Health Care Reform The Affordable Care Act was enacted in 2010 to expand access for

millions of Americans to qualify for affordable health insurance, to control healthcare

costs, and to improve the healthcare delivery system in our country. As a reminder, part

of the Affordable Care Act is the Individual Mandate, which requires you and your

dependents to have health insurance or potentially risk the following tax penalties.

*The penalty is the greater of the dollar amount or percentage of income.

Tax Year Adult Child Family

OR

Maximum Penalty

2.5% of Household

Income1

2015 $325 $162.50 $2,975

2016 $695 $347.50 $2,085

2017

(forecast) $785 $392.50 $2,285

1 Maximum: Total yearly premium for the national average price of a Bronze plan sold through the Marketplace. (2014:

$9,800, 2015: $12,500, 2016: $13,000, 2017: $13,500 est.)

Annual Penalties:

Other plans that meet requirements for the Individual Mandate include, but are not limited to:

□ An individual health insurance policy obtained through a public health insurance marketplace/exchange or

elsewhere

□ A government plan such as a Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), TRICARE, or

veterans coverage.

□ Student health coverage

□ Medicare Advantage plan

□ Coverage for non-US citizens, provided by another country

Using the percentage method, only the part of your household income that’s above the yearly tax

filing threshold ($10,300 for individuals, $20,600 for couples filing jointly in 2015, the most

recent year available) is counted.

Using the per-person method, you pay only for people in your household who don’t have insurance

coverage.

Affordable Care Act (ACA) Requirement

Under the ACA, everyone in the United States (subject to limited exceptions) is required to have health insurance that

provides “minimum essential coverage” to satisfy the Individual Mandate. The Blue Cross Blue Shield & Blue Care Network

medical plans provide minimum essential coverage and therefore, you can use them to satisfy the Individual Mandate.

During this Open Enrollment, QCI Healthcare is offering a medical plan that is “affordable” under the Affordable Care Act

(ACA). As necessary to make the coverage affordable, an employer contribution towards individual coverage on the Plan has

been incorporated into the premiums.

If you decline coverage under the Medical Plans and you do not have other coverage that meets this requirement through

another source or you are not eligible for an exemption, you may be subject to tax penalties for a failure to meet the

Individual Mandate.

For additional information regarding the exemptions to the Individual Mandate and general information regarding the

Affordable Care Act, please visit www.healthcare.gov.

What is AD&D Insurance?

Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance provides specified benefits

for a covered accidental bodily injury that directly causes dismemberment (e.g. the

loss of a hand, foot, or eye). In the event that a death occurs from a covered

accident, both the life and the AD&D benefit would be payable.

Eligible employees are guaranteed $25,000 without health questionnaires for life and

accidental death and dismemberment insurance.

Open Enrollment or time of hire are the only times an employee can enroll in the group

life/AD&D insurance without Evidence of Insurability.

A delayed effective date will apply if the employee is not actively at work at time of

enrollment.

If you terminate your employment or become ineligible for this coverage, you have the

option to convert all or part of the amount of coverage in force to an individual life

policy on the date of termination without Evidence of Insurability. Conversion election

must be made within 31 days of your date of termination.

Who is Eligible?

The group life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) policy is

paid for by QCI Healthcare. NO employee contributions are required to receive

the group life and AD&D insurance.

This Document Is For Information Purposes Only

This communication is intended for illustrative and

information purposes only. The plan documents, summary

plan descriptions, insurance certificates, and policies

serve as the governing documents to determine plan

eligibility, benefits, and payments.

If you have Medicare or will become

eligible for Medicare in the next 12

months, federal law gives you more

choices about your prescription drug

coverage. See page 12 for details.

Limitations And Exclusions

Insurance and benefit plans always contain exclusions

and limitations. Please see benefit booklets and/or

contracts for complete details of coverage and eligibility.

Future Of The Plan

QCI Healthcare reserves the right to amend, modify, or

terminate its benefit plan at any time, including during

treatment.

Notice Regarding Special Enrollment Rights

If you do not timely or properly complete the enrollment

process, you and your eligible dependents generally will

not be covered under the Plan, upon your initial eligibility

date. Also, if you fail to specifically enroll your eligible

dependents on the enrollment form, your eligible

dependents will not be covered under the Plan upon the

dependent’s initial eligibility date. If enrollment does not

occur on an individual’s initial eligibility date, coverage

may not be applied for until the next annual open

enrollment period. However, if an employee or dependent

experiences a special enrollment rights circumstance,

coverage may begin immediately, before the next annual

open enrollment. This section explains the special

enrollment rights rules.

If an individual experiences a loss of health coverage, if an

employee has a new dependent, or an individual loses or

gains eligibility with respect to Medicaid or a State

Children’s Health Insurance Program (“CHIP”), an eligible

employee and/or a dependent may have special enrollment

rights to participate in coverage under the group health plan

immediately without being required to wait until the next annual

open enrollment period.

A loss of other coverage may occur when COBRA has been

exhausted, an individual becomes ineligible for coverage

(for example, due to a change in status), employer

contributions for the coverage have been terminated, the

other coverage is an HMO and the individual no longer lives

or works in the HMO service area, coverage is lost because

the other plan no longer offers any benefits to a class of

similarly-situated individuals (such as part-time employees),

or a benefit package option is terminated unless the

individual is provided a current right to enroll in alternative

coverage. A loss of other coverage for this purpose does not

include, however, termination due to the nonpayment of

required contributions, for cause due to the filing of a

fraudulent application or claim, or where the individual

voluntarily terminates other coverage.

The addition of a new dependent may occur due to

marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption.

If an individual’s Medicaid or CHIP coverage is terminated

as a result of a loss of eligibility or if the individual becomes

eligible for a premium assistance subsidy under Medicaid or

a CHIP, the individual has special enrollment rights.

Enrollment must generally be requested in a special enrollment

rights situation within 30 days after the loss of other coverage

or the addition of the new dependent, whichever is applicable.

However, in the case of loss or gain of Medicaid or CHIP

eligibility, a health plan must allow immediate enrollment if the

individual submits a request within 60 days after the loss or

gain of eligibility.

Notice Regarding Women's Health And Cancer Rights Act

The Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act requires group

health plans and insurers offering mastectomy coverage to also

provide coverage for:

Reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was

performed;

Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a

symmetrical appearance; and

Prostheses and treatment of physical complications at all

stages of the mastectomy, including lymph edemas

These services are payable to a patient who is receiving benefits

in connection with a mastectomy and elects reconstruction. The

physician and patient determine the manner in which these

services are performed.

The plan may apply deductibles and copayments consistent with

other coverage within the plan. This notice serves as the official

annual notice and disclosure of the fact that employer’s health

plan has been amended to comply with this law.

Notice Regarding Newborns And Mothers Health Protection

Act

Group health plans and health insurance issuers offering

group health insurance may not, under federal law, restrict

benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with

childbirth for the mother or newborn child for less than 48

hours following normal vaginal delivery, or less than 96 hours

following a cesarean section, or require that a provider obtain

authorization from the plan or insurance issuer to prescribe a

length of stay not in excess of the above periods.

Notice Regarding GINA

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008

(GINA) states that group health plans and insurance issues

may not:

Adjust group premium or contribution amounts on the

basis of genetic information.

Request or require individuals to undergo a genetic test

Request, require or purchase genetic information prior to

or in connection with enrollment, or at any time for

underwriting purposes.

Notice Regarding Patient Protections

The following paragraphs outline certain protections under

the PPACA and only apply when the Plan requires the

designation of a Primary Care Physician.

One of the provisions in the PPACA is for plans and insurers

that require or allow for the designation of primary care

providers by participants to inform the participants of their

rights.

You will have the right to designate any primary care provider

who participates in the Plan's network and who is available to

accept you and/or your Eligible Dependents. For children, you

may designate a pediatrician as the primary care provider.

You also do not need prior authorization from the Plan or

from any other person (including your primary care provider)

in order to obtain access to obstetrical or gynecological care

from a health care professional in the Plan's network. The

health care professional, however, may be required to comply

with certain procedures, including obtaining prior

authorization for certain services, following a pre-approved

treatment plan or procedures for making referrals or notifying

primary care provider or Plan of treatment decisions.

If you do not make a provider designation, the Plan may

make one for you. For information on how to select or change

a primary care provider, and for a list of the participating

primary care providers, pediatricians, or obstetrics or

gynecology health care professionals, please contact the

insurer.

Other PPACA Protections

Other PPACA requirements include allowing eligible

dependent children to continue health coverage until age 26,

not retroactively rescinding coverage except as permitted by

law and issuing eligible individuals a summary of benefits

and coverage (SBC) describing the terms of the group health

plan. You will be provided with an SBC as required by law.

Medicare Notice

You must notify QCI Healthcare when you or your dependents

become Medicare eligible. QCI Healthcare is required to

contact the insurer to inform them of your Medicare status.

Federal law determines whether Medicare or the group

health plan is the primary payer. You must also notify

Medicare directly that you have group health insurance

coverage. Privacy laws prohibit Medicare from discussing

coverage with anyone other than the Medicare beneficiary or

their legal guardian. The toll free number to Medicare

Coordination of Benefits is 1-800-999-1118.

Important Information About Your Prescription Drug Coverage

And Medicare

Please note that the following notice only applies to

individuals who are eligible for Medicare.

Medicare eligible individuals may include employees,

spouses or dependent children who are Medicare eligible for

one of the following reasons.

Due to the attainment of age 65

Due to certain disabilities as determined by the Social

Security Administration

Due to End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)

If you are covered by 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 QCI Healthcare 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:

1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in

2006 to everyone eligible for 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.

2. QCI Healthcare has determined that the prescription

drug coverage offered by their Blue Cross Blue Shield

PPO AND Blue Care Network HMO plans 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. If 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.

13

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

through December 7th. This may mean that you may have

to wait to join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan and that

you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you join later.

You may pay that higher premium (a penalty) as long as

you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition,

if you lose creditable prescription drug coverage, through

no fault of your own, you will be eligible for a sixty (60) day

Special Enrollment Period because you lost creditable

coverage to join a Part D plan. In addition, if you lose or

decide to leave employer-sponsored coverage; you will be

eligible to join a Part D plan at that time using an

Employer Group Special Enrollment Period. You should

compare your current prescription drug 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.

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 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 19 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 October to join.

For More Information About This Notice or Your Current

Prescription Drug Coverage...

Contact your HR Representative. You'll get this notice each

year. You will also get it before the next period you can join

a Medicare drug plan, and if this coverage through your

company changes. You also may request a copy of this

notice at any time.

For More Information About Your Options Under Medicare

Prescription Drug Coverage...

More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer

prescription drug coverage is in the "Medicare & You"

handbook.

You'll get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from

Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare

drug plans. For more information about Medicare

prescription drug coverage:

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

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, visit Social Security at www.socialsecurity.gov ,

or call 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 or not you are required to

pay a higher premium (penalty).

HIPAA Privacy And Security

Employer and any health insurance issuer in connection

with employer’s group health plan are committed to

complying with the privacy and security requirements of

HIPAA as modified by the HIPAA/HITECH Omnibus Final

Rule. Participants will receive a notice of privacy practices in

connection with the Plan. You will also receive a new copy in

the event the notice is modified. If you would like to receive

another copy of the notice of privacy practices, you may do

so at any time, by contacting the plan administrator.

Duplicate copies are provided free of charge.

ERISA RIGHTS

As a participant in the Plan, you are entitled to certain rights

and protections under the Employee Retirement Income

Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). ERISA provides that

all plan participants shall be entitled to the following:

Receive Information About Your Plan and Benefits

You can examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s

office and at other specified locations, such as worksites all

documents governing the Plan, including insurance contracts

and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) filed

by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at

the Public Disclosure Room of the Employee Benefit Security

Administration.

You can obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator,

copies of documents governing the operation of the Plan,

including insurance contracts and copies of the latest annual

report (Form 5500 Series) and an updated summary plan

description. The administrator may make a reasonable charge

for the copies.

Continue Group Health Plan Coverage

You can continue health care coverage for yourself, spouse, or

dependents if there is a loss of coverage under the Plan as a

result of a qualifying event. Your or your dependents may have

to pay for such coverage. Review your summary plan

description and the documents governing the Plan on the rules

governing your COBRA continuation coverage rights.

Prudent Actions by Plan Fiduciaries

In addition to creating rights for participants, ERISA imposes

duties upon the people who are responsible for the operation of

the employee benefit plan. The people who operate your Plan,

called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to do so in the

interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries.

No one, including your Employer, or any other person, may fire

you or otherwise discriminate against you in any way to prevent

you from obtaining a benefit or exercising your rights under

ERISA.

Enforce Your Rights

If your claim for a welfare benefit is denied or ignored, in whole

or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain

copies of documents relating to the decision without charge,

and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules.

Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce the above

rights. For instance, if you request a copy of Plan documents or

the latest annual report from the Plan and do not receive them

within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court. In such a

case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide

the materials and pay you up to $110 a day ($147 a day for

penalties assessed after August 1 2016, as adjusted for

inflation) until you receive the materials, unless the materials

were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the

Plan Administrator.

If you have a claim for benefits which is denied or ignored,

in whole or in part, you may file suit in state or Federal

court. In addition, if you disagree with the Plan’s decision

or lack thereof concerning the qualified status of a

domestic relations order or a medical child support order,

you may file suit in Federal court. If it should happen that

Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan’s money, or if you are

discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may

seek assistance from the Employee Benefits Security

Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your

telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance

and Inquiries, Employee Benefits Security Administration,

U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain

publications about your rights and responsibilities under

ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Employee

Benefits Security Administration.

PLAN ADMINISTRATOR CONTACT INFORMATION

herein, or any of your rights under the Plan, please contact

the Plan Administrator at:

If you live in one of the following states, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. The following list of

states is current as of July 31, 2016. Contact your State for more information on eligibility -

Premium Assistance Under Medicaid And The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state

may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs.

If you or your children aren’t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligible for these premium assistance programs but

you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit

www.healthcare.gov.

If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact your State

Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available.

If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might

be eligible for either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877-KIDS NOW or

www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the

premiums for an employer-sponsored plan.

If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your

employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren’t already enrolled. This is called a

“special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium

assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at

www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272).

Decline Decline

If you refuse coverage for yourself, you automatically refuse that coverage for any dependents. If you are declining enrollment for any of the benefits offered you may in the

future be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in the plan, during annual enrollment or within 30 days after a qualifying life event. If you decide to waive the short term

and/or long term disability coverage when you are first eligible, you may be subject to medical underwriting and pre-existing limitation exclusions.

I hereby acknowledge and certify the above benefit elections; I understand that if I decide to waive my benefits I will be subject to any late entrant penalties that do apply if I

decide to enroll at a later date. I also understand that since these deductions are performed on a pre-tax basis that all elections must remain the same until open enrollment

unless I experience a qualifying life event.

I acknowledge that anyone who is covered under the medical policy and has other health benefits, I will disclose that information to the medical carrier.

I acknowledge that I have received the following documents from my employer, in a timely manner and that I understand my rights and coverages.

I also understand that these documents are available to me electronically as well as by request from HR.

You can choose a different primary care physician for each member of your family, or one to care for your entire family. If you elect to have one doctor for your entire family,

you must select a family or general practice physician. You cannot choose a specialist as a primary care physician. You can go to www.bcbsm.com/find-a-doctor to view the

most current information on BCN-affiliated primary care physicians. It is advised to check with the doctor's office to confirm participating with Blue Care Network HMO plans.

Employee Signature: Date:

I understand that if I wish to change my primary care physician at any time during the plan year that all changes become effective two business days after BCN receives the

form - unless you request a later effective date. If you change your primary care physician while you are being treated by a specialist, your new primary care physician must

reauthorize the treatment you are receiving. Your treatment may not be covered until that occurs. I have read and understand the conditions of this form.
