The health care reform law does not affect dependent care accounts The maximum for Dependent
Care Expense Reimbursement Accounts remains $5000 a year per household

to $5000 a year for the household
Participants that are married but filing separate tax returns may elect up to $2500 a year
per participant
Single parents may elect a maximum of $5000 a year
Health Care Reform Announcement
Employees can contribute no more than $2500 from their salary to their Medical Expense
Reimbursement Account each plan year
The annual maximum only applies to employee payroll deductions any money contributed to your
flexible benefit account by your employer isnrsquot included in the $2500 annual maximum Therefore
any employee receiving $120 from the wellness program could have a maximum contribution of up
to $2620
The $2500 annual maximum is per participant
If your spouse is eligible for flexible benefits with LCPS or with another employer heshe
may elect a salary reduction of up to $2500 - regardless of how much you elect

reduction of $2500 - regardless of the size of your family

exceed the $2500 annual maximum
The health care reform law does not apply to plan years before 2013 Therefore if you have money
left from the 2012 plan year you can still incur expenses during the grace period (January 1 2013 to
March 15 2013) and the money will not be counted towards the $2500 annual maximum for 2013
If your election in the flexible benefit plan is de-activated and re-activated in the same plan year
your total salary reduction canrsquot exceed the $2500 annual maximum
The $2500 annual maximum will be subject to inflation and may change in subsequent years
formal notice of any such change will be provided

$2500 on Medical Expense Reimbursement Accounts

Legislation passed by the 2012 General Assembly resulted in VRS making changes to how its members receive retirement credit These changes were effective July 1 2012 Contributions to VRS consist of two parts ndash one from the employer and one from the employee Prior to this legislation Loudoun County Public Schools paid both parts for its full time employees The 2012 General Assembly approved legislation requiring employees to pay the employee share ndash in essence prohibiting LCPS from continuing to pay this on behalf of its employees While wersquove been communicating with you over the last several months regarding the deduction now being taken from your paycheck for the employee share there is another circumstance that you should be aware of
If you experience Leave Without Pay you may NOT receive service credit
For example if an employee has exhausted all earned leave and is being docked for leave without pay there may not be sufficient pay to deduct the member share This could result in the employee not receiving VRS credit for that month This loss of credit is not eligible for purchase under VRS Purchase of Prior Service guidelines The following link to VRS provides a list of the types of service that are eligible httpwwwvaretireorgmembersplan1ppstypesasp
Virginia Retirement System (VRS) Legislative Changes
Should you have any questions regarding the service credit or leave without pay purchase of service please contact the Payroll Division at

How Service Credit Is Earned Previously 10 or 11 month staff would receive an additional service credit in a designated month during the year to get to one full year of service credit Service is now reported as follows

Example 10-month to 12-month
employee mid year Amy works as a 10-month
employee beginning August 15th and changes to
12-month January 2nd
As a 10-month employee Amy has earned 12000 credits per month as an assis-tant principal a 12-month position Amy will earn one service credit per month Employee is short of 12 months service by 12 months for the 20122013 school year
Employees changing positions based on a contract month change can lose credit based on the timing of the change

Cigna is working with MedSolutions Inc to implement a new support and outreach program called Informed Choice The goal of the program is to educate customers undergoing an MRI CT or PET scan about their options for geographically convenient and cost-effective facilities as they and their doctors choose where to have the scans done This program is available to all Cigna customers
How Does The Program Work
After your doctor contacts MedSolutions for precertification of coverage for an MRI CT or PET scan a specially trained representative may contact you by phone and provide information about conveniently located credentialed participating facilities (hospitals or free-standing facilities) and offer appointment options MedSolutions representatives can also provide cost comparison information so that you can be aware of the financial impact of the choice of facility MedSolutions can assist you in scheduling an appointment at your facility of choice and complete the referral for the services that have been authorized for coverage Additionally if you have questions about benefits or other plan details the MedSolutions representative can connect directly with Cignas Customer service team to help answer those questions as well
The two key goals of this program are
To make individuals aware of available options for MRI CT and PET scans To provide cost comparison information to assist individuals in choosing to obtain imaging services from credentialed service centers at a discounted rate
Itrsquos important to remember that the final decision as to where you receive treatment in these cases is YOUR decision This is by no means a method of steering you to a facility that you or your doctor did not choose If you have any questions about this program in particular or any of your Cigna benefits please contact their Customer Service Team 24 hours a day 7 days a week at 1-800-244-6224
Cignas New ldquoInformed Choicerdquo Program for MRICTPET Scans
Creditable Coverage Notice Are you or a dependent on your insurance eligible for Medicare
If so there are a couple things you need to know about your prescription coverage
Medicare prescription drug coverage is available to everyone with Medicare and it provides a
standard level of coverage set by Medicare
The LCPS prescription drug plan through Express ScriptsMedco provides coverage that
exceeds the standard set by Medicare This is called Creditable Coverage and means you will
not pay a penalty if you elect a Medicare drug plan later

Legislation passed by the 2012 General Assembly resulted in VRS making changes to how its members receive retirement credit These changes were effective July 1 2012 Contributions to VRS consist of two parts ndash one from the employer and one from the employee Prior to this legislation Loudoun County Public Schools paid both parts for its full time employees The 2012 General Assembly approved legislation requiring employees to pay the employee share ndash in essence prohibiting LCPS from continuing to pay this on behalf of its employees While wersquove been communicating with you over the last several months regarding the deduction now being taken from your paycheck for the employee share there is another circumstance that you should be aware of
If you experience Leave Without Pay you may NOT receive service credit
For example if an employee has exhausted all earned leave and is being docked for leave without pay there may not be sufficient pay to deduct the member share This could result in the employee not receiving VRS credit for that month This loss of credit is not eligible for purchase under VRS Purchase of Prior Service guidelines The following link to VRS provides a list of the types of service that are eligible httpwwwvaretireorgmembersplan1ppstypesasp

Cigna is working with MedSolutions Inc to implement a new support and outreach program called Informed Choice The goal of the program is to educate customers undergoing an MRI CT or PET scan about their options for geographically convenient and cost-effective facilities as they and their doctors choose where to have the scans done This program is available to all Cigna customers
How Does The Program Work
After your doctor contacts MedSolutions for precertification of coverage for an MRI CT or PET scan a specially trained representative may contact you by phone and provide information about conveniently located credentialed participating facilities (hospitals or free-standing facilities) and offer appointment options MedSolutions representatives can also provide cost comparison information so that you can be aware of the financial impact of the choice of facility MedSolutions can assist you in scheduling an appointment at your facility of choice and complete the referral for the services that have been authorized for coverage Additionally if you have questions about benefits or other plan details the MedSolutions representative can connect directly with Cignas Customer service team to help answer those questions as well
The two key goals of this program are
To make individuals aware of available options for MRI CT and PET scans To provide cost comparison information to assist individuals in choosing to obtain imaging services from credentialed service centers at a discounted rate
Itrsquos important to remember that the final decision as to where you receive treatment in these cases is YOUR decision This is by no means a method of steering you to a facility that you or your doctor did not choose If you have any questions about this program in particular or any of your Cigna benefits please contact their Customer Service Team 24 hours a day 7 days a week at 1-800-244-6224
Cignas New ldquoInformed Choicerdquo Program for MRICTPET Scans
Creditable Coverage Notice Are you or a dependent on your insurance eligible for Medicare
If so there are a couple things you need to know about your prescription coverage
Medicare prescription drug coverage is available to everyone with Medicare and it provides a
standard level of coverage set by Medicare
The LCPS prescription drug plan through Express ScriptsMedco provides coverage that
exceeds the standard set by Medicare This is called Creditable Coverage and means you will
not pay a penalty if you elect a Medicare drug plan later
For the full Creditable Coverage disclosure please visit the Employee Benefits homepage for a link

After your doctor contacts MedSolutions for precertification of coverage for an MRI CT or PET scan a specially trained representative may contact you by phone and provide information about conveniently located credentialed participating facilities (hospitals or free-standing facilities) and offer appointment options MedSolutions representatives can also provide cost comparison information so that you can be aware of the financial impact of the choice of facility MedSolutions can assist you in scheduling an appointment at your facility of choice and complete the referral for the services that have been authorized for coverage Additionally if you have questions about benefits or other plan details the MedSolutions representative can connect directly with Cignas Customer service team to help answer those questions as well
The two key goals of this program are
To make individuals aware of available options for MRI CT and PET scans To provide cost comparison information to assist individuals in choosing to obtain imaging services from credentialed service centers at a discounted rate
Itrsquos important to remember that the final decision as to where you receive treatment in these cases is YOUR decision This is by no means a method of steering you to a facility that you or your doctor did not choose If you have any questions about this program in particular or any of your Cigna benefits please contact their Customer Service Team 24 hours a day 7 days a week at 1-800-244-6224

Legislation passed by the 2012 General Assembly resulted in VRS making changes to how its members receive retirement credit These changes were effective July 1 2012 Contributions to VRS consist of two parts ndash one from the employer and one from the employee Prior to this legislation Loudoun County Public Schools paid both parts for its full time employees The 2012 General Assembly approved legislation requiring employees to pay the employee share ndash in essence prohibiting LCPS from continuing to pay this on behalf of its employees While wersquove been communicating with you over the last several months regarding the deduction now being taken from your paycheck for the employee share there is another circumstance that you should be aware of
If you experience Leave Without Pay you may NOT receive service credit
For example if an employee has exhausted all earned leave and is being docked for leave without pay there may not be sufficient pay to deduct the member share This could result in the employee not receiving VRS credit for that month This loss of credit is not eligible for purchase under VRS Purchase of Prior Service guidelines The following link to VRS provides a list of the types of service that are eligible httpwwwvaretireorgmembersplan1ppstypesasp

Cigna is working with MedSolutions Inc to implement a new support and outreach program called Informed Choice The goal of the program is to educate customers undergoing an MRI CT or PET scan about their options for geographically convenient and cost-effective facilities as they and their doctors choose where to have the scans done This program is available to all Cigna customers
How Does The Program Work
After your doctor contacts MedSolutions for precertification of coverage for an MRI CT or PET scan a specially trained representative may contact you by phone and provide information about conveniently located credentialed participating facilities (hospitals or free-standing facilities) and offer appointment options MedSolutions representatives can also provide cost comparison information so that you can be aware of the financial impact of the choice of facility MedSolutions can assist you in scheduling an appointment at your facility of choice and complete the referral for the services that have been authorized for coverage Additionally if you have questions about benefits or other plan details the MedSolutions representative can connect directly with Cignas Customer service team to help answer those questions as well
The two key goals of this program are
To make individuals aware of available options for MRI CT and PET scans To provide cost comparison information to assist individuals in choosing to obtain imaging services from credentialed service centers at a discounted rate
Itrsquos important to remember that the final decision as to where you receive treatment in these cases is YOUR decision This is by no means a method of steering you to a facility that you or your doctor did not choose If you have any questions about this program in particular or any of your Cigna benefits please contact their Customer Service Team 24 hours a day 7 days a week at 1-800-244-6224

Cigna is working with MedSolutions Inc to implement a new support and outreach program called Informed Choice The goal of the program is to educate customers undergoing an MRI CT or PET scan about their options for geographically convenient and cost-effective facilities as they and their doctors choose where to have the scans done This program is available to all Cigna customers
How Does The Program Work
After your doctor contacts MedSolutions for precertification of coverage for an MRI CT or PET scan a specially trained representative may contact you by phone and provide information about conveniently located credentialed participating facilities (hospitals or free-standing facilities) and offer appointment options MedSolutions representatives can also provide cost comparison information so that you can be aware of the financial impact of the choice of facility MedSolutions can assist you in scheduling an appointment at your facility of choice and complete the referral for the services that have been authorized for coverage Additionally if you have questions about benefits or other plan details the MedSolutions representative can connect directly with Cignas Customer service team to help answer those questions as well
The two key goals of this program are
To make individuals aware of available options for MRI CT and PET scans To provide cost comparison information to assist individuals in choosing to obtain imaging services from credentialed service centers at a discounted rate
Itrsquos important to remember that the final decision as to where you receive treatment in these cases is YOUR decision This is by no means a method of steering you to a facility that you or your doctor did not choose If you have any questions about this program in particular or any of your Cigna benefits please contact their Customer Service Team 24 hours a day 7 days a week at 1-800-244-6224
