Summary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What You Pay for Covered Services

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina: Blue Options Coverage for: Individual + Family Plan Type:

The Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) document will help you choose a health plan. The SBC shows you how you and the plan would share the cost for covered health care services. NOTE: Information about the cost of this plan (called the premium) will be provided separately. This is only a summary. For more information about your coverage, or to get a copy of the complete terms of coverage, visit www.bluecrossnc.com/booklets. For general definitions of common terms, such as allowed amount, balance billing, coinsurance, copayment, deductible, provider, or other underlined terms, see the Glossary. You can view the Glossary at www.healthcare.gov/sbc-glossary or call 1-877-258-3334 to request a copy. Important Questions Answers

What is the overall deductible?

Are there services covered before you meet your deductible?

Are there other deductibles for specific services?

What is the out-ofpocket limit for this plan?

What is not included in the out-of-pocket limit?

In-Network: $5,000 Individual/$10,000

Family. Out-of-Network: $10,000

Individual/$20,000 Family.

Yes. Preventive care and most services that may require a copayment

No.

In-Network: $9,100 Individual/$18,200

Family. Out-of-Network: $18,200 Individual/$36,400 Family.

Premiums, balance-billing charges, health care this plan doesn't cover and penalties for failure to obtain preauthorization for services.

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 https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/ preventive-care-benefits/.

You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services.

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–of–pocket limit

Will you pay less if you use a network provider?

Do you need a referral to see a specialist?

Yes. See www.bluecrossnc.com/FindADoctor or call 1-877-258-3334 for a list of network providers

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-ofnetwork provider for some services (such as lab work). Check with your provider before you get services.

You can see the specialist you choose without a referral

All copayment and coinsurance costs shown in this chart are after your deductible has been met, if a deductible applies.

FAQs

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) is excited to offer telehealth services from Teladoc. With telehealth, you can see or speak with a board-certified doctor or behavioral health specialist via phone, computer or the Teladoc app. Teladoc’s doctors can diagnose symptoms, prescribe non-narcotic medication (if needed) and send e-prescriptions to your local pharmacy.1

Telehealth is a good care option for minor health problems when you can’t see your regular doctor. It’s also a convenient choice when you want to speak to a counselor or therapist. Below, you’ll find answers to questions you may have about this benefit.

GETTING STARTED

Should I wait until I’m sick to create a Teladoc account?

It’s best to activate your account now. That way, it’s ready when you need it. (There’s no charge for signing up.) Be sure to fill out your medical history profile and indicate your preferred pharmacy should you need a prescription called in.

Does this replace my primary care doctor?

Teladoc is a convenient alternative to your doctor for non-emergency conditions. In fact, we encourage you to list your primary care doctor when activating your Teladoc account. That way, you can share the results of your consult with them –and your medical records stay up-to-date.

Is it private and secure?

Absolutely. Teladoc complies with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). It uses secure video through your computer, tablet or the Teladoc mobile app. You may also choose to visit with a doctor by phone. Your personal health information is never shared with your employer.

What devices are supported?

You can access Teladoc on mobile or land lines as well as most Apple and Android mobile devices by downloading the Teladoc app. On a desktop or laptop, you’ll need a high-speed internet connection, a webcam with a resolution of at least 1.3 megapixels and a microphone (most webcams have a built-in microphone). After activating your account, you can test that your computer setup will work if you’ve chosen a video visit.

Teladoc telehealth services for minor acute care and behavioral health So it’s ready when you need it! 3 ways to sign up today Download the Teladoc mobile app (iOS- / Android-supported) Go to Teladoc.com and click “Log in/Register” Call 1-800-835-2362 (1-800-TELADOC) Please Note: You must wait until your health plan effective date before registering for telehealth services.

HOW TO USE IT

Who are the Teladoc doctors?

All Teladoc doctors are U.S. board-certified with 15 years of experience, on average. Their specialties include primary care, pediatrics and family medicine. So, they can treat a wide range of conditions. For behavioral health, Teladoc has a national network of licensed doctoral-level psychologists and master’s level counselors, as well as board-certified psychiatrists. When you log in, you’ll only be shown doctors licensed to practice in the state you’re located in at the time of the visit.

What is the difference between counselors and psychiatrists?

Counselors provide guidance and support by talking to you. They do not prescribe medications. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who primarily prescribe medication for the treatment of behavioral health conditions.

Can a doctor prescribe medication from a consult?

If the Teladoc doctor believes a prescription is needed, he or she can write one for non-narcotic medicines.1 It’s sent electronically to your pharmacy of choice.

Can I use this for my child?

Yes. Teladoc has pediatricians on call. When you register, set up your child’s record under your account. Parents must be present on any consult for children under age 18.2,3

Can I rate the Teladoc doctors I see?

We encourage it! After a consult, you’ll get a survey to give feedback on the doctor you saw. The results are reviewed for quality as part of Teladoc’s continuous improvement process. Teladoc’s internal medical board also reviews randomly selected appointments.

I have a question that isn’t listed here. What should I do?

For questions about Teladoc, visit Teladoc.com . For questions about your insurance, please call the phone number on your Blue Cross NC member ID card.

What does it cost?

With Teladoc, the cost is transparent. You’ll see prices once you log in to your account. This means you know what you’ll be paying before you start a consult. You’ll only be charged after you choose to consult with an Teladoc doctor – and your appointment time and payment details are confirmed. Teladoc accepts most major credit and debit cards, and it’s a qualified expense for HSAs, HRAs and FSAs. You can cancel an appointment for a full refund if it’s at least 24 hours in advance.

Teladoc Acute Care and Behavioral Health Consultations Fees Type of Provider/Visit Fee Initial Psychiatric Visit* $180 Ongoing Psychiatric Visits for Individual/Family $95 Initial Therapist Visit** $95 Ongoing Therapist Visits $85 General Medicine / Acute Care $55 The

fees noted are the most you will pay for a service. Some plans will have a copay or deductible and coinsurance based on what your employer has chosen. Once you register, your Teladoc portal will reflect the correct cost share for your plan.

Teladoc charges a flat fee regardless of length of visit but consultation fees vary by type of provider/visit. Member’s cost share will apply. Employers may pay up to these amounts depending on plan. HSA plans are subject to deductible.

** Therapists include psychologists, licensed social workers and family therapists.

WHEN TO USE IT

When can I use Teladoc?

Phone and video consults are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week (including holidays) for minor acute care. Behavioral health services are available by appointment seven days a week.

Is it right for any medical problem?

Teladoc is designed to handle non-emergency medical conditions like the flu or pink eye. It’s not intended to replace your primary care doctor. And it should not be used in medical emergencies. If you have a life-threatening emergency, call 911 right away.

What conditions can Teladoc treat for acute care?

• Diarrhea

• Ear problems

• Headaches

• Insect bites

WE’RE TAKING WELLNESS to a whole new level

Healthy and happy employees tend to be more productive. That’s one of the reasons employers work so hard to promote and encourage healthy habits. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (Blue Cross NC) wants you to know you’re not in this alone.

As part of our commitment to our members and the business community, Blue Cross NC is always looking for ways to increase impact and participation in our wellness focused offerings. To that end, we created a new Wellness Engagement program that integrates our expertise in health care initiatives and education with a robust platform provided by Rally Health, featuring improved engagement tactics to help people achieve better health. Participants get a more personalized experience without additional administration by employers.

Why wellness is different with us

Fun and personalized user experience.

Each member’s wellness portal content is personalized based on their health survey answers. And with the “maximum incentive structure” in the packages as well as the portal’s built-in activities, members can choose the activities that are meaningful to them.

More reward opportunities.

The wellness portal integrates gift card fulfillment and redemption, as well as incentives in the form of Rally® Coins earned for everyday actions that contribute to health. With smaller reward increments, members have opportunities to earn incentives almost every time they log in, leading to more frequent engagement.

Wellness on the go: mobile app & wearable devices.

In addition to web access, the wellness portal also comes in the form of an app for AndroidTM or iPhone®. Members can engage on the go and even sync to track steps with their phone, smartwatch or other wearable device, such as FitBit® or Garmin®

More than wellness.

This initiative goes beyond standard wellness by encouraging members to maximize their health plan with resources and information that helps them make the best health care and lifestyle choices.

For fully-insured employers

Bringing it all together

Our Wellness Engagement program builds on tried and true engagement tactics like personalized experiences truly built for the member and an online community to inspire commitment. The portal integrates with technology they are already using, connecting members and their actions for measurable success. And gamification provides incentives for meaningful progress toward wellness, for the total package.

Personalized, mobile, consumer-focused wellness programs encourage and support employees to make incremental changes.1

Dental Benefits

Metropolitan Life Insurance Company

Overview of Benefits for: CHOWAN COUNTY

The Preferred Dentist Program was designed to help you get the dental care you need and help lower your costs. You get benefits for a wide range of covered services — both in and out of the network. The goal is to deliver affordable protection for a healthier smile and a healthier you.

Understanding Your Dental Benefits Plan

With the MetLife Preferred Dentist Program you can visit the dentist of your choice – an “in-network” dentist (a participating MetLife dentist) or an “out-ofnetwork” dentist.

· Plan benefits for in-network services are based on the percentage of the Negotiated fee –the fee that in-network dentists have agreed to accept as payment in full for covered services, subject to any co-payments, deductibles, cost sharing and benefit maximums. Negotiated fees are subject to change.

· Plan benefits for out-of-network services are based on a percentage of the Reasonable and Customary (R&C) charge. If you choose a dentist who does not participate in the network, your out-of-pocket expenses may be higher, since you will be responsible for paying any difference between the dentist's fee and your plan's payment for the approved service. Please refer to the Selected Covered Services and Frequency Limitations page of this document for details regarding how R&C charges are defined under this plan.

Certain plan benefits are based on a percentage of the negotiated fee. This is the amount that participating dentists have agreed to accept as payment in full. If your plan benefits are based on a percentage of the Reasonable and Customary (R&C) charges, your out-of-pocket expenses may be more, since you will be responsible for paying any difference between the dentist's fee and your plan's payment for the approved service.

*If you are enrolled for dependent coverage, a maximum family deductible may apply. Savings from enrolling in a dental benefits plan will depend on various factors, including the cost of the plan, how often participants visit the dentist and the cost of services rendered.

The service categories and plan limitations shown in this document represent an overview of your plan benefits, but are not a complete description of the plan.Before making any purchase or enrollment decision you should review the certificate of insurance which is available through MetLife or your employer. In the event of a conflict between this overview and your certificate of insurance, your certificate of insurance governs. Like most group dental insurance policies, MetLife group policies contain certain exclusions, limitations and waiting periods and terms for keeping them in force. The certificate of insurance sets forth all plan terms and provisions, including all exclusions and limitations.

*Alternate Benefits: Your dental plan provides that if there are two or more professionally acceptable dental treatment alternatives for a dental condition, your plan bases reimbursement, and the associated procedure charge, on the least costly treatment alternative. If you and your dentist have agreed on a treatment that is more costly than the treatment upon which the plan benefit is based, you will be responsible for any additional payment responsibility. To avoid any misunderstandings, we suggest you discuss treatment options with your dentist before services are rendered, and obtain a pretreatment estimate of benefits prior to receiving certain high cost services such as crowns, bridges or dentures. You and your dentist will each receive an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) outlining the services provided, your plan’s reimbursement for those services, and your out-of-pocket expense. Actual payments may vary from the pretreatment estimate depending upon annual maximums, plan frequency limits, deductibles and other limits applicable at time of payment.

1. The Reasonable and Customary charge is based on the lowest of the: "Actual Charge" (the dentist’s actual charge); or "Usual Charge" (the dentist’s usual charge for the same or similar services); or "Customary Charge" (the 90th percentile charge of most dentists in the same geographic area for the same or similar services as determined by MetLife).

COMMON QUESTIONS… IMPORTANT ANSWERS

Who is a participating dentist?

A participating dentist is a general dentist or specialist who has agreed to accept MetLife's negotiated fees as payment in full for services provided to plan participants. Based on internal analysis by MetLife, negotiated fees typically range from 15-45% below the average fees charged for the same services by dentists in the same geographic area.

*Negotiated Fees refers to the fees that in-network dentists have agreed to accept as payment in full for covered services, subject to any copayments, deductibles, cost sharing and benefits maximums.Negotiated fees are subject to change.

How do I find a participating dentist?

You can access a list of participating dentists with directions and mapping capabilities online at www.metlife.com/dental or call 1-800-ASK-4-MET (800-275-4638) to have a list faxed or mailed to you based upon the requested ZIP code. Please Note: Be sure to verify provider participation when you make your appointment.

May I choose a non-participating dentist?

Yes. You are always free to select the dentist of your choice. However, if you choose a dentist who does not participate in the MetLife program, your out-of-pocket expenses may be greater, since you will be responsible to pay for any difference between the dentist's fee and your plan's payment for the approved service. If you receive services from a participating dentist, you are only responsible for the difference between the in-network fee for the service provided and your plan's payment for the approved service. Please note: any plan deductibles must be met before benefits are paid.

Canmy dentist apply for participation in network?

Yes. If your current dentist does not participate in the MetLife network and you would like to encourage him or her to apply, tell your dentist to visit www.metdental.com, or call 1-877-MET-DDS9 for an application. The website and phone number are designed for use by dental professionals only.

How are claims processed?

Dentists may submit your claims for you, which means you have little or no paperwork. You can track your claims online and even receive e-mail alerts when a claim has been processed. If you need a claim form, you can find one online at www.metlife.com/dental or request one by calling 1-800-ASK-4-MET (800-275-4638).

Can I find out what my out-of-pocket expenses will be before receiving a service?

Yes. With pre-treatment estimates, you never have to wonder what your out-of-pocket expense will be. MetLife recommends that you request a pre-treatment estimate for services in excess of $300 (This often applies to services such as crowns, bridges, inlays, and periodontics). To receive a benefit estimate, simply have your dentist submit a request for a pre-treatment estimate online at www.metdental.com or call 1-877-MET-DDS9 (638-3379). You and your dentist will receive a benefit estimate online or by fax for most procedures while you are still in the office so you can discuss treatment and payment options and have the procedure scheduled on the spot. Actual payments may vary depending upon plan maximums, deductibles, frequency limits and other conditions at time of payment.

Do I need an ID card?

No, you do not need to present an ID card to confirm that you are eligible. You should notify your dentist that you participate in MetLife's PDP. Your dentist can easily verify information about your coverage through a toll-free automated Computer Voice Response system.

Do my dependents have to visit the same dentist that I select?

No, you and your dependents each have the freedom to choose any dentist.

If I do not enroll during my initial enrollment period can I still purchase Dental Insurance at a later date?

Yes, eligible employees who do not elect coverage during their 31-day application period may still elect coverage later. Dental coverage elected after the 31-day application period is subject to the following waiting periods:*

•No waiting period for Preventive Services

•6 months on Basic Restorative (Fillings)

•12 months on all other Basic Services

•24 months on Major Services

•24 months on Orthodontia Services (if applicable)

*If the policy holder participates in a section 125 planand has an annual open enrollment period, the dental coverage will not be subject to any waiting periods. Please consult your Benefits Administrator or your certificate for this plan information.

Am I eligible for all benefits the first day of coverage?

Your plan may include benefit waiting periods.Please refer to the certificate of insurance or your Benefits Administrator for details about the services that are subject to the waiting periods and the length of time they apply.

How can I learn about what dentists in my area charge for different procedures?

If you have MyBenefits you can access the Dental Procedure Tool. You can use the tool to look up average in- and out-of-network fees for dental services in your area.* You’ll find fees for services such as exams, cleanings, fillings, crowns, and more. Just log in at www.metlife.com/mybenefits.

*The Dental Procedure Fee Tool application is provided by VerifPoint, an independent vendor. Network fee information is supplied to VerifPoint by MetLife and is not available for providers who participate with MetLife through a third-party. Out-of-network fee information is provided by VerifPoint. This tool does not provide the payment information used by MetLife when processing your claims. Prior to receiving services, pretreatment estimates through your dentist will provide the most accurate fee and payment information

Can MetLife help me find a dentist outside of the U.S. if I am traveling?

Yes. Through MetLife’s International Dental Travel Assistance program1 you can obtain a referral to a local dentist by calling 1-312-356-5970 (collect) when outside the U.S. to receive immediate care until you can see your dentist. Coverage will be considered under your out-of-network2 benefits. Please remember to hold on to all receipts to submit a dental claim.

Individual Short-Term Disability Insurance

You never know when a disability could impact your way of life. Fortunately, there’s a way to help protect your income. If an accident or sickness prevents you from earning a paycheck, disability insurance can provide a monthly benefit to help you cover your ongoing expenses.

Can you afford to not protect your paycheck?

You don’t have the same lifestyle expenses as the next person. That’s why you need disability coverage that can be customized to fit your specific needs.

After calculating your monthly expenses, your benefits counselor can help you complete the benefits worksheet.

Benefits worksheet

How much coverage do I need?

Monthly benefit amount for off-job accident and off-job sickness: ______________ Choose a monthly benefit amount between $400 and $6,500.*

If your plan includes on-job accident/sickness benefits, the benefit is 50% of the off-job amount.

How long will I receive benefits?

Benefit period: _______ months

The partial disability benefit period is three months.

When will my total disability benefits start?

After an accident: _______ days

After a sickness: _______ days

Waiver of premium

We will waive your premium payments after 90 consecutive days of a covered disability.

If you are disabled while outside of the United States, Canada or Mexico, you may receive benefits for up to 60 days before you have to return to the U.S. in order to continue receiving benefits.

Issue age

Coverage is available from ages 17 to 74.

Keep your coverage

You can keep your coverage to age 75 at no additional cost, even if you change jobs, as long as you pay your premiums when they are due.

Your premium is based on your age when you purchase coverage and the amount of coverage you are eligible to buy. Your premium will not change as you age.

Term Life Insurance

Life insurance protection when you need it most

Life insurance needs change as life circumstances change. You may need different coverage if you’re getting married, buying a home or having a child.

Term life insurance from Colonial Life provides protection for a specified period of time, typically offering the greatest amount of coverage for the lowest initial premium. This fact makes term life insurance a good choice for supplementing cash value coverage during life stages when obligations are higher, such as while children are younger. It’s also a good option for families on a tight budget — especially since you can convert it to a permanent cash value plan later.

With this coverage:

n A beneficiary can receive a benefit that is typically free from income tax.

n The policy’s accelerated death benefit can pay a percentage of the death benefit if the covered person is diagnosed with a terminal illness.

n You can convert it to a Colonial Life cash value insurance plan, with no proof of good health, to age 75.

n Coverage is guaranteed renewable up to age 95 as long as premiums are paid when due.

n Portability allows you to take it with you if you change jobs or retire.

Two options are available for spouse coverage at an additional cost:

1. Spouse Term Life Policy: Offers guaranteed premiums and level death benefits equivalent to those available to you –whether or not you buy a policy for yourself.

2. Spouse Term Life Rider: Add a term rider for your spouse to your policy, up to a maximum death benefit of $50,000; 10-year and 20-year are available (20-year rider only available with a 20- or 30-year term policy).

or the company.

You may add a Children’s Term Life Rider to cover all of your eligible dependent children with up to $20,000 in coverage each for one premium.

The Children’s Term Life Rider may be added to either the primary or spouse policy, not both.

Newborn and Mothers’ Health Protection Act

Group health plans and health insurance issuers generally may not, under federal law restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than 48 hours following vaginal delivery, or less than 96 hours following a cesarean section. However, federal law generally does not prohibit the mother’s or newborn’s attending provider, after consulting with the mother, from discharging the mother or newborn earlier than 48 hours (or 96 hours as applicable). In any case, plans and issuers may not, under federal law, require that a provider obtain authorization from the plan or the issuer for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours (or 96 hours).

Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act

In October 1998, Congress enacted the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998. This notice explains some important provisions of the Act. Please review this information carefully.

Prostheses and treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy , including lymphedemas. Health plans must provide coverage of mastectomy related benefits in a manner to determine in consultation with the attending physician and the patient. Coverage for breast reconstruction and related services may be subject to deductibles and insurance amounts that are consistent with those that apply to other benefits under the plan.

For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov

If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available.

Required Notices

General Notice of COBRA Continuation Coverage Rights

Continuation Coverage Rights Under COBRA

Introduction

You are receiving this notice because you recently gained coverage under a group health plan (the Plan). This notice has important information about your right to COBRA continuation coverage, which is a temporary extension of coverage under the Plan. This notice explains COBRA continuation coverage, when it may become available to you and your family, and what you need to do to protect your right to get it. When you become eligible for COBRA, you may also become eligible for other coverage options that may cost less than COBRA continuation coverage.

The right to COBRA continuation coverage was created by a federal law, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA). COBRA continuation coverage can become available to you and other members of your family when group health coverage would otherwise end. For more information about your rights and obligations under the Plan and under federal law, you should review the Plan’s Summary Plan Description or contact the Plan Administrator.

You may have other options available to you when you lose group health coverage. For example, you may be eligible to buy an individual plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace. By enrolling in coverage through the Marketplace, you may qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs. Additionally, you may qualify for a 30-day special enrollment period for another group health plan for which you are eligible (such as a spouse’s plan), even if that plan generally doesn’t accept late enrollees.

What is COBRA continuation coverage?

COBRA continuation coverage is a continuation of Plan coverage when it would otherwise end because of a life event. This is also called a “qualifying event.” Specific qualifying events are listed later in this notice. After a qualifying event, COBRA continuation coverage must be offered to each person who is a “qualified beneficiary.” You, your spouse, and your dependent children could become qualified beneficiaries if coverage under the Plan is lost because of the qualifying event. Under the Plan, qualified beneficiaries who elect COBRA continuation coverage must pay for COBRA continuation coverage.

If you’re an employee, you’ll become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events:

• Your hours of employment are reduced, or

• Your employment ends for any reason other than your gross misconduct.

If you’re the spouse of an employee, you’ll become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events:

• Your spouse dies;

• Your spouse’s hours of employment are reduced;

• Your spouse’s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct;

• Your spouse becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both); or

• You become divorced or legally separated from your spouse.

Your dependent children will become qualified beneficiaries if they lose coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events:

• The parent-employee dies;

• The parent-employee’s hours of employment are reduced;

• The parent-employee’s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct;

• The parent-employee becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (Part A, Part B, or both);

• The parents become divorced or legally separated; or

• The child stops being eligible for coverage under the Plan as a “dependent child.”

Sometimes, filing a proceeding in bankruptcy under title 11 of the United States Code can be a qualifying event. If a proceeding in bankruptcy is filed with respect to Chowan County Government, and that bankruptcy results in the loss of coverage of any retired employee covered under the Plan, the retired employee will become a qualified beneficiary. The retired employee’s spouse, surviving spouse, and dependent children will also become qualified beneficiaries if bankruptcy results in the loss of their coverage under the Plan.

When is COBRA continuation coverage available?

The Plan will offer COBRA continuation coverage to qualified beneficiaries only after the Plan Administrator has been notified that a qualifying event has occurred. The employer must notify the Plan Administrator of the following qualifying events:

• The end of employment or reduction of hours of employment;

• Death of the employee;

• Commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy with respect to the employer; or

• The employee’s becoming entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both).

For all other qualifying events (divorce or legal separation of the employee and spouse or a dependent child’s losing eligibility for coverage as a dependent child), you must notify the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the qualifying event occurs. You must provide this notice to: Carrie Byrum at Chowan County Government. Applicable documentation will be required i.e. court order, certificate of coverage etc.

How is COBRA continuation coverage provided?

Once the Plan Administrator receives notice that a qualifying event has occurred, COBRA continuation coverage will be offered to each of the qualified beneficiaries. Each qualified

beneficiary will have an independent right to elect COBRA continuation coverage. Covered employees may elect COBRA continuation coverage on behalf of their spouses, and parents may elect COBRA continuation coverage on behalf of their children.

COBRA continuation coverage is a temporary continuation of coverage that generally lasts for 18 months due to employment termination or reduction of hours of work. Certain qualifying events, or a second qualifying event during the initial period of coverage, may permit a beneficiary to receive a maximum of 36 months of coverage.

There are also ways in which this 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage can be extended:

Disability extension of 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage

If you or anyone in your family covered under the Plan is determined by Social Security to be disabled and you notify the Plan Administrator in a timely fashion, you and your entire family may be entitled to get up to an additional 11 months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a maximum of 29 months. The disability would have to have started at some time before the 60th day of COBRA continuation coverage and must last at least until the end of the 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage.

Second qualifying event extension of 18-month period of continuation coverage

If your family experiences another qualifying event during the 18 months of COBRA continuation coverage, the spouse and dependent children in your family can get up to 18 additional months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a maximum of 36 months, if the Plan is properly notified about the second qualifying event. This extension may be available to the spouse and any dependent children getting COBRA continuation coverage if the employee or former employee dies; becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both); gets divorced or legally separated; or if the dependent child stops being eligible under the Plan as a dependent child. This extension is only available if the second qualifying event would have caused the spouse or dependent child to lose coverage under the Plan had the first qualifying event not occurred.

Are there other coverage options besides COBRA Continuation Coverage?

Yes. Instead of enrolling in COBRA continuation coverage, there may be other coverage options for you and your family through the Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid, or other group health plan coverage options (such as a spouse’s plan) through what is called a “special enrollment period.” Some of these options may cost less than COBRA continuation coverage. You can learn more about many of these options at www.healthcare.gov.

If you have questions

Questions concerning your Plan or your COBRA continuation coverage rights should be addressed to the contact or contacts identified below. For more information about your rights

under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), including COBRA, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and other laws affecting group health plans, contact the nearest Regional or District Office of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) in your area or visit www.dol.gov/ebsa. (Addresses and phone numbers of Regional and District EBSA Offices are available through EBSA’s website.) For more information about the Marketplace, visit www.HealthCare.gov.

Keep your Plan informed of address changes

To protect your family’s rights, let the Plan Administrator know about any changes in the addresses of family members. You should also keep a copy, for your records, of any notices you send to the Plan Administrator.
