7 BENEFITSPLUS summary Effective January 1, 2013, there will be three options for medical coverage available under the BenefitsPlus program designed to give you the ability to make choices that best fit your family s needs. All BenefitsPlus programs will be administered by UnitedHealthcare in All Employees will receive new insurance ID cards in early January. Choice Plus Plan: The BenefitsPlus EPO and PPO options are being combined to form the Choice Plus Plan. The Choice Plus Plan offers network benefits and non-network benefits, although it pays more for services provided by network providers. It includes copays for office visits and generic drugs and pays a percentage of the costs for other medical care as well as non-generic drugs. Choice Plan C: Medical Plan C is being renamed Choice Plan C. Modifications include but are not limited to: Employees will pay monthly contributions (see Medical Monthly Contributions chart). The Out-of-pocket maximum for Employee coverage will decrease while the Out-of-pocket maximum for Family coverage will increase. Generic and non-preferred prescription drugs coinsurance remains unchanged, however the amount the Employee pays for preferred brand prescriptions will increase. Health Savings Plan (HSP): The Health Savings Plan (HSP): The Health Savings Plan is a new medical option that offers low monthly contributions, but notably higher deductible and higher coinsurance requirements. Employees in the Health Savings Plan are responsible for the full cost of all healthcare expenses (other than qualified preventive care) until the higher deductible and coinsurance are satisfied. The Health Savings Plan has: The option to contribute to a tax-advantaged Health Savings Account (HSA). See below for more details Lower monthly upfront contributions compared to the other BenefitsPlus options. The amount saved on monthly contributions can be contributed to a Health Savings Account. Higher deductibles compared to the other BenefitsPlus options. The deductible in the Health Savings Plan works differently than the deductibles in the other BenefitsPlus medical options. With Employee Only coverage in the Health Savings Plan, the Employee will be subject to the Employee Only deductible of $1,500. With any other coverage level besides Employee Only (including any Committed Partner coverage), the Family deductible of $3,000 must be met. Unlike the other BenefitsPlus options, there is no deductible for individual Family members. There is only one deductible for the entire Family that is significantly higher than the other BenefitsPlus options. Out-of-Pocket maximums. Your Out-of-pocket maximum is the maximum amount you pay during a calendar year for covered charges. The Out-ofpocket maximum is applied to you and each covered Dependent you add to coverage. Once you have paid your deductible, and in addition, reached the coinsurance annual Out-of-pocket maximum, the Health Savings Plan will cover 100% of all eligible expenses for the reminder of the calendar year. The Out-of-pocket maximum excludes deductibles. A unique prescription drug benefit. Under the Health Savings Plan, certain BenefitsPlus preventive prescription drugs are covered at 80% before the deductible is met. For a list of these preventive prescriptions, go to SWALife on About Me>My Benefits>Information and Forms. For all other prescriptions, the Employee is responsible for the full cost until the medical deductible is met. Coverage for eligible benefits on the autism spectrum, including Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) Therapy. This coverage is only available under the Health Savings Plan option. Treatment associated with autism may be covered, including speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy subject to any plan coverage limitations. Benefits may be denied or shortened for persons not progressing in goal-directed rehabilitation services or if rehabilitation goals were previously met. Benefits under this section are not available for maintenance/ preventive manipulative treatment. All services under this benefit for both in and out-of-network providers require pre-notification or coverage will be denied. To access benefits for autism coverage and to meet the pre-notification requirement, call Clear Skies at ANNUAL ENROLLMENT 7

8 health savings account A Health Savings Account (HSA) is only available under the BenefitsPlus Health Savings Plan option. If you enroll in the Health Savings Plan, you will have the option, if you meet IRS requirements, of opening a Health Savings Account (HSA) to save money for qualified health care expenses. You may choose to open an HSA with any bank. If you open your account with OptumHealth Bank, then the amount that you choose to save can be withheld from your paycheck before taxes and direct deposited to your HSA. If you open an HSA with another bank, you may make contributions directly (for example, by personal check) but payroll deductions will not be available to you. The amount in your HSA is yours to use for qualified medical expenses, including your deductible under the Health Savings Plan. You do not lose amounts in your HSA at the end of the year or when your employment with Southwest ends. It s your money! You may also choose for amounts in your HSA to earn interest and grow tax-free for use on qualified medical expenses in the future. How to Open a Health Savings Account (HSA): To participate in the HSA, you will need to personally open your own account. You can either (i) choose to have Southwest deduct your HSA contributions directly from your paycheck, in which case you must open your own account with OptumHealth Bank (see details below), or (ii) choose to make direct contributions (for example, by personal check) to your HSA in which case you may open a Health Savings Account with the bank of your choice. To open a Health Savings Account with OptumHealth Bank, you must go to to complete the bank s online application including Southwest Airlines Group Number Your elected pre-tax payroll contributions will not begin until you open your account with OptumHealth Bank. Note: You must open an HSA and have funds in your HSA before you can use your account to pay for qualified medical expenses. You may only use your HSA to pay for medical expenses incurred after the account is opened. HSA Eligibility: Most Southwest Employees will be eligible to open a Health Savings Account; however, federal tax law limits participation in a Health Savings Account in some circumstances. Make sure you understand these limitations before you make your elections. These eligibility requirements only apply to the Health Savings Account not the Health Savings Plan option. If you enroll in the Health Savings Plan intending to open a Health Savings Account, but then determine you are not eligible for the Health Savings Account, you will not be able to change to another medical option until Annual Enrollment for To be eligible to open a Health Savings Account (HSA): You may ONLY have medical coverage under an eligible high deductible health plan (HDHP) the Southwest Health Savings Plan. o You may not have coverage under a spouse s non-hdhp. o You may not be enrolled in Medicare (Part A or B), TRICARE or TRICARE for Life, even as secondary coverage. (If you are eligible for Medicare, but not enrolled, then you are eligible to contribute to an HSA.) o You must not have received Veteran Administration (VA) Benefits within three months of making any contribution to your Health Savings Account. You may not be claimed as a dependent on someone else s tax return. You, and your spouse (if any), may not contribute to a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (including Southwest s Health Care Flexible Spending Account). However, you may contribute to a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account. Note: Although a Committed Partner can be covered under the Health Savings Plan, under federal tax rules, the Committed Partner s medical expenses usually will not constitute qualified medical expenses that can be paid or reimbursed out of a Health Savings Account ANNUAL ENROLLMENT

9 BenefitsPlus 2013 Monthly medical Contributions You may enroll in medical, dental, and vision options independently of each other and each option selected has its own monthly contribution as shown in the charts below.

14 regular plan REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT WHEN CHANGING FROM THE REGULAR PLAN TO BENEFITSPLUS (OR FROM BENEFITSPLUS TO THE REGULAR PLAN): Reminder: There are two programs available for benefits coverage BenefitsPlus and the Regular Plan. If you would like to switch coverage from the Regular Plan to BenefitsPlus or from BenefitsPlus to the Regular Plan, you must contact Health & Welfare Benefits before using the online enrollment tool so that you can be registered with the desired program. You will be required to complete a Benefits Request for Program Change Form. You must allow 24 hours to process your Benefits Request for Program Change Form before you enroll in the desired program using the online enrollment tool. Note: If you switch from the BenefitsPlus program to the Regular Plan, you and your family members over the age of 19 may be subject to a three-month pre-existing condition limitation. Effective January 1, 2013, UnitedHealthcare will administer the Regular Plan (not Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas). You will receive a new medical ID card in January HEALTH CARE REFORM REQUIRED LEGAL NOTICE: The Southwest Airlines Co. Funded Welfare Benefit Plan believes the Regular Plan Benefit Program is a grandfathered health plan under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care Act ). As permitted by the Affordable Care Act, a grandfathered health plan can preserve certain basic health coverage that was already in effect when that law was enacted. Being a grandfathered health plan means that coverage under the Regular Plan Benefit Program may not include certain consumer protections of the Affordable Care Act that apply to the BenefitsPlus program options, for example, the requirement for the provision of preventive health services without any cost sharing. However, grandfathered health plans must comply with certain other consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act, for example, the elimination of lifetime limits on benefits. Questions regarding which protections apply and which protections do not apply to a grandfathered health plan and what might cause a plan to change from grandfathered health plan status can be directed to Health & Welfare Benefits by ing askbenefits@ wnco.com or phoning You may also contact the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor at or www. dol.gov/ebsa/healthreform. This website has a table summarizing which protections do and do not apply to grandfathered health plan. IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO CONSIDER ABOUT THE REGULAR PLAN: The Regular Plan either does not offer, or offers but limits, many of the benefits that may be available under BenefitsPlus. You should carefully review these limitations before selecting this option. Preventive services such as physicals, mammograms, and colonoscopies are not covered. Basic medical and dental coverage is available but it is more limited than under BenefitsPlus. Mail order prescriptions are not available.

This means that at the time of your death, your beneficiary will receive a cash payout from MetLife that is equal to the level of coverage you selected. The cost of your premium depends on your age as of December 31 of the Plan Year. Age Bands that determine premium level BenefitsPlus Optional Life Insurance Premiums < 25 $.023 per $1,000 of coverage $.023 per $1,000 of coverage $.028 per $1,000 of coverage $.051 per $1,000 of coverage $.079 per $1,000 of coverage $.147 per $1,000 of coverage $.255 per $1,000 of coverage $.493 per $1,000 of coverage 70+ $.793 per $1,000 of coverage SPOUSE/COMMITTED PARTNER LIFE INSURANCE: Southwest offers this life insurance option to help provide for your family in the event of the death of your Spouse/Committed Partner.

19 LIFE INSURANCE (continued) CHILD LIFE INSURANCE: Southwest offers this life insurance option to help provide for unexpected expenses that may arise in the event of your child s death. If you are enrolled in BenefitsPlus, then you may elect Child Life Insurance coverage in the amount of $10,000 with a monthly premium of $.50 or $20,000 with a monthly premium of $1.00. If you are enrolled in the Regular Plan, then you may elect Child Life Insurance coverage for a monthly premium of $.26 and your coverage level will be $1,000 for each child less than six months of age and $5,000 for each child six months of age or older. Upon the death of your eligible child you will receive a cash payout from MetLife in the amount of coverage you chose. Eligible children include any children from live birth up to age 25 that qualify as an: unmarried child; disabled child; foster child; child placed with you for adoption; or child living in your home as your grandchild, your stepchild, or the child of your Spouse. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT CHILD LIFE INSURANCE: A number of Employees are paying for Child Life Insurance who DO NOT have an eligible child. Removing a child as a dependent for benefits coverage DOES NOT stop the child life insurance deductions. You must also go through the Online Annual Enrollment Tool to remove child life insurance coverage. It is your responsibility to remove the child from coverage. Statement of Health (SOH) Requirements: To increase Optional Life Insurance and/or Spouse/Committed Partner Life Insurance from the level you selected for 2012, you and/or your Spouse/Committed Partner must complete a Statement of Health (SOH) with MetLife after you complete the Annual Enrollment process. It is your responsibility to complete this step following enrollment. Your coverage level(s) will not be increased if you do not submit the SOH(s) in accordance with MetLife s requirements. To make the transition process to MetLife a little easier, for the 2013 Annual Enrollment period, the SOH will be a short form consisting of only five questions. Responses to the short form will determine if you and/or your Spouse/Committed Partner need to complete the long form and/or be required to submit a medical exam. Any increase in Optional Life Insurance and/or Spouse/Committed Partner Life Insurance will be suspended until MetLife approves or denies your increased coverage. You will receive a notification from MetLife once a determination has been made. Statement of Health Process: If you increase Optional Life Insurance and/or Spouse/Committed Partner Life Insurance, then a web link for the Statement of Health will be ed to your Company address within five business days. The SOH must be completed within thirty days of when the is delivered to your Company address. If not completed, then your 2012 life insurance elections will carry-over to 2013 and your new elections will not take effect. Age 70 Limitations: MetLife limits Optional Life Insurance, Spouse/Committed Partner Life Insurance, and Accidental Death and Dismemberment coverage for individuals over age 70; therefore, effective January 1 of the year you or your Spouse will reach age 70, as applicable, your coverage amount for the applicable program will be reduced by 50% (regardless of whether your election rolls over or you affirmatively elect a coverage level during Annual Enrollment) and your premiums will be adjusted accordingly ANNUAL ENROLLMENT 19
