Dental and Vision

Basic Life

CHOOSING YOUR BENEFITS

You must actively choose benefits that are paid by PAR, employee paid, or share in the cost with PAR. Your part of the cost is automatically taken out of your paycheck.

WHY PAY FOR BENEFITS WITH BEFORE-TAX MONEY? There is a definite advantage to paying for some benefits with before-tax money. By taking the money out before your taxes are calculated it lowers the amount of your pay that is taxable. Therefore, you pay less in taxes. ?

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT (FSA)

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are tax effective, money saving options that will help you pay for qualified expenses. Elected contributions into a FSA will be deducted from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis. Meaning you do not pay federal income tax, Social Security taxes, or state and local taxes on your contribution(s).

PAR offers you the opportunity to participate in two programs.

1. Healthcare FSA

The Healthcare FSA funds can be used for qualified expenses for medical, dental and vision costs. Funds can be used towards copays, coinsurance amounts, prescriptions, and additional out-of-pocket expenses. When you enroll in the Healthcare FSA you will receive a debit card, you may use this debit card to pay for eligible expenses at the time of service. Otherwise you may submit for reimbursement via the FSA Claims Form. Your full contribution to the Healthcare FSA is available day 1.

Maximum Annual Contribution

$2,600

2. Dependent Care FSA

The Dependent Care FSA funds are to be used for eligible dependent care expenses. Please note, Dependent Care FSA reimbursements cannot exceed your account's current year-to-date balance. You must accrue the funds before reimbursed.

Maximum Annual Contribution Single (or married filing jointly) Married (filing separately)

$5,000 $2,500

USE IT OR LOSE IT!

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) offer sizable tax advantages. The trade-off is that these accounts are subject to strict IRS regulations, including the use-it-or-lose-it rule. According to this rule, any unused funds will not be refunded or rolled over to a future plan year. Unused funds must be forfeited. If you are unable to estimate your health care and dependent care expenses accurately, it’s better to be conservative with your contributions.

REQUIRED ANNUAL EMPLOYEE DISCLOSURE NOTICES

Required Annual Employee Disclosure Notices

THE NEWBORNS’ AND MOTHERS’ HEALTH PROTECTION ACT OF 1996 The Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act of 1996 prohibits group and individual health insurance policies from restricting benefits for any hospital length of stay for the mother or newborn child in connection with childbirth; (1) following a normal vaginal delivery, to less than 48 hours, and (2) following a cesarean section, to less then 96 hours. Health insurance policies may not require that a provider obtain authorization from the health insurance plan or the issuer for prescribing any such length of stay. Regardless of these standards an attending health care provider may, in consultation with the mother, discharge the mother or newborn child prior to the expiration of such minimum length of stay. Further, a health insurer or health maintenance organization may not: 1. Deny to the mother or newborn child eligibility, or continued eligibility, to enroll or to renew coverage under the terms of the plan, solely to avoid providing such length of stay coverage; 2. Provide monetary payments or rebates to mothers to encourage such mothers to accept less than the minimum coverage; 3. Provide monetary incentives to an attending medical provider to induce such provider to provide care inconsistent with such length of stay coverage;

WOMEN’S HEALTH AND CANCER RIGHTS ACT OF 1998

The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 requires PAR to notify you, as a participant or beneficiary of the PAR Health and Welfare Plan, of your rights related to benefits provided through the plan in connection with a mastectomy. You, as a participant or beneficiary, have rights to coverage to be provided in a manner determined in consultation with your attending physician for:

1. All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed;

2. Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; and

3. Prostheses and treatment of physical compilations of the mastectomy, including lymphedema.

These benefits are subject to the plan’s regular deductible and co-pay. For further details, refer to your Summary Plan Description. Keep this notice for your records and call Human Resources for more information.

MICHELLE’S LAW

The law allows for continued coverage for dependent children who are covered under your group health plan as a student if they lose their student status because of a medically necessary leave of absence from school. This law applies to medically necessary leaves of absence that begin on or after January 1, 2010 If your child is no longer a student, as defined in your Certificate of Coverage, because he or she is on a medically necessary leave of absence, your child may continue to be covered under the plan for up to one year from the beginning of the leave of absence. This continued coverage applies if your child was (1) covered under the plan and (2) enrolled as at student at a post-secondary educational institution (includes colleges, universities, some trade schools and certain other post-secondary institutions). Your employer will require a written certification from the child’s physician that states that the child is suffering from a serious illness or injury and that the leave of absence is medically necessary.

MEDICARE PART D

When will you pay a higher premium (penalty) to join a Medicare drug Plan? You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with Aetna and don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later. If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join. For more information about this notice or your current prescription drug coverage… Contact our office for further information (see contact information below). NOTE: You’ll get this notice each year. You will also get it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if this coverage through Aetna changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time. For more information about your options under Medicare prescription drug coverage… More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare & You” handbook. You’ll get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare drug plans. For more information about Medicare prescription drug coverage: • Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see your copy of the Medicare & You handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help, • Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).

This notice applies to employees and covered dependents who are eligible for Medicare Part D. Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with Aetna and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug Plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current coverage including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice. 1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare through Medicare prescription drug plans and Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offer prescription drug coverage. All Medicare prescription drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium. 2. UnitedHealthcare has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the Welfare Plan for Employees of PAR under the UnitedHealthcare option are, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage.

You should also know that if you drop or lose your coverage with Aetna and don’t enroll in Medicare prescription drug coverage after your current coverage ends, you may pay more (a penalty) to enroll in Medicare prescription drug coverage later. _______________________________________________________ You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15 th to December 7 th . However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you will also be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan. What happens to your current coverage if you decide to join a Medicare Drug Plan? If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current Aetna coverage will not be affected. You can keep this coverage if you elect part D and this plan will coordinate with Part D coverage. If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Aetna coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will be able to get this coverage back. When can you join a Medicare Drug Plan?

HEALTHCARE REFORM AND YOU

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act & The Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act of 2010, together, create the most comprehensive health insurance reform ever under taken in recent history by our Country. Many of the new law’s required changes have already been incorporated into company health plans across the country since the effective date in September of 2010. However, there will be many more changes taking place in the months to come, as more guidance is issued by the government to employers, insurance carriers and individuals. One of the key requirements of the new law beginning in 2014, is the mandate that all U.S. citizens & legal residents either carry health insurance or pay an income tax penalty. While the tax penalty is not too severe in the first year, it becomes progressively more costly each year thereafter. In 2014, the greater of $95 or 1% of taxable income; In 2015, the greater of $325 or 2% of taxable income; In 2016, the greater of $695 or 2.5% of taxable income; and After 2016, the penalty is indexed for inflation. However, there are two ways to avoid the tax penalty: You can buy coverage for you and your family through your place of employment, if your employer offers such coverage. That coverage must meet certain standards set by the law in order for you and the employer to escape respective tax penalties. The coverage must meet certain minimum coverage standards (Generally pays at least 60% of your covered medical expenses) and must be considered “affordable” (Employer cannot charge you a premium for single or employee only coverage greater than 9.5% of your W-2 earnings for the year). The 9.5% would apply to annual salaries of up to about $45,000. Or, you can provide coverage for you and your family through a Federally run Insurance Exchange that is supposed to be up and running by 1/1/2014. Essentially, an Exchange is an interactive site where an individual can go to research, evaluate and buy health plans. The State of Florida chose not to set up a state run exchange, so the Federal government will take over that responsibility. Penalties for failing to buy coverage Tax penalties for failing to buy coverage are phased in according to the following schedule:

If you obtain coverage through an Exchange:

The Exchange will eventually sell insurance policies at certain levels of coverage: • Bronze level – a medical plan designed to pay 60% of covered medical benefits; • Silver level – a medical plan designed to pay 70% of covered medical benefits; • Gold level – a medical plan designed to pay 80% of covered medical benefits; • Platinum level – a medical plan designed to pay 90% of covered medical benefits; • Catastrophic – available to young adults up to age 30 or those exempt from the individual mandate (additional requirements may apply) If you satisfy certain low income thresholds and do not have medical coverage through an employer, or have employer- provided coverage that is considered “unaffordable” or pays benefits that are below the “Bronze” plan discussed above, there are tax credits available to help you pay the premiums for coverage purchased through the Exchange. The credits also help pay for expenses like deductibles and co pays. More information on these credits will be provided to you later. If you and your family are below 133% of the Federal Poverty Level in 2014, you may qualify for Medicaid. Other changes to take effect in 2014 are: The health plan may no longer exclude coverage of a pre- existing condition; The health plan may not impose more than a 90-day waiting period for coverage; Your plan may no longer place an annual limit on key benefits in the plan; Your health plan must allow dependent children up to age 26 to enroll in coverage, regardless of the availability of employer-sponsored coverage where they work. You may only obtain coverage through an Exchange if you are not participating in your employer’s plan.
