Benefits Design The decision-making process for determining the structure was made up of the following: Regulatory requirements and Healthcare industry volatility Value proposition Limit complexity Costs: Employee and Employer Self funded Executive review 

4 2018 Benefits – Medical Coverage Overview
The Consumer Choice Plan If you enroll in the comprehensive, high deductible Consumer Choice Plan: Employee (payroll) contributions will be lower than the PPO Plan Eligible medical and pharmacy expenses will accumulate towards the deductible and out-of-pocket maximums You will receive a company contribution to your Health Savings Account (HSA) {$500 for “Single” and $1,000 for “Family” deposited in January of 2018} You may contribute your own, pre-tax monies through payroll deductions to your HSA Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) can only be used to help pay for eligible dental and vision expenses Your HSA monies are never forfeited – they are yours to spend, even if you change plans or after you retire / terminate employment If you have Medicare, Veterans Affairs (VA), Tri-care or other coverage that deems you ineligible for an HSA, you may still enroll in the Consumer Choice Plan but the IRS will not allow for company contributions or your own deferrals into an HSA account

5 2018 Benefits – Medical Coverage Overview
The PPO Plan If you enroll in the comprehensive PPO Plan: The employee (payroll) contributions are higher than the Consumer Choice Plan because the plan pays more for up-front expenses The PPO Plan has copayments which do not exist in the Consumer Choice Plan and lower deductibles than the Consumer Choice Plan Out-of-pocket expenses for each visit are more predictable because of copayments Medical and Prescription drug copays apply only to the out-of-pocket maximum The Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) can be used to get reimbursement for medical, dental and vision out-of-pocket expenses The IRS requires that if you elect the Consumer Choice Plan (HSA) while you have a remaining balance in your HRA, the HRA funds are forfeited
