Potential Spouse Coverage Limitations: When enrolling in coverage, please keep in mind that some benefits may not allow you to cover your spouse as a dependent if your spouse is enrolled for coverage as an employee under the same employer. Review the applicable plan documents, contact Financial Benefit Services, or contact the insurance carrier for additional information on spouse eligibility. FSA/HSA Limitations: Please note, in general, per IRS regulations, married couples may not enroll in both a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and a Health Savings Account (HSA). If your spouse is covered under an FSA that reimburses for medical expenses then you and your spouse are not HSA eligible, even if you would not use your spouse's FSA to reimburse your expenses. However, there are some exceptions to the general limitation regarding specific types of FSAs. To obtain more information on whether you can enroll in a specific type of FSA or HSA as a married couple, please reach out to the FSA and/or HSA provider prior to enrolling or reach out to your tax advisor for further guidance. Potential Dependent Coverage Limitations: When enrolling for dependent coverage, please keep in mind that some benefits may not allow you to cover your eligible dependents if they are enrolled for coverage as an employee under the same employer. Review the applicable plan documents, contact Financial Benefit Services, or contact the insurance carrier for additional information on dependent eligibility. Disclaimer: You acknowledge that you have read the limitations and exclusions that may apply to obtaining spouse and dependent coverage, including limitations and exclusions that may apply to enrollment in Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts as a married couple. You, the enrollee, shall hold harmless, defend, and indemnify Financial Benefit Services, LLC from any and all claims, actions, suits, charges, and judgments whatsoever that arise out of the enrollee's enrollment in spouse and/or dependent coverage, including enrollment in Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts.

If your dependent is disabled, coverage may be able to continue past the maximum age under certain plans. If you have a disabled dependent who is reaching an ineligible age, you must provide a physician’s statement confirming your dependent’s disability. Contact your HR/Benefit Administrator to request a continuation of coverage. 9

Yes. Per occurrence: $250 Out-of-Network inpatient admission. There are no other specific deductibles.

Are there services covered before you meet your deductible?

You can see the specialist you choose without a referral.

The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay in a year for covered services. If you have other family members in this plan, they have to meet their own out-of-pocket limits until the overall family out-of-pocket limit has been met. Even though you pay these expenses, they don’t count toward the out-ofpocket limit. This plan uses a provider network. You will pay less if you use a provider in the plan’s network. You will pay the most if you use an out-of-Network provider, and you might receive a bill from a provider for the difference between the provider’s charge and what your plan pays (balance billing). Be aware, your network provider might use an out-of-Network provider for some services (such as lab work). Check with your provider before you get services.

Yes. Services that charge a copay, prescription drugs, inpatient hospital expenses, emergency room services, and certain preventive care, diagnostic test, home health, skilled nursing, and hospice are covered before you meet your deductible.

What is the out-ofpocket limit for this plan?

You must pay all of the costs for these services up to the specific deductible amount before this plan begins to pay for these services.

For In-Network: $500 Individual / $1,000 Family For Out-of-Network: $1,000 Individual / $2,000 Family

What is the overall deductible?

Why This Matters: Generally, you must pay all of the costs from providers up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay. If you have other family members on the plan, each family member must meet their own individual deductible until the total amount of deductible expenses paid by all family members meets the overall family deductible. This plan covers some items and services even if you haven’t yet met the deductible amount. But a copayment or coinsurance may apply. For example, this plan covers certain preventive services without cost sharing and before you meet your deductible. See a list of covered preventive services at www.healthcare.gov/coverage/preventive-care-benefits/.

Why is this coverage so valuable? •

• • • •

The money is paid directly to you — not to a hospital or care provider. The money can also help you pay the out-of-pocket expenses your medical plan may not cover, such as co-insurance, co-pays and deductibles. You get affordable rates when you buy this coverage at work. The cost is conveniently deducted from your paycheck. The benefits in this plan are compatible with a Health Savings Account (HSA). You may take the coverage with you if you leave the company or retire, without having to answer new health questions. You’ll be billed directly.

Who can get coverage? You: Your spouse: Your children:

If you’re actively at work Can get coverage as long as you have purchased coverage for yourself Dependent children newborn until their 26th birthday, regardless of marital or student status

Employee must purchase coverage for themselves in order to purchase spouse or child coverage.

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. A covered person is a person who is eligible for coverage under the certificate and for whom the coverage is in force. An eligible dependent means your lawful spouse; your natural, adopted or stepchild who is under the age of 26; and/or any child under the age of 26 who is under your charge, care and control, and who has been placed in your home for adoption, or for whom you are a party in a suit in which adoption of the child is sought; or any child under the age of 26 for whom you must provide medical support under an order issued under Chapter 154 of the Texas Family Code, or enforceable by a court in Texas; or grandchildren under the age of 26 if those grandchildren are your dependents for federal income tax purposes at the time application for coverage of the grandchild is made.

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

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.

Termination of Coverage

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.

Surgical 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 regardless of when a specified disease was diagnosed; 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.

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. The waiver of premium will begin on the next premium due date following the 60 consecutive days of disability. This benefit will continue for as long as you remain disabled until the earliest of either of the following: the date you are no longer disabled; the date coverage ends according to the termination provisions in the certificate; or the date coverage ends according to the termination provisions in this rider. Proof of disability must be provided for each new period of disability before a new waiver of premium benefit is payable.

Limitations and Exclusions

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.

Optionally Renewable

This policy/riders are optionally renewable. The policyholder or we have the right to terminate the policy/riders on any premium due date after the first anniversary following the policy/riders effective date. We must give at least 60 days written notice to the policyholder prior to cancellation.

Portability Rider

When the portability rider is in effect and coverage is not continued under COBRA, you have the option to port your coverage when the policy terminated for a reason other than non-payment of premium or cancelation or termination of the policy by APL. Evidence of insurability will not be required. You must make an election to port coverage and submit the first premium due within 31 days from the date APL notified the policyholder of your termination of coverage. All future premiums will be billed directly to you. Portability coverage will be effective on the day after coverage ends under the policy and any applicable exclusion periods or incontestability periods not yet met under the current policy, will only apply for the period of time that remains. The benefits, terms and conditions of the ported coverage will be the same as those under the policy immediately prior to the date the portability option was elected, except as stated in this paragraph. Once ported coverage is in effect, the termination of ported coverage section, as shown in the portability rider, prevails all other termination provisions of the policy, certificate and any attached riders. Your coverage levels cannot be increased or decreased. Ported coverage may include any eligible dependent(s) who were covered under the policy at the time of termination. No eligible dependent may be added to the ported coverage except as provided in the newborn and adopted child provision set out in your certificate. An eligible dependent may be removed at any time. Premiums will be adjusted accordingly. Termination of the policy will not terminate ported coverage. The benefits, terms and conditions of the ported coverage will be the same as if the group policy had remained in full force and effect, with no further obligation of the policyholder. Any premium collected beyond the termination date will be refunded promptly. This will not prejudice any claim that originated prior to the date termination took effect.

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 of this rider as the result of a Pre-Existing Condition.
