Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act Notice

The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 requires group health plans to make certain

benefits available to participants who have undergone a mastectomy. In particular, a plan must

offer mastectomy patients benefits 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

Treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedema

Our plan complies with these requirements. Benefits for these items generally are comparable to

those provided under our plan for similar types of medical services and supplies. Of course, the

extent to which any of these items is appropriate following mastectomy is a matter to be

determined by the patient and her physician. Our plan neither imposes penalties (for example,

reducing or limiting reimbursements) nor provides incentives to induce attending providers to

provide care inconsistent with these requirements. If you would like more information about

WHCRA required coverage, you can contact the plan administrator.

Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act Notice

Under federal law known as the “Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act of 1996”

(Newborns’ Act) group health plans and health insurance issuers generally may not 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 issuer for

prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours (or 96 hours).

Reminder of Availability of HIPAA Privacy Notice

The Salt Lake Community College Health Plan (the “Plan”) provides health benefits to eligible

employees of Salt Lake Community College (the “Company”) and their eligible dependents as

described in the summary plan description for the Plan. The Plan creates, receives, uses,

maintains and discloses health information about participating employees and dependents in the

course of providing these health benefits. The Plan is required by law to provide notice to

participants of the Plan’s duties and privacy practices with respect to covered individuals’

protected health information, and has done so by providing the Plan participants a Notice of

Privacy Practices, which describes the ways that the Plan uses and discloses PHI.

To receive a copy of the Salt Lake Community College Notice of Privacy Practices, please go to

www.slcc.edu.

Mental Health Parity Exemption

Notice to Enrollees in a Self-Funded Nonfederal Governmental Group Health Plan

Group health plans sponsored by State and local governmental employers must generally comply

with Federal law requirements in title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act. However, these

employers are permitted to elect to exempt a plan from the requirements listed below for any part

of the plan that is "self-funded" by the employer, rather than provided through a health insurance

policy. Salt Lake Community College has elected to exempt the Salt Lake Community College

medical plans from the following requirement:

Protections against having benefits for mental health and substance use disorders be subject to

more restrictions than apply to medical and surgical benefits covered by the plan.

The exemption from this Federal requirement will be in effect for the July 1, 2016 – June 30,

2017 plan year. The election may be renewed for subsequent plan years.

5

Special Enrollment Rights

If 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 toward your or your dependents’ other coverage). However,

you must request enrollment no later than 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 no later than 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption.

Effective April 1, 2009, if either of the following two events occur, you will have 60 days from

the date of the event to request enrollment in your employer’s plan:

Your dependents lose Medicaid or CHIP coverage because they are no longer eligible.

Your dependents become eligible for a state’s premium assistance program.

To take advantage of special enrollment rights, you must experience a qualifying event and

provide the employer plan with timely notice of the event and your enrollment request.

To request special enrollment or obtain more information, contact the Salt Lake Community

College Human Resource Dept. at 801-957-4704.

Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA)

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, 2015.

Important Notice From Salt Lake Community College 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 Salt Lake Community College 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. Salt Lake Community College has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by

the Salt Lake Community College Health Plan 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 15th to 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 Salt Lake Community College coverage

will not be affected. If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Salt

Lake Community College coverage, be aware that you and your dependents may not be able to

get this coverage back.

11

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 Salt Lake Community

College 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.

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. NOTE: You’ll get this notice each year.

You will also get it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if this

coverage through Salt Lake Community College 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:

Visit www.medicare.gov.

Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program and for personalized help

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

If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug

coverage is available. For information about this extra help, visit Social Security on the web at

www.socialsecurity.gov or call them at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

Remember: Keep this Creditable Coverage notice. If you decide to join one of the Medicare drug

plans, you may be required to provide a copy of this notice when you join to show whether or not

you have maintained creditable coverage and, therefore, whether or not you are required to pay a

higher premium (a penalty).
