Annual Benefit Enrollment
SUMMARY PAGES
Benefit Updates:
Benefit elections will become effective 9/1/2018(elections requiring evidence of insurability, such as life Insurance, may have a later effective date, if approved). After annual enrollment closes, benefit changes can only be made if you experience a qualifying event (and changes must be made within 30 days of event).
NEW! AD&D coverage is no longer with AXIS Global the new AD&D carrier is Cigna.
5 Star - Family Protection Plan—An individual term life insurance protection plan with a Terminal Illness Plan and Quality of Life Rider that pays a lump sum advance benefit on terminal illness diagnosis and pays up to 18 months of Long Term Care if needed. If you are a new hire, this benefit will be offered on a Guaranteed Issue Basis (no health questions) during this enrollment only. Can be purchased for employees, spouse, children and grandchildren through age 23. Premium rates are locked to age 100. With Lifeworks EAP and Work-Life Services, employees and their families will have access to confidential assistance and support on a wide range of issues in the areas of life, health, family, work and money. The EAP is a 24/7 operation via telephone, so there are no changes in service delivery during nonbusiness hours.

If you are currently covered by the Allstate Heart/Stroke plan and would like the new benefit please contact your benefits office to stop your Allstate plan. APL Accident insurance is designed to supplement your medical insurance coverage by covering costs that can arise with a serious, or not-so-serious injury. Accident coverage is low cost protection available to you and your family without evident of insurability. For example: Daily Hospital Confinement Benefit, Air and Ground Ambulance Benefit and more. Reminder, If you currently participate in a Healthcare or Dependent Care FSA, you MUST re-elect a new contribution.

SUMMARY PAGES
Section 125 Cafeteria Plan Guidelines A Cafeteria plan enables you to save money by using pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible group insurance premiums sponsored and offered by your employer. Enrollment is automatic unless you decline this benefit. Elections made during annual enrollment will become effective on the plan effective date and will remain in effect during the entire plan year. CHANGES IN STATUS (CIS):
Changes in benefit elections can occur only if you experience a qualifying event. You must present proof of a qualifying event to your Benefit Office within 30 days of your qualifying event and meet with your Benefit/HR Office to complete and sign the necessary paperwork in order to make a benefit election change. Benefit changes must be consistent with the qualifying event. QUALIFYING EVENTS
Marital Status
A change in marital status includes marriage, death of a spouse, divorce or annulment (legal separation is not recognized in all states).
Change in Number of Tax Dependents
A change in number of dependents includes the following: birth, adoption and placement for adoption. You can add existing dependents not previously enrolled whenever a dependent gains eligibility as a result of a valid change in status event.
Change in Status of Employment Affecting Coverage Eligibility
Change in employment status of the employee, or a spouse or dependent of the employee, that affects the individual's eligibility under an employer's plan includes commencement or termination of employment.
An event that causes an employee's dependent to satisfy or cease to satisfy coverage requirements Gain/Loss of Dependents' under an employer's plan may include change in age, student, marital, employment or tax dependent Eligibility Status status. If a judgment, decree, or order from a divorce, annulment or change in legal custody requires that you provide accident or health coverage for your dependent child (including a foster child who is your dependent), you may change your election to provide coverage for the dependent child. If the order Judgment/Decree/Order requires that another individual (including your spouse and former spouse) covers the dependent child and provides coverage under that individual's plan, you may change your election to revoke coverage only for that dependent child and only if the other individual actually provides the coverage. Eligibility for Gain or loss of Medicare/Medicaid coverage may trigger a permitted election change. Government Programs

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.

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.

HSA (Health Savings Account) HSA Bank has teamed up with your employer to create an affordable health coverage option that helps you save on healthcare expenses. This plan is only available for those who are participating in the Active Care 1-HD medical plan. You may not enroll in the MEDlink® plan if you participate in the HSA. Depending on your district, you may or may not be able to participate in the FSA plan if you participate in HSA. Medicare, Medicaid, and Tricare participants are not eligible to participate in an HSA. 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. A way to accumulate additional retirement savings. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty.
Monthly Fee: Your account will be charged a monthly fee of $1.75, waived with an average daily balance at or above $3,000.
Examples of Qualified Medical Expenses

Using Funds Debit Card You may use the card to pay merchants or service providers that accept VISA credit cards, so there is no need to pay cash up front and wait for reimbursements. You can make a withdrawal at any time. Reimbursements for qualified medical expenses are tax free. If you are disabled or reach age 65, you can receive non-medical distributions without penalty, but you must report the distributions as taxable income.

How the HSA Plan Works A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an individually-owned, taxadvantaged account that you can use to pay for current or future IRS-qualified medical expenses. With an HSA, you’ll have the potential to build more savings for healthcare expenses or additional retirement savings through selfdirected investment options1.
How an HSA works:
You can contribute to your HSA via payroll deduction, online banking transfer, or by sending a personal check to HSA Bank. Your employer or third parties, such as a spouse or parent, may contribute to your account as well. You can pay for qualified medical expenses with your HSA Bank Debit Card directly to your medical provider or pay out-of-pocket. You can either choose to reimburse yourself or keep the funds in your HSA to grow your savings. Unused funds will roll over year to year. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty (subject to ordinary income taxes). Check balances and account information via HSA Bank’s Internet Banking 24/7.
Are you eligible for an HSA? If you have a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) either through your employer, through your spouse, or one you’ve purchased on your own - chances are you can open an HSA. Additionally: You cannot be covered by any other non-HSA-compatible health plan, including Medicare Parts A and B. You cannot be covered by TriCare. You cannot have accessed your VA medical benefits in the past 90 days (to contribute to an HSA). You cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return (unless it’s your spouse). You must be covered by the qualified HDHP on the first day of the month. When you open an account, HSA Bank will request certain information to verify your identity and to process your application.
What are the annual IRS contribution limits? Contributions made by all parties to an HSA cannot exceed the annual HSA limit set by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Anyone can contribute to your HSA, but only the accountholder and employer can receive tax deductions on those contributions. Combined annual contributions for the accountholder, employer, and third parties (i.e., parent, spouse, or anyone else) must not exceed these limits2. 20
How can you benefit from tax savings? An HSA provides triple tax savings3. Here’s how: Contributions to your HSA can be made with pre-tax dollars and any after-tax contributions that you make to your HSA are tax deductible. HSA funds earn interest and investment earnings are tax free. When used for IRS-qualified medical expenses, distributions are free from tax.
IRS-Qualified Medical Expenses You can use your 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 taxfree. HSA funds can be used to reimburse yourself for past medical expenses if the expense was incurred after your HSA was established. While you do not need to submit any receipts to HSA Bank, you must save your bills and receipts for tax purposes.
How the HSA Plan Works Examples of IRS-Qualified Medical Expenses4: Acupuncture Alcoholism treatment Ambulance services Annual physical examination Artificial limb or prosthesis Birth control pills (by prescription) Chiropractor Childbirth/delivery Convalescent home (for medical treatment only) Crutches Doctor’s fees Dental treatments (including x-rays, braces, dentures, fillings, oral surgery) Dermatologist Diagnostic services Disabled dependent care Drug addiction therapy Fertility enhancement (including in-vitro fertilization) Guide dog (or other service animal)

1 Investment accounts are not FDIC insured, may lose value and are not a deposit or other obligation of, or guarantee by the bank. Investment losses which are replaced are subject to the annual contribution limits of the HSA. 2 HSA funds contributed in excess of these limits are subject to penalty and tax unless the excess and earnings are withdrawn prior to the due date, including any extensions for filing Federal Tax returns. Accountholders should consult with a qualified tax advisor in connection with excess contribution removal. The Internal Revenue Service requires HSA Bank to report withdrawals that are considered refunds of excess contributions. In order for the withdrawal to be accurately reported, accountholders may not withdraw the excess directly. Instead, an excess contribution refund must be requested from HSA Bank and an Excess Contribution Removal Form completed. 3 Federal Tax savings are available no matter where you live and HSAs are taxable in AL, CA, and NJ. HSA Bank does not provide tax advice. Consult your tax professional for tax‐related questions. 4 This list is not comprehensive. It is provided to you with the understanding that HSA Bank is not engaged in rendering tax advice. The information provided is not intended to be used to avoid Federal tax penalties. For more detailed information, please refer to IRS Publication 502 titled, “Medical and Dental Expenses”. Publications can be ordered directly from the IRS by calling 1-800-TAXFORM. If tax advice is required, you should seek the services of a professional. 5 Insurance premiums only qualify as an IRS-qualified medical expense: while continuing coverage under COBRA; for qualified long-term care coverage; coverage while receiving unemployment compensation; for any healthcare coverage for those over age 65 including Medicare (except Medicare supplemental coverage). 21

Receiving regular dental care can not only catch minor problems before they become major and expensive to treat - it may even help improve your overall health. Gum disease is increasingly being linked to complications for pre-term birth, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, osteoporosis and other health issues. That’s why this dental plan includes Cigna Dental WellnessPlusSM features. When you or your family members receive any preventive care in one plan year, the annual dollar maximum will increase in the following plan year. When you or your family members remain enrolled in the plan and continue to receive preventive care, the annual dollar maximum will increase in the following plan year, until it reaches the level specified below. Please refer to your plan materials for additional information on this plan feature.

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. Benefit frequency limitations are based on the date of service and cross accumulate between in and out of network. The plan will only pay for covered charges up to the yearly Benefits Maximum, when applicable. Benefit-specific Maximums may also apply. This is the amount you must pay before the plan begins to pay for covered charges, when applicable. Benefit-specific deductibles may also apply. Payment will be reduced by 50% for Class III & IV services for 12 months for eligible members that are allowed to enroll in this plan outside of the designated open enrollment period. 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. There’s no additional charge for the program – those who qualify get reimbursed 100% of coinsurance for certain related dental procedures. 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. Discounts on certain prescription and non-prescription dental products are available through Cigna Home Delivery Pharmacy only, and you are required to pay the entire discounted charge.

APSB-22339(TX)-0615 MGM/FBS Huntsville ISD
GC14 Limited Benefit Group 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 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.
Pre-Existing Condition Exclusion 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.
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.
APSB-22339(TX)-0615 MGM/FBS Huntsville ISD

We may end the coverage of any Covered Person who submits a fraudulent claim.

Miscellaneous Benefits Waiver of Premium When the certificate is in force and you become disabled, we will waive all premiums due including premiums for any riders attached to the certificate. Disability must be due to cancer and occur while receiving treatment for such cancer. You must remain disabled for 60 continuous days before this benefit will begin.

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. Family Protection—Individual policies can be purchased on the employee, their spouse, children and grandchildren. Children & Grandchildren Plan—Policies can be purchased for children and grandchildren ages newborn through 23. 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 two-year contestability period and/or under investigation. This product also contains no war or terrorism exclusions.
For example, in case of chronic illness, you would receive $3,586 each month up to $67,241.25. The remainder death benefit of $22,413.75 would be made payable to your beneficiary.

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 and contributions are use-it-or- lose-it. Remember to retain all your receipts.
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/huntsvilleisd

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 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/ huntsvilleisd 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. 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.

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.

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.
MASA MTS for Employees Ensures...
NO health questions NO age limits for employee and spouse NO claim forms NO deductibles NO provider network limitations NO dollar limits on emergency transport costs Children covered to age 26
What is Covered?
Emergency Helicopter Transport Emergency Ground Ambulance Transport
How Much Does It Cost? MASA Emergent rates are $14 a month, per employee/ family coverage.
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
