When you use doctors, other health care providers, hospitals, and facilities that are in your plan’s network you will receive the best coverage your benefit plans have to offer. Making sure that you use in-networkproviders will ensure you get the best coverage as out-of-network coverage does not provide discounts, doesnot protect you from balance billing, and may imposehigher deductibles, co-insurance, and out - of - pocketmaximums.If you receive services from out-of-network providers yourout-of-pocket costs are usually considerably higher. Thisis partly the case because you lose valuable networkdiscounts and, in addition to you not receiving adiscount, you may also be balance billed*.*Balance billing occurs when an out-of-ne twork providerbills a patient for the difference between what theybilled for services rendered and what the insurancecompany has established as th e max imum allowablecharge for th e service(s) rendered by out-of-networkproviders; depending on the type of service(s) renderedyou may be balanced billed hundreds or thousands ofdol lars m ore than what you would have been billed hadyou used an in-network provider. Why pay more? Selectfrom in-network providers and enjoy the best coverageyour plans have to offer.How do I locate in-network providers?Call the specific insurance carrier’s customer servicenumber or visit their website to locate in-networkproviders. Refer to the “Carrier Contact Information”section of this guide for instructions on how to locate In-network providers for each of the benefit plans youare enrolled in.5

Key Terms6This is the total amount you can pay out ofpocket each calendar year before theplan pays 100 percent of coveredexpenses for the rest of the calendar year.Most expenses that meet provider network requirements count toward the annual out-of-pocket maximum, including expenses paid to the annual deductible, copays and coinsurance.The amount you must pay each yearbefore the plan starts paying aportion of medical expenses. All family members’ expenses that count toward a health plan deductible accumulate together in the aggregate; however, each person also has a limit on their own individual accumulated expenses (the amount varies by plan). These expenses are your share ofcosts paid for covered health care services. Copays are a fixed dollar amount and are usually due at the time you receive care. Coinsurance is your share of the allowed amount charged for a service and is generally billed to you after the health insurance company reconciles the bill with the provider. PPO – A network of doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers that only offers in-network coverage. There is out-of-network coverage available but your costs will be significantly more expense. HDHP – A plan that has higher deductibles in exchange for lower premiums. HDHPs are compatible with Health Savings Accounts (HSA).Out-of-Pocket MaximumPlan TypesCopays and CoinsuranceAnnual Deductible

Health Savings AccountWho Is Eligible?* All three criteria must be met:• Enrolled in an IRS “qualified” High Deductible Health Plan• Not covered by another medical plan unless the other plans is also a “qualified” HDHP• Not enrolled in Medicare coverage*It is your responsibility to notify HR if you are not eligible for HSA.How does it work? The HDHP Consumer Plan allows employees to set aside money on a pre-tax basis into a Health Savings Account (HSA). The HSA is an account established exclusively for the purpose of paying for qualified medical expenses for you and your eligible dependents on a tax-free basis. Contributions to the HSA are funded with pre-tax deductions withheld from your paycheck. The funds are deposited into an interest-bearing account in your name. The money in the HSA can be used to reimburse eligible expenses not covered by your insurance plan, including the deductible, coinsurance, and copays. Any money not used for medical reimbursement remains in the account. In the event you leave the company, you own the account and the money therein. For a complete list of “qualified medical expenses,” please refer to Publication 502 at www.irs.gov. How much can I contribute?
