3 What Happens If No Action is Taken? Open enrollment was from October 27, 2014 thru November 14, 2014 Members who did not make an election, either through the web portal or by calling the SHBP Member Services Center, will be defaulted to the Blue Cross Blue Shield HRA option previously selected for 2014, without co-payments If a Member did not make an election and was currently paying the Tobacco Surcharge, his/her coverage will default and the Tobacco Surcharge he/she was paying in 2014 will continue to apply If a Member does not make an election and are currently enrolled in TRICARE Supplement in 2014, he/she will be enrolled in TRICARE Supplement in 2015

4 What Happens If I Do Not Take Action? Retirees who are currently enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (MA) Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Plan Option will be defaulted to the equivalent UnitedHealthcare MA PPO Plan Option Retirees who are currently enrolled in a Non-MA Plan Option will be defaulted to the Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) Plan Option chosen for 2014 without co-payments If you do not make an election and are currently enrolled in TRICARE Supplement in 2014, you will be enrolled in TRICARE Supplement in 2015

5 What’s Changing in 2015? In addition to offering Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia (BCBSGa), UnitedHealthcare and Kaiser Permanente (KP) have been selected to offer SHBP members additional choice and plan options for New Vendors and Plan Option Offerings Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) BCBSGa (Statewide) UnitedHealthcare (Statewide) KP (Metro Atlanta Service Area/In-Network only plan) High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) UnitedHealthcare Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) BCBSGa Medicare Advantage (MA) Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Standard and Premium UnitedHealthcare *Additional Options: TRICARE Supplement, PeachCare for Kids ® Express Scripts (ESI) administers prescription drug pharmacy benefits for members who choose BCBSGa or UnitedHealthcare. Healthways provides well-being resources and incentive programs for members who choose BCBSGa or UnitedHealthcare.

6 What’s Changing in 2015, continued Enhanced Benefits Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for Autism Effective January 1, 2015, SHBP will provide limited coverage for medically necessary ABA treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder Maximum benefit of $35,000 per year per approved member (through age 10) Co-payments, deductibles and/or co-insurance may apply Bariatric Pilot The Georgia Legislature has established a pilot program to provide benefit coverage for certain bariatric surgical procedures for the treatment and management of obesity and related conditions Effective January 1, 2015, the pilot program is limited to 75 non-Medicare Advantage members for the 2015 Plan Year Qualified applicants will be randomly selected by the vendors for which they are enrolled. Hearing Aids Benefit allowance for hearing aids has increased for children up to age 19 from $1,500 to $3,000 every five years Incentive Accounts Includes well-being incentive credits that accompany the HMO and HDHP Plan Options. Credits can be earned by completing certain health actions Credits can be used to help offset certain health care costs such as co-payments and deductibles

7 Understanding Plan Options for 2015 How the Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) Works The HRA provides first-dollar coverage for eligible medical and pharmacy expenses and is funded by SHBP. When going to the doctor, members will not pay a co-payment. Instead, members pay the applicable deductible and co-insurance. If members have remaining credits in his/her current HRA account, those credits will roll over to the next Plan Year as long as he/she remains enrolled in an HRA option.* Plan pays 100% of covered services provided by in-network providers that are properly coded as “preventive care”. Members must meet separate in-network and out-of-network deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums Members are not required to select a Primary Care Physician (PCP) or obtain referrals to a Specialist (SPC) The credits in his/her HRA account are used to help meet their deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums The medical and pharmacy out-of-pocket maximums are combined Certain drug costs are waived if SHBP is primary and you actively participate in one of the Disease Management Programs for diabetes, asthma and/or coronary artery disease Plan Features *Note: If the member does not enroll in an HRA Plan Option in 2015, any remaining HRA dollars from 2014 are forfeited.

8 Understanding Plan Options for 2015, continued How the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) Works The HDHP offers in-network and out-of-network benefits, and has a low monthly premium. However, members must satisfy a high deductible that applies to all covered medical and pharmacy expenses (except preventive care). If members have any dependents, the entire family deductible must be met before benefits are payable for any family member. Also, members may qualify for a Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for eligible health care expenses. Plan pays 100% of covered services provided by in-network providers that are properly coded as “preventive care” You must meet separate in-network and out-of-network deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums You pay co-insurance after meeting the entire deductible for covered medical and pharmacy expenses The medical and pharmacy out-of-pocket maximums are combined There are no co-payments The HSA cannot be combined with a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Plan Features

9 Understanding Plan Options for 2015, continued How the Statewide Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Works An HMO allows members to receive covered medical services from in-network providers only (except for emergency care). It is important to verify your current provider is in-network when selecting an HMO Plan Option. Plan pays 100% of covered services provided by in-network providers that are properly coded as “preventive care” Certain services are subject to a deductible and co-insurance Members are not required to obtain referrals to see a Specialist (SPC), but are encouraged to select a Primary Care Physician (PCP) to help coordinate your care The medical and pharmacy out-of-pocket maximums are combined Co-payments count toward members’ out-of-pocket maximum Certain drug costs are waived if SHBP is primary and members actively participate in one of the Disease Management Programs for diabetes, asthma and/or coronary artery disease Plan Features

10 Understanding Plan Options for 2015, continued How the Regional Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) by Kaiser Permanente (KP) Works The KP Regional HMO Plan Option is available to SHBP eligible members who live or work in one of the 27 counties within the defined Metro Atlanta Service Area.* Plan pays 100% of covered services provided by in-network providers that are properly coded as “preventive care” KP administers the benefits for medical, pharmacy and wellness No deductibles The medical and pharmacy out-of-pocket maximums are combined Co-payment only option *Barrow, Bartow, Butts, Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, Dawson, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Haralson, Heard, Henry, Lamar, Meriwether, Newton, Paulding, Pickens, Pike, Rockdale, Spalding, Walton Plan Features

11 What’s Changing in 2015 for MA? 2015 Medicare Advantage (MA) Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Plan Options What is the MA PPO Plan Option? The MA PPO Plan Option is an approved plan by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and is sometimes called a Part C Plan.
