2 What s New for 2016 While most of the medical plan benefits will not change for 2016, urgent care visits under the Essential PPO Plan will now be covered at 80% coinsurance after you meet the deductible. You will have the opportunity to contribute $100 more per year to your HSA, up to a maximum of $5,450 in 2016, if you participate in the Health Savings PPO Plan with any coverage level above colleague only. If you participate in the Health Care Spending Account (HCSA), you will now be able to contribute up to $2,550 for You may not participate in the HCSA if you elect the Health Savings PPO Plan. Beginning in 2016, we will be offering a revised well-being program to help you earn a premium discount on your medical coverage throughout the year. See the Live Your Whole Life page in this guide and the Live Your Whole Life website (mybenefits.trinity-health.org/lywl) for more information. Starting Jan. 1, 2016, Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) and affiliated hospitals will no longer be a covered provider.

The Personal Health Application must be sent to The Hartford by Jan. 8, Saint Joseph Mercy Chelsea

3 Other Information About Enrolling Your enrollment requirements If you don t make benefit elections on or before Nov. 11, 2015, you will automatically receive a default package of benefits, which includes the same elections you had last year for medical, dental, vision, life insurance, AD&D, disability and legal benefits. Keep in mind: If you want to contribute to the Health Savings Account, the health care or dependent care flexible spending accounts or PTO cash-out you must make an election. Last year s election will not carry forward. If you want to participate in the Essential PPO Assist Plan for 2016, you must apply each year and meet specific income and eligibility guidelines. For more information on the Essential PPO Assist Plan, refer to page 7. If you wish to participate in these programs next year you must complete your enrollment by Nov. 11, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Benefit elections are effective for the entire year Remember, the benefits you elect during open enrollment will be in effect from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, Open enrollment is your only opportunity during the year to make elections for your 2016 benefits unless you experience a qualified family status change. If you experience a qualified family status change or certain employment status changes and provide any required documentation to the Associate Resource Center within 30 days of the event, you will be allowed to make certain benefit changes as long as they are consistent with the status change. For example, if you get married during the plan year, you ll be able to add your spouse/eligible adult to your coverage within 30 days of the marriage. For more information on qualified family status changes, visit Adding family members If you re adding family members to your benefit plan during this year s open enrollment, you re required to provide written documentation (for example, marriage certificate or birth certificate) verifying their dependent status by faxing the appropriate documents to the Associate Resource Center at or scanning and ing the documents to associateresources@trinity-health.org no later than Nov. 18, If you don t submit the required documentation by the deadline, your dependents will not be enrolled for coverage for 2016, and you ll be required to wait until next year s open enrollment period to add them to the plan provided they remain eligible, and you provide written documentation verifying their dependent status at that time. You are required to provide a Social Security number for each of your dependents over the age of one in order for them to be covered. Please provide any missing dependent Social Security numbers to the Associate Resource Center at fax number or phone number (Select Option 3 Employment Verification/Benefits). Please note, you have the option to purchase coverage for your spouse/eligible adult and dependents. If you and your spouse/eligible adult or dependent(s) both work for Trinity Health, and are benefits eligible, you cannot elect dual coverage (enrolled as a colleague and a dependent). In addition, only one of you will be able to elect coverage for your child(ren). To view the complete eligibility rules and documentation requirements for you and your family members, visit Choose your Primary Care Physician (PCP) Maintaining a relationship with your PCP is important because they are trained to recognize any health problems you may have. A PCP is the doctor you see for most services, including annual check-ups. Your PCP can also help you identify and meet your health goals and help you prevent serious, long-term health conditions. And, by following their preventive recommendations, they can help keep your health care costs low. Trinity Health encourages you to select a PCP and develop a relationship with them.

4 The Affordable Care Act The Affordable Care Act (ACA) was put in place to make sure citizens have access to health insurance they can afford. Since Jan. 1, 2014, the law has required that most U.S. citizens and legal resident aliens have health insurance whether they get it from an employer, a private insurance company or from the government. If they do not have health insurance, they may have to pay a tax penalty. As a colleague at Trinity Health, here is how the law may affect you: Trinity Health will continue to offer health insurance for U.S. colleagues who are benefits eligible. During open enrollment, you can choose the Trinity Health medical plan that works best for you and your family. The law requires employers to offer medical and prescription coverage to employees who work more than 30 hours a week or more than 130 hours per month. Colleagues who work an average of 30 hours a week over a rolling 12-month period are eligible for medical coverage through Trinity Health. A Trinity Health medical plan may be your best option for coverage. You will probably continue to hear a lot about the health insurance marketplace that has been set up in each state to help people find health insurance. To evaluate the most appropriate coverage for you and your family, please visit Trinity Health will continue communicating with you about your benefits coverage as weremaincommittedtoprovidingyouwith the latest information. In the meantime, if you have questions, please contact the Associate Resource Center. Women s Preventive Care under the Affordable Care Act Part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (also known as health care reform) requires employers to cover certain women s preventive care services, including contraception, under health insurance benefits at no charge. As a health ministry of the Catholic Church, we have engaged in extensive advocacy with the support of the Catholic Health Association, to find an acceptable resolution to this issue. The final rules from the U.S. Health and Human Services, Treasury and the Department of Labor give an accommodation to certain religious and religiously-affiliated organizations, like Trinity Health, to provide an exemption from the requirement to provide contraceptive coverage to employees as preventive health services. The intent of the rules is to accommodate the moral perspectives of certain religiously-affiliated employers while also providing for the preventive health care needs of their employees who may not share the employers religious beliefs. In 2016, your medical/pharmacy benefit provider will continue to provide these benefits as mandated by the ACA. Trinity Health colleagues will be provided with access to these benefits, but they will not be paid for by Trinity Health or its health plans. Contact your medical/pharmacy benefit provider for further details. More about the Clinically-Integrated Network A Clinically-Integrated Network (CIN) joins local physicians and health care providers that have made a decision to partner with a Regional Health Ministry (RHM) to deliver services focused on high quality and cost-efficient care designed to improve the health of those we serve. Seeking care within the CIN can help you and your physician make health care decisions that ensure that you are accessing the right care, at the right time, in the right setting. In addition, by utilizing our CIN you will pay less out of pocket for the care you receive, because all of the CIN providers are in our Tier 1 network. The Affordable Care Act is changing the way we provide care. As a result, there have been many changes designed to help increase health care quality and reduce the cost in order to make it more affordable. Our health care organization is changing in order to deliver better care at a reduced cost and with an improved, people-centered care experience. There are a lot of changes happening on the health care landscape. We believe putting them in place will better position our organization to keep our colleagues and their families healthier, fulfill our Mission, meet our nation s needs and improve the health of the millions of people and the hundreds of communities we serve. If you have questions about these changes, please contact the Associate Resource Center at (Select Option 3 Employment Verification/Benefits) or via at associate resources@trinity-health.org. 4 Saint Joseph Mercy Chelsea

Get the free mobile application at If you don t have a smartphone, visit your benefits website to view the video. Medical Coverage Trinity Health is offering you three medical plan choices for 2016 which support our efforts to provide a common experience for all colleagues and provide meaningful choices. All three plans are administered by BlueCross BlueShield and support our clinically-integrated network structure. The three medical plan options are the Traditional PPO, the Health Savings PPO, and the Essential PPO. Each plan offers these three tiers so you can pay less by receiving care from network providers. Tier 1, or the Trinity Health network providers, are facilities or physicians aligned with our organization that provide you with the most cost-effective care. For services unavailable through Trinity Health network providers, select BlueCross BlueShield providers will be available at the Tier 2 benefit level. Tier 2 includes select BlueCross BlueShield Providers (facilities and physicians) not listed under Tier 1. Tier 2 providers can save you money, but not as much as using our Tier 1 network. Tier 3 providers are out-of-network providers and this Tier provides the lowest level of coverage. You can use these facilities and physicians for care, but you will pay the most out of your pocket when you do. How the medical plan works Traditional PPO If you elect coverage under the Traditional PPO, you pay for a portion of the medical services you receive until you meet the annual deductible. Then, coinsurance begins up to the annual out-of-pocket maximum. Health Savings PPO With the Health Savings PPO, you pay less per pay period for coverage leaving more money in your paycheck and you have access to a Health Savings Account (HSA) to help pay for current and future medical expenses. Here s how it works: First Second Third You pay the full cost of medical and prescription expenses until you reach the annual deductible (Note: preventive care services and certain preventive 90-day generic prescriptions do not require you to pay the deductible). Once you meet the deductible, you pay coinsurance until you reach the out-of-pocket maximum. Once you reach the out-of-pocket maximum, Trinity Health pays 100% of all remaining eligible expenses during the year. To learn more about the Health Savings PPO, see page 8 of this enrollment guide. If you enroll in the Health Savings PPO, you will automatically have an HSA. Trinity Health and Saint Joseph Mercy Chelsea contribute to your HSA to help you pay for expenses toward your annual deductible and out-of-pocket maximum. You can also contribute to this account to build savings for current and future medical expenses. We encourage you to consult with a tax advisor for IRS rules and tax implications related to HSAs. Essential PPO The Essential PPO works the same as the Traditional PPO where you pay a portion of the medical services you receive until you meet the annual deductible. Then, coinsurance begins. If you elect the Essential PPO, you pay less in premium contributions than in the Traditional PPO, however, your out-of-pocket costs are higher. Saint Joseph Mercy Chelsea 5

7 Paying for medical coverage Contribution levels for the medical plans are based on the Social Security taxable wage base ($118,500 for 2015, indexed annually) to ensure our benefit plan cost-sharing model is appropriately aligned with our colleagues income levels. The amount you pay for medical coverage is based on your annual base salary (your base rate of pay times your budgeted hours) and your participation in the Well-Being programs. If at any time during the 2016 plan year, you earn $118,500 or more, you will pay a higher premium contribution per pay period for your medical insurance. Traditional PPO Health Savings PPO Essential PPO Full-time Part-time Full-time Part-time Full-time Part-time Your per pay Reward No Reward No Reward No Reward No Reward No Reward No period cost Reward Reward Reward Reward Reward Reward Colleague only Colleague plus spouse/eligible bug adult Please contact the Associate Resource Center for medical plan rates. Colleague plus child(ren) Colleague plus family Need help with your health care costs? You may be eligible for the Essential PPO Assist plan if you meet certain income requirements. It is the same as the Essential PPO, but includes a Trinity Health-funded Health Reimbursement Account (HRA), to help you pay for your health care costs at the time of service. You do not make contributions to the HRA under the Essential PPO Assist plan. To participate in the Essential PPO Assist, you must apply for and meet specific income and eligibility guidelines. To learn more about the qualifications, please see the applicationform on My Benefits. You can apply for the Essential PPO Assist by completing an application form and submitting it with a copy of your most recent Federal Income Tax Form 1040 or 1040EZ to the Associate Resource Center via fax to or scan and to associateresources@trinity-health.org by Nov. 18, NOTE: Even if you think you qualify for the Essential PPO Assist, you should elect the medical plan you think will be best for you and your family which could be the Traditional PPO, the Health Savings PPO, or the Essential PPO. If you qualify for the Essential PPO Assist plan, you will be moved to the Essential PPO Assist plan. Otherwise, you will remain in the plan you elected during open enrollment.

8 More about the Health Savings PPO TheHealthSavingsPPO is a consumer-driven health plan which gives you the opportunity to participate in a plan where your health care costs are more closely determined by your decisions. Here are some reasons to consider choosing the Health Savings PPO in 2016: IlikedthatIsaved money in premium contributions spending money only when I used medical care. I can really save for my health care expenses when I use the HSA. It s great that Trinity Health makes its full contribution to my HSA in January. For certain generic preventive drugs and diabetes and asthma drug classes, I didn t have to pay my deductible before the plan started paying those expenses. How the deductible works TheHealthSavings PPO Plan includes a combined deductible. A combined deductible means the full family deductible must be met even if only one person in the family is receiving care. Coinsurance begins once the combined deductible has been met. How the Health Savings Account (HSA) works When you enroll in the Health Savings PPO plan, you automatically have a Health Savings Account (HSA) through Health Equity to help you pay for current or future health care costs. Trinity Health will make a full contribution to your account in January based on the coverage level you elect. In addition, you can also contribute to this account up to IRS limits: Coverage Level Trinity Health Your Voluntary Total IRS Allowed Contributions Contributions* HSA Contributions Colleague only $650 $2,700 $3,350 All other coverage levels $1,300 $5,450 $6,750 *If you are 55 or older, you can contribute an additional $1,000 in catch-up contributions to your HSA. May be subject to state taxation. Questions about the HSA How do I get an HSA? To be eligible for the HSA, you must enroll in the Health Savings PPO. In addition, you cannot have coverage under any other medical plan, such as Medicare, TRICARE, or coverage through a spouse s health plan. Who can use funds in my HSA? You and your dependents can pay for medical, dental and vision expenses with funds in your HSA. Dependents must be claimed on your tax return. Why would I contribute to my HSA? Contributions to the HSA are a great way to save on taxes. With the HSA, you do not pay taxes on the amount you contribute through payroll deductions, the amount you withdraw for medical expenses, and the interest you earn in the account (up to amounts set by federal law). Keep in mind that you can change the amount you contribute to your HSA at any time during the plan year. How can I use the money in my HSA? You may use the HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses now and during retirement for you and your qualified dependents. How do I pay for medical expenses with my HSA? When you receive eligible health care services, you can pay for those services with your HSA debit card, or through several online and smartphone app options. You ll receive more information about your payment options if you enroll in the Health Savings PPO with the HSA. What happens if I don t use all the money in my HSA each year? Any money you do not use during the year is carried over, without any limits. Remember, you own the money in your HSA and it is yours to keep even when you change jobs or retire. Can I enroll in the Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) if I have an HSA? When you enroll in the Health Savings PPO which includes the HSA, you will not have access to the health care spending account (HCSA). However, the HSA may be seen as having more advantages over the HCSA including: The opportunity to carry over savings from year to year you do not forfeit any amount in your HSA at the end of the plan year (if you are currently enrolled in the HCSA, you must utilize your account funds by Dec. 31, 2015); Contributions of up to $6,750 in tax-free HSA dollars each year (the HCSA maximum is $2,550); Your HSA dollars are saved in a bank account that may earn interest. How do I know if the Health Savings PPO, including an HSA, is right for me? Your medical plan choice depends on your personal situation. If you answer yes to some of these questions, the Health Savings PPO plan is right for you: Would you like to have lower per pay period contributions deducted from your paycheck? Do you want to save on taxes by contributing to the HSA for your health care costs? Do you need a way to pay for future health care costs? Can you see your HSA balance growing as you keep making contributions each year? We encourage you to consult with a tax advisor for IRS rules and tax implications related to an HSA.
