MEDICAL PLAN HIGHLIGHTS

MMC offers three medical plans with two provider networks, giving you the opportunity to choose the plan and network that

best fits your needs. When you need care, you simply go to your network provider of choice. You do not need to select a prima-

ry care clinic and you do not need referrals to see a specialist. Your plan may also allow you to see an out-of-network provider

for a higher copay. Full-time employees are eligible for coverage the first of the month following employment.

Plan I

This traditional plan provides network access to

many services like:

Convenience and online care

Specialty care—no referrals needed

Prescription medicines

Preventive care

This plan provides coverage with a lower annual de-

ductible and lower maximum out-of-pocket limit

than Plan II, and includes prescription coverage and

co-pays

Plans II and III are great options if you’re looking for

more control over your health care dollars. These plans

combine a health savings account (HSA) with a high de-

ductible health plan (HDHP) to give you full coverage.

Plus, the money in your HSA is yours to keep, even if you

change employers.

These plans have a higher deductible and higher maxi-

mum out-of-pocket than Plan I. Because it is a HDHP,

nearly all expenses (with the exception of preventive

care) are subject to the deductible.

Plans II and III

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT

How does an HSA work?

Think of an HSA as your bank account for medical costs. You can use the money in your HSA to pay for expenses under your

plan's deductible or coinsurance. You can also use your HSA to pay for many other medical costs like: dental care, braces, vision

care and LASIK surgery, hearing aids and tools to help you quit smoking.

How does money get into my HSA? There are a couple of ways to put money into your HSA:

· Deductions from your paycheck · Direct deposits that are allowed until April 15 of the next year

Every dollar you put into your HSA is not taxed. As this amount grows over time, you can save it or spend it on eligible medical expenses — tax free! Midwest Machinery will also contribute to your HSA! All participants receive a set amount each month deposited into their HSA. These funds are yours to keep and use as you see fit. How much can you put into your HSA?

Each year the IRS sets limits on how much money you may contribute into your HSA that is linked to a high-deductible plan.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING (SECTION 125)PLANS Midwest Machinery Company offers its employees a flex spending plan allowing participants to pay for compa-

ny-sponsored health/dental insurance with pre-tax* dollars. Employees can also elect to defer pre-tax dollars

to pay for eligible expenses for medical and/or dependent care. Full time employees are eligible to participate

the first of the month following employment.

Medical FSA—A plan that allows you to pay your unreimbursed medical, dental, and

vision expenses with pre-tax dollars. The current maximum election amount is

$2,700 per year and is subject to change.

Dependent Day Care FSA—A plan that allows you to pay your dependent care ex-

penses with pre-tax dollars. The maximum allowable reimbursement per IRS regula-

tions is $5,000 per year.

*Pre-tax means you pay no federal tax, no state income tax, and no social security tax

on premiums or on any dollar amount set aside in the qualified plans and reimburse-

ment accounts
