physician and the patient. Coverage for breast reconstruction and related services may be subject to deductibles and coinsurance amounts that are consistent with those that apply to other benefits under the plan. Special Enrollment Rights This notice is being provided to ensure that you understand your right to apply for group health insurance coverage. You should read this notice even if you plan to waive coverage at this time. Loss of Other Coverage or Becoming Eligible for Medicaid or a state Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) If you are declining coverage for yourself or your dependents because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to later enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing toward your or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must enroll within 31 days after your or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer that sponsors that coverage stops contributing toward the other coverage). If you or your dependents lose eligibility under a Medicaid plan or CHIP, or if you or your dependents become eligible for a subsidy under Medicaid or CHIP, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan. You must provide notification with 60 days after you or your dependent is terminated from, or determined to be eligible for such assistance.

Human Resources 408 N Trinity Gilmer, TX 75644 903-843-2648 Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with Custom Commodities, Inc. and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to enroll in a Medicare drug plan. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice. If neither you nor any of your covered dependents are eligible for or have Medicare, this notice does not apply to you or the dependents, as the case may be. However, you should still keep a copy of this notice in the event you or a dependent should qualify for coverage under Medicare in the future. Please note, however, that later notices might supersede this notice. 1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage through a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or a Medicare Advantage Plan that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare prescription drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium. 2. Custom Commodities, Inc. has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the Custom Commodities, Inc. medical plan is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existing coverage is, on average, at least as good as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan, as long as you later enroll within specific time periods. You can enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare. If you decide to wait to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan, you may enroll later, during Medicare Part D’s annual enrollment period, which runs each year from October 15 through December 7 but as a general rule, if you delay your enrollment in Medicare Part D, after first becoming eligible to enroll, you may have to pay a higher premium (a penalty). You should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and cost of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. See the Plan’s summary plan description for a summary of the Plan’s prescription drug coverage. If you don’t have a copy, you can get one by contacting Custom Commodities, Inc. at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section. If you choose to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan and cancel your current Custom Commodities, Inc. prescription drug coverage, be aware that you and your dependents may not be able to get this coverage back. To regain coverage, you would have to re-enroll in the Plan, pursuant to the Plan’s eligibility and enrollment rules. You should review the Plan’s summary plan description to determine if and when you are allowed to add coverage. If you cancel or lose your current coverage and do not have prescription drug coverage for 63 days or longer prior to enrolling in the Medicare prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium will be at least 1% per month greater for every month that you did not 55
have coverage for as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. For example, if nineteen months lapse without coverage, your premium will always be at least 19% higher than it would have been without the lapse in coverage.

NOTE: You will receive this notice annually and at other times in the future, such as before the next period you can enroll in Medicare prescription drug coverage and if this coverage changes.

Premium Assistance Under Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you are eligible for health coverage from your employer, your State may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children are not eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligible for these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov. If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed, 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, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877-KIDS NOW or go to www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, you can ask your State if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan. If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you are not already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272). If you live in one of the following States, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. The following list of States is current as of July 31, 2021. Contact your State for more information on eligibility.
