Terms and DefinitionsBenefits ConciergeA resource for employees to answer questions related to enrollment, benefits, ID cards or logging into the insurance portals.Always a good starting point when employees need assistance. If more in-depth service related to claims, billing, or providers is needed, the Concierge will enlist assistance for the member from the Health Advocate.CoinsuranceYour share of the costs of a covered medical service (typically after the deductible is met) calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if your plan has a 30% coinsurance rate, the Carrier will pay 70% of the allowed amount while you pay 30% until you reach the Out-of-Pocket Maximum.CopaymentA fixed amount that you pay at the time of service. Copays are most common for doctor office visits, urgent care visits, emergency room, and prescription drugs. In some cases, you may be responsible for paying a copay as well as percentage of the remaining charges.DeductibleThe amount you pay before the insurance carrier starts sharing the expense of your medical care. Major medical expenses such as inpatient/outpatient surgeries, MRIs, and CT scans typically apply to the deductible.Explanation of Benefits (EOB)Commonly referred to as an "EOB". The EOB is an extremely useful document as it explains how the insurance carrier processed your claim. It shows the billed charges from the provider, the network discount applied, and what the resulting Negotiated Rate is. ( Provider Charge - Network Discount = Negotiated Rate ) It also shows whether the service was applied to your deductible or paid as a copay. It is not a bill, but merely an explanation of how the insurance carrier paid your claim.Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) A type of health insurance plan that usually limits coverage to care from doctors who work for or contract with the HMO. It generally won't cover out-of-network care except in an emergency. In-Network ProviderA provider who has a contract with your health insurer or plan to provide services to you at a discount and have agreed to accept reduced fees for services provided to plan members. Using in-network providers will cost you less money. Negotiated/Contracted RateWhen a Provider (doctor, facility, pharmacy or hospital ) contracts with an insurance carrier, they are considered In-Network. Part of the contract states that the provider will accept a lower payment (lower than what they normally charge) from the insurance carrier as payment in full. This lower payment is the Negotiated Rate.Out-of-Pocket MaximumThe most you will pay for covered medical expenses during your deductible period and then coverage is 100% for the remainder of the year.Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)A PPO is a type of insurance network where you may choose to obtain care in or out of your network. If you choose to visit a “Preferred” or “In-Network” provider, your out-of-pocket expenses will be significantly less than if you visit a provider outside your network. Preventive CareMedical treatments performed with the intention of preventing a health issue. For example, vaccinations and age-appropriate screenings are typically considered to be preventive.

Premium Conversion – Pre-Tax DeductionsThe purpose of the Premium Conversion Plan is to allow you to purchase coverage with pre-tax dollars.The advantage of this plan is that you pay no federal taxes on the contributions you make. This means ahigher take home pay for you than if you purchased these same benefits with after-tax dollars. You are automatically enrolled in this plan for applicable payroll deductionsHere is an example of the annual savings from a Premium Conversion Plan:SAMPLEWITH PRE-TAX WITHOUT PRE-TAXGross Annual SalaryGross Monthly Salary$50,000$4,167$50,000$4,167Pre-Tax Family Medical Plan Monthly Contributions- $1,026 $0Pre-Tax Family Dental PPO Contributions- $91 $0Taxable MonthlyIncome $3,050 $4,167FICA Tax (at 7.65%) - $233 - $319Federal Income Tax (at 15%) - $458 - $625NetIncome $2,359 $3,223After Tax Family Medical Contributions $0 - $1,026After Tax Family Dental Contributions $0 - $91Take HomePay $2,359 $2,106MonthlyDifference: $253AnnualSavings: $3,036Premium Conversion Participation RulesWith pre-tax contributions, you are required by the IRS to make all enrollment elections prospectively for the plan year and cannot change the elections until the following enrollment period unless you experience a qualified “life event” such as:• Change in employee’s legal marital status (marriage, divorce).• Change in number of tax dependents (birth, adoption, placement for adoption).• Termination or commencement of employment by the employee, spouse or dependent.• Change in the employee’s, spouse’s or dependent’s work schedule that would impact the individual’s eligibility for coverage.• Dependent satisfies or ceases to satisfy dependent eligibility requirements.• Change in residence or worksite of employee, spouse or dependent that would impact theindividual’s eligibility for coverage.• Significant change in the health care cost for the employee or spouse attributable to the spouse’semployment.• HIPAA special enrollment rights (acquisition of new dependents or loss of other coverage).• Mid-year eligibility for, or loss of, Medicare or Medicaid.• Commencing or returning from unpaid leave, such as FMLA.• Spouse and Employee “mismatched” enrollment period.

Required NoticesMedicare Part D NoticeImportant Notice from Coastal Bend About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and MedicareThis Notice Applies to You (or Dependent) ONLY if such person is (1) enrolled in a group medical plan offered byCoastal Bend AND (2) eligible for Medicare.Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about yourcurrent prescription drug coverage with Coastal Bend and about your options under Medicare’sprescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join aMedicare drug plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current coverage, includingwhich drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicareprescription drug coverage in your area. Information about where you can get help to make decisionsabout your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice.There are two importantthings you need to know about your currentcoverage and Medicare’s prescriptiondrug coverage:1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can getthis coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMOor PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard level ofcoverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium.2. Coastal Bend has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the Coastal Bend EmployerHealth Plan is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard Medicareprescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existingcoverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) ifyou later decide to join a Medicare drug plan.When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan?You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15th to December 7th.However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, youwill also be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan.What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan?If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your Coastal Bend coverage will not be affected. IF you dodecide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Coastal Bend coverage, be aware that you andyour dependent(s) may not be able to get this coverage back.When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan?You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with Coastal Bend and don’t join aMedicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higherpremium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later.If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premiummay go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you didnot have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium

Page 23

Required Noticesmay consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to paythis higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, youmay have to wait until the following October to join.For More Information About This Notice or Your Current Prescription Drug CoverageContact the person listed below for further information. NOTE: You’ll get this notice each year. You will alsoget it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if this coverage through Coastal Bend changes.

Required Notices – CHIP Notice 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’re 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 aren’t 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 below, 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 www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, 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 aren’t 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.
