3 The benefits of Original Medicare plus additional coverage Health benefits and Medicare prescription drug coverage all in one plan Blue Medicare HMO and Blue Medicare PPO plans can provide you with more coverage than Original Medicare and help limit your out-ofpocket costs. And since Medicare prescription drug (Part D) coverage is built right into most plans, there s no need to buy one plan for enhanced medical benefits and another plan for your Medicare prescription drug benefits. Additional benefits that help limit your out-of-pocket costs Both Blue Medicare HMO and Blue Medicare PPO plans offer coverage for: + Inpatient/outpatient services + Skilled nursing facility care + Home health care + Worldwide emergency medical care + Ambulance and urgent care + Preventive care + And more Choices to meet your needs and budget Blue Medicare HMO offers you health coverage within an extensive network of doctors and specialists 2 that you can see without referrals. You can also select a plan with $0 monthly premiums* with or without Part D coverage. 3 Blue Medicare PPO gives you the freedom to see providers in or out of network. 4 You can see specialists without a referral, and all medically necessary benefits are covered in and out of network. All PPO plans include Part D coverage. 3 Footnotes: 2 You must use the plan s providers except in emergency or urgent care situations or for out-of-area renal dialysis. If you obtain routine care from out-of-network providers neither Medicare nor BCBSNC will be responsible for the costs. 3 Formulary applies for all plans that include Medicare prescription drug coverage. 4 With the exception of emergency or urgent care, member liability with Blue Medicare PPO may be greater for services received out-of-network than services received in-network. Many out-of-network services are subject to coinsurance, which are based on the Medicare allowed amount and not on the potentially lower contract amount. * Rate is for Blue Medicare HMO Standard and Blue Medicare HMO Medical-Only plans, PAGE 3 of 120

7 Understanding your Part D benefits Medicare offers prescription drug (Part D) coverage to help you pay for your prescription drugs. With this coverage, you can fill your prescriptions at participating pharmacies close to where you live. You may go to any participating pharmacy, but you will see your greatest savings by going to one of our preferred pharmacies. BCBSNC s Preferred Pharmacy Network includes CVS, Walmart, Kerr and Epic Pharmacies. This select network of national and local independent pharmacies has worked with BCBSNC to get you the savings and value that you are looking for by offering lower costs and better value from your prescription plan, without sacrificing convenience. Our plans also offer the convenience of using the preferred mail-order pharmacy at a reduced cost to you. You pay a $3 copay for a 30 day supply of preferred generic drugs ordered through mail order, and a $0 copay for a 60-day and 90-day supply of covered preferred generic drugs. Medicare prescription drug coverage is available with most Blue Medicare HMO and Blue Medicare PPO plans. That means you can have your medical benefits and prescription drug coverage with one plan, for one premium. (You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium.) Please review the preferred and non-preferred benefit charts to understand the Part D benefits that are included with the Blue Medicare HMO and Blue Medicare PPO benefits. The total amount you spend on prescription drugs increases during the calendar year as you move through some or all of the phases of coverage.

20 Coverage determinations, appeals and grievances for prescription drug coverage (continued) Notice of possible contract termination Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina is an HMO and PPO plan with a Medicare contract. Enrollment in Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina depends on contract renewal. CMS is the government agency that runs Medicare. This contract renews each year. At the end of each year, the contract is reviewed and BCBSNC or CMS can decide to end it. Members will get a 90-day advance, written notice in this situation. It is also possible for our contract to end at some other time. If the contract is going to end, we will generally tell members 90 days in advance. Advance notice may be as little as 30 days or even fewer days if CMS ends our contract in the middle of the year. In this notice, we would provide a written description of alternatives available for obtaining Medicare services within the service area. We are also required to notify the general public of a contract termination via local newspapers. If BCBSNC decides to stop offering Medicare Advantage plans or change our service area so that it no longer includes the area where you live, membership in Medicare Advantage plans will end for everyone in that service area, and members will have to change to a different plan. Members will continue to get services through BCBSNC until the contract ends. The benefit information provided is a brief summary, not a complete description of benefits. For more information contact the plan. Additional information about benefits is available to assist you in making a decision about your coverage. This is an advertisement; for more information contact the plan. Benefits, premium and/or copayment/ coinsurance may change on January 1 of each year. Please contact BCBSNC for details.

22 Section 1 Introduction to Summary of Benefits Thank you for your interest in Blue Medicare HMO (HMO) plans. Our plans are offered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, a Medicare Advantage Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) that contracts with the Federal government. This Summary of Benefits tells you some features of our plans. It doesn t list every service that we cover or list every limitation or exclusion. To get a complete list of our benefits, please call Blue Medicare HMO and ask for the Evidence of Coverage. You have choices in your health care As a Medicare beneficiary, you can choose from different Medicare options. One option is the Original (fee-for-service) Medicare Plan. Another option is a Medicare health plan, like Blue Medicare HMO plans. You may have other options too. You make the choice. No matter what you decide, you are still in the Medicare Program. You may join or leave a plan only at certain times. Please call Blue Medicare HMO at the telephone number listed at the end of this introduction or MEDICARE ( ) for more information. TTY/TDD users should call You can call this number 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. How can I compare my options? You can compare Blue Medicare HMO plans and the Original Medicare Plan using this Summary of Benefits. The charts in this booklet list some important health benefits. For each benefit, you can see what our plans cover and what the Original Medicare Plan covers. Our members receive all of the benefits that the Original Medicare Plan offers. We also offer more benefits, which may change from year to year. Where are Blue Medicare HMO plans available? The service area for these plans includes: Alamance, Alexander, Alleghany, Anson, Ashe, Avery, Beaufort, Bertie, Bladen, Brunswick, Buncombe, Cabarrus, Caldwell, Carteret, Caswell, Catawba, Chatham, Chowan, Cleveland, Columbus, Cumberland, Davidson, Davie, Duplin, Durham, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Franklin, Gaston, Gates, Granville, Greene, Guilford, Halifax, Harnett, Haywood, Henderson, Hertford, Hoke, Hyde, Iredell, Johnston, Jones, Lee, Lincoln, Madison, Martin, McDowell, Mecklenburg, Mitchell, Montgomery, Nash, New Hanover, Northampton, Onslow, Orange, Pamlico, Pender, Perquimans, Person, Pitt, Polk, Randolph, Richmond, Robeson, Rockingham, Rowan, Sampson, Scotland, Stanly, Stokes, Surry, Transylvania, Tyrrell, Union, Vance, Wake, Warren, Washington, Watauga, Wayne, Wilkes, Wilson, Yadkin, Yancey Counties, NC. You must live in one of these areas to join the plan. Who is eligible to join Blue Medicare HMO? You can join Blue Medicare HMO plans if you are entitled to Medicare Part A and enrolled in Medicare Part B and live in the service area. However, individuals with End-Stage Renal Disease generally are not eligible to enroll in Blue Medicare HMO plans unless they are members of our organization and have been since their dialysis began. Can I choose my doctors? Blue Medicare HMO plans have formed a network of doctors, specialists, and hospitals. You can only use doctors who are part of our network. The health providers in our network can change at any time. You can ask for a current provider directory. For an updated list, visit us at com/medicare. Our customer service number is listed at the end of this introduction. What happens if I go to a doctor who s not in your network? If you choose to go to a doctor outside of our network, you must pay for these services yourself. Neither the plan nor the Original Medicare Plan will pay for these services except in limited situations (for example, emergency care). Where can I get my prescriptions if I join one of these plans? Blue Medicare HMO plans have formed a network of pharmacies. You must use a network pharmacy to receive plan benefits. We may not pay for your prescriptions if you use an out-ofnetwork pharmacy, except in certain cases. The pharmacies in our network can change at any time. You can ask for a pharmacy directory or PAG E 22 of 120

23 visit us at MyPrime/MedicareD/pharmacy/BCBSNC. Our customer service number is listed at the end of this introduction. Blue Medicare HMO plans have a list of preferred pharmacies. At these pharmacies, you may get your drugs at a lower co-pay or co-insurance. You may go to a non-preferred pharmacy, but you may have to pay more for your prescription drugs. What if my doctor prescribes less than a month's supply? In consultation with your doctor or pharmacist, you may receive less than a month's supply of certain drugs. Also, if you live in a long-term care facility, you will receive less than a month's supply of certain brand and generic drugs. Dispensing fewer drugs at a time can help reduce cost and waste in the Medicare Part D program, when this is medically appropriate. The amount you pay in these circumstances will depend on whether you are responsible for paying coinsurance (a percentage of the cost of the drug) or a copay (a flat dollar amount for the drug). If you are responsible for coinsurance for the drug, you will continue to pay the applicable percentage of the drug cost. If you are responsible for a copay for the drug, a "daily cost-sharing rate" will be applied. If your doctor decides to continue the drug after a trial period, you should not pay more for a month's supply than you otherwise would have paid. Contact your plan if you have questions about costsharing when less than a one-month supply is dispensed. Does my plan cover Medicare Part B or Part D drugs? Most Blue Medicare HMO plans cover both Medicare Part B prescription drugs and Medicare Part D prescription drugs. However, Blue Medicare HMO Medical only covers Medicare Part B prescription drugs, but does NOT cover Medicare Part D prescription drugs. What is a prescription drug formulary? Most Blue Medicare HMO plans use a formulary. A formulary is a list of drugs covered by your plan to meet patient needs. We may periodically add, remove, or make changes to coverage limitations on certain drugs or change how much you pay for a drug. If we make any formulary change that limits our members ability to fill their prescriptions, we will notify the affected members before the change is made. We will send a formulary to you and you can see our complete formulary on our Web site at: If you are currently taking a drug that is not on our formulary or subject to additional requirements or limits, you may be able to get a temporary supply of the drug. You can contact us to request an exception or switch to an alternative drug listed on our formulary with your physician s help. Call us to see if you can get a temporary supply of the drug or for more details about our drug transition policy. How can I get extra help with my prescription drug plan costs or get extra help with other Medicare costs? You may be able to get extra help to pay for your prescription drug premiums and costs as well as get help with other Medicare costs. To see if you qualify for getting extra help, call: MEDICARE ( ) TTY/TDD users should call , 24 hours a day/7 days a week; and see 'Programs for People with Limited Income and Resources' in the publication Medicare & You.

A plan may continue in their entire service area (geographic area where the plan accepts members) or choose to (continued on the next page) PAG E 23 of 120

The letter will explain your options for Medicare coverage in your area.

Our plans are offered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, a Medicare Advantage Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) that contracts with the Federal government.

To get a complete list of our benefits, please call Blue Medicare PPO and ask for the Evidence of Coverage. You have choices in your health care As a Medicare beneficiary, you can choose from different Medicare options. One option is the Original (Fee-For-Service) Medicare Plan. Another option is a Medicare health plan, like Blue Medicare PPO plans. You may have other options too. You make the choice. No matter what you decide, you are still in the Medicare Program. You may be able to join or leave a plan only at certain times. Please call Blue Medicare PPO at the number listed at the end of this introduction or MEDICARE ( ) for more information. TTY/TDD users should call You can call this number 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. How can I compare my options? You can compare Blue Medicare PPO plans and the Original Medicare Plan using this Summary of Benefits. The charts in this booklet list some important health benefits. For each benefit, you can see what our plans cover and what the Original Medicare Plan covers. Our members receive all of the benefits that the Original Medicare Plan offers. We also offer more benefits, which may change from year to year. Where are Blue Medicare PPO plans available? The service area for these plans includes: Alamance, Alexander, Alleghany, Anson, Ashe, Avery, Beaufort, Bertie, Bladen, Brunswick, Buncombe Cabarrus, Caldwell, Carteret, Caswell, Catawba, Chatham, Chowan, Cleveland, Columbus, Cumberland, Davidson, Davie, Duplin, Durham, Edgecombe, Forsyth, Franklin, Gaston, Gates, Granville, Greene, Guilford, Halifax, Harnett, Haywood, Henderson, Hertford, Hoke, Hyde, Iredell, Johnston, Jones, Lee, Lincoln, Madison, Martin, McDowell, Mecklenburg, Mitchell, Montgomery, Nash, New Hanover, Northampton, Onslow, Orange, Pamlico, Pender, Perquimans, Person, Pitt, Polk, Randolph, Richmond, Robeson, Rockingham, Rowan, Sampson, Scotland, Stanly, Stokes, Surry, Transylvania, Tyrrell, Union, Vance, Wake, Warren, Washington, Watauga, Wayne, Wilkes, Wilson, Yadkin, Yancey Counties, NC. You must live in one of these areas to join one of the plans. Who is eligible to join Blue Medicare PPO plans? You can join Blue Medicare PPO if you are entitled to Medicare Part A and enrolled in Medicare Part B and live in the service area. However, individuals with End-Stage Renal Disease generally are not eligible to enroll in Blue Medicare PPO plans unless they are members of our organization and have been since their dialysis began. Can I choose my doctors? Blue Medicare PPO plans have formed a network of doctors, specialists, and hospitals. You can use any doctor who is part of our network. You may also go to doctors outside of our network. The health providers in our network can change at any time. You can ask for a current provider directory. For an updated list, visit us at medicare. Our customer service number is listed at the end of this introduction. What happens if I go to a doctor who s not in your network? You can go to doctors, specialists, or hospitals in or out of network. You may have to pay more for the services you receive outside the network, and you may have to follow special rules prior to getting services in and/or out of network. For more information, please call the customer service number at the end of this introduction. Where can I get my prescriptions if I join one of these plans? Blue Medicare PPO plans have formed a network of pharmacies. You must use a network pharmacy to receive plan benefits. We may not pay for your prescriptions if you use an out-of-network pharmacy, except in certain cases. The pharmacies in our network can change at any time. (continued on the next page) PAGE 72 of 120

73 You can ask for a pharmacy directory or visit us at MyPrime/MedicareD/pharmacy/BCBSNC. Our customer service number is listed at the end of this introduction. Blue Medicare PPO plans have a list of preferred pharmacies. At these pharmacies, you may get your drugs at a lower co-pay or co-insurance. You may go to a non-preferred pharmacy, but you may have to pay more for your prescription drugs. What if my doctor prescribes less than a month's supply? In consultation with your doctor or pharmacist, you may receive less than a month's supply of certain drugs. Also, if you live in a long-term care facility, you will receive less than a month's supply of certain brand and generic drugs. Dispensing fewer drugs at a time can help reduce cost and waste in the Medicare Part D program, when this is medically appropriate. The amount you pay in these circumstances will depend on whether you are responsible for paying coinsurance (a percentage of the cost of the drug) or a copay (a flat dollar amount for the drug). If you are responsible for coinsurance for the drug, you will continue to pay the applicable percentage of the drug cost. If you are responsible for a copay for the drug, a "daily cost-sharing rate" will be applied. If your doctor decides to continue the drug after a trial period, you should not pay more for a month's supply than you otherwise would have paid. Contact your plan if you have questions about cost-sharing when less than a one-month supply is dispensed. Does my plan cover Medicare Part B or Part D drugs? Blue Medicare PPO plans do cover both Medicare Part B prescription drugs and Medicare Part D prescription drugs. What is a prescription drug formulary? Blue Medicare PPO plans use a formulary. A formulary is a list of drugs covered by your plan to meet patient needs. We may periodically add, remove, or make changes to coverage limitations on certain drugs or change how much you pay for a drug. If we make any formulary change that limits our members ability to fill their prescriptions, we will notify the affected members before the change is made.

A plan may continue in their entire service area (geographic area where the plan accepts members) or choose to continue only in certain areas. Also, Medicare may decide to end a contract with a plan. Even if your Medicare Advantage Plan leaves the program, you will not lose Medicare coverage. If a plan decides not to continue for an additional calendar year, it must send you a letter at least 90 days before your coverage will end.

The benefit information provided is a brief summary, not a complete description of benefits. For more information contact the plan. Additional information about benefits is available to assist you in making a decision about your coverage. This is an advertisement; for more information contact the plan.
