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. A specialist is any physician other than family practitioner, internist, OB/GYN or pediatrician. 1 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. 2 For ActiveCare 1-HD, certain generic preventive drugs are covered at 100%. Participants do not have to meet the deductible ($2,750 - individual, $5,500 - family) and they pay nothing out of pocket for these drugs. Find the list of drugs at info.caremark.com/trsactivecare. 3 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. 4 If the cost of the drug is less than the minimum, you will pay the cost of the drug. 5 Participants can fill 32-day to 90-day supply through mail order.

HSA (Health Savings Account)

YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE

PLAY VIDEO

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.

The interest earned in an HSA is tax free.

Money withdrawn for medical spending never falls under taxable income.

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 14 Friendswood ISD Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/friendswoodisd


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.

Using Funds 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.

2018 Annual HSA Contribution Limits Individual: $3,450 Family: $6,900 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.

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 non-eligible expenses will be taxed at your regular income tax rate but won’t incur additional penalties.

For a list of sample expenses, please refer to the Friendswood ISD benefit website at www.mybenefitshub.com/ friendswoodisd

FSA (Flexible Spending Account)

YOUR BENEFITS PACKAGE

PLAY VIDEO

About this Benefit A Cafeteria Plan is designed to take advantage of Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code. It allows you to pay certain qualified expenses on a pre-tax basis, thereby reducing your taxable income. You can set aside a pre-established amount of money per plan year in a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA). Funds allocated to a healthcare FSA must be used during the plan year or are forfeited unless your plan contains a $500 rollover or grace period provision.

Unlimited FSA (Non HSA Compatible) The funds in the unlimited healthcare FSA can be used to pay for eligible medical expenses like deductibles, co-payments, orthodontics, glasses and contacts.

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 account 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.

Health Care Expense Account Example Expenses:          

Acupuncture Body scans Breast pumps Chiropractor Co-payments Deductible Diabetes Maintenance Eye Exam & Glasses Fertility treatment First aid

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 +60 day grace period. Remember to retain all your receipts (including receipts for card swipes).

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/friendswoodisd 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!


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.

For services provided by a Cigna Dental PPO network dentist, Cigna Dental will reimburse the dentist according to a Fee Schedule or Discount Schedule. For services provided by a non-network dentist, Cigna Dental will reimburse according to the Maximum Reimbursable Charge. The MRC is calculated at the 90th percentile of all provider charges in the geographic area. The dentist may balance bill up to their usual fees. All deductibles, plan maximums, and service specific maximums cross accumulate between in-network and out-of-network.

This provision does not apply to new hires. Pretreatment review is available on a voluntary basis when dental work in excess of $200 is proposed. When more than one covered Dental Service could provide suitable treatment based on Common dental standards, Cigna will determine the covered Dental Service on which payment will be based and the expenses that will be included as Covered Expenses. Cigna Dental Oral Health Integration Program offers enhanced dental coverage for customers with the following medical conditions: diabetes, heart disease, stroke, maternity, head and neck cancer radiation, organ transplants and chronic kidney disease.

Eligible customers can also receive guidance on behavioral issues related to oral health and discounts on prescription and non-prescription dental products. Reimbursements under this program are not subject to the plan deductible, but will be applied to and are subject to the plan annual maximum.

GC14 Limited Benefit Group Specified Disease Cancer Indemnity Insurance 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.

Cancer Treatment Benefits Eligibility

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

Cancer Screening Benefits 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; losses or medical expenses incurred prior to the covered person’s effective date of this rider; or loss incurred during the pre-existing condition exclusion period following the covered person’s effective date of this rider as a result of a pre-existing condition. For the purpose of benefits under this rider, the waiting period will begin on the covered person’s effective date of this rider.

Termination of Cancer Screening Benefit Rider The above listed rider(s) will terminate and coverage will end for all covered persons on the earliest of: the end of the grace period if the premium for the rider remains unpaid; the date the policy or certificate to which the rider is attached terminates; the end of the certificate month in which APL receives a request from the policyholder to terminate the rider; or the date of your death. Coverage on an eligible dependent terminates under the rider when such person ceases to meet the definition of eligible dependent.

The policy pays only for loss resulting from definitive cancer treatment including direct extension, metastatic spread or recurrence. Proof must be submitted to support each claim. The policy also covers other conditions or diseases directly caused by cancer or the treatment of cancer. The policy does not cover any other disease, sickness or incapacity which existed prior to the diagnosis of cancer, even though after contracting cancer it may have been complicated, aggravated or affected by cancer or the treatment of cancer.

Internal Cancer First Occurrence Benefits

Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion

We will not pay benefits for a diagnosis of internal cancer received outside the territorial limits of the United States or a metastasis to a new site of any cancer diagnosed prior to the covered person’s effective date, as this is not considered a first diagnosis of an internal cancer.

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, incontestability and pre-existing condition exclusion for such increase will be based on the effective date of such increase.

Waiting Period

The policy and any attached riders contain a waiting period during which no benefits will be paid. If any covered person has a specified disease diagnosed before the end of the waiting period immediately following the covered person’s effective date, coverage for that person will apply only to loss that is incurred after one year from the covered person’s effective date. If any covered person is diagnosed as having a specified disease during the waiting period immediately following the covered person’s effective date, you may elect to void the certificate from the beginning and receive a full refund of premium. If the policy replaced group specified disease cancer coverage from any company that terminated within 30 days of the certificate effective date, the waiting period will be waived for those covered persons that were covered under the prior coverage. However, the pre-existing condition exclusion provision will still apply.

Termination of Certificate

Insurance coverage under the certificate and any attached riders will end on the earliest of these dates: the date the policy terminates; the end of the grace period if the premium remains unpaid; the date insurance has ceased on all persons covered under this certificate; the end of the certificate month in which the policyholder requests to terminate this coverage; the date you no longer qualify as an insured; or the date of your death.

Insurance coverage for a covered person under the certificate and any attached riders for a covered person will end as follows: the date the policy terminates; the date the certificate terminates; the end of the grace period if the premium remains unpaid; the end of the certificate month in which the policyholder requests to terminate the coverage for an eligible dependent; the date a covered person no longer qualifies as an insured or eligible dependent; or the date of the covered person’s death. We may end the coverage of any Covered Person who submits a fraudulent claim. 46

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 54 Friendswood ISD Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/friendswoodisd


Term Life with Terminal Illness and Quality of Life Rider The Family Protection Plan: Term Life Insurance with Terminal Illness Coverage to Age 100 Nearly 85% of Americans say most people need life insurance; unfortunately only 62% have coverage and a staggering 33% say they don’t have enough life insurance, including one-fourth who already have life insurance coverage.** Nobody wants to be a statistic - especially during a period of grief. That’s why 5Star Life Insurance Company developed its FPP policy - to ensure you and your loved ones are covered during a period of loss.

Affordability - With several options to choose from, select the coverage that best meets the needs of your family. Terminal Illness - This plan pays the insured 30% (25% in Connecticut and Michigan) of the policy coverage amount in a lump sum upon the occurrence of a terminal condition that will result in a limited life span of less than 12 months. Portability - You and your family continue coverage with no loss of benefits or increase in cost should you terminate employment after the first premium is paid. If this happens, we can simply bill you directly. Coverage can never be cancelled by the insurance company or your employer unless you stop paying premiums.

DID YOU KNOW? Protecting your financial well being is easier than you think. It’s like trading in a daily latte for peace of mind.

$4.30 per day to start your morning with a $1.75

gourmet coffee OR per day to enrich your employee benefits package

It’s less expensive than you think.

Family Protection - Individual policies can be purchased on the employee, their spouse, children and grandchildren (ages 15 days to age 24). Quality of Life Benefit - Following a diagnosis of either a chronic illness or cognitive impairment, this rider accelerates a portion of the death benefit on a monthly basis – 4%; up to 75% of your benefit, and payable directly to you on a tax favored basis for the following:  Permanent inability to perform at least two of the six Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) without substantial assistance; or  Permanent severe cognitive impairment, such as dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of senility, requiring substantial supervision. Convenience - Premiums are taken care of simply and easily through payroll deductions. Protection You Can Count On - Within 24 hours after receiving notice of an insured’s death, an emergency death benefit of the lesser of 50% of the coverage amount, or $10,000, will be mailed to the insured’s beneficiary, unless the death is within the twoyear contestability period and/or under investigation. This product also contains no war or terrorism exclusions. * Life insurance product underwritten by 5Star Life insurance Company (a Baton Rouge, Louisiana company) with an administrative office at 909 N.

About this Benefit

2/3

Accident insurance is designed to supplement your medical insurance coverage by covering indirect costs that can arise with a serious, or a not-soserious, injury. Accident coverage is low cost protection available to you and your family without evidence of insurability.

of disabling injuries suffered by American workers are not work related. American workers 36% ofreport they always or

usually live paycheck to paycheck.

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 58 Friendswood ISD Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/friendswoodisd


Accident What is accident insurance? Accident insurance offers financial protection by paying a cash benefit if you or an insured dependent are unexpectedly injured in a covered accident. This coverage is offered by your employer which you pay for through convenient deductions from your paycheck. The benefits are paid in lump sum amounts to you (or your beneficiary), and can be used to help pay for health care expenses not covered by your major medical insurance, help replace income lost while not working, or however you choose. This highlight sheet is an overview of your accident insurance. A certificate of insurance will be available after you enroll to explain your coverage in detail.

Who is eligible? You are eligible if you are an active employee who works at least 18.75 hours per week on a regularly scheduled basis, and are less than age 80. Your spouse (includes domestic partner) must also be less than age 80 to be eligible for coverage, and your dependent child(ren) must be under age 26 to be eligible.

When can I enroll? You can enroll during any scheduled enrollment period, within 31 days of the date you have a change in family status, or within 31 days of the completion of any eligibility waiting period established by your employer.

How much coverage can I purchase? Two accident plans are available to you, Option 1: Plan 2 and Option 2: Plan 3. You have the flexibility to enroll for the plan that best meets your financial protection needs. Unless otherwise noted, the benefit amounts payable under each plan are the same for you and your dependent(s).

Am I guaranteed coverage? During designated enrollment periods, this coverage is offered without having to provide information about your or your family’s health. This is called “guaranteed issue” coverage – all you have to do is check the box to enroll and become insured.

I already have medical and disability insurance. Why do I need this too? Costs associated with an accident can add up even with other types of insurance. Once treatment for an injury begins, deductibles and cost sharing (co-pays and/or

coinsurance), and limitations on benefits found in some medical insurance plans may quickly lead to high out-of-pocket costs. In addition, disability insurance will only replace a portion of your income, not all of it. Accident insurance benefits can help cover what other insurance products don’t.

What is covered? This insurance provides benefits for medical treatment and services related to accidental injuries Benefits for specific types of injuries and catastrophic injuries (including accidental death) are also available. Please refer to the benefits table on the following page for more detailed plan information.

Can I keep this insurance if I leave my employer? Yes, you can take this coverage with you. If you leave your employer, you may continue coverage for you and your dependent(s) under a group portability policy. Your spouse may also continue insurance in certain circumstances.

Exclusions This insurance does not provide benefits for any loss that results from or is caused by:  Suicide or attempted suicide, whether sane or insane, or intentionally self-inflicted injury  War or act of war, whether declared or undeclared, or a nuclear, chemical, biological, or radiological event  A covered person's participation in a felony, riot or insurrection  A covered person's service in the armed forces or units auxiliary to it  A covered person's taking drugs, unless as prescribed by or administered by a physician, or being intoxicated as defined by the jurisdiction in which the cause of loss was incurred  While a covered person is on any aircraft: as a pilot, crewmember or student pilot; as a flight instructor or examiner; if it is owned, operated or leased by or on behalf of the policyholder, or any employer or organization whose eligible persons are covered under the policy; or being used for tests, experimental purposes, stunt flying, racing or endurance tests  Operating, learning to operate, serving as a crew member of or jumping or falling from any aircraft  Riding in or driving any motor-driven vehicle in a race, stunt show or speed test All exclusions may not be applicable, or may be adjusted, as required by state regulations in the situs state of a group.

It in no way changes or affects the policy as actually issued.

Medical Transport

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 62 Friendswood ISD Benefits Website: www.mybenefitshub.com/friendswoodisd


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 within the U.S. or Canada.

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.

MASA MTS for Employees Ensures...      

NO health questions NO age limits 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 rate is $14 a month and covers the employee, spouse and eligible dependents to age 26.

Emergent Card Example:

We provide medical emergency transportation solutions AND cover your out of pocket medical transport cost when your insurance falls short. “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
