    Important Questions Answers Why This Matters:

    What is the overall deductible?

    In-Network $1,500 Individual $3,000 Single + 1

    $3,000 Family

    Out-of-Network $4,000 Individual $8,000 Single + 1

    You must pay all of the costs from providers up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay for covered services. Check your policy or plan document to see when the deductible starts over (usually, but not always, January 1st). See the chart starting on page 2 for how much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible. This plan has an embedded deductible. The plan begins paying benefits that require cost sharing for the first family member who meets the per-person deductible. The family deductible must then be met by one or more of the remaining family members and then the plan pays benefits for all covered family members.

    Are there services covered before you meet your deductible?

    Yes. See “Preventive Care/Screening/ Immunization” services.

    This plan covers some items and services even if you haven’t yet met the deductible amount. But a copayment or coinsurance may apply.

    Are there other deductibles for specific services?

    There are no other deductibles for specific services.

    You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on page 2 for other costs for services this plan covers.

    For network providers $6,600 individual / $13,200 family; for out-of-network providers $12,700 individual / $25,400 family.

See the chart starting on page 2 for how this plan pays different kinds of providers.

    Do you need a referral to see a specialist?

    • Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.• Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if the plan’s

    allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if you haven’t met yourdeductible.

    • The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the allowed amount, youmay have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay and the allowed amount is $1,000 youmay have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.)

    • This plan may encourage you to use In-Network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsurance amounts.

    • Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service.• Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if the plan’s

    allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if you haven’t met yourdeductible.

    • The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the allowed amount, youmay have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay and the allowed amount is $1,000 youmay have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.)

    • This plan may encourage you to use In-Network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and coinsurance amounts.

    About these Coverage Examples:

    This is not a cost estimator. Treatments shown are just examples of how this plan might cover medical care. Your actual costs will be different depending on the actual care you receive, the prices your providers charge, and many other factors. Focus on the cost sharing amounts (deductibles, copayments and coinsurance) and excluded services under the plan. Use this information to compare the portion of costs you might pay under different health plans. Please note these coverage examples are based on self-only coverage.

    Note: These numbers assume the patient does not participate in the plan’s wellness program. If you participate in the plan’s wellness program, you may be able to reduce your costs. For more information about the wellness program, please contact HRConnect at 877-252-9861 or [email protected]

    Coverage Period: 01/01/2020 – 12/31/2020 Summary of Benefits and Coverage: What this Plan Covers & What it Costs HSA (HDHP) Plan Coverage for: Single, Single + 1, and Family | Plan Type: PPO

    This is only a Summary: If you want more detail about your coverage and costs, you can call toll-free 1-866-289-5154.

    Important Questions Answers Why This Matters:

    What is the overall deductible?

    In-Network $6,600 Individual

    $13,200 Single + 1 $13,200 Family

    Out-of-Network $12,700 Individual $25,400 Single + 1

    $25,400 Family

    You must pay all of the costs from providers up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay for covered services. Check your policy or plan document to see when the deductible starts over (usually, but not always, January 1st). See the chart starting on page 2 for how much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible. This plan has an embedded deductible. The plan begins paying benefits that require cost sharing for the first family member who meets the per-person deductible. The family deductible must then be met by one or more of the remaining family members and then the plan pays benefits for all covered family members.

    Are there services covered before you meet your deductible?

    Yes. See “Preventive Care/Screening/ Immunization” services.

    This plan covers some items and services even if you haven’t yet met the deductible amount. But a copayment or coinsurance may apply.

    Are there other deductibles for specific services?

    There are no other deductibles for specific services.

    You don’t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on page 2 for other costs for services this plan covers.

    What is the out-of-pocket limit for this plan?

    For network providers $6,600 individual / $13,200 family; for out-of-network providers $12,700 individual / $25,400 family.

    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.

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

    Premiums, balance-billing charges, and health care this plan doesn’t cover.

    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?

    Yes. For a list of preferred providers, see www.bluecrossmnonline.com or call toll-free 1-866-289-5154.

    If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan will pay some or all of the costs of covered services. Be aware, your in-network doctor or hospital may use an out-of-network provider for some services. Plans use the term in-network, preferred, or participation for providers in their network. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this plan pays different kinds of providers.

    Do you need a referral to see a specialist?

    No. You can see the specialist you choose without permission from this plan.

    Are there services this plan doesn’t cover?

    Yes. Some of the services this plan doesn’t cover are listed on page 4. See your policy or plan document for additional information about excluded services.

    Important Notice From Taylor Corporation (the Company) About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare

    Notice Pertains To The Following Health Plan: PPO Plus and PPO Plans Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with the Company and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice.

    There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage:

    1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage ifyou join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offersprescription drug coverage. All Medicare prescription drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set byMedicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium.

    2. The Company has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by your employer through the TaylorCorporation Self-Insured Hospitalization Welfare Plan – PPO and PPO Plus Plans is, on average for all plan participants,expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore consideredCreditable Coverage. Because your existing coverage is on average, at least as good as standard Medicare prescriptiondrug coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide to join a Medicaredrug plan.

    When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15 th to December 7th.However, if you lose creditable prescription drug coverage through no fault of your own, you will be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan.

    What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide To Join A Medicare Drug Plan? If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current coverage will not be affected. If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Company coverage, be aware that you and your dependents might not be able to get this coverage back, depending on your employer’s eligibility policy. This may affect your medical coverage as well, so be sure to contact HRConnect at 877-252-9861, [email protected] .

    When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with the Company and do not join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later. If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1 percent of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go 19 months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19 percent higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join.

    For More Information About This Notice Or Your Current Prescription Drug Coverage… Contact the pharmacy vendor at the telephone number listed on the back of your pharmacy member card. NOTE: You will receive this notice each year. You will also receive it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan and if this coverage through the Company changes. You may request a copy of this notice anytime.

    For More Information About Your Options Under Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage…

    Visit www.medicare.gov, Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see the inside back cover of your copy of the “Medicare &

    You” handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help, or Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.

    If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage is available. For information about this extra help, visit Social Security on the web at www.socialsecurity.gov, or call them at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).

    Remember: Keep this Creditable Coverage notice. If you decide to join one of the Medicare drug plans, you may be required to provide a copy of this notice when you join to show whether or not you have maintained creditable coverage, and therefore, whether you are required to pay a higher premium (a penalty).

    Important Notice From Taylor Corporation (the Company) About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare

    Notice Pertains To The Following Health Plan: HSA Plan Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with the Company and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice.

    There are three important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage:

    1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage ifyou join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offersprescription drug coverage. All Medicare prescription drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set byMedicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium.

    2. The Company has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by your employer through the TaylorCorporation Self-Insured Hospitalization Welfare Plan – HSA Plan is, on average for all plan participants, NOT expected topay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays, and is therefore considered Non-CreditableCoverage. This is important because, most likely, you will get more help with your drug costs if you join a Medicare drugplan than if you only have prescription drug coverage from the Company. This is important because it may mean that youmay pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you do not join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible.

    3. You can keep your current coverage from the Company. However, because your coverage is non-creditable, you havedecisions to make about Medicare prescription drug coverage that may affect how much you pay for that coverage,depending on if and when you join a drug plan. When you make your decision, you should compare your currentcoverage, including what drugs are covered, with the coverage and cost of the plans offering Medicare prescription drugcoverage in your area. Read this notice carefully — it explains your options.

    When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15th to December 7th. However, if you decide to drop your current coverage with the Company, since it is employer/sponsored group coverage, you will be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan; however, you may have to pay a higher premium (a penalty) because you did not have creditable coverage under your Plan with the Company.

    When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan? Since the coverage under your current Company plan is not creditable, depending on how long you go without creditable prescription drug coverage, you may pay a penalty to join a Medicare drug plan. Starting with the end of the last month that you were first eligible to join a Medicare drug plan but did not join, if you go 63 continuous days or longer without prescription drug coverage that is creditable, your monthly premium may go up at least 1 percent of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go 19 months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19 percent higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join.

    What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan? If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current Company coverage may be affected. If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Company prescription drug coverage, be aware that you and your dependents might not be able to get this coverage back, depending on your employer’s eligibility policy. This may affect your medical coverage as well, so be sure to contact HRConnect at 877-252-9861, [email protected] .

    According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13) (PRA), no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. The Department notes that a Federal agency cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it is approved by OMB under the PRA, and displays a currently valid OMB control number, and the public is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. See 44 U.S.C. 3507. Also, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the collection of information does not display a currently valid OMB control number. See 44 U.S.C. 3512.

    The public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average approximately seven minutes per respondent. Interested parties are encouraged to send comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to the U.S. Department of Labor, Employee Benefits Security Administration, Office of Policy and Research, Attention: PRA Clearance Officer, 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room N-5718, Washington, DC 20210 or email [email protected] and reference the OMB Control Number 1210-0137.
