What s New for 2016 Due to Health Care Reform, all copayments, coinsurance amounts and deductibles will apply toward meeting your out-of-pocket maximum. Prescription drug costs will also apply. We are pleased to introduce the Trinity Health MyBenefits internet site for 2016. You can log on at www.mybenefits.trinity-health.org to find information about the 2016 Open Enrollment process and to learn more about your Trinity Health benefits. If you participate in the Health Care Spending Account (HCSA), you will be able now to contribute up to $2,550 for 2016. We are continuing to harmonize who is covered under Trinity Health benefits and programs. For 2016, the definition of Eligible Adult is changing. See the Who Is Eligible section for more information. Starting Jan. 1, 2016, The Hartford will be our new life insurance provider. Any increases or new election to colleague supplemental life coverage or spouse/eligible adult life coverage will require you to submit a Personal Health Application. The Personal Health Application must be sent to The Hartford by Jan. 8, 2016. Beginning Jan. 1, 2016, supplemental life insurance can be purchased for eligible adults and their dependents. Beginning Jan. 1, 2016, The Hartford will be providing our disability insurance. Your 2015 elections will carryover. Starting in 2016 your beneficiary designation for life and supplemental life insurance coverage will need to be the same. Beginning in 2016, we will be offering a revised well-being program to help you earn a premium discount on your medical coverage throughout the year. See the Live Your Whole Life page in this guide and the Live Your Whole Life website (mybenefits.trinity-health.org/lywl) for more information. 2 St. Joseph s Health System
Other Information About Enrolling Your enrollment requirements Open enrollment is mandatory for 2016. This means that you must enroll if you want to choose your own benefit options. If you wish to participate or continue your benefits next year you must complete your enrollment by Nov. 4, 2015 at 12 midnight EST. Benefit elections are effective for the entire year Remember, the benefits you elect during open enrollment will be in effect from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2016. Open enrollment is your only opportunity during the year to make elections for your 2016 benefits unless you experience a qualified family status change. If you experience a qualified family status change or certain employment status changes and provide any required documentation to your Human Resources representative within 31 days of the event, you will be allowed to make certain benefit changes as long as they are consistent with the status change. For example, if you get married during the plan year, you ll be able to add your spouse to your coverage within 31 days of the marriage because this is consistent with the status change. For more information on qualified family status changes, visit http://mybenefits.trinity-health.org. Adding family members If you re adding family members to your benefit planfor the first time during this year s open enrollment, you re required to provide written documentation (for example, marriage certificate or birth certificate) verifying their dependent status to Human Resources no later than Nov. 11, 2015. If you don t submit the required paperwork by the deadline, your dependents will not be enrolled for coverage for 2016, and you ll be required to wait until next year s open enrollment period to add them to the plan provided they remain eligible, and you provide written documentation verifying their dependent status at that time. You are required to provide a Social Security number for each of your dependents over the age of one in order for them to be covered. Please enter the missing Social Security numbers in Lawson ESS. Please note, you have the option to purchase coverage for your spouse/eligible adult and dependents. If you and your spouse/eligible adult or dependent(s) both work for Trinity Health and are benefits eligible, you cannot elect dual coverage (enrolled as a colleague and a dependent). In addition, only one of you will be able to elect coverage for your child(ren). To view the complete eligibility rules and documentation requirements for you and your family members, visit http://mybenefits.trinity-health.org. St. Joseph s Health System 3
The Affordable Care Act The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was put in place to make sure citizens have access to health insurance they can afford. Since Jan. 1, 2014, the law has required that most U.S. citizens and legal resident aliens have health insurance whether they get it from an employer, a private insurance company or from the government. If they do not have health insurance, they may have to pay a tax penalty. As a colleague at Trinity Health, here is how the law may affect you: Trinity Health will continue to offer health insurance for U.S. colleagues who are benefits eligible. During open enrollment, you can choose the Trinity Health medical plan that works best for you and your family. The law requires employers to offer medical and prescription coverage to employees who work more than 30 hours a week or more than 130 hours per month. Colleagues who work an average of 30 hours a week over a rolling 12-month period are eligible for medical coverage through Trinity Health. A Trinity Health medical plan may be your best option for coverage (if eligible), as long as you re not covered somewhere else. You will probably continue to hear a lot about the health insurance marketplace that has been set up in each state to help people find health insurance. Trinity Health will continue communicating with you about your benefits coverage as weremaincommittedtoprovidingyouwith the latest information. In the meantime, if you have questions, please contact your Human Resources representative. Women s Preventive Care under the Affordable Care Act Part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (also known as health care reform) requires employers to cover certain women s preventive care services, including contraception, under health insurance benefits at no charge. As a health ministry of the Catholic Church, we have engaged in extensive advocacy with the support of the Catholic Health Association, to find an acceptable resolution to this issue. The final rules from the U.S. Health and Human Services, Treasury and the Department of Labor give an accommodation to certain religious and religiously-affiliated organizations, like Trinity Health, to provide an exemption from the requirement to provide contraceptive coverage to employees as preventive health services. The intent of the rules is to accommodate the moral perspectives of certain religiously-affiliated employers while also providing for the preventive health care needs of their employees who may not share the employers religious beliefs. In 2016, your medical/pharmacy benefit provider will continue to provide these benefits as mandated by the ACA. Trinity Health colleagues will be provided with access to these benefits, but they will not be paid for by Trinity Health or its health plans. Contact your medical/pharmacy benefit provider for further details. 4 St. Joseph s Health System

Be a smart health care consumer As you know, the cost of high-quality health care continues to increase each year. Being a smart consumer means getting the best price on something you need, whether it s a new car or health care. Being a smart health care consumer doesn t mean you should avoid trips to the doctor it means making the best decisions about when to go to the doctor. Regular checkups can improve your health and extend your life. By getting the recommended exams and tests, you increase your chances of discovering problems before an illness significantly affects your health. Plus, preventive care is beneficial not only to your physical well-being, it also makes sense for your financial health because generally, it s covered by your medical plan. For more information on preventive care benefits, visit http://mybenefits.trinity-health.org. An easy way to be a smart health care consumer is to choose an in-network provider when you or a family member needs medical care. Besides receiving excellent care at our own facilities, you receive the highest level of benefits while paying the lowest available copayment and coinsurance amounts. St. Joseph s Health System 7

Important reminders Benefit elections are final for 2016 Remember, the benefits you elect during open enrollment will be in effect from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2016. The choices you make now are final for 2016, because open enrollment is your only opportunity during the year to switch medical, dental or vision plan coverage. If you experience a qualified family status change or certain employment status changes and provide any required documentation to your Human Resources representative within 31 days of the event, you will be allowed to make certain benefit changes that are consistent with the status change. For example, getting married is considered a family status change. If you get married during the plan year you ll be able to add your spouse/eligible adult to your coverage within 31 days of the marriage because this is consistent with the status change. For more information on qualified family status changes, visit your benefits website. So before you enroll, be sure to consider what your needs may be for the upcoming year and to choose your benefits accordingly.
