KAISER PERMANENTE (DHMO) PLAN The Kaiser Permanente plan is a non-profit Deductible Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) plan that provides services through the Kaiser Permanente network of doctors, partner hospitals and other health care facilities. There is no out-of-network coverage unless you experience a life-threatening injury or illness that requires ambulance and/or emergency room assistance. Each time you visit a Kaiser Permanente pharmacy or other provider for care, you pay a copay or an amount based on your deductible and coinsurance responsibility. Your out-of-pocket costs for eligible expenses are capped annually at $2,500 for an individual or $5,000 for a family.
CNIC PPO PLAN The self-insured CNIC Plan is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan that offers a large network of contracted doctors and hospitals to choose from whenever care is needed. In Colorado, the Plan utilizes the Rocky Mountain Health Network and if you are outside of Colorado, you will want to access the Aetna Signature Network to maximize your savings. After you meet your annual deductible, you are responsible for paying a portion of remaining eligible expenses (your coinsurance).
KEY DEFINITIONS • Deductible – the amount of
covered expenses you must pay before charges are paid by your medical plan
• Copayment – a fixed-
dollar amount you pay for covered services through your medical plan
• Coinsurance – your share
of the cost of covered services, calculated as a percentage (for instance, you pay 10% and the Plan pays 90%); typically payable after you have met your deductible
• Out-of-Pocket Maximum - the maximum
amount you pay in a calendar year for covered expenses under your health plan (once you or your covered dependent reach the OOP Maximum, the plan covers 100% of eligible expenses for the remainder of the year)
When you enroll in the CNIC HRA plan, you automatically receive prescription drug coverage through NPS (National Pharmaceutical Services). You must use an innetwork pharmacy to receive a benefit under the NPS pharmacy plan. Most national pharmacy chains and local pharmacies participate in the NPS Network. (Please visit the NPS website at www.pti-nps.com to view the most up-to-date listing of pharmacy providers near you.)
When picking up your prescription at the pharmacy, show your ID card and pay your copay. It’s that simple! Your benefit will be processed onsite (no claim needed). There are two ways you can receive your prescription drug benefits: • Retail Pharmacy – You receive up to a 30-day supply. • Mail Order – If you are taking a maintenance medication (for a medical condition that requires ongoing use of medications such as high blood pressure, diabetes or a thyroid condition), you may want to use the mail-order prescription service through Integrated HMO Pharmacy. When you order prescriptions by mail, you can receive up to a 90-day supply and you’ll typically save money.

KEEP IN MIND Using in-network providers can save you money in several ways: • You have a lower upfront deductible and the Plan reimburses at a higher level for in-network charges • In-network providers have agreed to negotiated fees that are typically lower than out-ofnetwork providers • The Healthcare Bluebook, a service provided at no additional cost to all CNIC plan participants, provides online tools to help you identify the fair market price for thousands of medical procedures, tests, and other services.

DENTAL INSURANCE The self-insured dental plan, administered through Delta Dental of Colorado, is designed to help you maintain a healthy smile through regular preventive dental care, and to fix any problems as soon as they occur.

Although you are free to visit any licensed dentist for your care, you will save money by visiting a Delta Dental PPO or Premier® dentist. For in-network providers, visit www.deltadentalco.com and use the “Find a Dentist” search tool. See summary of dental benefits below: DENTAL SERVICES

VISION INSURANCE The VSP vision plan includes benefits for eye exams, eyeglasses, and contact lenses. When you visit a VSP provider, you must pay a copay to your provider at the time of service. Your provider will file claims for you and will be reimbursed directly by the insurance carrier for allowable charges. No need to show an insurance card, simply tell your vision provider you have VSP. To find a VSP provider, go to www.vsp.com. Reference the “choice” network to find an in-network VSP doctor.
When you visit an out-of-network provider for your vision care, you must pay your expenses in full at the time of service and submit a claim to VSP for reimbursement up to plan allowances, which are shown in the table below: VISION SERVICES Vision exam (every 12 months)
