Specialty Medications Short-Term Supply of a Maintenance Medication at Retail Location (up to a 31-day supply)
What is a maintenance medication? Maintenance drugs are prescriptions commonly used to treat conditions that are considered chronic or long-term. These conditions usually require regular, daily use of medicines. Examples of maintenance drugs are those used to treat high blood pressure, heart disease, asthma and diabetes.
When does the convenience fee apply? For example, if you are covered under TRS-ActiveCare Select, the first time you fill a 31-day supply of a generic maintenance drug at a retail pharmacy you will pay $20, then you will pay $35 each month that you fill a 31-day supply of that generic maintenance drug at a retail pharmacy. A 90-day supply of that same generic maintenance medication would cost $45, and you would save $225 over the year by filling a 90-day supply.
Premium Information for ALEX You will need to enter the applicable amount – YOUR ANNUAL COST – from the table below into ALEX when prompted. To determine this cost, ask your Benefits Administrator for your monthly cost (this is the amount you will owe each month after your employer contributes to your coverage). Then multiply your monthly cost by 12 to get YOUR ANNUAL COST (use this amount for ALEX) Individual

A specialist is any physician other than family practitioner, internist, OB/GYN or pediatrician. *Illustrates benefits when in-network providers are used. For some plans non-network benefits are also available; there is no coverage for non-network benefits under the ActiveCare Select or ActiveCare Select Whole Health Plan; see Enrollment Guide for more information. Non-contracting providers may bill for amounts exceeding the allowable amount for covered services. Participants will be responsible for this balance bill amount, which maybe considerable. **For ActiveCare 1-HD, certain generic preventive drugs are covered at 100%. Participants do not have to meet the deductible ($2,500 - individual, $5,000 - family) and they pay nothing out of pocket for these drugs. The list of drugs is on the TRS-ActiveCare website. ***If a participant obtains a brand-name drug when a generic equivalent is available, they are responsible for the generic copay plus the cost difference between the brand-name drug and the generic drug. 15 ****Participants can fill 32-day to 90-day supply through mail order.

**Total premium includes the Plan selected and any applicable rider premium. Premiums are subject to increase with notice. The premium and amount of benefits vary dependent upon the Plan selected at time of application.
Benefits are only payable following a diagnosis of cancer for a loss incurred for the treatment of cancer while covered under the policy. A charge must be incurred for benefits to be payable. When coverage terminates for loss incurred after the coverage termination date, our obligation to pay benefits also terminates for a specified disease that manifested itself while the person was covered under the policy. All benefits are subject to the benefit maximums.
Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion
Cancer Treatment Benefits
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. Pre-existing conditions specifically named or described as excluded in any part of the policy are never covered. If any change to coverage after the certificate effective date results in an increase or addition to coverage, the time limit on certain defenses and pre-existing condition exclusion for such increase will be based on the effective date of such increase.
Eligibility
Waiting Period
You and your eligible dependents are eligible to be insured under this certificate if you and your eligible dependents meet our underwriting rules and you are actively at work with the policyholder and qualify for coverage as defined in the master application.
Limitations and Exclusions
No benefits will be paid for any of the following: treatment by any program engaged in research that does not meet the definition of experimental treatment; or losses or medical expenses incurred prior to the covered person’s effective date regardless of when specified disease was diagnosed.
Only Loss for Cancer

Individual Life
YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE
PLAY VIDEO
About this Benefit Individual life is a policy that provides a specified death benefit to your beneficiary at the time of death. The advantage of having an individual life insurance plan as opposed to a group supplemental term life plan is that this plan is guaranteed renewable, portable and typically premiums remain the same over the life of the policy.
Experts recommend at least
x 10 your gross annual income in coverage when purchasing life insurance.
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 50 Beaumont ISD Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/beaumontisd
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, PureLife-plus 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

FSA Frequently Asked Questions What is a Flexible Spending Account? A Flexible Spending Account allows you to save money by paying out-of-pocket health and/or dependent care related expenses with pre-tax dollars. Your contributions are deducted from your pay before taxes are withheld and your medical FSA is up fronted with an annual amount. Because you are taxed on a lower amount of pay, you pay less in taxes and you have more to spend.
How does a Flexible Spending Account Benefit Me? A Cafeteria plan enables you to save money on group insurance, health-related expenses, and dependent-care expenses. You may save as much as 35 percent on the cost of each benefit option! Eligible expenses must be incurred within the plan year and contributions are use-it-or- lose-it. Remember to retain all your receipts, including payments made with your flex card.
Health Care Expense Account Example Expenses:
Acupuncture Body scans Breast pumps Chiropractor Co-payments Deductible Diabetes Maintenance Eye Exam & Glasses Fertility treatment First aid
Hearing aids & batteries Lab fees Laser Surgery Orthodontia Expenses Physical exams Pregnancy tests Prescription drugs Vaccinations Vaporizers or humidifiers
Dependent Care Expense Account Example Expenses:
Before and After School and/or Extended Day Programs The actual care of the dependent in your home. Preschool tuition. The base costs for day camps or similar programs used as care for a qualifying individual.
What Can I Use My Flexible Spending Account On? For a full list of eligible expenses, please refer to www.mybenefitshub.com/beaumontisd
60
What Happens If I Don’t Use All of My Funds by The End of the Plan Year (August 31st)? Eligible expenses must be incurred within the plan year +75 day grace period. Contributions are use-it-or- lose-it. Remember to retain all your receipts, including payments made with your flex card.
How Do I File A Claim? In most situations, you will be able to swipe your card however, in the event you lose your card or are waiting to receive one, you can visit www.mybenefitshub.com/beaumontisd and complete the “Claim Form” to send to NBS or use the web or phone app to file online.
How To Receive Your Dependent Care Reimbursement Faster. A Direct Deposit form is available on the Benefits Website which will help you get reimbursed quicker! Dependent Care reimbursements can only be made after your deductions are received by NBS. Dependent Care accounts are not prefunded.
How the FSA Plan Works You designate an annual election of pre-tax dollars to be deposited into your health and dependent-care spending accounts. Your total election is divided by the number of pay periods in the Plan year and deducted equally from each paycheck before taxes are calculated. By the end of the Plan year, your total election will be fully deposited. However, you may make a claim for eligible health FSA expenses as soon as they are incurred during the Plan year. Eligible claims will be paid up to your total annual election even if you have not yet contributed that amount to your account.
Get Your Money 1. 2. 3. 4.
Complete and sign a claim form (available on our website) or an online claim. Attach documentation; such as an itemized bill or an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statement from a health insurance provider. Fax or mail signed form and documentation to NBS. Receive your non-taxable reimbursement after your claim is processed either by check or direct deposit.
NBS Flexcard—FSA Pre-paid Benefit Card Your employer may sponsor the use of the NBS Flexcard, making access to your flex dollars easier than ever. You may use the card to pay merchants or service providers that accept credit cards, so there is no need to pay cash up front then wait for reimbursement.
Account Information Participants may call NBS and talk to a representative during our regular business hours, Monday–Friday, 7am to 6pm Mountain Time.

Enrollment Considerations After the enrollment period ends, you may increase, decrease, or stop your contribution only when you experience a qualifying “change of status” (marriage status, employment change, dependent change). Be conservative in the total amount you elect to avoid forfeiting money that may be left in your account at the end of the year. Your employer may allow a short grace period after the Plan year ends for you to submit qualified claims for any unused funds.

A ground ambulance can cost up to

Medical Transport MASA provides medical emergency transportation solutions and covers your out of pocket medical transport cost when your insurance falls short. MASA does not use a network, which means you are covered anywhere.
THE TRUTH... Americans today suffer from a false sense of security that their medical coverage will pay for all costs associated with emergency or critical care transport. The reality is that a majority of Americans are only partially covered for these high costs. Most healthcare policies will only pay based off of the “Usual and Customary Charges” while Medicare pays based off a set fee schedule, both leaving you with the remainder of the bill. You face the possibility that your medical coverage will deny the claim leaving you responsible for the ENTIRE bill. We provide medical emergency transportation solutions AND cover your out of pocket medical transport cost when your insurance falls short.
MASA MTS for Employees Ensures...
NO health questions NO age limits Children covered to age 26 NO claim forms NO deductibles NO provider network limitations NO dollar limits on emergency transport costs
What is Covered?
Emergency Helicopter Transport Emergency Ground Ambulance Transport
How Much Does It Cost? MASA Emergent rates are $9 a month, per employee/family coverage.
Emergent Card Example:
“All I had to do was send the bill which was never paid by Medicare and TriCare for Life --- and the rest is history. When MASA received that bill, it was paid and all amounts owed satisfied.” --- MASA Member, 2015
