BENEFITS OVERVIEW FOR THE 2014-2015 PLAN YEAR

Lake Travis Independent School District 2014-2015 Benefits Overview 1 BENEFITS OVERVIEW FOR THE 2014-2015 PLAN YEAR What is Changing Medical Plan Blue Cross and Blue Shield will continue to offer a high and low plan PPO to the staff of Lake Travis ISD. Due to rising medical costs, there was an increase to the premium this year. This increase will be reflected in the payroll deductions depending upon the plan elected. (See page 8.) The Affordable Care Act and You Beginning in January of 2014, every person lawfully residing in the United States is required to carry health insurance. Failure to do so is punishable by a tax penalty assessed on Income Tax Statements filed beginning with the 2014 tax year. The fine for failure to comply with this basic aspect of the law is the greater of 1% of the gross household earnings or $95 per adult and $47.50 per child. Your coverage may be obtained through the employer s plan, an individual plan or the Federal Exchange Marketplace. Lake Travis Independent School District is not obligated to contribute toward any of these methods of obtaining coverage but has chosen to continue to participate in an employer sponsored plan. Lake Travis ISD s coverage offered to its employees meets both Minimum Essential Value and Affordability as defined by ACA. WHAT S STAYING THE SAME Lake Travis ISD Contribution The Board has approved to continue their contribution level of $473.75 for employee medical coverage through Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas. Dental Plan The dental benefits continue to be provided through Assurant Employee Benefits with no change to the premiums. Employees will continue to have a choice between the low plan DMO, known as Heritage Pre- Paid, (must go to a selected dentist) and the high plan PPO, known as Freedom Advance PPO plan (can go to any dentist). The premium rates for the dental options remain the same. Vision Plan Vision coverage will remain with EyeMed with no change in the current premium structure. Disability Plan All employees who earn more than $1,000 per month may enroll in the disability program provided by Assurant Employee Benefits. New participants in the plan with a pre-existing condition will not be turned down for coverage, but may not be covered for the first 24 months.

Lake Travis Independent School District 2014-2015 Benefits Overview 3 WHO IS ELIGIBLE You can participate in the Lake Travis ISD Benefits if you are a regular employee (active or on a paid leave approved by the district) working a minimum of 25 hours per week for the District. Eligible dependents can participate in some benefits plans. Eligible dependents include: Legal spouse Dependent children: o under the age of 26 for medical, dental and vision o under the age of 25 for dependent life insurance, & o under the age of 19 (or 25 if a full-time student) for the critical illness program. Child who qualifies as your dependent under the terms of a qualified medical child support order (QMCSO) DEFINITION OF CHILD: Your child can mean your natural or legally adopted child from the time he or she is placed for adoption. Your child may also be a stepchild, foster child, and any other child for whom you are a legal guardian or any grandchild whom you can claim on your federal income tax return in the year you first covered him or her, and have continuously covered since. COVERAGE LEVELS The levels of coverage under each plan vary and the selections you make affect your per-pay-period cost. You can choose a different level of coverage for each benefit. For example, you may choose: employee + family coverage for medical, employee + spouse for dental and employee only for vision. However, you cannot select coverage for a dependent when you have not chosen coverage for yourself for that benefit selection. WHEN COVERAGE BEGINS For benefits elected during the open enrollment period, your coverage will become effective on November 1, 2014. If you decline coverage for yourself or your dependents, you cannot enroll until the next benefits enrollment period unless you have a qualifying life event or change in status. For benefits you select when you are a new hire or newly eligible for benefits, coverage begins on the first day of the month following your date of hire. If your date of hire is the first day of the month, then your benefits start that day. WHEN YOU CAN MAKE CHANGES In general, you can only change benefits during the year if you have a life event or change in status. Any changes you make for yourself and your dependents must be consistent with and on account of your change in status. For example, you can enroll your newborn in medical coverage, Choose your benefits coverage carefully! In most cases, you cannot change your selections until the next annual enrollment period. but you cannot drop coverage for your spouse or change medical options because of the birth of your child.

Lake Travis Independent School District 2014-2015 Benefits Overview 4 Most coverage changes due to a life event or change in status are effective the first of the month following the date they are submitted if the changes were submitted within 30 days of the event. One exception is a change due to birth or adoption, which is effective on the day of the birth or adoption if a change request is submitted within 30 days. There are certain changes in family status that may qualify your dependent for COBRA coverage. For these events, it is necessary that you report the change in status to the LTISD Human Resources within 30 days from the event date; otherwise, the dependent will not be eligible for COBRA coverage. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT CHANGING YOUR BENEFITS It is your responsibility to notify the LTISD Human Resources of a life event or family status change within 30 days of the event or change. If you don t make changes to your benefits within 30 days of the life event, you can t make changes to your district benefits until enrollment for the next plan year. Life events and changes in status that permit coverage changes are: Employee gains a tax dependent through birth, legal adoption or placement for adoption Marriage, Divorce or Annulment Enrollment in ACA approved Marketplace coverage Dependent reaches the limiting age noted in the policy and is no longer eligible for the plan Spouse/dependent gains or loses coverage due to gaining or losing employment/eligibility with current employer Death of spouse or dependent child Spouse/dependent or employee becomes Medicare/Medicaid eligible or ineligible Spouse adds or drops coverage during their own company s benefits enrollment period that is not concurrent with the district s benefits enrollment period Court order (QMCSO) COST OF COVERAGE The cost of the coverage is dependent upon the benefits you elect. As you complete the on-line enrollment process, the monthly cost of your deductions will be totaled for you. Please remember that once your enrollment in the benefits is confirmed, you may not change your mind unless there is a qualifying event resulting in a change in family status as defined by HIPAA regulations. PREPARING TO ENROLL CURRENT EMPLOYEES In order to receive benefits beginning November 1, 2014, all employees must enroll in benefits on-line by the October 2, 2014 deadline.

Lake Travis Independent School District 2014-2015 Benefits Overview 9 Certain services may require precertification prior to receiving benefits. Please familiarize yourself with the outline of coverage and present your identification card each time you visit a medical provider. Questions regarding eligibility of specific services or treatments should be referred to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas at the customer service number located on the back of your identification card. Under both the High and the Low plan that LTISD offers, you will receive better benefits if you seek treatments from providers who participate in the Blue Cross PPO network. To search for providers who participate in the network, visit the Blue Cross web-site at www.bcbstx.com and perform a provider search. Lake Travis ISD believes that the plans provided for its employees through Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas are grandfathered health plans 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 the LTISD Health Plan may not include certain 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 the agent for the District s health plan, Sue Gibson, at sue@sgibsongroup.com. You may also visit the web site www.dol.gov/ebsa/healthreform. This site has a table summarizing which protections do and do not apply to grandfathered health plans.
