When you get FIT every day, you and your covered spouse may each earn up to $1,095* per calendar year. We’ll help you get started by giving you $55 just for registering at unitedhealthcaremotion.com . You can use the credit toward an activity tracker — or if you already have a compatible tracker, you can save the credit for reimbursement of your out-of-pocket medical expenses. Key features: • Plan participants and eligible spouses may be reimbursed up to $1,095* or 30% of the cost of plan participant-only coverage (or family coverage if dependents are covered) for available incentives under all programs combined as applicable, whichever is less, each calendar year • Quarterly reimbursements for expenses are applied to the out-of-pocket limit calendar year spend • 50% plan year rollover of unreimbursed rewards for those on a non-HSA plan • $55 registration credit can be used toward purchase of an activity tracker or saved for quarterly reimbursements. The unused credit will be deposited into the plan participant’s HSA (if plan participant has this set up). Considerations: • Point tracking does not start until after your effective date • Every quarter, all earned credits will be deposited into your health savings account (HSA) to be used at your discretion • Plan participants and spouses on a high deductible health plan are required to provide UnitedHealthcare Motion with their HSA bank information at the time of registration to receive reimbursement HSA contribution limits for 2022: Plan participants are responsible for ensuring that they do not exceed the 2022 HSA contribution limits imposed by the IRS. For 2022, the maximum contribution is $3,650 for individual coverage and $7,300 for family coverage. If you are age 55 or older, you may be eligible for an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution. Please seek your own tax advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Medical Out-of-Pocket maximum? What is included in the Pharmacy Out- of-Pocket maximum? The Medical Out-of-Pocket maximum is the maximum amount a member must pay during the policy year for covered essential health benefits. The OOP includes a member’s deductible and any coinsurance member responsibility. The Pharmacy OOP includes only pharmacy co-pays. The Medical OOP does NOT include monthly premiums, or billing from out-of-network providers. What is an in-network vs out-of-network provider? UnitedHealthcare contracts with a wide range of doctors, as well as specialists, hospitals, labs, radiology facilities and pharmacies. These are the providers that are considered “in your network”. Specifically, each of these providers has agreed to accept UnitedHealthcare’s contracted rate for your medical care and services rendered. The contracted rate includes both UnitedHealthcare’s share of the cost, and the member’s. Your share may be in the form of a co-payment, deductible, or co-insurance. For example, UnitedHealthcare’s contracted rate for a primary care visit might be $125. The Plan has a $25 co-payment for the visit; the member will pay $25 of the cost and your insurance plan will pay the remaining $100. An “out-of-network” provider is a medical doctor or facility that is not in contract with UnitedHealthcare. This means that the provider may charge members higher rates for medical services and care, outside of the standard “in-network” rates. For example, a out-of-network provider may charge $200 for a primary care visit. UnitedHealthcare may pay an adjustment of an out-of-network benefit of $80 dollars to the provider, so the member may be balance-billed for the remaining $120 cost of the visit. When can I change my beneficiary information for my Basic Life Insurance? Any time! It is important that all beneficiary information be kept up-to-date. You may need to change it after a marriage, divorce, or birth of a child.
Term
Definition
Network Office Visit (PCP) The “per visit” co-pay cost for a primary care or standard network doctor.
The “per visit” co-pay cost for a specialized doctor (cardiologist, OB/GYN, orthopedic, gastrointestinal, etc.) The amount of money a member owes for any In-network health care services before co-insurance coverage begins. These are generally services that are NOT covered under a standard co-pay (inpatient surgery, outpatient surgery, MRI, etc.) Deductibles run on a calendar year basis. After any applicable deductible is met, the remaining cost of any in-network health care service is divided between the insurance carrier and the member. A 70% / 30% network co-insurance would divide the cost of a service with 70% paid by the insurance carrier and 30% paid by the member. These are generally services that are NOT covered under a standard co-pay (inpatient surgery, outpatient surgery, MRI, etc.) The maximum amount a member must pay during the policy year for covered essential health benefits. The OOP includes a member’s deductible, any co-insurance member responsibility, primary care and specialist office visit co-pays, ER or Urgent Care co-pays, and prescription co-pays / costs. The OOP does NOT include monthly premiums, billing from out-of-network providers, or spending for non-essential health benefits. The cost of a one month supply of a prescription drug. All covered drugs are designated into tiered levels based on drug usage, cost, and clinical effectiveness. Tier 1 usually includes generics, while Tier 2 generally includes preferred brand name medications. Tier 3 typically includes non-preferred brand name medications, Tier 4 usually includes higher cost drugs and Specialty Drugs are covered under a separate tier.

Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) Offer Free or Low-Cost Health Coverage to Children and Families If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children aren’t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligible for these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit www. healthcare.gov. If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available. If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow. gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan. If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren’t already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272). If you live in one of the following states, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. The following list of states is current as of January 31, 2021.

Legal Notices
Important Notices about Medical Coverage
HIPAA Special Enrollment Rights If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself or your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing towards your or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after your or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage). In addition, if you have a new dependent as result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. However, you must enroll within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption. Effective April 1, 2009 special enrollment rights also exist in the following circumstances: • If you or your dependents experience a loss of eligibility for Medicaid or your State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) coverage; or • If you or your dependents become eligible for premium assistance under an optional state of Medicaid or SCHIP program that would pay the employee’s portion of the health insurance premium. NOTE: In the two above listed circumstances only, you or your dependents will have sixty (60) days to request special enrollment in the group health plan coverage. An individual must request this special enrollment within sixty (60) days of the loss of coverage described at bullet one, and within sixty (60) days of when eligibility is determined as described in bullet two. Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 Annual Notice If you have had or are going to have a mastectomy, you may be entitled to certain benefits under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA). For individuals receiving mastectomy-related benefits, coverage will be provided in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, for all stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed; surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; prostheses; and treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedema.
These benefits will be provided subject to the same deductibles and co-insurance applicable to other medical and surgical benefits provided under this plan. Our plan complies with these requirements. Benefits for these items generally are compatible to those provided under our plan for similar types of medical services and supplies. Of course, the extent to which any of these items is appropriate following mastectomy is a matter to be determined by consultation between the attending physician and the patient. Our plan neither imposes penalties (for example, reducing or limiting reimbursements) nor provides incentives to induce attending providers to provide care inconsistent with these requirements. If you would like more information on WHCRA benefits, call Yates LLC at (706) 323-1600.

Medicare Part D
Medicare Part D Notice of Creditable Coverage Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with Page Scrantom and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare 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. There are two important things you need to know about your currant coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage: 1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare 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. Page Scrantom has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by UnitedHealthcare plans are on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existing coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide to join a Medicare drug plan. When Can You Join a Medicare Drug Plan? You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15th through December 7th. 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 Join a Medicare Drug Plan? If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current Page Scrantom coverage may or may not be affected. See pages 7-9 of the CMS Disclosure of Creditable Coverage to Medicare Part D Eligible Individuals Guidance (available at https://www.cms.hhs.gov/Creditable Coverage/ ), which outlines the prescription drug plan provisions / options that Medicare eligible individuals may have available to them when they become eligible for Medicare Part D. If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Page Scrantom coverage, be aware that you and your dependents may or may not be able to get this coverage back.
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 Page Scrantom 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 a creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up by 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 further information, call Yates LLC at (706) 323-1600. 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 Page Scrantom changes. You may also request a copy of this notice at any time. 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: Medicare Part D Notice of Creditable Coverage, cont. Visit www.medicare.gov Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see the inside back cover of your copy of the “Medicare & You” handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help. Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048. If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage is available. For information about this extra help, visit Social Security on the web at www. socialsecurity. gov , or call them at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800- 325-0778). Remember: Keep this Creditable Coverage notice. If you decide to join one of the Medicare drug plans, you may be required to provide a copy of this notice when you join to show whether or not you have maintained creditable coverage and, therefore, whether or not you are required to pay a higher premium.

COBRA
What is COBRA continuation health coverage? The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) health benefit provisions amend the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Internal Revenue Code and the Public Health Service Act to require group health plans to provide a temporary continuation of group health coverage that otherwise might be terminated. What does COBRA do? COBRA requires continuation coverage to be offered to covered employees, their spouses, former spouses, and dependent children when group health coverage would otherwise be lost due to certain specific events. COBRA continuation coverage is often more expensive than the amount that active employees are required to pay for group health coverage, since the employer usually pays part of the cost of employees’ coverage and all of that cost can be charged to individuals receiving continuation coverage. What group health plans are subject to COBRA? The law generally applies to all group health plans maintained by private-sector employers with 20 or more employees, or by state or local governments. The law does not apply to plans sponsored by the Federal Government or by churches and certain church-related organizations. In addition, many states have laws similar to COBRA, including those that apply to health insurers of employers with less than 20 employees (sometimes called mini-COBRA). Check with your state insurance commissioner’s office to see if such coverage is available to you. Who is entitled to continuation coverage under COBRA? In order to be entitled to elect COBRA continuation coverage, your group health plan must be covered by COBRA; a qualifying event must occur; and you must be a qualified beneficiary for that event. Plan Coverage COBRA covers group health plans sponsored by an employer (private-sector or state/local government) that employed at least 20 employees on more than 50 percent of its typical business days in the previous calendar year. Both full-and part-time employees are counted to determine whether a plan is subject to COBRA. Each part-time employee counts as a fraction of a full-time employee, with the fraction equal to the number of hours that the part-time employee worked divided by the hours an employee must work to be considered full time. Qualified Beneficiaries A qualified beneficiary is an individual covered by a group health plan on the day before a qualifying event occurred that caused him or her to lose coverage. Only certain individuals can become qualified beneficiaries due to a qualifying event, and the type of qualifying event determines who can become a qualified beneficiary when it happens. A qualified beneficiary
must be a covered employee, the employee’s spouse or former spouse, or the employee’s dependent child. In certain cases involving the bankruptcy of the employer sponsoring the plan, a retired employee, the retired employee’s spouse or former spouse, and the retired employee’s dependent children may be qualified beneficiaries. In addition, any child born to or placed for adoption with a covered employee during a period of continuation coverage is automatically considered a qualified beneficiary. An employer’s agents, independent contractors, and directors who participate in the group health plan may also be qualified beneficiaries. Are there alternatives for health coverage other than COBRA? If you become entitled to elect COBRA continuation coverage when you otherwise would lose group health coverage under a group health plan, you should consider all options you may have to get other health coverage before you make your decision. There may be more affordable or more generous coverage options for you and your family through other group health plan coverage (such as a spouse’s plan), the Health Insurance Marketplace, or Medicaid. If you become entitled to elect COBRA continuation coverage when you otherwise would lose group health coverage under a group health plan, you should consider all options you may have to get other health coverage before you make your decision. There may be more affordable or more generous coverage options for you and your family through other group health plan coverage (such as a spouse’s plan), the Health Insurance Marketplace, or Medicaid. Under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), if you or your dependents are losing eligibility for group health coverage, including eligibility for continuation coverage, you may have a right to special enroll (enroll without waiting until the next open season for enrollment) in other group health coverage. For example, an employee losing eligibility for group health coverage may be able to special enroll in a spouse’s plan. A dependent losing eligibility for group health coverage may be able to enroll in a different parent’s group health plan. To have a special enrollment opportunity, you or your dependent must have had other health coverage when you previously declined coverage in the plan in which you now want to enroll. You must request special enrollment within 30 days from the loss of your job-based coverage. Losing your job-based coverage is also a special enrollment event in the Health Insurance Marketplace). The Marketplace offers “one-stop shopping” to find and compare private health insurance options. In the Marketplace, you could be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premiums and cost- sharing reductions (amounts that lower your out-of-pocket costs for deductibles, coinsurance and co-payments), and you can see what your premium, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs will be before you make a decision to enroll.

New Health Insurance Marketplace Coverage Options and Your Health Coverage
Form Approved OMB No. 1210-0149 (expires 6-30-2023)
PART A: General Information When key parts of the health care law take effect in 2014, there will be a new way to buy health insurance : the Health Insurance Marketplace. To assist you as you evaluate options for you and your family, this notice provides some basic information about the new Marketplace and employment based health coverage offered by your employer. What is the Health Insurance Marketplace? The Marketplace is designed to help you find health insurance that meets your needs and fits your budget. The Marketplace offers "one-stop shopping" to find and compare private health insurance options. You may also be eligible for a new kind of tax credit that lowers your monthly premium right away. Open enrollment for health insurance coverage through the Marketplace begins in October 2013 for coverage starting as early as January 1, 2014. Can I Save Money on my Health Insurance Premiums in the Marketplace? You may qualify to save money and lower your monthly premium, but only if your employer does not offer coverage, or offers coverage that doesn't meet certain standards. The savings on your premium that you're eligible for depends on your household income. Does Employer Health Coverage Affect Eligibility for Premium Savings through the Marketplace? Yes. If you have an offer of health coverage from your employer that meets certain standards, you will not be eligible for a tax credit through the Marketplace and may wish to enroll in your employer's health plan. However, you may be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premium, or a reduction in certain cost-sharing if your employer does not offer coverage to you at all or does not offer coverage that meets certain standards. If the cost of a plan from your employer that would cover you (and not any other members of your family) is more than 9.5% of your household income for the year, or if the coverage your employer provides does not meet the "minimum value" standard set by the Affordable Care Act, you may be eligible for a tax credit. 1 Note: If you purchase a health plan through the Marketplace instead of accepting health coverage offered by your employer, then you may lose the employer contribution (if any) to the employer-offered coverage. Also, this employer contribution -as well as your employee contribution to employer-offered coverage- is often excluded from income for Federal and State income tax purposes. Your payments for coverage through the Marketplace are made on an after-tax basis. How Can I Get More Information? For more information about your coverage offered by your employer, please check your summary plan description or contact . The Marketplace can help you evaluate your coverage options, including your eligibility for coverage through the Marketplace and its cost. Please visit HealthCare.gov for more information, including an online application for health insurance coverage and contact information for a Health Insurance Marketplace in your area.
1 An employer-sponsored health plan meets the "minimum value standard" if the plan's share of the total allowed benefit costs covered by
the plan is no less than 60 percent of such costs.

If checked, this coverage meets the minimum value standard, and the cost of this coverage to you is intended to be affordable, based on employee wages.

The Marketplace will use your household income, along with other factors, to determine whether you may be eligible for a premium discount. If, for example, your wages vary from week to week (perhaps you are an hourly employee or you work on a commission basis), if you are newly employed mid-year, or if you have other income losses, you may still qualify for a premium discount.
If you decide to shop for coverage in the Marketplace, HealthCare.gov will guide you through the process. Here's the employer information you'll enter when you visit HealthCare.gov to find out if you can get a tax credit to lower your monthly premiums.
