ELIGIBILITYAs a U.S.-based team member, you are eligible for a wide array of benefits. You may also enroll your eligible dependents. Your eligible dependents include:
h Spouse or same-sex domestic partner1
h Dependent children up to the end of the year the child turns age 26, or to any age if disabled2 before age 261 State laws and the IRS do not universally recognize same-gender domestic partners. For that reason, imputed income may apply.2 Refer to your Employee Benefits Guide for the details.
You will be asked to provide documentation for your eligible dependents when you enroll.
ELIGIBILITY

Are You an American Employee Married to Another American Employee?
h Enroll in medical, dental and vision coverage separately or as a dependent. Be sure to compare costs — you may save more if you enroll separately. If you’re already covered under your American spouse/domestic partner’s coverage, you need to waive dependent coverage before you can enroll for yourself.
h You will have a separate HUSA (Health US Account) regardless of whether you choose separate or joint coverage.
h If you choose the Core Option, you may only open one HSA (Health Savings Account). Your and your spouse/domestic partner’s Healthmatters Rewards will be added to your shared HSA.

YOUR MEDICAL OPTIONSYou want a solid health care plan to protect you and your family. Choose from the PPO 80/90/100 Options, and the Core Option.
How the Options Are Alike h You and American share costs.
h Your costs are lower when you choose in-network providers and generic medications.
h Each option offers a spending account that can be used to pay the same eligible medical, prescription drug, dental and vision expenses. Earned Healthmatters Rewards are deposited into these accounts.
h ActiveHealth provides programs and support for you and your family, including 24-hour Nurseline, lifestyle coaching and more.
How the Options Are Different h The amount you pay for medical contributions, deductibles, co-pays and
co-insurance varies by option. See the details.
h Your state of residence determines your administrator. This is based on your benefits address. See the 2015 medical administrator map.
h Preventive care is covered after a co-pay in the PPO 80/90/100 Options. Under the Core Option, it’s covered at 100% in-network.
h The options use different spending accounts.
� The PPO 80/90/100 Options come with an HUSA (Health US Account).
� The Core Option is a high-deductible health plan that offers an HSA (Health Savings Account).
h Prescription drug coverage (including retail and mail order) is provided through:
� CVS Caremark for the PPO 80/90/100 Options

TO SMART AND HEALTHY SAVINGS
HEALTHMATTERSRewardsYou and your covered spouse or domestic partner enrolled in a PPO Option or the Core Option can each earn Healthmatters Rewards when you complete certain wellness activities. Your Healthmatters Rewards are added to the spending account associated with your medical option.
You and your dependents can use your Healthmatters Rewards to pay for eligible medical, prescription, dental and vision expenses.
YOU CHOOSE THE ACTIVITIES YOU WANT TO COMPLETE The more activities you complete, the more you earn. In 2015, you can earn up to the maximum of $250 for yourself and $250 for your covered spouse or domestic partner (up to $500 combined) by choosing any combination of the activities below:
Get a Quest biometric screening $50
Meet 4 of 5 results (blood pressure, LDL, HDL, total cholesterol and A1C)
$100
Complete your health assessment $100
Complete online coaching OR two calls with a coach or nurse $100
The sooner you start, the sooner you get your rewards. The deadline to earn rewards is October 31, 2015.
TAX SAVINGSHSA (Health Savings Account) If you enroll in the Core Option, you can contribute on a pre-tax basis to your HSA through payroll deduction, up to IRS limits each year. For 2015, the limits — minus Healthmatters Rewards — are $3,100 individual and $6,150 family. If you will be at least 55 years old by the end of 2015, you can add $1,000 more.
WHY CONTRIBUTE h The account rolls over from year to year so you can use the funds to pay
for health care expenses now or save for retirement. h Contributions are triple tax advantaged:
� No taxes on contributions � No taxes when funds are used for eligible expenses � No taxes on any interest earned on the balance
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) If you are hired during November or December, you may not participate in the FSAs during the current year, but may enroll for the following calendar year.
Health Care FSA — You can contribute up to $2,500 per year on a pre-tax basis.
Limited Purpose FSA — If you enroll in the Core Option, instead of a Health Care FSA, you may contribute up to $2,500 per year to a Limited Purpose FSA, which means you can only use it for dental and vision expenses.
Dependent Care FSA — You can contribute up to $5,000 per year ($2,500 if you are married and filing separately) to pay for eligible child and elder care.
Transit ProgramYou can buy monthly commuter passes on a pre-tax basis for bus and rail travel to and from work, lowering your taxable income, helping the environment and buying a little nap (or reading) time.
Budget CarefullyYou forfeit any amount you contribute to your FSA that you don’t use by the deadlines. More details are here.

IMPORTANT NOTICESSummary of Benefits and Coverage American Airlines is required to provide you the Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) and the Uniform Glossary (UG). We’ve created a separate SBC for each of the self-funded medical benefit options, and the UG applies to all of the options. You can use the SBCs and the UG as quick references for what benefits are available in each option, and an explanation of terms used in benefit plans.
Access the SBCs and UG. You can also obtain paper copies of the SBCs and UG free of charge by calling the Benefits Service Center at 888-860-6178.
Grandfathered Plan StatusThe US Airways, Inc. Health Benefit Plan is comprised of the following medical plans: PPO 80/60, PPO 90/70, PPO 100/80, OOA 80, OOA 90, OOA 100 and Kaiser Permanente HMO. For purposes of this notice, the term “Plan” refers to all medical plan options listed above, except the Kaiser Permanente HMO.
The Plan is a “grandfathered health plan” under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care Act). As permitted by the Affordable Care Act, a grandfathered health plan can preserve certain basic health coverage that was already in effect when that law was enacted. Being a grandfathered health plan means that the Plan is not required to include certain consumer protections of the Affordable Care Act that apply to other plans, for example, the requirement for the provision of preventive health services without any cost sharing. However, grandfathered health plans must comply with certain other consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act, for example, the elimination of lifetime limits on benefits.
Questions regarding which protections apply and which protections do not apply to a grandfathered health plan, and what might cause a plan to change from grandfathered health plan status can be directed to 888-860-6178.
You may also contact the Employee Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor at 866-444-3272 or dol.gov/ebsa/healthreform. This website has a table summarizing which protections do and do not apply to grandfathered health plans.
