Glossary of Terms
Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) AD&D covers the unintentional death or dismemberment of the insured. Dismemberment includes the loss, or the loss of use, of body parts or functions (i.e., limbs, speech, eyesight, or hearing). Coinsurance Refers to the percentage of charges you and your plan will pay for covered services. For example, if your plan has a coinsurance split of 80/20, this means your plan will pay 80 percent of charges and you will pay 20 percent of charges. Copay Is a fixed dollar amount you pay for covered services in addition to what the plan pays. The copay is normally paid at the point of service. Deductible The amount you must pay for covered services before your plan coinsurance is applied. The deductible starts over every January 1. Embedded Deductible In a health plan with an embedded deductible, no single individual on a family plan will have to pay a deductible higher than the individual deductible amount. Once you meet the individual deductible, your plan coinsurance is applied. Embedded Out-of-Pocket Maximum In a health plan with an embedded out-of-pocket maximum, no single individual on a family plan will have to pay more than the individual out-of-pocket maximum amount. Once you meet the individual out-of-pocket maximum amount, your plan begins to pay 100% for the individual’s expenses for the remainder of the year. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) FSAs allow you to set aside pre-tax funds from your paychecks to accounts that can be used to pay you for qualified medical or child care expenses. Formulary A formulary is a list of generic and brand name drugs covered by an insurance plan offering prescription drug benefits. Generic Drugs Medications created to be the same as an existing brand name medications in dosage, safety, effectiveness, strength and quality, but cost less. Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) An HRA is an employer-funded account offered in combination with a health plan. The money in your HRA is used to pay expenses applied to your health plan copays, deductible and coinsurance.
4
Health Savings Account (HSA) An HSA is a tax-advantaged savings account offered in combination with a high deductible health plan. The account can be funded by your employer and you with pre-tax dollars from your paychecks. It comes with a debit card that can be used to pay qualified out-of-pocket medical expenses, such as those applied to your health plan deductible and coinsurance, as well as dental and vision expenses. High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) A health insurance plan with lower premiums and a higher deductible than a traditional health plan. You pay 100% of the cost of your non-preventive health care and prescription drugs until you meet your deductible. Once you meet your deductible, the plan coinsurance is applied. Preferred Brand Drugs Medications for which generic alternatives are not available and cost less than non-preferred brand drugs. Preventive Care Routine health care services to prevent illnesses, disease, or other health problems. It includes most vaccines, screenings and annual check-ups and is typically covered at 100% under health plans. Non-Preferred Brand Drugs Medications which cost more because there are alternative, lower cost generic or brand name drugs available. Out-of-Pocket Maximum A specific limit for the total amount you will pay for covered health costs during the plan year. This includes amounts applied as copays, deductible and coinsurance. If you meet the out-of- pocket maximum, your health plan will pay 100% of your covered health care costs for the rest of the year. Specialty Drugs High-cost medications used to treat complex, chronic conditions such as cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis.

Qualifying Life Events After your initial enrollment period or a subsequent annual open enrollment period has expired, you cannot enroll in or make changes to your benefit elections until the next annual open enrollment period unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event, as defined by the IRS, such as: • Marriage, divorce or legal separation • Birth, adoption or placement of adoption or becoming the court-appointed legal guardian of a child(ren) • Death of your spouse or child • Gain or loss of coverage for you or your dependents with your spouse’s employer as a result of an employment event • Change in your child’s eligibility • Becoming eligible for Medicare or Medicaid • Receipt of a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) • Significant change in cost or coverage in your spouse’s or child’s health insurance plan • Gain or loss of benefits eligibility, such as a transition from full time to part time or part time to full time Changes made on account of a qualifying life event must be consistent with the event. You have 30 days from the date of a qualifying life event to notify the Benefits department and make changes to your benefit elections in Workday. Benefit elections made following a qualifying life event will become effective on the date of the event (such as the date of marriage or birth), in most situations. For questions or additional information, contact the Benefits department at (877) 277-2327 or send an email to Benefits@maac.com. Notice of Special Enrollment Rights If you are declining coverage for yourself and/or your eligible dependent(s) during your initial enrollment period or a subsequent annual open enrollment period because of other health coverage (such as COBRA coverage or coverage under another health plan), you may be able to enroll yourself and your eligible dependent(s) in MAA’s medical coverage if you or your dependents lose eligibility for such other coverage (such as due to the end of the maximum COBRA period, ceasing to meet the eligibility requirements or as otherwise required by law) or if employer contributions toward that other coverage cease. However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after loss of other coverage. If the other coverage ends voluntarily, such as due to failure to pay the required premiums, there is no right to special enrollment. If you or your dependent (1) becomes eligible for state-granted premium assistance or (2) lose health coverage under Medicaid or State Children’s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP), you will have a special enrollment right under MAA’s group medical plan. To enroll, you must request coverage within 60 days of either of these two events.

3. Make your benefit elections in Workday. New Hire Enrollment:
If you are a new associate, you have 30 days from your date of hire to complete the New Hire Enrollment event that will be delivered to your inbox in Workday after one week of employment.
Review the benefit plans for which you are eligible and “Waive” or “Select" coverage under each plan for the 2025 plan year. If you do nothing, your elections will default to “Waive” for all benefit plans, with the exception of the plans for which you will be automatically enrolled, as indicated in the table on page 8. Open Enrollment : If you are an existing associate, you have from November 1 through November 15, 2024 to complete the Open Enrollment event in your inbox in Workday and submit your benefit elections for the 2025 plan year. Elections for all FSA plans will default to “Waive” for the 2025 plan year. Read more about the FSAs on page 29. If you do nothing during Open Enrollment, your current benefit elections, with the exception of Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), will carryover for the 2025 plan year.

Medical Plan Options
Cigna Choice Fund HRA + Cigna Choice Fund HSA MAA offers two medical plan options through Cigna - the Choice Fund HRA Plan and the Choice Fund HSA Plan. These plans share common features but differ in what you pay when you use the plan and the amount you pay through your paychecks. Each plan comes with an account that can be used to pay for certain health care expenses. It is important to take the time to understand how each plan works and what you can expect to pay so you can choose the plan that best meets your needs. Plan Links Click here for the Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) for the Cigna Choice Fund HRA Plan. Click here for the Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) for the Cigna Choice Fund HSA Plan. Both Plans Share Common Features: • Access to participating providers and hospitals in Cigna’s Open Access Plus (OAP) Network. • Flexibility to receive care in- or out-of-network. However, when you receive in-network care, your costs are lower. • Routine Preventive Care covered at 100%. • Coverage for the same types of services. • Once you meet the Deductible, coverage is shared with the plan in a Coinsurance arrangement until an Out-of-Pocket Maximum is met. • When you meet the Out-of-Pocket Maximum, the plan pays 100% for covered medical and prescription drug expenses for the remainder of the calendar year. • Cigna’s Standard 4-Tier Prescription Drug Formulary. Click here to learn more. • Cigna’s Health Programs and Resources found on pages 20 and 21. Digital ID Cards Cigna transitioned from physical ID cards to digital ID cards in 2024. This means you will not receive physical ID cards in the mail from Cigna. You and your covered dependents, if applicable, can access your digital ID cards through myCigna.com and the myCigna mobile app. Both the website and mobile app offer convenient, timely access to ID cards, as well as many other features to help you manage your health and savings.

If you would like to request physical ID cards for the 2025 plan year, you can do so any time on myCigna.com or by calling Cigna at (800) 244-6224.

You pay a Copay when you visit a doctor's office or an urgent care facility for covered services that are not considered Preventive Care.

When one or more dependents are covered under this plan, the plan includes an Embedded Deductible.

After you meet your Deductible, you and the plan pay Coinsurance until you reach your Out- of-Pocket Maximum. When one or more dependents are covered under this plan, the plan includes an Embedded Out-of-Pocket Maximum. You will not pay more than this amount in a calendar year for any individual covered under the plan.

The plan comes with a Health Savings Account (refer to pages 16-18 for more information).

What is a Health Reimbursement Account?
A Health Reimbursement Account, or HRA, is an employer-funded account offered in combination with the Choice Fund HRA health plan that is used to pay covered expenses applied to your health plan Copays, Deductible and Coinsurance. The account is administered by Cigna and funded by MAA, as indicated below.
How is My HRA Funded?
Automatic HRA Contribution for Employee + Child(ren) Coverage Level
Automatic contribution upon enrollment and January 1 of each year thereafter
$250 per year
Earned HRA Contributions for Employee + Covered Spouse
Through the Cigna Healthcare Wellness Experience, you and your covered spouse (if applicable) can earn contributions from MAA by completing various wellness-related activities. Read more on page 19.
Up to $400 each per year
Unused funds in your HRA carryover at the end of each year with no limit, as long as you remain covered under the Choice Fund HRA Plan. If your coverage terminates under the Choice Fund HRA plan, you forfeit any unused funds in your HRA.

What is a Health Savings Account?
A Health Savings Account, or HSA, is a personal savings account that works in combination with a High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP), like the Cigna Choice Fund HSA Plan, and can be used to pay for qualified medical, dental and vision expenses. You and MAA can contribute to your account, up to the federal limits. Your contributions to the account, the interest your account earns and withdrawals you make for qualified expenses are tax free, making it a triple tax- advantaged account. Additional advantages of an HSA include: • Annual Rollover: If you have money left in your HSA at the end of the year, it rolls over to the next year. • Portability: The money in your HSA remains available for future qualified expenses, even if you change health insurance plans, leave MAA to work for another employer or retire. • Convenience: A debit card will be issued so you can pay for prescriptions and other eligible expenses right away. If you wait for a bill to come in the mail, you can make a payment online, by mail or phone using your HSA debit card. Am I Eligible for an HSA? You must meet the following IRS requirements to be eligible for an HSA: • You must be enrolled in a HDHP, like the Cigna Choice Fund HSA health plan. • You must not be covered under another health plan, including Medicare Parts A and B and TRICARE. • You must not be participating in a Medical Flexible Spending Account (FSA) that reimburses for medical expenses unless it is limited to work with an HSA (for example, a Limited FSA for dental and vision expenses as described on page 29). • You must not be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return.
16
How is My HSA Funded & How Much Can I Contribute?
By You
By MAA
MAA will make a contribution to your HSA upon enrollment and every January 1 thereafter equal to $100 for single coverage (Employee Only) and $300 for family coverage (Employee + Spouse, Employee + Child(ren), Employee + Family). When you and your covered spouse (if applicable) complete various wellness-related activities through the Cigna Healthcare Wellness Experience, MAA will make contributions to your HSA as a reward for taking an active role in your health, up to $600 each per year. Read more on page 19.
You can fund your HSA every pay period with pre-tax payroll contributions. You may change your contribution any time during the year in Workday. You can fund your HSA at any time by making a deposit with after-tax dollars.
The sum of contributions made by you and MAA cannot exceed the federal limit, as indicated in the table below.

How Does My HSA Work with My Health Plan?
Cigna Choice Fund HSA Plan
Health Savings Account
Once enrolled, you will present your digital ID card through myCigna.com or the myCigna mobile app when you obtain medical care or fill a prescription for claim processing purposes.
Upon enrollment, an HSA will be opened with the initial contribution from MAA and maintained on your behalf through HSABank. You will receive a Cigna Choice Fund Health debit card and welcome kit from HSABank. You can use this card to pay for eligible out-of-pocket expenses at or after the time of service.
You decide how and when to use the money in your HSA, up to the amount available in your account. You can use your HSA debit card to pay for qualified medical, dental and vision expenses at the time of service or upon receipt of a bill from a provider. You can also save the money in your HSA to use for future qualified expenses, even during retirement. You won’t need to submit documentation to substantiate the charges made to your HSA debit card, but it’s important to keep your receipts for all expenses paid from your HSA for tax and record keeping purposes. When you obtain medical care or fill a prescription, a claim is submitted to Cigna. With the exception of Preventive Care, you will pay 100% of the cost of medical care and prescription drugs, at the time of service or your provider will bill you directly, until you meet your Deductible. Once you meet your Deductible, you will pay a portion of your covered expenses and the plan will pay the rest (Coinsurance) until you reach your Out-of- Pocket Maximum. 1. Cigna processes your claim based on the covered expenses and negotiated discounts from in-network providers (if applicable), and applies your Deductible or Coinsurance that you are responsible for. 2. If there are funds available in your HSA, you decide whether or not to use the funds to pay all or a portion of the qualified expenses that you are responsible for, including amounts applied to your Deductible and Coinsurance. If there are no funds available in your HSA, you must use another form of payment to pay the provider the amount that you are responsible for. 3. Cigna provides an explanation of Benefits (EOB) to you and the provider outlining the details of your claim, including the amount paid to the provider by your plan and any amounts applied to your Deductible and Coinsurance that you are responsible for. 4.

Which Medical Plan is Right for You?
Jack is single and considers himself healthy. He doesn't have any health conditions or takes any prescription drugs on a regular basis. He gets a flu shot every year and sees his primary care physician for an annual preventive exam and health screening. He doesn't anticipate the need for any other medical care. Jack's interested in the Cigna Choice Fund HSA Plan because the bi-weekly payroll contributions are lower and MAA will make contributions to his HSA that he can use for unplanned medical expenses in the future.

Jill needs to cover herself and two children. Although no one in Jill’s family has a medical condition, she anticipates her children will have illnesses, a visit to the emergency room, and everyone will obtain their preventive care exams, screenings and flu shots. Jill is interested in the Cigna Choice Fund HRA Plan because she wants to pay the least amount out of pocket when she uses the plan, even if that means she has to pay more in premiums every pay period.
