Effective January 1, 2012 BENEFIT IN-NETWORK OUT-OF-NETWORK

Benefit payments are based on the amount of the provider’s charge that Blue Cross and Blue Shield recognizes for payment of benefits. The allowed amount may vary depending upon the type provider and where services are received.

Some services require a copay, coinsurance, calendar year deductible or deductible for each admission, visit or service.

HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ARRANGEMENT (HRA) Health Reimbursement Arrangement: Your Health Plan works in conjunction with a Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA). An HRA is an account where your employer contributes a specific amount of money to be used by an employee for eligible expenses. Your HRA gives you the opportunity to manage your health care expenses in partnership with your employer. Amount allocated to your HRA account: Individual Coverage: $300 Family Coverage: $400 New Hire Provision: Allocations are prorated on a monthly basis. Change in Coverage Status: If there is a change in status from individual coverage to family coverage during the year, the HRA allocation will increase to the family coverage amount effective as of the effective date the status change based on a prorated schedule. If there is a change from family coverage to individual coverage, the HRA allocation will change to the greater of the individual coverage amount or the YTD HRA expense as of the effective date the status change. Roll-over Provision: Prior year unused HRA account balances will NOT roll over to the next plan year if you remain enrolled in the HRA option. HRA eligible expenses: HRA reimbursements are limited to all IRS eligible expenses as defined in IRS Code Section 213(d). If employment ends, you cannot take the balance of your account with you. If you elect COBRA coverage under the medical plan, you will continue to use your HRA in conjunction with your health plan.

Useful Information to Maximize Benefits • To maximize your benefits, always use In-network providers for services covered by your health benefit plan. To find In-Network providers, check a

provider directory, provider finder web site (www.bcbsal.com) or call 1 800 810-BLUE (2583). • In-network hospitals, physicians and other health care providers have a contract with a Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield Plan for furnishing health care

services at a reduced price (examples: BlueCard PPO, PMD, Preferred Care). In-Network Pharmacies are pharmacies that participate with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama or Preferred Care Services, Inc.

• Out-of-network providers generally do not contract with Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield Plans. If you use Out-of-Network providers, you may be responsible for filing your own claims and paying the difference between the provider’s charge and the allowed amount. The allowed amount may be based on the negotiated rate payable to In-Network providers in the same area or the average charge for care in the area.

• Please be aware that providers/specialists may be listed in a PPO directory or provider finder web site, but not covered under this benefit plan. Please check your benefit booklet for more detailed coverage information.

This is not a contract, benefit booklet or a Summary Plan Description. Benefits are subject to the terms, limitations and conditions of the group contract.
