1 Caring For Those Who Serve 1901 Chestnut Avenue Glenview, Illinois HealthFlex Plan Comparison: PPO B1000 with HRA and HDHP H1500 with HSA Please note: This comparison highlights key differences and similarities between the HealthFlex PPO B1000 plan with a health reimbursement account (HRA) and the HDHP H1500 plan with a health savings account (HSA). Please refer to the HealthFlex benefit booklet for more details. Both plans use the same network of providers (physicians, hospitals and other health care providers). Benefits can vary significantly depending on whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network provider. To help offset your out-of-pocket costs, your plan sponsor is offering a health savings account (HSA) or a health reimbursement account (HRA) depending on which plan you select. You can use the HSA or HRA to pay for eligible unreimbursed expenses, such as your deductible and co-insurance amounts described below. If you do not spend all the funds in your HRA or HSA during a calendar year, the remaining amount will roll over to the following year, with no cap on accumulated rolled-over funds as long as you remain eligible for the HSA and/or HRA. Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) available with PPO B1000. Your plan sponsor funds HRA accounts annually based on individual or family coverage. You cannot make personal HRA contributions. Health Savings Account (HSA) available with HDHP H1500. Your plan sponsor funds HSA accounts annually based on individual or family coverage. You have the option to make additional HSA contributions on a pre-tax basis. For 2016, the maximum contribution (plan plus optional personal contributions) is $3,350 per year (individual coverage) or $6,750 per year (if covering at least one dependent). (Over age 55: Can make additional $1,000 catch-up contribution per year.) If you select the HDHP H1500 plan, your previously accumulated HRA funds as well as access to medical reimbursement account (MRA, also called health care flexible spending account or FSA) will be limited to dental and vision expenses only. The deductible, co-payment and annual out-of-pocket limit are the participant s share to pay. All other benefits are the amounts or percentages that the plan (HealthFlex) pays for a service. If you do not take the HealthQuotient (HQ) during the 2015 incentive period, your deductible will be increased by $250 (individual coverage) or $500 (family coverage) see Standard Deductible details on page 2 (footnote).

Generally, Tier 1 includes Generic Drugs; Tier 2 includes Formulary Brand-Name Drugs; and Tier 3 includes Non-Formulary Brand-Name Drugs. The formulary is the same for all HealthFlex pharmacy plans. Mandatory Generics: HealthFlex (plan) will cover only the cost of the Generic Drug equivalent. If you request a Brand-Name Drug when there is an equivalent Generic Drug available, you will be charged one amount equal to the applicable Generic Drug Co-payment (e.g., $15 at retail) plus the cost difference between the Brand-Name Drug and the Generic Drug. Retail Refill Allowance (RRA) Program: Under the plan, participants are allowed a total of three fills of a maintenance medication at a Retail Pharmacy (one original fill plus two refills), at which time the medication must be obtained through the OptumRx (formerly Catamaran) Mail-Order Pharmacy. Additional fills at Retail will not be covered by the plan; you will pay for such fills at the full price if a Retail Pharmacy is used, even if it is a Participating (in-network) pharmacy. Each Retail prescription fill can be for no more than a 30-day supply. This summary highlights some of the features of these benefit plans.
