Limited Benefit Group Medical Expense Supplemental Insurance
Important Policy Provisions Eligibility
You are eligible to be covered under this Policy/Certificate if you are Actively At Work, qualify for coverage as defined in the Master Application, are covered under your Employer’s Medical Plan and are under age 70 (if you work for an employer employing less than 20 employees). Your Eligible Dependents, as defined in the Policy/Certificate, are eligible for coverage if they are covered under the Employer’s Medical Plan. You must apply for insurance during the Initial Enrollment period or on the date the person first becomes eligible for coverage. If you do not apply during the Initial Enrollment period or on the date you become eligible for coverage, you may be subject to additional underwriting by APL. Evidence of coverage under your Employer’s Medical Plan is required.
When Coverage Begins
Coverage will begin on the requested Certificate Effective Date or the Certificate Effective Date assigned by us, upon approval of your application, if our underwriting rules are met, the premium has been paid and all persons to be insured are covered under your Employer’s Medical Plan and you are Actively At Work on the Certificate Effective Date. If you are not Actively At Work on the Certificate Effective Date due to disability, Injury, Sickness, temporary layoff, leave of absence or Family and Medical Leave of Absence, coverage begins on the date you return to Actively At Work.
Limitations & Exclusions No benefits will be payable for expenses incurred during any period the Covered Person does not have coverage under your Employer’s Medical Plan, except as provided in the Absence of the Insured’s Employer’s Medical Plan provision, described in the Policy.

Pre-Existing Condition Limitation
No benefits are payable during the Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion Period following the Covered Person’s Effective Date for any loss resulting from a Pre-Existing Condition. The Pre-Existing Condition Limitation will apply only if the Covered Person is subject to a Pre-Existing Condition Limitation under the Employer’s Medical Plan. Therefore, any Pre-Existing Condition Limitation applied to the Major Medical plan would, in effect, limit coverage under this plan.

HSA (Health Savings Account)
YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE
About this Benefit A Health Savings Account is a tax-advantaged medical savings account available to employees who are enrolled in a high-deductible health plan. The funds contributed to the account are not subject to federal income tax at the time of deposit. Unlike a flexible spending account (FSA), funds roll over and accumulate year to year if not spent.
DID YOU KNOW? The interest earned in an HSA is tax free.
Money withdrawn for medical spending never falls under taxable income.
22
This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the City of Celina Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cityofcelina
HSA (Health Savings Account) You can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for a wide range of IRS-qualified medical expenses for yourself, your spouse or tax dependents. An IRS-qualified medical expense is defined as an expense that pays for healthcare services, equipment, or medications. Funds used to pay for IRS-qualified medical expenses are always tax-free.
What is an HSA?
A tax-advantaged savings account that you use to pay for eligible medical expenses as well as deductible, co-insurance, prescriptions, vision and dental care. Allows you to save while reducing your taxable income. Unused funds that will roll over year to year. There’s no “use it or lose it” penalty. Potential to build more savings through investing. If you maintain a minimum balance of $2,000, your additional funds may be invested in mutual funds yielding tax‐free earnings. A way to accumulate additional retirement savings. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty.
Participant Account Web Access www.nbsbenefits.com A Health Savings Account (HSA) works with a high deductible health plan (HDHP) and lets you set aside a portion of your paycheck ‐ before taxes– into an account to help you pay for medical expenses before you reach your deductible or that you aren’t covered by your plan. It can also help you pay for future medical expenses.
A Health Savings Account (HSA):
Grows with you. If you maintain a balance of $2,000, your additional funds may be invested in mutual funds yielding tax‐free earnings. Helps you plan for the future. Until you turn 65, withdrawals used for eligible expenses are tax free. After you turn 65, or if you become disabled, your HSA account becomes similar to a regular IRA. Withdrawals you use for noneligible expenses will be taxed at your regular income tax rate but won’t incur additional penalties.
Using Funds
For a list of sample expenses, please refer to the City of Celina benefit website at www.mybenefitshub.com/cityofcelina
Pre-paid Debit Card: You may use the card to pay merchants or service providers that accept Master Card credit cards, so there is no need to pay cash up front and wait for reimbursements.
NBS Contact Information
2016 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual: $3,350 Family: $6,750 Catch-Up Contributions: Account holders over the age of 55 who have not yet enrolled in Medicare are eligible to make an additional $1,000 “catch‐up” contribution to their HSA.

Will my HSA Funds be up fronted to me? Like a savings account, you can only withdrawal what you’ve contributed to the account. Funds are not up fronted. Are there any monthly fees? There is a $2.00 administrative fee that will be deducted from your HSA account on a monthly basis.

No benefits are payable for any loss incurred during the Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion Period following the Covered Person’s Effective Date as the result of a Pre-Existing Condition.

Individual Life Life Insurance Highlights Voluntary permanent life insurance can be an ideal complement to the group term and optional term your employer might provide. Designed to be in force when you die, this voluntary universal life product is yours to keep, even when you change jobs or retire, as long as you pay the necessary premium. Group and voluntary term, on the other hand, typically are not portable if you change jobs and, even if you can keep them after you retire, usually costs more and declines in death benefit.
DID YOU KNOW? Those with no life insurance think it’s 3 times more expensive than it actually is.
The policy, PureLife-plus, is underwritten by Texas Life Insurance Company, and it has these outstanding features:
High Death Benefit. With one of the highest death benefit available at the worksite,1 PureLife-plus gives your loved ones peace of mind, knowing there will be significant life insurance in force should you die prematurely.
Minimal Cash Value. Designed to provide high death benefit, PureLife-plus does not compete with the cash accumulation in your employer-sponsored retirement plans.
Long Guarantees. Enjoy the assurance of a policy that has a guaranteed death benefit to age 121 and level premium that guarantees coverage for a significant period of time (after the guaranteed period, premiums may go down, stay the same, or go up).
Refund of Premium. Unique in the marketplace, PureLifeplus offers you a refund of 10 years’ premium, should you surrender the policy if the premium you pay when you buy the policy ever increases. (Conditions apply.)
Accelerated Death Benefit Rider. Should you be diagnosed as terminally ill with the expectation of death within 12 months (24 months in Illinois), you will have the option to receive 92% (84% in Illinois) of the death benefit, minus a $150 ($100 in Florida) administrative fee. This valuable living benefit gives you peace of mind knowing that, should you need it, you can take the large majority of your death benefit while still alive. (Conditions apply.)
You may apply for this permanent, portable coverage, not only for yourself, but also for your spouse, minor children and grandchildren. Like most life insurance policies, Texas Life policies contain certain exclusions, limitations, exceptions, reductions of benefits, waiting periods and terms for keeping them in force. Please contact a Texas Life representative for costs and complete details. 1

Critical Illness
YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE
About this Benefit Critical illness insurance is designed to supplement your medical and disability coverage easing the financial impacts by covering some of your additional expenses. It provides a benefit payable directly to the insured upon diagnosis of a covered condition or event, like a heart attack or stroke.
DID YOU KNOW?
$16,500 Is the aggregate cost of a hospital stay for a heart attack.
56
This is a general overview of your plan benefits. If the terms of this outline differ from your policy, the policy will govern. Additional plan details on covered expenses, limitations and exclusions are included in the summary plan description located on the City of Celina Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/cityofcelina
Critical Illness Critical Illness Do you know someone who survived cancer, a heart attack or other critical illnesses? With nearly 3,000,000 critical illness cases being diagnosed each year, most families have experienced the financial hardship associated with the survival of a critical illness.
LEVEL BENEFITS TO AGE 65** Benefits remain level until insured reaches age 65, then they reduce 50%. Applicants age 60-65 benefits remain level for five (5) years. Applicants age 66-70 have a maximum benefit of $5,000.
Statistics show that a 25-year old male non-smoker has a 24% chance of having a critical illness (cancer, heart attack or stroke) prior to turning age 65, and a 49 percent chance if he smokes;* that’s four (4) times higher than premature death before age 65.
TRIPLE BENEFITS Critical Illness insurance provides a cash payment upon the first occurrence of a covered illness, and with our multiple benefit feature you may receive up to three (3) times the face amount of your policy upon diagnosis of a condition within each of the critical illness categories. No more than 100% will be paid in each category of critical illness.
Nearly two-thirds of U.S. bankruptcies are the result of medical expenses and 78% of those filing for bankruptcy had health insurance. Your employer is providing this new type of insurance in order to complement your overall benefit package. Group Critical Illness Coverage was designed to allow you an easy and affordable way to provide for your additional financial needs.
The Benefits of Group Critical Illness Coverage Until now, most employee benefits plans were designed to cover specific expenses. But, Group Critical Illness Coverage pays up to THREE (3) times the policy benefit amount in a lump sum directly to the policy owner – in addition to any other insurance plan the insured may have! There are no restrictions on how the money is used, providing the financial resources for expenses not covered by other insurance, including: Co-payments, deductibles and non-covered “experimental” treatments. Supplemental income to make house and car payments while recuperating. Lost income of spouse or care-givers. Home health care needs. Housekeeping or child care expenses. Necessary modifications to home or housekeeping expenses.
Group Critical Illness Coverage Highlights
PORTABILITY You and your family continue coverage with no loss of benefits should you terminate employment after the first premium is paid, in which case premiums can be paid on a direct billed basis. SPOUSE COVERAGE Spouse benefits are available up to 50% of the employee face amount, not to exceed $25,000. CHILD(REN) COVERAGE A $10,000 Children’s Benefit can be added to the employee’s policy for an additional premium of $.75/week or $3.25/ month. One premium covers all dependent children up to age 25. CONVENIENCE Premiums are taken care of simply and easily through payroll deductions. EASY APPLICATION PROCESS. Modified Guarantee Issue is available for Employees and their children up to $10,000 with just 2 medical questions. Simplified Issue underwriting for spouses and face amounts up to $100,000. This insurance does not require a medical exam or blood profile. PRE-TAX DEDUCTIONS Premiums may qualify for pre-tax deductions, reducing Federal and state income taxes. See your tax advisor for specifics.
Affordable rates. Low age banded group rates can not be increased individually on a particular insured due to a change in health or employment status, other than on a group basis.
