Benefit Basics

Your 2019 Benefits Are Effective January 1 Through December 31

You and the Affordable Care Act

If you work full-time, as defined by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that LifeBridge Health offer you affordable medical coverage. If you are a part-time or variable hour employee, the number of hours you work may flex between full-and part-time employment which may impact your medical coverage eligibility each year. Full-time, as defined under the ACA, is working on average 30 hours per week during the applicable review period.

Making Changes During the Plan Year

You may only change your benefit elections during the year if you experience a qualified life event such as:

• Marriage, divorce or legal separation • Birth or adoption of a child • Death of your spouse or dependent child• Change in employment status of team member, spouse

or dependent child

To make changes, contact Employee Services within 30 days of a qualifying life event. You may need to provide proof of the event, such as a marriage license. If you don’t take action, you’ll have to wait until the next enrollment period to make changes unless you experience another qualifying life event.

Covering Yourself and Your Family

Medical, prescription, dental and Spending Account benefits are effective the first of the month following date of hire. All other benefits are effective the first of the month following 30 days of employment.

The following dependents are eligible:

• Your legal spouse

• Children up to age 26 (regardless of their student status or if they are claimed as a dependent for income tax purposes), or your disabled children if disabled before age 26*

*Note: Voluntary benefits may have different age requirements so please review the materials carefully.

Are You Providing Coverage to a

New Dependent?

If you enroll a new dependent for benefits, you will be required to provide documentation to confirm their eligibility. All documentation should be submitted to Employee Services at [email protected] or via fax at 410-601-8001. If you do not provide the required documents within 30 days, your dependents will not have coverage. View page 18 for detailed requirements.

Benefit Basics

LifeBridge Health pays the full cost of many of your benefits. For others, LifeBridge Health and you share the cost or you pay the full cost. Pretax means the cost comes out of your pay before taxes are deducted. After-tax means your cost comes out of your pay after taxes are deducted. The chart shows who pays for each benefit and the related tax treatment.

Important Considerations• You may use in- or out-of-network providers. You will always pay the least if you use the LifeBridge Provider Network.

Using a provider in the CareFirst network, instead of an out-of-network provider, will also help you save.

• You must meet an annual deductible before the medical plan begins to cover a portion of the cost for most care.

• Deductibles and Out-of-Pocket Maximums cross apply. Anything spent in either the LifeBridge Health Network, CareFirst In-Network or Out-of-Network levels will accumulate toward all deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums for the year.

• Out-of-pocket maximums apply to both plans. This is the maximum amount you will pay for health care costs in a calendar year. Your bi-weekly contribution rates will continue.

• You may be required to obtain pre-authorization from the plan prior to receiving certain services. If either you or your provider does not pre-authorize care when necessary, you may not have coverage for that service.

Definitions

Generic – A drug that offers equivalent uses, doses, strength, quality and performance as a brand-name drug, but is not trademarked.

Formulary – A drug with a patent and trademark name that is considered “preferred” by the drug plan administrator because it is appropriate to use for medical purposes and is usually less expensive than other brand-name drugs.

Non-formulary – This type of drug is “not preferred” and is usually more expensive than generic and formulary brand drugs.

Specialty – These drugs are typically the most expensive options, may require special handling, can be difficult to administer and often require additional clinical monitoring.

Save With a LifeBridge Health Pharmacy

No Cost Preventive Medications: There is no copay ($0) for generics used to treat high blood pressure, cholesterol, depression and diabetes if the prescription is filled at a LifeBridge Health Pharmacy.

Long-term Medications: You have two options to receive a 90-day supply if you are taking a long-term medication. Long-term medications are those taken regularly for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, asthma, diabetes or high cholesterol, and must be filled using one of these options:

• Option 1: A LifeBridge Health Pharmacy, including Sinai Outpatient Pharmacy, Northwest Outpatient Pharmacy or Anchor Pharmacy, the on-site location at Carroll Hospital.

• Option 2: Mail Order through CVS Caremark. For more information call 866-294-2110 or visit www.caremark.com.

New: Effective January 1, 2019, LifeBridge Health Pharmacy will offer Mail Order.

Health Savings Account A Health Savings Account (HSA) provides additional options for paying medical expenses with tax-free savings. LifeBridge contributes to your account to help offset some of your eligible expenses.

Account Type Health Savings Account (HSA)

Eligibility You must be enrolled in the Health Saver Plan with HSA and meet these requirements:

• Not be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return.• Not be covered under another medical plan that is not HSA-eligible • Not be enrolled in Medicare Part A or B, or be in receipt of VA medical or prescription benefits

within the previous three months.

Your contributions You contribute on a pretax basis and you can change how much you contribute from each paycheck. The IRS maximum annual contribution is $3,500 for individual coverage and $7,000 for family coverage. If you are age 55 or older, you may make a “catch-up” contribution of $1,000.

Company’s contributions LifeBridge Health contributes to your account (the first half is paid in January and the second half is paid in July as long as you are still enrolled in the plan).

• $600 for individual coverage• $1,200 for family coverageThe combination of your contribution and the company contribution cannot exceed the IRS maximum for 2019 of $3,500 for individual coverage and $7,000 for family coverage.

Eligible expenses Medical, dental, vision and prescription drug expenses incurred by you and your covered family members.

If you also wish to enroll in a Health Care FSA, you will only be eligible for a Limited-Purpose Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA).

Using your account Use the debit card linked to your HSA or submit a claim form to cover the expenses, or pay the expenses out of pocket and save your HSA money for future health care expenses.

Remaining Funds Any money left in your HSA at the end of the year will roll over to the next year — you’ll never lose your HSA dollars.

If you leave LifeBridge Health or retire, you can take your HSA with you so you can continue to pay and save for eligible health care expenses.

Fees There is a monthly fee of $2 for the HSA. As long as you are enrolled in the Health Saver Plan, at the end of the year, LifeBridge Health reimburses the fee for you.

Setting Up Your HSA

To set up your HSA, you must complete the Customer Identification Program (CIP) process within 90 days of enrolling. BNY Mellon will verify the information you provide, which is similar to the information you must provide when setting up any bank account. If additional information is needed, BNY Mellon will contact you via U.S. mail, and you will have up to 90 days to respond.

Once you pass the CIP process, you will receive a debit card from WageWorks in the mail. To view your balance, submit claims and more, set up a WageWorks account at www.wageworks.com.

Remember to set up your beneficiary directly with WageWorks.

Important Considerations For Your

Disability Plans• If approved by the carrier, your disability

payments begin after an elimination period. The elimination period is the length of time you must be continuously disabled and unable to perform your primary position (due to a non-work related injury or illness) and under the appropriate care of a physician before the disability benefits become payable.

• Benefits may be reduced by other income, such as Social Security.

• In your first 12 months of coverage, any disability that arises from a condition for which you received treatment or took medications to treat in the three months prior to your effective date will be excluded.

• To place a disability claim please contact Cigna directly.

Buy-up Long-Term Disability

You may purchase additional long-term disability (LTD) coverage that provides up to 60% of your annual salary, up to a $15,000 maximum monthly benefit. If you are interested in purchasing this coverage, you may do so, without evidence of insurability, when you are first benefits eligible.

Employee earning $80,000 per year:

• Monthly covered payroll: $6,667 (annual salary divided by 12)

• Buy Up Rate: $0.382 per $100 of monthly covered payroll

• 0.382 x $6,667/$100 = $25.47 per month or $11.76 per 26 pays

Employee earning $100,000 per year:

• Monthly covered payroll: $8,333 (annual salary divided by 12)

• Buy Up Rate: $0.382 per $100 of monthly covered payroll

• 0.382 x $8,333/$100 = $31.83 per month x 12/ 26 or $14.69 per 26 pays

Supplemental Life and AD&D Insurance

You may choose to purchase additional life and AD&D coverage for yourself and your dependents at affordable group rates. Rates are based on age and the coverage level chosen.

Supplemental Life and AD&D Insurance for you

You may purchase coverage for yourself through after-tax payroll deductions as follows:

• Up to 5x your base annual salary, to a maximum of $2,000,000.

• Guarantee issue is 3 times salary, up to $500,000.

• If you are enrolling for the first time and are not a new hire, or if you enrolled in coverage and choose to increase your covered amount by more than 3x your salary, or $500,000, Evidence of Insurability will be required. Please contact Employee Services with questions.

Supplemental Life and AD&D Insurance for your dependents

You are required to complete the Dependent Verification Process for any dependent or spouse that will be newly covered with LifeBridge Health Benefits. If you are not sure if you have the required dependent verification on file, please contact Employee Services. Your dependent(s) will not have coverage until you complete this process.

As part of our commitment to control health care costs, LifeBridge Health (LBH) is taking steps to ensure that only eligible dependents are covered under our medical and/or dental plans. To accomplish this, LBH has implemented a dependent verification program. This process is intended to ensure that each dependent enrolled in the LBH medical and/or dental plans is accurately listed and eligible for coverage.

There are three (3) steps to the verification program clearly detailed below. Please complete all 3 steps for the dependents you enrolled in benefits, if applicable.

1. Make sure that you provide legible copies of all required documentation.

2. Write your name and employee ID number on each piece of documentation.

3. Write “Not For Official Use” on each document and cross out the first five digits of any social security number.

Required Documentation:

Spouse:

• A copy of your marriage certificate AND• One form of documentation establishing current marital

status such as a joint household bill, joint bank/credit account, joint mortgage or lease, or front page of your jointly filed federal tax return.

Child:

• A copy of the child’s birth certificate, naming you or your legally married spouse as the child’s parent, or appropriate court order / adoption decree naming you or your legally married spouse as the child’s legal guardian.

Disabled Dependent:

• A copy of the child’s birth certificate, naming you or your legally married spouse as the child’s parent, or appropriate court order / adoption decree naming you or your legally married spouse as the child’s legal guardian AND

• A copy of a physician certification confirming the child’s disability status.

All required documentation must be received by Employee Services as soon as possible. You can submit documentation via fax at 410-601-8001 or email at [email protected]

Your dependent(s) will not have coverage until we receive the documentation. If documentation is not received within 30 days of your start date, your dependent will not be eligible for coverage until the next open enrollment period unless they experience a qualifying life event.

If you have any questions regarding this process please contact Employee Services at 410-601-8000 or [email protected]

Glossary of Terms

After-tax – The contributions you make for benefits such as Life and AD&D insurance and Disability insurance are subject to Social Security tax, federal income tax and, in most cases, state and local income taxes.

Calendar Year Maximum – The benefit amount paid each year for each family member enrolled in the dental plan.

Coinsurance – The sharing of cost between you and the plan. For example, 80 percent coinsurance means the plan covers 80 percent of the cost of service after a deductible is met, and you will be responsible for the remaining 20 percent of the cost.

Copay – A fixed amount (for example $15) you pay for a covered health care service, usually when you receive the service. The amount can vary by the type of covered health care service.

Deductible – The amount you have to pay for covered health care services before your health plan begins to pay.

Elimination Period – The time period between the beginning of an injury or illness and receiving benefit payments from the insurer.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) – FSAs allow you to pay for eligible health care and dependent care expenses using tax-free dollars. The Health Care Account can be used to pay for services not covered by your medical, dental or vision plan such as copayments, coinsurance deductibles, prescription expenses, lab exams and tests, contact lenses, and eyeglasses. The Dependent Care Account is used to pay for day care expenses associated with caring for elder or child dependents that are necessary for you or your spouse to work or attend school full-time. The money in the account is subject to the “use it or lose it” rule which means you must spend the money in the account before the end of the plan year.

Health Savings Account (HSA) – An HSA is a personal health care account for those enrolled in an HDHP. You may use your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses such as doctor’s office visits, hospital care, prescription drugs, dental care, and vision care. You 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 expenses and those of your spouse and dependents, even if they are not covered by the HDHP.

High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) – A qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) is defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as a plan with a minimum annual deductible and a maximum out-of-pocket limit. These minimums and maximums are determined annually and are subject to change.

In-network – A designated list of health care providers (doctors, dentists, etc.) with whom the health insurance provider has negotiated special rates. Using in-network providers lowers the cost of services for you and the Company.

LifeBridge Health (LBH) Network – LifeBridge Health Provider Network

Out-of-network – Health care providers that are not in the Plan’s network and who have not negotiated discounted rates. The cost of services provided by out-of-network providers is much higher for you and the Company. Additional deductibles and higher coinsurance will apply.

Out-of-pocket maximum – The most you will pay of your own money before services are 100 percent covered by the medical plan. Your annual deductible is included in your out-of-pocket maximum.

Pretax – The contributions you make for medical, dental, HSA, FSA health care spending and FSA dependent care spending are not subject to Social Security tax, federal income tax or, in most cases, state and local income taxes.

Reasonable & Customary Charges (R&C) – Prevailing market rates for services provided by health care professionals within a certain area for certain procedures. Reasonable and Customary rates apply to out-of-network charges.
