8 Health Benefits BenefitsPlus Health Benefits General Information NOTE This summary plan description (SPD) describes the health and flexible spending accounts benefits (consisting of medical, dental, vision, employee assistance, and flexible spending accounts benefits) for salaried, non-represented hourly, and union employees identified in Appendix A and replaces all other SPDs.

There are a few important things to note about this SPD: This information is provided to you in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). This SPD does not create a contract of employment between Dresser-Rand Company and any employee. Nothing in this SPD prevents Dresser-Rand from terminating or changing the terms of an employee s employment. The Plan is expected to be continued indefinitely. However, Dresser-Rand reserves the right to amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time. If you have questions after reviewing this document, please contact your Human Resources Representative.

Introduction continued The plans and programs in BenefitsPlus are an important part of your total compensation. If you have questions about any of the rules and descriptions in this booklet, please contact your Human Resources Representative. Eligibility Eligible Employees Only eligible employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the BenefitsPlus portion of the Plan. A detailed description of which employees are eligible and other important information applicable to specific employee locations/classifications are found in the Location/Classification Schedule in Appendix A at the end of this SPD. This means that some employees of the Company are not eligible for BenefitsPlus, or they are eligible for different benefits or programs than those included in this SPD. Some programs also offer coverage to eligible family members of eligible employees. Leased employees, temporary employees, independent contractors, agency employees, persons performing services pursuant to contracts under which they are designated independent contractors regardless of whether they might be deemed common law employees by a court, governmental agency or otherwise, and persons employed by employers other than the Company, are not eligible to participate in the Plan. The Company s classification of a person for purposes of the Plan shall be conclusive. No reclassification of a person s status with the Company for any reason, without regard to whether it is initiated by a court, governmental agency, or otherwise and without regard to whether or not the Company agrees to such reclassification, shall result in the person being considered an eligible employee for Plan purposes. Collectively Bargained Employees If you are covered by a collective bargaining agreement (CBA), you are an eligible employee only if your bargaining unit has negotiated for participation in the Plan. If there is a CBA applicable to you that requires coverage under this Plan, look to the terms of that CBA for your plan benefits and reimbursement rate (to the extent it does not conflict with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act [ERISA] or the Internal Revenue Code). The Location/Classification Schedule found in Appendix A at the end of this SPD identifies your agent and CBA. You and your family members covered by this Plan may examine the CBA at your collective bargaining agent s principal office or meeting hall, or the Human Resources Shared Services office during normal business hours. A copy of the agreement may also be obtained upon written request to Human Resources Shared Services. If there is not a CBA applicable to you, your eligibility requirements are listed on the applicable Location/ Classification Schedule found in Appendix A. Consult your collective bargaining agreement or your Dresser-Rand Human Resources Representative if you have a question about your participation in this Plan. 3

11 Collectively Bargained Employees continued Coverage under the programs described in this booklet will begin on the first of the month after your date of hire. Additional waiting periods apply to some programs, and they are described in this booklet. Records for Eligibility Employment records used to determine eligibility for Plan participation are maintained by the Company s Human Resources group, as well as other records relating to the Plan s self-insured benefits. Eligible Family Members Certain programs will allow you to cover your eligible family members. They are: Your spouse of the opposite sex, by marriage or common-law (when recognized by state law); Your dependent children, including biological, adopted, and other children who live with you in a parent-child relationship and depend on you for more than one-half of his or her annual financial support (e.g., step-child, legal ward), to age 19; or Your children who are full-time students, at an educational organization which normally maintains a regular faculty and curriculum and normally has a regularly enrolled body of students in attendance at the place where its educational activities are regularly carried on (School), until such children reach age 25 (you may be required to provide proof of your child s enrollment from time to time), provided that the child depends on you for more than one-half of his or her financial support. This category will be administered so that your child will remain an eligible family member during a School s regularly scheduled break if such child is enrolled as a full-time student at a School in the semesters immediately before and immediately following the break unless the break follows the month where your child completes all requirements to graduate from the School (Completes School). In the month in which your child Completes School, your child will cease to be an eligible family member at the end of that month in which he/she Completes School unless he/she is enrolled in a School by the end of such month in which he/she Completes School. Medical leave of absence (LOA) exception If your dependent does not meet the full-time student requirements listed above due to being on a physician-certified medical leave of absence, your dependent may remain eligible for benefits if proper documentation is provided. If your dependent meets these criteria, you may be required to provide medical documentation to ensure continuation of coverage. Your children of any age who are totally and permanently disabled (as determined by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois based on the disability criteria described on page 5), and such determination is made during a time when such child would otherwise have been an eligible family member under the Plan and who depends on you for more than one-half of his/her annual financial support. 4

12 Health Benefits Eligible Family Members continued Disability criteria means that such child is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of a medically-determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months. You may be required to provide proof of continued disability from time to time. Enrolling for Coverage General Enrollment Information for BenefitsPlus If you are an eligible employee enrolling in BenefitsPlus, you have several decisions to make based on what program(s) and benefits you are eligible for under the Plan. For instance, when you enroll in the Medical program, you must choose one of the following two available benefit coverage options: PPO Option; or MedicalPlus Option. Both options are described in greater detail in the Medical Program section of this SPD. The benefits and restrictions associated with different benefits provided under BenefitsPlus are discussed in greater detail in the main sections dealing with the specific program options. What If My Spouse and I Both Work for Dresser-Rand? The Plan does not allow double coverage. Only one of you may choose coverage for your eligible children. And if you choose an enrollment category that covers your spouse, your spouse will not be eligible to also choose duplicative coverage under any Companysponsored Plan or program. Please note that the Medical program coverage option you choose applies to all your covered eligible family members. You may change from one Medical program coverage option to another only during a re-enrollment period. If you choose no coverage for the Medical program and you later want to have this coverage, you must wait until the next re-enrollment period, or until you have a qualifying status change, to have this coverage begin. Enrollment Categories Enrollment categories determine which of your eligible family members are covered by a program. You can choose from these enrollment categories for the Medical, Dental, and Vision programs: Employee only; Employee + one; or Employee + family. You may choose a different enrollment category for each of the three programs (Medical, Dental, and Vision). Confirming Your Enrollment Choices Once you have enrolled, you will receive a written confirmation statement of your enrollment choices and of the eligible family members you enrolled for each program. If you find an error on your written confirmation, or if all your eligible family members are not listed, you need to contact your Human Resources Representative immediately. You may not add or drop family members or change benefit options or enrollment categories after your enrollment deadline described in the section entitled When You Enroll. 5

13 When You Enroll For the programs described in this booklet, you must enroll in order for their coverage to begin. There are four times when you may enroll: Initial enrollment period the 30-day period starting on the day you are first hired by Dresser-Rand. Re-enrollment period the annual enrollment period, announced each fall. Qualifying status change enrollment period the 30-day period beginning when you or your eligible family member has a qualifying status change, described below. Special enrollment when you gain a new dependent by marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption: the 30-day period beginning from the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption. If you are rehired within the same Plan Year and are eligible for the Plan, then you may make new elections, provided that you are rehired more than 30 days after you terminated employment. If you are rehired within 30 days or less during the same Plan Year, then your prior elections will be reinstated. Where Can I Get Updates on Coverage and Enrollment Rules? During each annual reenrollment period, you will receive communications that describe the most significant changes for the coming year. Those re-enrollment materials are Plan communications and are incorporated by reference into this document. Qualifying Status Changes With the exception of HSA benefits (for which prospective election changes generally are allowable), you generally cannot change your elections during the Plan Year. This is known as the irrevocability rule. Of course, you can change your elections for benefits and salary reductions during the reenrollment period, but those election changes will apply only for the following Plan Year. However, during the Plan Year, there are several exceptions to the irrevocability rule. For a summary of these rules, please see Appendix B of this SPD. Please note that the Plan Administrator may also reduce your contributions during the Plan Year if you are a key employee or highly compensated individual as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, if necessary to prevent the Plan from becoming discriminatory within the meaning of Federal income tax law. Additionally, if a mistake is made as to your eligibility or participation, the allocations made to your account, or the account of benefits to be paid to you or another person, then the Plan Administrator shall, to the extent that it deems administratively possible and otherwise permissible under applicable law, allocate, withhold, accelerate, or otherwise adjust such amounts as will in its judgment, accord the credits to the account or distributions to which you are, or such other person is, properly entitled under the Plan. Such action by the Plan Administrator may include withholding of any amounts due from your compensation. You may add or drop coverage for any eligible family member during an annual re-enrollment period or when you have a qualifying status change. However, you may change medical coverage options only during an annual re-enrollment period. Information on how to enroll in Dresser-Rand benefits is available on the Web at or you may contact your local Human Resources Representative. 6

14 Health Benefits How Do I Keep My Child Covered At Age 19? If your child is a full-time student (as described on page 4): Change your child s status within 30 days before his/her 19th birthday. Report the status change on the Web at com/benefits, or contact the BenefitsPlus Call Center for assistance. If your child is not a full-time student: Coverage ends on the last day of the month of his/ her 19th birthday. To continue the child s Medical, Dental, or Vision coverage for up to 36 months, your child must choose COBRA; see page 71 for information about COBRA coverage. Request Changes Within 30 Days When you have a qualifying status change, you must request any change in your coverage choices within 30 calendar days of the event. When you gain a new eligible family member, you must add that person within 30 days in order to begin that person s coverage. You must add a newborn s Social Security number within 60 days in order to continue the child s coverage. If you do not enroll a new eligible family member during this 30-day period, you must wait until the next re-enrollment period to begin that person s coverage, unless you have another qualifying status change. Review the confirmation statement you receive from the Plan, and your payroll deductions, to ensure your eligible family member s enrollment is complete. When Coverage Begins When coverage under any program under the Plan begins depends on when you or your eligible family member enroll for that program. People you enroll during your initial enrollment period have coverage beginning on the first day of the month after you become an eligible employee and have begun working (if you become an eligible employee on the first day of the month, your coverage begins on the first day of the following month). People you enroll during a re-enrollment period, rather than when they are first eligible, have coverage beginning on the following January 1. People you enroll during a qualifying status change enrollment period have coverage beginning on the date of their qualifying status change. Paying the Cost of Coverage While you are an active employee, you and the Company share the cost of coverage under the Plan. Contribution rates for non-union participants will be determined for each calendar year by the Company and communicated to the participants during the annual re-enrollment period prior to the calendar year to which the amounts apply. The materials containing these communications are made a part of this SPD by this reference. If you are part of a bargaining unit, your costs are determined by your collective bargaining agreement. For the programs described in this SPD, your contributions generally come from your pay on a before-tax basis. Before-tax contributions come from your pay before Federal income taxes, FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes, and most state and local income taxes are figured. Because your taxes are calculated on a lower amount of taxable income, you pay less tax. This has the effect of reducing the cost of your coverage. When you reduce the amount of your pay that is subject to Social Security taxes, you may also reduce your Social Security benefit. Any benefit reduction, however, should be only slight, and it will likely be more than offset by your reduced taxes. 7

15 Paying the Cost of Coverage continued This chart shows how you and the Company contribute toward the cost of each BenefitsPlus program in this booklet, and whether your contributions come from your pay on a before-tax or after-tax basis. Plan Eligible Employees Company Contribution Your Contribution Medical Yes Before-tax* Dental Yes Before-tax* Vision No Before-tax* Health Care FSA Only if you choose MedicalPlus and you are eligible for Medicare Before-tax* Limited Use FSA None Before-tax* Health Savings Account Yes Before-tax* Dependent Care FSA None Before-tax* * Although such contributions are generally on a before-tax basis, special circumstances may require after-tax contributions to the Plan (such as COBRA payments, Plan operational issues and leaves of absence). 8

16 Health Benefits BenefitsPlus Medical Program This summary is an overview of the BenefitsPlus medical options (Medical program) of the Plan. Do I Have to Choose Medical Coverage? You are not required to be covered by the Medical program, but Dresser-Rand strongly encourages you to have medical coverage from some source at all times. If you choose no coverage under the Medical program, you must wait until the next re-enrollment period to begin coverage unless you have a qualifying status change. For example, you may decline coverage under the Medical program because you have medical coverage through your spouse s employer. If your spouse s job ends and you lose that plan s coverage, you have a qualifying status change and you may enroll in the Dresser-Rand Medical program within 30 days after the date you lost coverage. Please note: In order to be eligible for certain retiree medical coverage, you must be enrolled in a medical coverage option under the Plan on the day before you retire. The eligibility rules for retiree medical coverage are in the section titled Does the Medical Program Cover Retirees? on page 11. You can contact your Human Resources Representative for more information. Summary of Coverage Options The Medical program has two coverage options, both offering separate benefit levels for in-network and out-of-network treatment. The PPO Option provides traditional-style coverage, while the MedicalPlus Option combines high-deductible medical coverage with a health savings account (HSA). When you enroll, you choose one of these options for you and all your covered eligible family members. Medical benefits under both coverage options are administered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBS). Prescription drug benefits under both coverage options are administered by Caremark Inc. (Caremark). 9

How You Receive Care and Benefits Both the PPO and MedicalPlus Options cover the same medical treatments (eligible medical charges) and services provided by laboratories, hospitals, and physicians. They differ primarily in the amount of benefit they provide. All treatment must be medically necessary in order to be an eligible medical charge and covered by the Medical program. The fact that a doctor has prescribed, ordered, recommended, or approved some type of care does not, in itself, make it medically necessary. If you have questions about the necessity of a treatment, please call BCBS before you agree to treatment. BCBS is solely responsible for determining whether any treatment, service, or supply is medically necessary. The Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO Network Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois and the larger Blue Cross Blue Shield organization have established a network of health care providers doctors, hospitals, clinics, laboratories, etc. who have agreements to care for BCBS patients at discounted charges. These Blue Card PPO providers are located all across the country. To find a member of the Blue Card PPO network, see the Web site for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois at: and choose the Provider Finder link. Or you may call BCBS at

20 Health Benefits How Are Pre-Existing Conditions Affected by the Medical Program? The Medical program does not exclude pre-existing conditions from coverage. Neither you nor your eligible family member needs to present a certificate of creditable coverage in order to be covered by the Medical program. What Coverage Information Do I Give to a Provider? Each employee covered by the Medical program gets an identification card from BCBS. It has the information providers need to confirm your coverage and file claims for both medical care and prescription drugs. How Does the Program Cover Inpatient Specialist Care? In-Network Providers Using an in-network provider may save you money. The Medical program s benefits are highest when you use a provider in the Blue Card PPO network; they are described in the in-network column of the Summary of Coverage Options chart beginning on page 10. In-network providers negotiate with BCBS and agree on the fees they will charge for Blue Card PPO network patients. The provider bills you for your share of the negotiated amount only. This means you generally will not receive bills for any additional eligible medical charges when you use an in-network provider. You may also save time by using an in-network provider. Just present your ID card, and the provider uses it to contact BCBS to verify your eligibility and to file your claim with the Medical program. Out-of-Network Providers Providers who are not in the Blue Card PPO network are out-of-network providers. The Medical program pays its lower, out-of-network benefit for care from these providers; they are described in the out-of-network column of the Summary of Coverage Options chart beginning on page 10. Benefits for out-of-network providers are based on the reasonable and customary (R&C) charge for the treatment as determined by BCBS. The Medical program s benefits for out-of-network providers are limited to the R&C level. Many out-of-network providers are contracting providers, meaning they have an agreement with some Blue Cross Blue Shield organization, but not with the Blue Card PPO network. Contracting providers agree not to bill more than the R&C charge and file claims for Blue Card PPO network patients. Out-of-network providers who are not contracting providers may require you to pay them directly for your treatment. You will then need to file a claim to receive your benefits from the Medical program. Your benefits will be based on the R&C charge for your treatment, as determined solely by BCBS, based on charges for covered services in the same geographic area. If your provider s charges are more than the R&C level, you are responsible for paying those excess amounts, in addition to your deductible and coinsurance. Amounts you pay above R&C do not count toward your annual out-of-pocket maximum (Note: terms in italics described on the following pages). If you use an in-network hospital and doctor for inpatient care, all covered physician charges will be eligible for in-network benefits, even for radiologists, anesthesiologists, and pathologists who are not in-network providers. 13
