Accident Insurance

Accident Insurance pays a set benefit amount

based on

the type of injury you have and the type of

treatment you

need. It covers accidents that occur on and off

the job. And it

includes a range of incidents, from common

injuries to more

serious events.

Why is this coverage so valuable? • It can help you with out-of-pocket costs

that your medical plan doesn’t cover, like

co-pays and deductibles.

• You’re guaranteed base coverage, without

answering health questions.

• The cost is conveniently deducted from your

paycheck.

• You can keep your coverage if you change

jobs or retire. You’ll be billed directly

Who can get coverage?

You If you’re actively at work

Your Spouse Ages 17-64

Your Children Dependent children from birth

until their 26th birthday,

regardless of marital or

student status

How much does it cost? Monthly Premium

You $22.35

You and your spouse $38.46

You and your child(ren) $41.62

You, your spouse and

child(ren)

$57.73

Critical Illness Insurance

How does it work? If you’re diagnosed with an illness that is

covered by this insurance, you’ll receive a

benefit payment in one lump sum. You can use

the money however you want.

Why is this coverage so valuable? • The money can help you pay out-of-pocket

medical expenses, like co-pays and

deductibles.

• You can use this coverage more than once.

Even after you receive a payout for one

illness, you’re still covered for the remaining

conditions. If you have a different condition

later, you can receive another benefit.

• This insurance pays you once for each

eligible illness. However, the diagnoses must

be at least 90 days apart, and the

conditions can’t be related to each other.

Can I buy coverage now?

• It’s more affordable when you buy it

through your employer.

• The cost is conveniently deducted from your

paycheck.

• You can keep coverage if you leave the

company or retire. You’ll be billed at home.

Monthly Premium per $1,000 of Coverage

Age Non-Tobacco Tobacco 0-24 $0.58 $0.87

25-29 $0.63 $1.05

30-34 $0.83 $1.48

Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act - -Notice of Rights The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 was enacted on October 21, 1998. It provides certain

protections for breast cancer patients who elect breast reconstruction in connection with a mastectomy.

Specifically, the Act requires that health plans cover post-mastectomy reconstructive breast surgery if they

provide medical and surgical coverage for mastectomies. Coverage must be provided for:

1. Reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed;

2. Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; and

3. Prostheses and physical complications of all stages of mastectomy, including lymphedemas.

The benefits required under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act must be provided in a manner

determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient.

These benefits are subject to the health plan’s regular co-payments and deductibles.

Medicare Part D Important Notice from the Financial Network Benefits Plan About Your Prescription Drug

Coverage and Medicare

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 Financial Network Benefit Plan 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. 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. 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:

Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get

this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an

HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard

level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly

premium.

The Financial Network Benefit Plan has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the Basic

PPO and Security PPO is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard

Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your

existing coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a

penalty) if you later decide to join a Medicare drug 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

November 25th through December 31st.

However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you

will also 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 Financial Network Benefit Plan

coverage will be affected. You can retain your existing coverage and choose not to enroll in

a Part D plan; or you can enroll in a Part D plan as primary.

If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Financial Network Benefit Plan

coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will not be able to get this coverage back until

open enrollment or due to a change in family status.

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 Financial Network Benefit Plan

and don’t 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% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month

that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage,

your premium may consistently be at least 19% 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 November to join.
