MHPSA Employee Benefits 3

Web EnrollmentYou will have the opportunity to enroll in your benefits through an online enrollment system. Visit https://portal.adp.com to select your benefits for 2017. Log on using your employee ID. If you need to reset your password, email [email protected].

New HireTo enroll as a new hire, you will need your employee profile set up in the Employee Self-Service Portal. Your earliest access will depend on the timing of your hire and submittal of required documentation.

Once your employee profile is established, an email will be sent to you. Then you must sign in and complete your online enrollment no earlier than your date of hire and no later than 30 days after your date of hire.

Annual EnrollmentAnnual Enrollment is your once-a-year opportunity to select or update the employee health benefits that matter to you and your family. The employee benefits available to you are determined by various factors such as your employee status, full/part time status, benefit code, life event(s), and effective date(s). Based on these factors, certain benefits and/or election options may or may not be available to you.

In certain cases, you may also have a special enrollment opportunity, outside of Annual Enrollment, because of a qualifying life event. Please see the Life Events Enrollment section for examples of qualifying life events and how to change your benefits when one occurs.

Life Event(s) EnrollmentLife events are events that may affect your health benefit needs and include any of the following:• Marriage• Childbirth/adoption• Death of a spouse• Job loss• Retirement• Divorce• Loss/gain of eligibility for coverage under another

plan (including but not limited to Medicare/Medicaid eligibility)

• Court orders

When a life event occurs, it is your responsibility to report the event within 30 days AND add/remove coverage for your dependents on the Employee Self-Service Portal and notify Human Resources. Reporting the event does NOT automatically add or remove coverage for your dependent. Once recorded, each event will create an enrollment opportunity when you will have 24 hours to make any necessary changes to your benefits. Any changes MUST be confirmed or they will not be processed. You are encouraged to print a confirmation of your changes to verify that you have changed the intended benefits. Required life event, and/or proof of relationship documentation will be requested directly from Dependent Verification Services (DVS) via email and letters mailed directly to your home. Requested documents should be uploaded, faxed, or mailed back directly with the cover sheet provided.

Enrollment and Life Events

When do my benefits become effective?Your medical, dental, and vision benefits become effective the first day of the month following your date of hire.

DAYS

You have 30 days from the qualifying life event to report the event on the Employee Self-Service Portal. Qualifying life events will require documentation.

4 MHPSA Employee Benefits

DependentsWithin the Benefits section of the Employee Self-Service Portal, you will be able to update your dependents by adding, removing, or correcting any of the following information:

• Names

• Addresses

• Dates of birth

• Gender

• Relationship (to you)

• Full-time student status

• Disabled status

• Medicare disabled status

You are responsible for making sure your covered dependents are eligible. MHPSA benefits may cover your spouse, and your children until the end of the month in which their 26th birthday occurs. If at any time your covered dependents’ status has changed, you are responsible for notifying Human Resources and most importantly, reporting any coverage changes on the Employee Self-Service Portal within 30 days of the event. If you do not report coverage changes on the Employee Self-Service Portal, you risk:

• Not being able to make election changes (adding/removing dependents)

• Being back-charged for claims or not having claimscovered by the provider

• Being back-charged for deductions from the employer

• Being locked into your elections until the next AnnualEnrollment period or qualifying life event

If you change the relationship status of your dependent, please keep in mind that this may or may not create a qualifying life event and/or opportunity to enroll. Please notify your local Human Resources Department of any relationship status changes.

The Benefits Department may require additional documentation (e.g., proof of relationship, Social Security numbers, Evidence of Insurability). If additional documentation is required, the Benefits Department reserves the right to reverse/not approve elections until the requisite documentation is received.

Dependents and Beneficiaries Dependent Verification Services MHPSA works with Dependent Verification Services (DVS) to obtain documentation for qualifying life events and proof of relationship for dependents. You will receive a letter auditing both the event and relationship simultaneously. It is important that you carefully review your audit letter to clarify the type(s) of audit taking place.

Auditing the event is when you experience a life event during the plan year and documentation is requested showing that you are eligible to change your enrollment due to the qualifying life event.

Auditing the relationship is when you take the opportunity to add or remove coverage for dependents (or yourself ) based on the event entered and proof of relation is requested.

BeneficiariesWithin the Benefits section of the Employee Self-Service Portal, you will be able to manage/designate your beneficiaries. This is where you can add, remove, and update/correct your beneficiary information for your:

• Basic Life/AD&D

• Optional Life/AD&D

• Business Travel Accident insurance coverages

• 401(k) plan (www.401k.com)

You have the option to select one of three types of beneficiaries: person, organization, or other (e.g., trust). You will be required to provide information about your beneficiary based on the type you select.

You can have different beneficiaries for different coverages. It is highly recommended that you add a contingent or secondary beneficiary.

If you would like to manage/designate beneficiaries for your 401(k) or deferred compensation plan, you must do so on the Fidelity website at www.401k.com.

You must return documentation by the letter effective date. Receipt of a DVS letter is not confirmation of coverage; please review your confirmation statement located in the Employee Self-Service Portal for coverage details.

MHPSA Employee Benefits 5

Dependents and Beneficiaries MHPSA medical plans are designed to cover a portion of the expenses you incur for the vast majority of medical services. Medical elections will become effective on the first day of the month after your date of hire. You will be able to choose from three plans: HRA Plan, OAP, and OAPIN. You should evaluate your health care needs and those of your family members when selecting your medical plan option. You and MHPSA share the cost of medical coverage. MHPSA pays the greater portion of the cost, and your contribution, which is deducted from your pay, depends on the medical option and coverage level you choose. 2017 medical plan contributions are shown in the table on page 8.

HRA Plan – Health Reimbursement AccountThe HRA Plan has similar coverage to the OAP, except you pay lower premiums each month and have a higher deductible and coinsurance level. The graphic below illustrates how the HRA Plan works, and the examples starting on page 9 can help you consider whether the HRA Plan is right for you.

PPO Network and Plan Features

Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)

HRA Plan

The HRA Plan shares many features with a traditional PPO plan like the OAP:

• A broad network of doctors and hospitals so you won’t need to change doctors.

• Flexibility of in- and out-of-network coverage with higher benefits for in-network coverage.

• Comprehensive coverage, coinsurance, and prescription coverage.

• An out-of-pocket maximum to protect you from the expense of a catastrophic injury or illness.

MHPSA makes contributions to your HRA each year. You can use this money on eligible health care expenses.

At the end of the plan year, your unused HRA dollars will roll over to your account for the next year.

The HRA Plan offers an HRA and a preferred provider organization (PPO) physician network so you have access to the same doctors for the ultimate flexibility.

The HRA Plan covers 100% of your eligible in-network preventive care services.

Medical Benefits

OAPIN – Health Maintenance OrganizationThis plan does not require that you obtain all medical care or treatment through a primary doctor. You choose your doctor from a network of Cigna participating physicians. Since you use the national network, a referral isn’t required. This plan has a 90% in-network coinsurance level. If you obtain medical care outside of this network, there is no coverage.

OAP – Open Access PlusThis plan is similar to a standard preferred provider option (PPO) plan with a lower deductible requirement, lower out-of-pocket costs, and a 90% in-network coinsurance. It does not require that you obtain care or treatment through a primary doctor. Physicians are also chosen from a network of Cigna participating physicians. When you use the national network, a referral isn’t required. If you obtain medical care outside of this network, there is still coverage through Cigna but at a lesser percentage — typically 60%, depending on the care provided.

+ =

OAPIN and OAP participants have access to Cigna’s OAP network. When you visit mycigna.com, look for “OAP” to ensure you find a provider in your network. Remember: If you’re enrolled in the OAPIN plan, you’ll only be covered if you choose an in-network provider.

6 MHPSA Employee Benefits

All MHPSA medical plans include prescription drug benefits. These benefits include prescribed medications and related supplies provided either by a retail pharmacy (30-day supply) or by mail order (90-day supply). There are three levels of coverage, each with different copays:

Generic drugs (different inactive ingredient)

Brand name drugs (preferred and with no generic equivalent)

Any brand name drugs (non-preferred and with a generic equivalent)

These levels can be seen in the coverage table on page 7 and are listed in the prescription drug section on www.mycigna.com. Cigna also offers a home delivery pharmacy program to help you to control the cost of prescriptions.

Prescription Drug Benefits

Spousal Surcharge (for Medical Only)The spousal surcharge is designed to encourage your spouse to elect coverage under his/her employer’s plan. If you elect to cover your spouse who has employer medical coverage available to him or her, a $28.85 weekly or $62.50 semi-monthly ($125 monthly) spousal surcharge will be applied. This means even if your spouse has elected not to enroll in coverage with his/her employer, you must elect the “Working Spouse Coverage Available” option.

You are responsible for making sure your covered dependents are eligible. MHPSA benefits may cover your spouse and your children until the end of the month in which their 26th birthday occurs. If at any time the status of your dependent(s) has changed, you are responsible for notifying Human Resources and, most importantly, reporting any coverage changes on the Employee Self-Service Portal within 30 days of the event. If you do not report coverage changes on the portal, you risk:

• Not being able to make election changes (adding/removing dependents)

• Being back-charged for claims or not having claims covered by the provider

• Being back-charged for deductions by the employer

• Being locked into your elections until the next Annual Enrollment period or qualifying life event

Certain retailers, such as Target, Walmart, and grocery stores offer $4, $10, and free antibiotics. Please consult your local pharmacy for more information.

*This number reflects the maximum amount MHPSA will contribute to your HRA. MHPSA HRA contributions are tied directly to the claims you incur. For example, if you have employee-only coverage and your total claims for 2017 equal $400, MHPSA will provide $400 to your HRA. While you won’t be eligible for the $600 difference in 2017, this amount will roll over to your account for the following year. Note: The maximum amount of funds in your HRA cannot exceed the out-of-pocket maximum for your coverage level.

Tobacco FreeNon-tobacco users are eligible to receive an annual $600 reduction from employee contributions, to be divided evenly among paychecks throughout the plan year. A non-tobacco user is defined as an employee who:

• Is not using any type of tobacco product

• Has quit using tobacco products 30 days prior to the Annual Enrollment period

• Has a cotinine level below 101ng/ml during a drug screening

Tobacco products include, but are not limited to: cigarettes, chew, bidis, cigars, dip, e-cigarettes, hookah, cloves, pipe, and snuff. Employees who successfully quit all tobacco product use during the plan year will be given the opportunity to be screened at the expense of the company. Please contact your local Human Resources representative for information on how to complete your screening. Upon receipt of a negative result, you will begin receiving the prorated portion of the $600 reward for the remainder of the year.

Cotinine is an alkaloid found in tobacco and is also a metabolite of nicotine. Measuring for cotinine is the most reliable way to determine the exposure to tobacco and nicotine and is the preferred method because it remains in the body longer. The use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (e.g., electronic cigarettes, e-cigarettes) paired with nicotine cartridges are considered a nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) product similar to the patch, gum, and lozenge. Levels of cotinine while using NRT products may disqualify an employee for the reward. We strongly recommend that you speak with your primary care physician to discuss your treatment plan before using any NRT products.

Both rewards are compliant with applicable federal and state laws. Only actively employed individuals who complete the above steps and are enrolled in a 2017 MHPSA Cigna health plan are eligible for the rewards. Individuals on Long Term Disability (LTD) or military leave, and expats, will automatically receive 2017 health plan premium savings.

Dental BenefitsMHPSA dental benefits provide two options — the Dental PPO (DPPO) and the Dental HMO (DHMO) — for you and your family. These plans are designed to cover a portion of your dental expenses after you meet an annual deductible, if applicable. Both provide coverage for four classes of services: Preventive (Class I), such as X-rays or cleanings; Basic Restorative (Class II), such as fillings; Major Restorative (Class III), such as crowns or casts; and Orthodontia (Class IV), such as braces. Dental elections will become effective on the first of the month after your date of hire.

MHPSA Employee Benefits 17

DHMO – Dental Maintenance CareThe Dental Maintenance Care (DHMO) plan provides a wide variety of benefits through participating network providers. The DHMO has no deductibles; however, you must obtain dental services through a DHMO provider much like in the medical OAPIN plan. At the time of initial enrollment, you will need to select a Participating General Dentist (PGD) for each family member. If you do not select a PGD during your initial enrollment, one will automatically be assigned to you. Throughout the plan year you may change your dentist; however, all services must be performed by the PGD you select. To change your PGD after initial enrollment, you must go to your mycigna.com online account or call Member Services at 1.800.36.CIGNA. If you go to an out-of-network dentist or one whom you have not selected as your PGD, you will be responsible for 100% of the cost. Any copayments listed on the patient charge schedule are your responsibility and will be paid directly to the dentist at the time of service.

The DHMO is available in most areas. Employees are responsible for knowing and/or asking which plans are available in their area.

DPPO – Dental Preferred Provider OptionThe Dental Preferred Provider Option (DPPO) plan provides a variety of benefits under which you and your family have the freedom to use any dentist or specialist anywhere. If you choose to use an in-network dentist, you will pay your deductible, when applicable, and the coinsurance that corresponds to your procedure. If you choose an out-of-network provider, in addition to your deductible and applicable coinsurance, you may be billed by the dentist for costs over the reasonable and customary amount as determined by Cigna.

If you choose to use an out-of-network provider, the cost of your claims will generally be higher because Cigna has not negotiated discounts on your behalf with that provider. You may be required, as the plan participant, to file claims for out-of-network services manually using a paper claim form. This will be determined based on the provider’s claim processing procedures. You can find claims forms online at www.mycigna.com or in the Document Library in the Benefit portion of the Employee Self-Service Portal.

FSAs can help you pay for eligible expenses with pre-tax dollars. We offer two types of FSAs: Health Care and Dependent Care.

Health Care FSA

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)

This benefit can be used for any of your taxable dependents even if they are not covered by MHPSA. This account is for eligible health care expenses not covered by your insurance. You can be reimbursed throughout the plan year or claim period as you incur these expenses.

Examples of eligible Health Care FSA expenses include items such as copays and deductibles for medical and dental care, prescription drugs, and eyeglasses/contact lenses for you and your eligible dependents and/or adult children.

Eligible medical expenses must not be reimbursed by any other source, and you cannot seek reimbursement for expenses from any other source.

You are strongly encouraged to consult your personal tax advisor or the IRS for further guidance as to what is or is not an eligible FSA expense if you have any doubts.

The maximum you can contribute to your Health Care FSA in 2017 is $2,550.

Dependent Care FSAThis account is for eligible work-related dependent day care expenses you (and your spouse, if applicable) may incur. You can be reimbursed throughout the plan year or claim period as you incur these expenses. Please note that funds in the Dependent Care FSA cannot be used to pay for your dependents’ health care expenses. In addition, funds are only available once they have been deposited into your account. You may not use funds ahead of time.

An eligible work-related dependent day care expense is an expense incurred to enable you (and your spouse, if applicable) to be gainfully employed or look for work as the custodial parent(s) or custodial provider(s) of an eligible dependent. Expenses for overnight stays or overnight camps are not eligible. Tuition expenses for kindergarten (or above) do not qualify as custodial care. However, summer day camps are considered to be for custodial care even if they provide primarily educational activities.

A qualifying individual is:

• An individual age 12 or under who is a “qualifying child” of the employee as defined in IRS Code Section 152(a)(1). Generally speaking, a “qualifying child” is a child (including a brother, sister, or stepsibling) of the employee or a descendant of such child (e.g., a niece, nephew, or grandchild), who shares the same principal place of residence with you for more than half the year and does not provide more than half of his/her support;

or

• A spouse or other tax dependent (as defined in IRS Code Section 152) who is physically or mentally incapable of caring for himself/herself and who has the same principal place of residence as you for more than half the year.

Note: There are special rules for children of divorced parents. This child is a qualifying individual of the “custodial parent,” as defined in Code Section 152(e).

The maximum you can contribute to your Dependent Care FSA in 2017 depends on your federal tax filing status:

• $2,500 per married couple filing single head of household, or

• $5,000 per married couple filing jointly.

20 MHPSA Employee Benefits

Two FSA Rules Not to Forget

1. The Health Care and Dependent Care FSAs are subject to the “use it or lose it” rule. Unused FSA fundsdo not roll over from year to year. For 2017, if you don’t use the funds in your account by December 31, 2017,you’ll lose them. You have until March 31, 2017, to submit 2017 FSA expenses. That’s why it’s important toestimate carefully how much you should contribute.

2. Funds in your Dependent Care FSA cannot be used to pay for your dependent’s medical expenses.The funds in this account can be used only for expenses that allow you (or your spouse, if applicable) to workor attend school full time. This includes paying for day care or nursery care among other eligible expenses. Formore information about eligible expenses, see IRS Publication 503, “Child and Dependent Care Expenses,” onwww.irs.gov.

If you have any doubts, you are strongly encouraged to consult your personal tax advisor for further guidance as to what is or is not an eligible Dependent Care FSA expense.

EXAMPLEThis example has been designed to help you understand the Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan. It is intended as an illustration only.

John Kenney and his wife, Kaitlyn, earn a combined gross income of $43,500 a year, file a joint return, and claim the standard deduction. They have one three-year-old and contributed a total of $5,000 toward their Dependent Care FSA for the child’s day care expenses. They also contributed a total of $2,000 toward their Health Care FSA for health-related expenses. (This example does not take into account any potential savings for premium contributions or retirement accounts.)

Life InsuranceTo help with the task of planning for your family’s security, MHPSA provides all eligible employees with basic group life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) coverage through Cigna at no cost to you. In the event you die or have an accident resulting in dismemberment while covered, this plan may pay a benefit to your designated beneficiary.

Evidence of Insurability (EOI) ProcessYou must print the EOI form from the Employee Self-Service Document Library and send it to the Benefits Department.

Basic Life Coverage is valued at 2x your annual salary, up to a maximum of $500,000. Please note: The group life insurance over $50,000 is defined as taxable income by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). This means that the IRS requires MHPSA to tax premiums for company paid term life for amounts exceeding $50,000. You will see these taxes indicated on your paycheck (GTL) and W-2.

Basic AD&D Coverage is valued at 2x your annual salary, up to a maximum of $500,000.

If your employment with MHPSA terminates, you will have the opportunity to purchase an individual life insurance and an AD&D policy from Cigna through the conversion privilege.

Business Travel Accident To help manage the risks involved with business travel, MHPSA provides all eligible employees with Business Travel Accident insurance. Coverage is valued at $100,000.

Optional Life InsuranceMHPSA also offers optional life insurance plans. You may elect additional life insurance coverage up to plan maximums. You may also elect coverage for your spouse and/or children, subject to the plan provisions. Optional life insurance amounts may require approval from the insurance carrier based upon medical evidence of insurability (EOI). EOIs are required for any amount over the guaranteed amount (newly hired employees), or for any requests past the first 30 days of hire (year-round enrollment), unless otherwise specified by the insurance company. Premiums are based on age-rated tables and paid by the employee every pay period through a payroll deduction. These premiums are post-tax benefits.

Evidence of InsurabilityIf you elect optional life coverage, and are required to complete an EOI, it is your responsibility to obtain the EOI, fill out the information, and return it to the Benefits Department within 30 days of your election. The EOI form is located online in your Document Library under Benefits in the Employee Self-Service Portal. You may return your form to the Benefits Department by any of the following:

• Send a scanned copy to [email protected].

• Give the completed form to one of your local HR Representatives to forward to the Benefits Department.

22 MHPSA Employee Benefits

Optional Employee LifeCoverage is based on multiples of your base annual salary, with a minimum of 1x and a maximum of 5x, not to exceed $1,000,000. You are able to enroll at any time of the year, but the insurance company will require additional documentation if enrollment is not within the initial 30 days of hire. Additional documentation may also be required if you are electing over the guaranteed issue amount. The guaranteed issue amount is defined as the lesser of 2x your base salary or $150,000. Enrollment in the optional employee life plan is the prerequisite for enrollment in any of the other optional life/AD&D plans.

Optional Employee AD&DMuch like optional employee life, optional employee AD&D is based on multiples of your base annual salary, and the same plan provisions apply. In order to enroll in the optional AD&D plan, you must be enrolled in the optional life plan. If optional AD&D is elected, the amount of coverage must match the coverage of optional life.

Optional Spouse LifeIn order to enroll in the optional spouse coverage, you must be enrolled in the optional life plan. The guaranteed issue amount is $20,000. The amount requested must be in increments of $10,000 and cannot exceed half of your optional life amount or $100,000. If half of your optional life amount is not an increment of $10,000, the optional spouse amount will default to the nearest $10,000 without going over.

Optional Spouse AD&DIn order to enroll in optional spouse AD&D, you must also be enrolled in the other optional plans: optional employee life, optional employee AD&D, and optional spouse life. The amount enrolled in must match the amount of optional spouse life.

Optional Child LifeEnrollment for optional child life is also based on your enrollment in the optional employee life plan. The amounts are in $1,000 increments with a maximum of $4,000. Per-child elections are not available.

Please see the age-rated tables below for determining contribution amounts:

MHPSA Employee Benefits 23

The Short Term Disability (STD) insurance plan provides a stable income source to carry you and your family through a temporary disability. In the event of a non-work related accident or any non-work related debilitating event, a portion of your salary will be continued for a period of time. This benefit is provided at no cost to all eligible employees. There is a seven-day waiting period from the date of the disability for STD benefits to begin. The Cigna Claims Department will determine eligibility, and your earnings will determine the maximum you are allowed for coverage.

STD will provide you the lesser of 70% of your weekly salary or $3,000 per week for up to 26 weeks.

If the disability lasts longer than 26 weeks, you may be eligible for Long Term Disability (LTD), which provides you 60% of your monthly salary not to exceed $11,000 per month, for a period of time. This benefit will be based on your age at onset of disability as defined in the Certificate of Insurance that will be provided to you.

A board-certified physician and Cigna’s Claims Department must approve the disability for benefits to be paid. You must also apply for any state or government related benefits for which you qualify because these may affect your disability benefit. FMLA and medical leave provisions will also apply.

Please see the chart below for sample benefit payments.

MHPSA Employee Benefits 27

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 was designed to provide eligible employees with up to 12 workweeks per year of job-protected leave to address critical personal and family matters. It is the policy of MHPSA and its U.S. subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “employer”) to provide eligible employees with a leave of absence in accordance with the provisions of FMLA.

You are eligible for an FMLA leave of absence under this policy if you meet the following requirements:

• You have completed at least 12 months of employment (need not be consecutive, but employment prior to a continuous break in service of seven or more years may not be counted).

• You have worked at least 1,250 hours during the 12-month period immediately preceding the commencement of the requested leave.

• You are employed at a work site where 50 or more employees are employed by the Company within 75 miles of that work site (“eligible employees”).

To the extent permitted by law, leave taken pursuant to FMLA will run concurrently with Workers’ Compensation, Short Term Disability, and all other Company leave policies.

The “break in service cap” doesn’t apply if it:- is attributable to fulfillment of National Guard or Reserve military service

obligations or- is addressed in a written agreement, including a collective bargaining

agreement, that expresses the employer’s intent to rehire the employee after

the break in service, such as a break to pursue education or raise children.

Procedure for Applying for FMLA LeaveIf you desire and require an FMLA leave of absence under this policy, you must notify your manager and your local Human Resources Department and call Cigna’s FMLA Administration at 1.800.36.CIGNA at least 30 calendar days in advance of the start of the leave when the need for such leave is reasonably foreseeable (as in the case of a birth, the placement for adoption of a son or daughter, or a planned medical treatment for a serious health condition). However, if the date of the birth, placement, or planned medical treatment requires leave to begin in less than 30 calendar days, you must provide such notice to the aforementioned parties as soon as it is both possible and practicable. Failure to provide timely notice may result in a delay or denial of FMLA leave.

When FMLA leave is taken due to a “Qualifying Exigency” and such leave is foreseeable, whether because your spouse, son, daughter, or parent is on active duty or because of a notification of deployment under a call or order to active duty, you must provide such advance notice to the Company as is both reasonable and practicable under the circumstances. When requesting such leave, you must also provide the Company with a copy of the covered military member’s active duty orders and must also provide the Company with a completed Certification of Qualifying Exigency form within 15 calendar days, unless unusual circumstances exist to justify providing the form at a later date.

Upon notification of the request for FMLA leave, Cigna will send an FMLA Rights Package to you. Cigna will require you to provide certification of the leave from your own or the family member’s (spouse’s, son’s, daughter’s, parent’s) health care provider. For Military Caregiver Leave, an invitational travel order or invitational travel authorization may be submitted in lieu of a Certification of Health Care Provider form. This information must be submitted to Cigna within 15 calendar days from the date the FMLA Rights Package is sent to you. At the Company’s expense, the Company may also require a second or third medical opinion regarding your own serious health condition. You are expected to cooperate with the Company in obtaining additional medical opinions that the Company may require.

If you are granted a leave under the FMLA, you may be required to furnish periodic reports every 30 calendar days to Human Resources. Additionally, if the circumstances surrounding your leave change and you are able to return to work earlier than expected, you must inform your local Human Resources Department as soon as possible. It is strongly recommended your local Human Resources Department be informed either way if the circumstances of leave change: if you need to extend your leave or have a different pattern of intermittent leave.

Failure to provide the Company with requested information within the time frames prescribed herein may result in a delay in approving your leave or in the denial of your leave. Employees who are approved for intermittent FMLA through Cigna must fill out the FMLA Intermittent Leave Monthly Update Sheet with appropriate manager signature and submit this form to Cigna each month whether or not intermittent leave was taken.

Other RequirementsIn the case of a serious health condition of your family member (spouse, son, daughter, parent) or you, you must make a reasonable effort to schedule medical treatment so as not to unduly disrupt the Company’s operations.

Federal law requires MHPSA to offer employees and their families the opportunity for a temporary extension of health coverage (called “continuation coverage”) at group rates in certain instances where coverage under the plan would otherwise end.

To Qualify for COBRA Coverage Employees – As an employee of MHPSA covered by Cigna, you have the right to elect this continuation coverage if you lose your group health coverage because of a reduction in your hours of employment or the termination of your employment (for reasons other than gross misconduct on your part).

Spouses – As the spouse of an employee covered by Cigna, you have the right to choose continuation coverage for yourself if you lose group health coverage under Cigna for any of the following reasons:

• The death of your spouse who was a MHPSA employee

• A termination of your spouse’s employment (for reasons other than gross misconduct)

• A reduction in your spouse’s hours of employment

• Divorce or legal separation from your spouse

• Your spouse becomes entitled to Medicare

Dependent Children – Dependent children of MHPSA employees covered by Cigna have the right to continuation coverage if group health coverage under Cigna is lost for any of the following reasons:

• The death of a parent who was a MHPSA employee

• The termination of a parent’s employment (for reasons other than gross misconduct) or reduction in a parent’s hours of employment with MHPSA

• Parents’ divorce or legal separation

• A parent who is an employee of MHPSA becomes entitled to Medicare

• The dependent ceases to be a “dependent child” under the terms of the Cigna plan

- Please note that it is the employee’s responsibility to notify the Human Resources/Benefits Department of any communication regarding loss of coverage and communication regarding such between the employee and the insurance carrier.

• Please note that employees must also provide notice of other events (e.g., divorce) to the Human Resources Department.

COBRA Continuation

Page 29: Employee Benefits Guide - Home | Mitsubishi Hitachi … Benefits Guide 2 MHPSA Employee Benefits This booklet describes the principal features of the benefit plans sponsored by MHPSA

MHPSA Employee Benefits 29

COBRA ContinuationAccount OptionsMHPSA has established a traditional 401(k) and a Roth 401(k) to help provide retirement savings for you. MHPSA’s company-matching contribution is 125% of the first 4%, and 100% of the following 2% that you contribute to the plan each pay period. Company-matching contributions cumulatively apply to the traditional 401(k) and the Roth 401(k), and any contributions made by you are immediately vested.

Traditional 401(k)Every new full-time employee eligible for the 401(k) is enrolled automatically in the MHPSA Group Retirement Plan. You will be eligible to contribute to this plan after completing one month of service with MHPSA.

All benefit-eligible new hires will be automatically enrolled into the 401(k) plan at a 4% contribution rate after one month of service. If you do not want to contribute to the 401(k) plan, you must opt out of the automatic enrollment election directly through Fidelity’s website (www.401k.com). First-time deductions are transmitted by Fidelity to Payroll just prior to the first pay date of eligibility. You must opt out of the automatic enrollment election or change your contribution percentage well before the first pay period in which you become eligible. If elections are not initiated before the first deduction, they will not be transmitted by Fidelity to Payroll until after the next-available payroll. This applies to all initial elections. You may elect to defer from 1% to 60% of your annual salary on a pre-tax basis (subject to regulatory limits). This election will be taken through payroll deductions each pay period.

Any changes to contribution percentages and/or fund allocation need to be made directly online at www.401k.com or by calling Fidelity at 1.800.835.5097.

Beneficiary information for your 401(k) must be established online with Fidelity.

Roth 401(k)The Roth 401(k) allows you to contribute post-tax dollars into your retirement account. Unlike your traditional, pre-tax 401(k), the Roth 401(k) allows you to withdraw your money tax-free when you retire.

The Roth 401(k) contributions are under the same IRS limits as pre-tax contributions to our plan; each dollar of the Roth contribution reduces the amount that can be contributed pre-tax and vice versa.

eligible to participate in any of the health plans offered by Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems Americas, Inc. (MHPSA).

Effective Date of Notice: January 1, 2017

From: Human Resources Department

Subject: HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices

The privacy regulations of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) became effective April 14, 2003. These federal regulations require covered entities, such as health plans, to provide plan participants with a notice of privacy practices describing the health-related information that is collected, how it is used, and the ways in which the regulations permit it to be disclosed. These privacy notices also provide information on a participant’s right to access, review and, if necessary, to have this information amended.

The following HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices for the health plans sponsored by MHPSA details the uses and disclosure that the plan may make of your health information along with your rights and the plan’s obligations with respect to that information.

We’d like to take this opportunity to assure you that MHPSA and its health plans strive to take all appropriate measures to protect the privacy of your health information. We take this responsibility very seriously and consider it our obligation to you and to your family, not simply a legal requirement that we must fulfill. Not only do the MHPSA health plans place limits on disclosing your health information to outside parties, but also take precautions regarding who can access that information internally. Your health information is not disclosed to outside parties for the purpose of marketing products and services.

If you have questions, please contact the Human Resources Department.

MHPSA Notice of Health Information Privacy PracticesTHIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.

This Notice describes the medical information practices of MHPSA’s health benefit plans and programs, and of any third party (called a “business associate”) that assists in the administration of those plans and programs.

“We,” “us”, and “Plan” refer to all the health benefit plans and programs presented herein. “Plan Sponsor” refers to MHPSA. ‘’You” or “yours” refers to individual participants in the Plans.

If you participate in one of the insured health plans sponsored by MHPSA, you will receive a notice from the appropriate insurance plan regarding the policies and procedures they will follow related to the use and disclosure of your Protected Health Information (PHI).

PHI is information that may identify you and that relates to past, present, or future health care services provided to you, payment for health care services provided to you, or your physical or mental health or condition. This Notice of Privacy Practices describes how regulations permit us to use and disclose your PHI. It also describes your rights to access and control your PHI.

HIPAA NoticeWe are required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to:

• Maintain the privacy of your PHI

• Provide you with certain rights with respect to your PHI

• Provide you with this Notice of our legal duties and privacy practices regarding your PHI

• Abide by the terms of this Notice as it may be updated from time to time

We protect your PHI from inappropriate use or disclosure. Our employees and those of our Business Associates are required to protect the confidentiality of PHI. They may look at your PHI only when there is an appropriate reason to do so, such as to determine coordination of benefits or services.

We will not disclose your PHI to anyone for marketing purposes.

Uses and Disclosures of PHIPrimary Uses and Disclosures of PHIThe main reasons for which we may use and may disclose your PHI are in order to administer our health benefit programs effectively and to evaluate and process requests for coverage and claims for benefits. The following describe these and other uses and disclosures together with some examples.

• Treatment, Payment, and Health Care Operations Purposes*

For Treatment: Treatment refers to the provision and coordination of health care by a doctor, hospital or other health care provider. We may disclose your PHI to health care providers to provide you with treatment. For example, we might respond to an inquiry from a hospital about your eligibility for a particular surgical procedure.

For Payment: Payment refers to our activities in collecting premiums and paying claims for health care services you receive. We may use your PHI or disclose it to others for these purposes. For example, if you had insurance coverage from a spouse’s employer, we might disclose your PHI to the other insurer to determine coordination of benefits or services. Payment also refers to the activities of a health care provider in obtaining reimbursement for services. We may disclose your PHI to a provider for this purpose.

* The amount of health information used, disclosed, or requested will be limited and, when needed, restricted to the minimum necessary to accomplish the intended purpose, as defined under the HIPAA rules.

For Health Care Operations Purposes: Health care operations purposes refer to the following:

(1) We may use your PHI or disclose it to others for quality assessment and improvement activities.

(2) We may use your PHI or disclose it to others for activities relating to improving health or reducing health care costs, development of health care procedures, case management, and care coordination.

(3) We may use your PHI or disclose it to others for the purpose of informing you or a health care provider about treatment alternatives.

(4) We may use your PHI or disclose it to others for the purpose of reviewing the competence, qualifications, or performance of health care providers, or conducting training programs.

(5) We may use your PHI or disclose it to others for accreditation, certification, licensing, or credentialing activities.

(6) We may use your PHI or disclose it to others in the process of contracting for health benefits or insurance covering health care costs.

(7) We may use your PHI or disclose it to others for purposes of reviewing your medical treatment, obtaining legal services, performing audits or obtaining auditing services, and detecting fraud and abuse.

(8) We may use your PHI or disclose it to others in our business management, planning, and administrative activities. As an example, we might use your PHI in the process of analyzing data about treatment of certain conditions to develop a list of preferred medications.

• Business Associates: We contract with various individuals and entities (Business Associates) to perform functions on behalf of the Plans or to provide certain services. To perform these functions, our Business Associates may receive, create, maintain, use, or disclose PHI, but only after we require the Business Associates to agree in writing to contract terms designed to safeguard your PHI.

• Plan Sponsor: We and our Business Associates may also disclose PHI to the Plan Sponsor without your written authorization in connection with payment, treatment, or health care operations purposes or pursuant to a written request signed by you. Such disclosures may only be made to the individuals authorized to receive such information. If PHI is disclosed to the Plan Sponsor for these purposes, the Plan Sponsor agrees not to use or disclose your health information other than as permitted or required by the Plan documents and by law.

• Other Covered Entities: MHPSA Plans (including the insured plans) together are called an “organized health care arrangement.” The Plans may share PHI with each other for the health care operations purposes of the organized health care arrangement.

Other Uses and Disclosures of Your PHI with AuthorizationOther uses and disclosures of your PHI that are not described above will be made only with your written authorization.

To obtain an Authorization for Release of Information, call the Human Resources Department. You may revoke an authorization by contacting the Health Information Privacy Officer identified at the end of this Notice.

Your RightsRight to Request Restrictions on Uses and Disclosure

You may ask us to restrict uses and disclosures of your PHI for treatment, payment, or health care operations purposes, or to restrict disclosures to family members, relatives, friends, or other persons identified by you who are involved in your care or payment for your care, or to restrict disclosures for notification purposes. However, we are not generally required to comply with your request for restrictions except in those situations where the requested restriction relates to the disclosure to the Plan for purposes of carrying out payment or health care operations (and not for treatment), and the PHI pertains solely to a health care item or service that was paid out of pocket in full. You may exercise this right by contacting the Health Information Privacy Officer identified at the end of this Notice who will provide you with additional information including what information is required to make a restriction request.

Right to Inspect, Copy, and Amend Your PHIAs long as we maintain records containing your PHI, you have a right to inspect and copy such information. These rights are subject to certain limitations and exceptions. For example, if the requested information contains psychotherapy notes or may endanger someone, it may not be available. You may request a review of any denial to access. If the Plan keeps your records in an electronic format, you may request an electronic copy of your health information in a form and format readily producible by the Plan. If you believe your PHI held and created by us is incorrect or incomplete, you may request that we amend your PHI. You will be required to provide the reason the amendment is necessary. Requests for access to your PHI or amendment of your records should be in writing and directed to the Health Information Privacy Officer identified at the end of this Notice.

Right to a List of DisclosuresYou have a right to an accounting of certain disclosures of your PHI by us. The accounting will not include those items which are not required to be provided such as disclosures made at your request or disclosures made for treatment,

payment, or health care operations. A request for a list of disclosures should be directed to the Health Information Privacy Officer identified at the end of this Notice.

Right to Request Confidential CommunicationsWe will accommodate a reasonable request by you to receive communications from us by alternative means or at an alternative location if you believe that disclosure of your PHI could pose a danger to you. For example, you may request that we only contact you by mail or at work. Requests for confidential communications should be in writing and directed to the Health Information Privacy Officer identified at the end of this Notice.

Right to be Notified of a BreachYou have the right to be notified in the event that we (or a Business Associate) discover a breach of unsecured PHI.

Right to Receive Paper CopyYou have the right to receive a paper copy of this Notice from the Plan upon request even if you have previously agreed to receive copies of this Notice electronically. Requests for a paper copy should be in writing and directed to the Health Information Privacy Officer identified at the end of this Notice.

If we change this Notice, you will receive a new Notice. Active employees will receive the Notice by distribution in the workplace; inactive employees (including retirees) will receive the Notice by mail.

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. The following list of states is current as of July 31, 2016. Contact your State for more information on eligibility.

MHPSA Employee Benefits 37

Wellness Program NoticeYour health plan is committed to helping you achieve your best health. Rewards for participating in a wellness program are available to all employees. If you think you might be unable to meet the tobacco free standard for a reward under this wellness program, you might qualify for an opportunity to earn the same reward by different means. Contact the Benefits Department at 1.407.688.6800 and we will work with you (and, if you wish, with your doctor) to find a wellness program with the same reward that is right for you in light of your health status.

Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act NoticeGroup Health plans and health insurance issuers generally may not, under Federal law, restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than 48 hours following a vaginal delivery or less than 96 hours following a cesarean section. However, Federal law generally does not prohibit the mother’s or newborn’s attending provider, after consulting with the mother, from discharging the mother or her newborn earlier than 48 hours (or 96 hours as applicable). In any case, plans and issuers may not, under Federal law, require that a provider obtain authorization from the plan or the insurance issuer for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours (or 96 hours).

Women’s Health & Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA)If you have had or are going to have a mastectomy, you may be entitled to certain benefits under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA). For individuals receiving mastectomy-related benefits, coverage will be provided in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient for:

• All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed;

• Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance;

• Prostheses; and

• Treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy including lymphedema.

These benefits will be provided subject to the same deductibles and coinsurance applicable to other medical and surgical benefits provided under the group medical plan you choose for coverage.

If you would like more information on WHRCA benefits, please call the Benefits Department (see the telephone numbers located in the back of your Benefits Guide) or you can contact Cigna Member Services at the toll-free number listed on your ID card.

Michelle’s Law Notice The health plan may extend medical coverage for dependent children if they lose eligibility for coverage because of a medically necessary leave of absence from school. Coverage may continue for up to a year, unless your child’s eligibility would end earlier for another reason.

Extended coverage is available if a child’s leave of absence from school — or change in school enrollment status (for example, switching from full-time to part-time status) — starts while the child has a serious illness or injury, is medically necessary, and otherwise causes eligibility for student coverage under the plan to end. Written certification from the child’s physician stating that the child suffers from a serious illness or injury and the leave of absence is medically necessary may be required.

If your child will lose eligibility for coverage because of a medically necessary leave of absence from school and you want his or her coverage to be extended, contact MHPSA’s Benefits Department as soon as the need for the leave is recognized. In addition, contact your child’s health plan to see if any state laws requiring extended coverage may apply to his or her benefits.

Special Enrollment NoticeAs you know, if you have declined enrollment in MHPSA’s health plan for you or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance coverage, you or your dependents may be able to enroll in some coverages under this plan without waiting for the next open enrollment period provided that you request enrollment within 30 days after your other coverage ends. 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 eligible dependents provided that you request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption.

MHPSA will also allow a special enrollment opportunity if you or your eligible dependents either:

• Lose Medicaid or Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) coverage because you are no longer eligible, or

• Become eligible for a state’s premium assistance program under Medicaid or CHIP.

For these enrollment opportunities, you will have 60 days instead of 30 from the date of the Medicaid/CHIP eligibility change to request enrollment in the MHPSA group health plan. Note that this new 60-day extension doesn’t apply to enrollment opportunities other than due to the Medicaid/CHIP eligibility change.

Medical/DentalWhat should I do if I have not received my ID card(s) from Cigna or need additional/replacement card(s)?Log into your www.mycigna.com account and request the card(s) needed. You can print out temporary ID card(s) until your new card(s) arrive/s. You may also contact Cigna directly at 1.800.36.CIGNA (24462).

I elected the Dental PPO and did not receive a dental card. Why?

Cigna does not distribute dental cards to participants who have elected the Dental PPO. Your medical ID card is sufficient.

My child(ren)’s address is different than mine and I elected HMO medical coverage. What should I do?

Update your child(ren)’s address in the Employee Self-Service Portal and notify the Benefits Department at [email protected] that your child(ren) has/have a different address. This way we will manually update the address with Cigna directly so that you may call Cigna to have a guest network assigned.

VisionHow do I submit an out-of-network vision claim with EyeMed?You are responsible for submitting claims only when using benefits at an out-of-network provider because it is the responsibility of the provider to verify eligibility and submit the claim for in-network services.

If you visit an out-of-network provider, you will be responsible for paying the provider in full at the time of service and then submitting the claim and receipts to EyeMed for reimbursement. Claim forms can be located online in your Document Library in the Employee Self-Service Portal, Health & Welfare or on the EyeMed website.

To ensure timely payment, contact the Customer Care Center or visit the EyeMed website to request an out-of-network claim form prior to seeing the doctor. Mail, fax, or email the completed form along with the itemized paid receipts for services and materials.

How do I access my vision benefits with EyeMed?1. Locate the EyeMed provider most convenient for you

by calling the Customer Care Center or by visiting the EyeMed website.

2. Schedule an appointment and be sure to tell the office that you are an EyeMed member, and provide your name, the name of your organization or plan, and your Member ID or Social Security number.

3. When you arrive, identify yourself as an EyeMed member and present your ID (if you have it with you, otherwise they will look up your benefits with your Social Security number).

I forgot to use my EyeMed insurance during my office visit. What do I do?If you forget to use your EyeMed insurance during an in-network visit to the doctor, just contact the doctor’s office and ask them to submit/resubmit the claim to EyeMed. The doctor’s office is responsible for reimbursing you for the claim.

If you have any problems receiving your reimbursement, you can utilize Health Advocate for assistance. See the Health Advocate section for more details on their services.

WellnessHow do I prepare for an on-site biometric screening?You can make an appointment for an onsite biometric screening; limited walk-in appointments will be available as well. For best results, you should fast for at least 8 hours before your appointment time and drink 12 ounces or more of water 30 minutes prior to your appointment.

How do I activate my PowerUP to Wellness account?To activate your PowerUP to Wellness account, go to https://MHPSA.mywellmetrics.com and click “Get Started.” Then enter your name, email address, Employee ID, and date of birth. You will be asked to create a username and password.

After you have activated your PowerUP to Wellness account, you will go to https://MHPSA.mywellmetrics.com and enter your username and password to access the PowerUP to Wellness platform.

How do I earn PowerUP to Wellness rewards?You can earn PowerUP to Wellness rewards and incentives by completing specific required actions. Completing the Health Screening, Well-Being Assessment, and Creating a Personal Goal are the gateway items to earning rewards and incentives.

Go to https://MHPSA.mywellmetrics.com to get started.

Can my employer see my results on PowerUP to Wellness?Your participation in the wellness program is completely confidential and secure. We are committed to protecting your personal health information. Our third-party wellness vendor, ADURO, is bound by legal contractual obligations to ensure the confidentiality of the information you provide through the program. ADURO does not rent, share, or sell participants’ information.

MHPSA receives summarized reports from ADURO of the overall state of well-being of our employees. This information will be used to determine target areas to focus MHPSA wellness goals for future years. No one can see your individual responses including our Human Resources department and your manager.

Frequently Asked Questions

Page 39: Employee Benefits Guide - Home | Mitsubishi Hitachi … Benefits Guide 2 MHPSA Employee Benefits This booklet describes the principal features of the benefit plans sponsored by MHPSA

MHPSA Employee Benefits 39

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)Can I cancel my Health Care FSA or Dependent Care FSA? If so, how and for what reasons? Your life event and type of FSA coverage will determine what options you have for canceling your coverage. In most cases for the Health Care FSA, you will be able to change the annual contribution but not cancel your coverage. In most cases for the Dependent Care FSA, you will be able to change the annual contribution or cancel your coverage.

How quickly will I receive my FSA debit card once I’ve made my elections?You could receive your FSA card within 10 business days from the date your account was set up. You will also receive a welcome email directly from American Benefits Group (ABG) if there is an email address on file for you.

What should I do if I have not received my FSA debit card or need an additional/replacement card?Send an email to [email protected] informing them of your name, account number, and company name and that you have not received your debit card. If you would like an additional or replacement card, please follow the above instructions and indicate you would like to order an additional debit card. You will need to let them know the name of the cardholder. Age restrictions may apply to cardholders.

My child’s day care provider does not accept debit cards. How can I get reimbursed?You will need to complete a claim form and submit it with requested proof directly to ABG. You have two form options:

1. Standard Claim Form: You’ll need to itemize your dependent care expenses and provide a copy of a receipt with each expense listed.

2. Automatic Dependent Care Request Form: You can use this form if you have recurring dependent care with a particular provider. You will use this form if you are receiving dependent care for an extended time period with one provider. You do not need to submit a receipt; you just need to have your provider fill out a portion of the form.

When is the last day I can use my FSA card for the current year?The last day you can use your FSA card for services that occurred during the year is on December 31 of that year. For example, if on December 31, 2016, you went to the doctor and were prescribed medication that you filled that same day and your dependent child went to day care, you could use your FSA card for all three expenses on that day. If you are unable to use your card, you can submit a reimbursement claim directly to ABG.

When is the last day I can submit reimbursement claims for the current year?You can submit reimbursement claims directly to ABG for services that occurred during the year up to March 31 of the next plan year. Claims must be postmarked no later than March 31.

Can I still get reimbursed even if I don’t/can’t use my FSA debit card?You can still get reimbursed for claims even if you were unable to use your FSA debit card during the date of service. You will need to complete a standard claim form and submit it with the requested proof directly to ABG.

Will I receive a new card every plan year, or can I keep my same card if I sign up for the FSA again next year? You will not be issued a new FSA card each year that you sign up for the plan. Your FSA card will be replaced once the expiration date is reached or if you request a replacement card due to it being lost or stolen.

Life/AD&D When will I receive my proof of life insurance? How often will I receive proof? The Certificate of Insurance for the group coverage (basic life/AD&D) is located online in your Document Library in the Employee Self-Service Portal Health & Welfare. You can retrieve this at any time as a copy for your records.

For your optional life/AD&D and optional spouse life/AD&D elections, once your request for amounts over the guaranteed issue is approved, you will receive a letter directly from Cigna. This letter is your proof of coverage.

Please remember that an EOI is required for amounts that exceed the guaranteed issued amount.

Emergency Services – Medical, psychiatric, surgical, hospital, and related health care services and testing, including ambulance service, that are required to treat a sudden, unexpected onset of a bodily injury or serious sickness that could reasonably be expected by a prudent layperson to result in serious medical complications, loss of life, or permanent impairment to bodily functions in the absence of immediate medical attention. Examples of emergency situations include uncontrolled bleeding, seizures or loss of consciousness, shortness of breath, chest pains or severe squeezing sensations in the chest, suspected overdose of medication or poisoning, sudden paralysis or slurred speech, burns, cuts, and broken bones. The symptoms that led you to believe you needed emergency care, as coded by the provider and recorded by the hospital, or the final diagnosis – whichever reasonably indicated an emergency medical condition – will be the basis for the determination of coverage provided such symptoms reasonably indicate an emergency.

Evidence of Insurability (EOI) – Proof that you are insurable based on the requirements of the insurance carrier. For example, the results of a blood test or a doctor’s signature on a form may be required for you to be covered by/for Optional Life insurance.

Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) – The Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) is an employer-funded account that reimburses you for eligible out-of-pocket medical expenses. The HRA is only available to employees who are enrolled in the HRA Plan.

In-Network/Out-of-Network – The term “in-network” refers to health care services or items provided by your Primary Care Physician (PCP) or services/items provided by another participating provider and authorized by your PCP or the review organization. Authorization by your PCP or the review organization is not required in the case of mental health and substance abuse treatment other than hospital confinement solely for detoxification.

The term “out-of-network” refers to care that does not qualify as in-network.

Emergency care that meets the definition of “emergency services” and is authorized as such by either the PCP or the review organization is considered in-network.

Medically Necessary/Medical Necessity – Required to diagnose or treat an illness, injury, disease, or its symptoms; in accordance with generally accepted standards of medical practice; clinically appropriate in terms of type, frequency, extent, site, and duration; not primarily for the convenience of the patient, physician, or other health care provider; and rendered in the least intensive setting that is appropriate for the delivery of the services and supplies.

Participating Provider – A hospital, physician, or any other health care practitioner or entity that has a direct or indirect contractual arrangement with Cigna to provide covered services with regard to a particular plan under which the participant is covered.

Post-Tax – An option to have the payment to your benefits deducted from your gross pay after your taxes have been withheld. Therefore, your tax contributions will be calculated based on a higher amount. Your statutory deductions (federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare) will be calculated based on a higher amount.

Pre-Tax – An option to have the payment to your benefits deducted from your gross pay before your taxes have been withheld. Therefore, your tax contributions will be calculated based on a lesser amount. Your statutory deductions (federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare) will be calculated based on a lesser amount.
