Health Plan Not Subject to PPACA The health indemnity plans described in this brochure are considered excepted benefits under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and, as such, are not currently subject to the mandated benefits of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). It is important to know that excepted benefits do not count as creditable coverage, and certificates of prior (creditable) coverage will not be issued upon termination of indemnity coverage under any of the AFA policy forms. However, AFA voluntarily incorporated HIPAA special enrollment provisions in policy form series G-505.SA and G-513.SA (which are not included in policy form series G-501B).

PLAN DETAILS Enrollment Different enrollment methods are available. The method that works best for each employer can be determined by the number of eligible employees, work locations, information and payroll systems capabilities, and the services a broker can provide. Ideally, open enrollments are conducted over a 30-day period beginning at least 60 days prior to the group effective date. Enrollment forms and/or data should be received by the administrator no later than two weeks prior to the group effective date. Enrollments of newly-hired employees should be conducted throughout the year. The employee must satisfy any waiting period established by the employer. Following such waiting period, the employee will have 31 days to enroll for the insurance coverage. If the employee chooses not to enroll at this initial enrollment period, the employee must wait until the next open enrollment to enroll. The insurance coverage is not effective on the date of enrollment, and will not become effective until the enrollment process is complete. If an employee voluntarily ends coverage, the employee cannot re-enroll for 24 months. The employee may re-enroll within 31 days immediately following the 24-month waiting period, or during an open enrollment or special enrollment after the 24-month waiting period. Employee and Dependent Eligibility* All actively-at-work employees age 18 or older are eligible. Dependent coverage is available to: A legally married spouse who lives with the eligible employee. Any unmarried natural, adopted or stepchild. Such child must be under age 25, and be dependent on the eligible employee for principal support and maintenance. Please note that this coverage may not be appropriate for anyone eligible for Medicaid. Effective Date Procedures The employer may choose one of the following effective date procedures: First of Month The employee s coverage will take effect on the first day of the month following the enrollment process. This procedure requires that monthly premium be submitted for employees. The administrator will update eligibility and provide benefits on a calendar month basis. Normal Pay Date The employee s coverage will take effect on the first day after the normal pay date for which the first payroll deduction is taken for coverage. Under this procedure, premium must be remitted on a pay cycle basis (weekly or bi-weekly) as deductions are made. The administrator will update eligibility and provide benefits for the 7-day period (weekly) or 14-day period (bi-weekly) following the normal pay date. Coverage Begins The employee must complete the enrollment process, submit premium, and be on active service on the effective date for coverage to become effective. The effective date for dependents will be the same as the employee, unless dependent coverage is added at a later date. With respect to Short Term Disability Income Insurance, if an employee is totally disabled on the date coverage is to begin, the employee s coverage will be delayed until the first of the month or normal pay date following the date the employee ceases to be disabled. With respect to Life Insurance only, if a dependent is totally disabled on the effective date, coverage will be deferred until the first of the month or normal pay date following the date the dependent ceases to be totally disabled. (This provision applies only to Life Insurance for policy forms G-505.SA and G-513.SA). Coverage Ends Coverage will end when the employee no longer qualifies as an eligible insured, when the employee s premium payments are discontinued, or when the group plan ends, whichever occurs first. Coverage on a dependent ends on the earliest of the date that they no longer meet the definition of a dependent, the date that dependent coverage is terminated, or the date that the employee s coverage terminates. *State insurance laws may affect the definition of an eligible dependent.

Coverage is available to the employee only. Employee must be enrolled in Health Indemnity Insurance to elect and remain covered for Short Term Disability Income Insurance. Termination of coverage will have no effect on payment of benefits with respect to a total disability that begins before the policy is terminated. Short Term Disability Income Insurance is not available to the residents of California, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island, due to the availability of state-sponsored disability programs in those locations. Short Term Disability Income Plan Benefit Levels Maximum Disability Period (Accident or Sickness) 13 or 26 weeks Elimination Period (Accident or Sickness) 7 or 14 days Benefit Amount 50% of pay, up to $125; $150; or $175 per week Minimum Disability Benefit $50.00 per month Maximum Mental Illness Disability Period Maximum Alcoholism/ Drug Addiction Period 3 months (including hospital confinement) Up to 15 days in any 12-month period DEPENDENT ONLY HEALTH COVERAGE OPTION For many employees, dependent coverage is not an affordable option.

All policy provisions and exclusions and limitations remain the same for Dependent Only Health coverage. SB-23187-0911 Page 8 of 12
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Are employers required to make a premium contribution? No. The plan is a voluntary payroll deduction group plan. However, some level of premium contribution can increase participation and enhance an employer s ability to attract and retain employees. Is everyone guaranteed coverage in the plan? Yes. Eligible employees and their eligible dependents are automatically accepted for all Foundation One Security plans. What happens after enrollment? An orderly enrollment enables the administrator to issue and mail the employees Identification Cards and Certificate of Insurance in a timely fashion. Identification cards and member packets for LifeGuard Health Options will be issued separately, but included with the Certificate of Insurance. Can an employee cancel coverage at any time? Yes, unless deductions are being made through a Section 125 Plan. In that event, the timing of the change must comply with Section 125 guidelines. Can employees coverage continue under COBRA? Yes. The administrator will fully administer all aspects of COBRA continuation laws, including mailing COBRA notification correspondence to the employee s home address of record. The plan administrator will also be responsible for collecting premium for COBRA continuation coverage. A separate agreement for the COBRA services must be signed, but there is no additional charge. Can employees go to any doctor or hospital? Yes. There is no restriction of doctors or hospitals in the plan. However, employees will receive an added value of having the MultiPlan PPO network discounts applied towards their charges, when they utilize in-network providers. How does indemnity insurance work? Indemnity insurance coverage is reimbursed at the stated benefit amount, regardless of the provider s fee. When a provider s charge exceeds the plan benefit, the employee is responsible for paying the balance. If the provider s charge is less than the indemnity benefit, the employee will be paid for the difference when a claim is processed, the administrator will send the employee a check with a remark code on the Explanation of Benefits indicating that the check is the payment of indemnity plan benefits that exceeded the amount charged by a provider or pharmacy. How does the Outpatient Prescription Drug Indemnity Benefit work? An employee s best value will come from negotiated network discounts at participating pharmacies in the CVS/Caremark nationwide pharmacy network. There are over 55,000 participating pharmacies across the country. The program provides benefits for both brand name and generic drugs. The employee simply presents his insurance ID card at a participating pharmacy in the CVS/Caremark network. If the plan benefit is less than the cost of the prescription, the employee must pay the difference. If the plan benefit is more than the network discount price, the employee pays nothing, and will receive a check for the difference after the pharmacy submits the claim to the administrator. What happens if an employee s deduction is not enough to cover the insurance premium? Our Normal Pay Date effective date procedure was specifically developed to accommodate pay cycle business. This coverage includes a Missed Premium Provision, which offers employees the opportunity to keep their insurance coverage active during periods when a reduction in hours worked results in a paycheck that does not support the full amount of the payroll deduction premium for their insurance coverage. Here s how it works. In the event an employee s paycheck is not large enough to cover the full amount of the payroll deduction premium for insurance, coverage on the employee and any covered dependents will not end immediately but will, instead, be placed in a suspended status for up to 35 days if their deductions are weekly, or 42 days if deductions are bi-weekly. The employee is not required to make up premium missed during the suspension period, but will have the option of doing so by paying their premium directly to the administrator. If an employee or one of his dependents incurs an eligible claim during the suspension period, such claim will not be considered for payment unless the missed premium is paid. If premium deductions do not begin again by the end of the 35- or 42-day suspension period, the employee s insurance coverage will be terminated as of the end of the last period that was paid. If this happens, the employee will be eligible to re-enroll during the employer s next open enrollment period. The Missed Premium Provision is available only to groups with a Normal Pay Date effective date. Our monthly coverage (First of Month effective date) requires that monthly premium be submitted without interruption to keep coverage in effect. SB-23187-0911 Page 9 of 12
