CHANGES TO UA MEDICAL PLANS EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2018

Effective 1/1/2018, the University of Arkansas will offer three medical plans to benefits-eligible employees. All three plans offer the same

nationwide network of network providers and facilities and cover the same medial services and facilities. MedImpact will continue to be the

pharmacy provider for all three plans. The three plans are:

The Health Savings Plan (HSP) – this plan has the lowest monthly premiums but has the highest out-of-pocket expenses and includes a

Health Savings Account (see pages 3 & 4). See premiums page 6 and Medical Plan Comparison page 7.

Preventive care covered at 100% per Affordable Care Act provisions.

All other covered services, including prescriptions, will apply to the $2,700 (individual) or $5,400 (family) deductible.

Once you have satisfied your deductible, you will owe a 10% coinsurance until you hit your out of pocket maximum, $6,650

(individual) and $13,300 (family).

For the first year, the UA will contribute $420 (individual coverage) or $840 (family coverage) to a Health Savings Account (HSA).

Employees are encouraged to take all or part of their premiums savings and make voluntary contributions to the Health Savings

Account. Employees enrolled in the Health Savings Plan can only participate in the HSA and cannot participate in the Healthcare

Flexible Spending Account (FSA).

Employees who completed the Wellness Incentive requirements (completed the Health Assessment, including the Tobacco Pledge,

and completed the biometric screening) 7/1/2017-9/30/2017 will receive an additional $90 employer contribution to the HSA.

The Health Savings Plan will pay for services provided by out-of-network providers at reduced coverage. See page 3.

.The Classic Plan (CLC) - this plan has mid-range premiums and continues to work the same way that it currently does. CLC participants are

eligible for a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (see pages 3 & 4). See premiums page 6 and Medical Plan Comparison page 7.

Preventive care covered at 100% per Affordable Care Act provisions.

$35 copay for PCPs and $55 copay for specialists. Prescription drug copays are $15 (Tier 1), $55 (Tier 2) & $90 (Tier 3).

Most other covered services will apply to $1,250 (individual) or $2,500 (family) deductible.

Once you have satisfied your deductible, you will owe a 25% coinsurance until you hit your out of pocket maximum, $5,250

(individual) or $10,500 (family).

Employees who participate in the Classic Plan are not eligible to participate in an HSA but can participate in an FSA.

Classic Plan participants who completed the Wellness Incentive requirements (completed the Health Assessment, including the

Tobacco Pledge, and completed the biometric screening) 7/1/2017-9/30/2017 will receive $1,400 discount in their 2018 out of pocket

maximums.

The Classic Plan will not pay for services provided by out-of-network providers unless approved in advance by UMR. See page 3.

Point of Service participants who do not elect the Health Savings Plan or the Premier plan will be transitioned to the Classic Plan with

no action on the participant’s part required.

The Premier Plan – this plan has the highest premiums but the lowest out of pocket expenses. It works the same as the Classic Plan but has

enhanced benefits.

Preventive care covered at 100% per Affordable Care Act provisions.

$25 copay for PCPs and $45 copay for specialists. Prescription drug copays are $10 (Tier 1), $50 (Tier 2) & $80 (Tier 3).

Outpatient labs and outpatient diagnostic testing are covered at 100%. Inpatient hospitalization will have a $300 copay and then will

be covered at 100%. Most other covered services will apply to the $650 (individual) or $1,300 (family) deductible.

Once you have satisfied your deductible, you will owe a 20% coinsurance until you hit your out of pocket maximum, $3,000

(individual) or $6,000 (family).

Employees who participate in the Premier Plan are not eligible to participate in an HSA but can participate in an FSA.

Premier Plan participants who completed the Wellness Incentive requirements (completed the Health Assessment, including the

Tobacco Pledge, and completed the biometric screening) 7/1/2017-9/30/2017 will receive a $500 discount in their 2018 out of pocket

maximums.

The Premier Plan will pay for services provided by out-of-network providers at reduced coverage. See page 3.

Making a Decision – Which Plan is Best For You?

Consider carefully when looking at the three plans to determine which plan will work best for you and your family. Compare premiums

and potential out of pocket costs. Look at your family’s general state of health and consider any medical expenses you anticipate for

2018 (example new babies, scheduled surgeries, prescriptions you are taking).

If you expect high medical costs for 2018, you may want to consider either the Classic Plan or the Premier Plan, since your day-to-day

out-of-pocket expenses will be lower with these options. If you are healthy and rarely see the doctor (and expect that to continue in

2018) you may want to consider the Health Savings Plan. Remember, once you’ve made your election, you cannot change it until the

next Open Enrollment

For additional information and for copies of Open Enrollment materials distributed, see HR’s website at https://hr.uark.edu/ (see “Open

Enrollment” under HR News 2017). The “Open Enrollment Decision Guide” mailed to medial plan participants’ home addresses by the

UA System Office has some good examples that can help you in your decision process. 2

Out of Network Medical Benefits The Health Savings Plan (HSP) and Premier Plan offer

coverage for out-of-network providers but your out-of-

pocket expenses will be higher. When you obtain health

care though a non-UA-UMR provider, your benefits

payments for covered services will be based on the

Maximum Allowable Payment for out-of-network services,

as determined by UMR. Charges in excess of the

Maximum Allowable Payments do not count toward

meeting the deductible or meeting the limitation on your

coinsurance maximum. Non-UA-UMR providers may bill

you for amounts in excess of the Maximum Allowable

Payment.

Annual Limited Out-of-Network Benefits:

SmartCare – UAMS & Pat Walker Health Center

Starting January 1, 2018, UA medical plan participants may save on health

care costs through the SmartCare program by visiting the Pat Walker Health

Center or a provider at a University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS)

facility. The Pat Walker Health Center can only see employees and cannot

treat your dependents. Employees and their covered dependents can receive

the SmartCare benefits at UAMS facilities. You don’t have to specifically sign

up for SmartCare: you will receive the SmartCare benefits when you visit a

SmartCare facility for your care. UMR will automatically apply these

adjustments:

Health Savings Plan SmartCare Benefits Savings

Out of pocket maximum reduced by $500 (individual) & $1,000 (family)

After deductible is met, 5% reduction in coinsurance

Classic Plan SmartCare Benefits Savings

Office visit Copays: reduced by $15

Deductibles: reduced by $500 (individual) & $1,000 (family)

Out-of-network deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums are separate from the in-network deductibles and OOP maximums. Out-of-network services are not covered under the Classic Plan. As always, participants in the Classic Plan, as well as the Health Savings Plan and the Premier Plan, can file an appeal to request authorization to see an out-of-network provide and to have the services covered as in-network. Request for authorization to see an out-of-network provider at in-network rates must be submitted and approved prior to services.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS AND HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNTS

There are now two options for employees to elect to have tax-exempt dollars to be deducted from their pay checks to cover unreimbursed medical, dental and vision expenses – a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and a Health Savings Account (HSA). Employees who participate in the Classic Plan, Premier Plan or who don’t participate in UA health coverage at all are eligible to participate in a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account. Only employees who participate in the Health Savings Plan can participate in a Health Savings Account.

If you elect to enroll in the Health Savings Plan, you will be enrolled in a Health Savings Account through Optum Bank, Inc. Effective 1/1/2018 all employer and any voluntary employee HSA contributions will be made only to Optum HSAs. Additionally, you will need to understand the following if you elect to participate in an HSA:

You or your spouse cannot have a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account or Health Reimbursement Account (not available at the UA

but may be from your spouse’s employer) in the same year that you have a Health Savings Account.

If you are participating in a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account in 2017 and plan to switch to the Health Savings Plan in 2018, you

will need to use up your 2017 Healthcare FSA by 12/31/2017.

If you don’t spend all of your 2017 Healthcare FSA by 12/31/2017, you will have the option of waiving the automatic rollover (and

forfeiting the excess funds) so that you can have an HSA in 2018.

You and your covered family members can’t have any additional medical insurance coverage other than the UA Health Savings Plan.

You can’t be eligible for or enrolled in Medicare, covered by TRICARE, or have received Veterans Administration health benefits in

the three months previous to enrollment in an HSA.

You can’t be claimed as a dependent by someone else and be enrolled in an HSA. You may want to consult a tax advisor to discuss

your unique circumstances; the UA cannot give tax advice.

It is your responsibility to determine whether you are eligible to make contributions to an HSA; and to determine whether

contributions to the HSA have exceeded the maximum annual contribution limit. You will be liable for any tax penalties if you exceed

this limit.

If you sign up during Open Enrollment, your plan will be subject to a 12-month pre-existing condition exclusion period.

These 9-month premiums are calculated assuming that the premiums will begin in September and will remain unchanged for a 12-month period (through the following August). Faculty/staff paying with 9-month premiums enrolling in coverage or making changes to their premiums October or later will have to pay an extra premium through the following May to assure that sufficient premiums will be collected to pre-pay for the following summer.

**Part-time employees (50%-74% appointed) health premiums will be in the salary tier equal to their equivalent 100% appointed salary. For example, a 50% employee making $20,000 a year will be the salary tier for $40,000 annual salary. 6

*Out-of-network benefits are available. If services are received out-of-network, a higher out-of-network annual deductible, higher coinsurance

percentage and higher out-of-pocket maximums apply. In-network deductibles do not apply to out-of-network deductibles and visa versa. For more information about out-of-network coverage, or to get a copy of the complete terms of coverage, visit www.umr.com or contact UMR at 1-888-438-6105.

FOOTNOTES:

(a) Deductible means a fixed dollar amount that you must incur each calendar year before the health plan begins to pay for covered medical services. The

calendar year deductible applies to all Covered Services except for Preventive Care Services and for those services in the Classic and Premier Plans where a Co-payment applies in, unless otherwise noted. In-network deductibles do not apply to out-of-network deductibles and visa versa. Two individual deductibles = the family deductible.

(b) Coinsurance means a fixed percentage of charges you must pay toward the cost of covered medical services. Coinsurance applies to all Covered Services except those for which a Co-payment applies unless otherwise noted.

(c) Medical Out of Pocket Maximum is the maximum combined deductible, coinsurance and copayments you will pay in any calendar year. It does not include

costs for services not covered by the plan such as exclusions, limitations and pharmacy copayments. In the Classic and Premier Plans the maximum OOP for prescriptions drugs is a separate OOP from medical expenses. In the Health Savings Plan the medical OOP and pharmacy OOP are combined. Family OOP max requires two individual family member meet the individual OOP max.

(d) Co-Payment means a fixed dollar amount that you must pay each time you receive a particular medical service. You pay a co-payment when you obtain

health care directly from your Network Primary Care Physician or a Network Specialist. Certain services rendered in the Network Primary Care Physician or Network Specialist’s office are not subject to the deductible. Services rendered in the Network Primary Care Physician or Network Specialist’s office that are subject to deductible, coinsurance and additional copayments include advanced imaging such as MRI, CT Scans, PET Scans and Nuclear Medicine (imaging studies using medical radioisotopes), Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) treatment and all therapy including chiropractic.

(e) When you obtain health care through a Non-UMR Provider, your benefit payments for covered services will be based on the Maximum Allowable Payment

for out-of-network services, as determined by UMR. Charges in excess of the Maximum Allowable Payments do not count toward meeting the deductible or meeting the limitation on your Out of Pocket maximum. Non-UMR Providers may bill the patient for amounts in excess of the Maximum Allowable Payment.

(f) Well baby/child visits from an In-Network provider are covered in full from birth until the day the child attains age 19. (g) In the Classic Plan maternity inpatient charges are subject to co-payment and coinsurance. With any of the medical plans it is your responsibility to

notify Human Resources within 31 days of the birth or adoption of your child in order to obtain coverage for your newborn. (h) In the Classic and Premier Plans the maximum combined Inpatient co-payment per calendar year is $1,200 per person (no more than one co-payment per

30 calendar days). (i) In the Classic and Premier Plans the TMJ deductible is separate from the other In-Network or Out-of-Network deductibles. The TMJ deductible is in addition

to any In-Network or Out-of-Network deductible and requires pre-authorization. (j) Vision Exams: Ophthalmologist or Optometrist in-network and out-of-network benefits are the same. (k) In the Classic and Premier Plans, co-payments at non-participating pharmacies will be $20.00 for Tier 1, $60.00 for Tier 2, and $95.00 for Tier 3. If a new

enrollee has to get a prescription prior to receiving his/her pharmacy card, he/she will have to pay for the prescription in full, apply for reimbursement, and will be reimbursed less the $20.00, $60.00, or $95.00 co-payments. Alternatively, if the enrollment process has been completed and benefits are in effect, a temporary prescription drug ID card can be printed by going to www.medimpact.com, registering and clicking on ‘member ID card’. A complete summary of prescription drug benefits is also on the above web-address. Excluded or non-covered medication or devices do not apply to the OOP maximum.

(l) Preventive care services and cancer screenings will follow the U.S. Preventive Task Force Recommendations. See the health plan Summary Plan

Description for details on coverage. The following procedures for all plans will require pre-authorization before the services are rendered:

1. Any admission to Inpatient Facilities or Partial Hospitalization Units 2. Any referral by your PCP to an Out-of-Network Provider 3. Pre-Natal/Maternity Care. Authorization includes physician care and one ultra sound. Additional ultrasounds require pre-authorization. UAMS offers a

$500 waiver of out-of-pocket expenses for deliveries at its hospital. 4. Home Health Care and Home Infusion Services 5. Transplant Services (including the evaluation to determine if you are a candidate for transplant by a transplant program) 6. All Advanced Imaging (CT, MRI, Thallium Stress Test, PET. Go to www.UMR.com for a complete listing) regardless of place of service. 7. MRI of the Breast

Note: Certain other services have special Pre-authorization including surgical treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ), Accidental Injury to Teeth.

The Smoking Cessation Program: smoking cessation program provides free PCP visits and $0 copay for certain nicotine addiction drugs. The Diabetes Management Initiative and the Healthy Heart Program provide the opportunity for $0 copayments on certain medications. For more information on all programs call UMR 888-438-6105. *Nutritional Counseling and Weight Management Services: One annual visit with a dietitian and up to three additional visits in conjunction with health coaching for those who have a BMI of 27 and above.

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). 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 August 10, 2017. Contact your State for more information on eligibility –
