QUARTZ’S PRESCRIPTION DRUG FORMULARYQuartz Health’s prescription drug formulary (list of covered drugs) provides

coverage to members with safe, effective medications in an affordable manner. The Quartz’s formulary applicable for BSJ members is called Standard Choice. Please refer to the formulary for the status of your prescriptions. Ways to access the formulary are on the right side of this page.

Not all drugs are covered by your prescription benefit and some are covered only under specific circumstances. Always check the Standard Choice formulary when you are prescribed a new medication, so you avoid any coverage misunderstandings. Categories of non-covered drugs are described below:

Exclusions – Some drugs or groups of drugs are excluded from coverage under the drug benefit. An example is a drug for cosmetic purposes.

Restrictions – Restricted drugs are those that require Prior Authorization or Step Therapy before you can receive coverage. Restricted drugs may be preferred or non-preferred. Restrictions are noted on the formulary.

Non-preferred drugs – Some of your drug benefits provide coverage for non-preferred drugs at higher copays.

Non-formulary drugs – Drugs listed as NF in the formulary are not covered. In most cases formulary alternatives are available.

What if my drug is not on the Formulary?

If your drug is considered non-formulary, you should first contact Customer Service and ask if your drug is covered now since the formulary changes periodically.

If you learn that it is not covered, you have two options:

You can ask Customer Service (800.362.3310) for a list of similar drugs that are covered. When you receive the list, show it to your doctor and ask the doctor to prescribe a similar drug that is covered by Quartz.

You can ask for an exception, so the drug is covered. Generally, your request for an exception is approved only when the alternative drugs included on the formulary are not effective in treating your condition and/or would cause you to have adverse medical effects. Call Customer Service or review the formulary PDF for more information on requesting an exception.

HOW TO VIEW QUARTZ’S FORMULARY

View the complete list in Quartz’s up-to-date formulary PDF at www.QuartzBenefits.com. This is the easiest and fastest way to answer formulary questions such as whether or not your drug is on the formulary for your plan, if it requires Prior Authorization or has other restrictions, and what tier copay it is.

Log into Quartz’s secure member portal, MyChart, and search Quartz’s formulary. You can price-check individual drugs to see what your copay may be, based on your specific drug benefit. This tool provides more detail and member-specific information than the PDF formulary listing and is a more interactive process.

Request an updated version from Quartz’s Customer Service at 800.362.3310.

UTILIZATION MANAGEMENT (UM)Utilization Management assists members in obtaining health care in the most efficient and economical manner. UM works with participating providers to help ensure decisions regarding treatment are based on appropriateness of care and service. The UM program protects members from unnecessary costs and helps them to be good stewards of plan resources for the benefit of all members.

All Quartz members and their health care services are managed by:

Medical Management

Quartz Pharmacy Program

Behavioral Health Care Management

Quartz carefully reviews treatment plans and requests submitted by participating practitioners. This process of UM (sometimes called care management) is conducted by nurses with the support of physicians. The medical management staff works with your Primary Care Physician (PCP) to coordinate your care at three stages:

Pre-service review – before you receive care or services

Concurrent review – while care or services are being provided

Post-service review – after care or services have been provided

If you have any concerns relating to utilization management, you may call the following numbers to address your concerns:

Medical Management608.821.4200 (Local)888.829.5687 (Toll-free)

Behavioral Health Care Management608.640.4450 (Local)800.683.2300 (Toll-free)

Quartz Utilization Management for Chiropractic Care800.362.3310 (Toll-free)

Quartz Pharmacy Program888.450.4884 (Toll-free)

Additional information about Utilization Management may be found at www.quartzbenefits.com.

COMPLEX CASE MANAGEMENT

Members with serious, complicated medical problem or diagnosis that require an extensive use of health care resources will have their treatment coordinated by Quartz Health. The professionals in this team will work with you and your providers to navigate the health system and community resources that will best meet your needs. The goal of the complex case management team is to help you regain optimum health or improve your health to the greatest degree possible. You may contact the complex case management staff at 866.884.4601.

HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNT – NEW VENDORWhat is a Health Reimbursement Account? And how does it benefit me?

A Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) plan is a tax-favored benefit that helps both employers and their employees save money on the cost of medical expenses. This benefit is funded by employer money and allocated to employees to help defer healthcare costs. These types of plans help employers to decrease medical insurance premium by raising deductibles. These decreased premiums benefit both the employer and their employees by having lower monthly premiums/payroll deductions.

The HRA benefit plan design is determined by the employer and the money in the account is owned by the employer. For 2021, the HRA works as follows:

Beginning January 1, 2021, the BSJ HRA plan administrator is changing to Employee Benefits Corporation (EBC). The HRA process continues to be automatic with claims being processed by the insurance company, data sent electronically to EBC, and EBC paying the provider directly. Employees can check their financial responsibility online at http://www.ebcflex.com/. If you have questions on the 2021 HRA, contact EBC at: 800.346.2126 (toll-free) or 608.831.8445 (local) or [email protected].

For questions on the 2020 HRA, contact BPA at 715.832.5535 (local) or 800.236.7789 (toll-free).

Dental Network Savings Information

The District’s dental plan through Delta Dental of Wisconsin offers colleagues the freedom to choose who they want for their dental provider; those choices are described below.

Delta Dental Premier Network – offers a very broad network of providers (nearly 90% of all the dentists in Wisconsin) and offers a discount off charges.

Out-of-Network Provider – has no discount off dental charges but allows complete freedom of choice concerning your dental provider. These providers often charge more than allowed by Delta Dental and the patient can be balance billed for the difference. Using out-of-network providers will cost more out-of-pocket than either of the two network providers.

FINDING A DENTISTGo to Delta Dental of Wisconsin’s website at https://www.deltadentalwi.com/s/find-a-provider to locate a dentist near you or to check if your current dentist is in one of the Delta Dental networks. Remember using an in-network provider will make the most of your dental care dollars.

PREDETERMINATION OF BENEFITS

After an examination, your dental provider may recommend a treatment plan. If the services involve crowns, fixed bridgework, implants, or partial or complete dentures, ask your provider’s office to send the treatment plan with images to Delta Dental. The available coverage will be calculated and printed on a Predetermination of Benefits form. Copies of the form will be sent to you and your dental provider.

Having this Predetermination helps assure there are no surprises as to your share of the cost for that dental service. The Predetermination of Benefits form is valid for one year from the date issued.

Predeterminations are not required, but Delta Dental encourages you to use this service. Should you have any questions about a predetermination, just call Delta Dental of WI at 800.236.3712.

FLEXIBLE BENEFIT PLAN – NEW VENDORWe sponsor a flexible benefit plan to help you pay for everyday expenses on a pre-tax basis. The flexible benefit plan year is January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. The flexible benefit plan helps you pay for everyday medical expenses on a pre-tax basis by:

Premiums: Pre-tax contributions for medical, dental and vision premiums.

Medical Flexible Spending Arrangement (FSA): You can set aside pre-tax contributions for medical, dental and vision expenses not paid by your (or your spouse’s) insurance plans up to $2,750 (minimum is $500) depending on your election. As a reminder, you need to obtain a prescription for over-the-counter medications in order to use your medical FSA dollars for reimbursement (one prescription per OTC med, per year needed).

At the end of the plan year, $550 may be carried over in the medical FSA. If you have any amount over $500, it will be forfeited at the end of the plan year (i.e., “use it or lose it”).

Dependent care: You can set aside pre-tax contributions for dependent care expenses up to $5,000 per plan year (minimum election is $1,000). No dollars may be carried over into the next plan year.

Participants must enroll annually for the plan year effective on January 1.

Each component of the flexible benefit plan requires a separate election. Funds cannot be moved from one component to another. Contributions cannot be changed unless a qualifying life event occurs and must be made within 30 days of the event.

To manage your accounts with EBC, check out their on-line participant site called My Account Administrator. Go to www.ebcflex.com/Support/ to sign up for My Account Administrator. Sign-up is easy; just follow the instructions shown on page 11.

The employee accumulates as much as he or she wants in the PLV bank. After employment ends, accumulated PLV is paid out 100% to the employee on his or her last direct deposit.

HIPAA PORTABILITY NOTICEOur records show that you are eligible to participate in the company’s Group Health Plan (to actually participate, you must complete an enrollment form and pay your share of the premium). A federal law called HIPAA requires that we notify you about some important provisions in the plan.

Special enrollment rightsIf you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to 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 towards your or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after your or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage).

In addition, if you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 30 after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption.

If you are declining enrollment because you and/or your dependents are covered under a Medicaid plan or state Child Health Plan (CHIP) and that coverage is terminated due to a loss of eligibility, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan. However, you must request enrollment within 60 days after the date that termination of such coverage occurred and meet certain other important conditions described in the Summary Plan Description.

If you and/or your dependents are determined to be eligible under a state’s Medicaid plan or state Child Health Plan (CHIP) for premium subsidy assistance, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan.

Important notice from Bethany St. Joseph Corporation (BSJ) about 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 BSJ and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice.

There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage:

1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare 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. BSJ has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by Bethany St. Joseph Corporation is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existing coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you 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 15 th through December 7th.

However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you will 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 current BSJ coverage will not - in most cases, enrolling in a Medicare drug plan will not affect a participant’s benefits under your health plan, be affected.

If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current BSJ coverage, be aware that you and your dependents may not be able to get this coverage back right away or at all. Please review the BSJ health plan documents for details regarding eligibility and enrollment rights.

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 BSJ and don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later.

- 25-

If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join.

For more information about this notice or your current prescription drug coverage…Contact the person listed below for further information or call your Human Resources Department NOTE: You’ll get this notice each year. You will also get it if this coverage through BSJ changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time.

For more information about your options under Medicare prescription drug coverage…More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare & You” handbook. You’ll get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare drug plans.

For more information about Medicare prescription drug coverage:

Call 800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.

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 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 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, 2020. Contact your State for more information on eligibility.

NOTICE OF RIGHTS UNDER THE WOMEN’S HEALTH AND CANCER RIGHTS ACT OF 1998On October 21, 1998, the federal government enacted the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act. This law requires that all group health plans that provide coverage for mastectomies must also provide coverage for breast reconstruction surgery in connection with that mastectomy. This memo is intended to provide participants and beneficiaries with notice of their rights under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act.

Participants and beneficiaries who receive benefits under the group health plan in connection with a mastectomy and elect breast reconstruction surgery in connection with that mastectomy are entitled to coverage for that reconstruction in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient. Such coverage includes:

1. Reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed

2. Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance

3. Prostheses and physical complications at all stages of the mastectomy, including lymphedemas.These benefits may be subject to deductibles and coinsurance limitations consistent with those established for similar benefits under the group health plan.

Please contact the Human Resources Department or the company’s health insurance carrier directly for more information on your rights under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act.
