2 What s New for 2012 Two Medical Options Healthcare 80 This option is similar to the Standard 80/20 option available today. Consumer Health 90 You may open a Health Savings Account (HSA) through Fidelity if you enroll in this option. The HSA is a triple-tax-advantaged savings account you can use to pay eligible out-of-pocket health care expenses now or in the future. Prescription Drug Coverage Certain preventive drugs will be free Optional Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance Employee contributions will be changing for: Employee life for non-tobacco users Spouse life and AD&D Child life and AD&D Health Care and Dependent Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA and DCRA) Plans Acclaris will replace Ceridian as the health plan partner Dental/Vision Reimbursement Account Will be available to reimburse dental or vision expenses not paid by dental or vision plans for those in the Consumer Health 90 option What s Not Changing Dental or Vision Coverage The monthly contributions and plan provisions stay the same

3 STEP Review Your Medical Plan Options Healthcare 80 This is a traditional option that offers predictability with set copays for some services, a lower deductible and the opportunity to participate in a Health Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA). But your monthly contributions will be higher, and the money in your HCRA doesn t roll over from year to year. This option is similar to the current Standard 80/20 option. Consumer Health 90 This option gives you more control over your health care dollars and allows you to open a Health Savings Account (HSA). There are no copays, and your monthly contributions are lower. The annual deductible is higher, but there is true out-of-pocket maximum protection, and Eaton s contribution to your HSA helps offset the higher deductible. You can use the money in your HSA toward your deductible or to pay for eligible health-care expenses. With an HSA, there is no use it or lose it provision. Your account balance rolls over from year to year, and it can be invested in a variety of options. You keep this money if you retire or leave Eaton. Consumer Health 90 replaces the current High 90/20 option.
