All three of our plans the HRA, HSA and PPO include premiums, deductibles, copayments, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums.

3 Medical Coverage Your personal benefits counselor! For more details on each of the plans, please visit bswhbenefits.com. While you re there, ask ALEX to help you choose the right plan for you and your family! Learn more on page 10. All three of our plans the HRA, HSA and PPO include premiums, deductibles, copayments, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums. Each plan has the same provider networks, pharmacy formulary and covered services. The main difference is how you pay for care. Remember that with all three plans, you ll get quality care at an affordable price when you stick with our exclusive Tier 1 network of providers. Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) Plan This is a great plan for those who want to take a more active role in managing their care and like getting money from Baylor Scott & White to help. There is a higher deductible, but the HRA dollars help offset certain copays and deductible expenses. The new copays are an added plus! Your HRA helps you meet your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum. Subtract your HRA from the out-of-pocket maximum to see the most you will pay from your own pocket. How You Pay for Care: Baylor Scott & White contributes between $1,000 $2,000 to your HRA. This money pays for your care. Once it s gone, you pay from your pocket until you reach your deductible. Keep in mind that you can t contribute your own money to the HRA, but you can set up an FSA to use once your HRA is depleted. Did you know? The HRA and PPO plans feature embedded deductibles. You receive after-deductible coverage once you have met the individual deductible, even if you haven t met the family deductible. It s one of the best things about these plans. Another way we ve got you covered! The HSA plan does not include embedded deductibles due to Internal Revenue Service requirements. Deductible: Lab work, imaging, outpatient procedures, etc., count toward your deductible. The money in your HRA helps offset the cost. Copays: Tier 1 office visit copays are paid from your HRA funds. Tier 2 office visit copays are paid from your pocket with the exception of emergency care. Prescriptions: You pay copays for prescriptions (as low as $3 $5 for generics). Prescription expenses are not paid by your HRA. Unused Dollars: Money left in your HRA carries forward to the following year when you stick with the HRA plan. Unused dollars are forfeited upon retirement or termination. An HRA rollover maximum, equal to two times your annual Tier 1 deductible, will apply, effective Dec. 31, Benefits

4 Choose the right plan to balance your unique life. Health Savings Account (HSA) Plan This plan works well for those who want an added way to defer pretax dollars for future healthcare expenses (including in retirement). It is also a great plan for those who want to take a more active role in managing their healthcare. When you invest your funds and contribute your own dollars, this plan has real value! Employees with high pharmacy costs or those who are not used to managing a high-deductible plan should carefully research this plan before selecting. How You Pay for Care: Baylor Scott & White contributes between $500 $1,000 to help jumpstart your HSA account. You can contribute your own money to your HSA through pretax payroll deductions. Call PeoplePlace at , any time during the year to increase or decrease your contribution. Deductible: You meet your deductible by paying 100% of the contracted rate for office visits, prescriptions, urgent care visits, lab work, imaging, etc. Copays: Copays are not available with this plan, except for prescriptions after you meet your deductible. Prescriptions: You are responsible for 100% of your prescription costs until you meet your deductible. Once your deductible is met, you pay copays for prescriptions (as low as $3 $5 for generics). Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Plan This plan works well for those who want a lower deductible and the assurance of copays for office visits and most pharmacy costs. Employees who select this plan do not mind a trade-off for higher premiums (paycheck costs). How You Pay for Care: There are no funded accounts from Baylor Scott & White to help pay for your medical expenses. You pay for care from your pocket. Deductible: This plan offers a lower deductible than the other two plans. You meet your deductible with lab work, imaging, outpatient procedures, etc. Copays: You pay copays from your pocket for office visits, prescriptions, urgent care visits and the first visit to the emergency room for you and each of your covered dependents. Prescriptions: You pay copays for prescriptions (as low as $3 $5 for generics). Unused Dollars: Money left in your HSA carries forward to the following year even if you change plans. Unused dollars go with you upon retirement or termination Benefits

9 Here s a checklist to help you keep track of your benefits decisions. Decision 1: Medical Coverage Choose from the Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) plan, Health Savings Account (HSA) plan or Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan. Each plan has the same provider networks, pharmacy formulary and covered services. The main difference is how you pay for care. Decision 2: Dental Coverage Choose from two optional plans to help cover dental costs for you and your family: the MetLife Dental PPO and the MetLife Dental PPO Plus. Decision 3: Vision Coverage We offer an optional vision plan administered by Superior Vision. It covers routine exams, lenses, frames and contacts. You pay less when you stick with the Superior Vision network. Decision 4: Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) These accounts let you set aside pretax dollars to pay for eligible expenses. Use the dependent day care FSA to pay for child or elder care. Use the general-purpose FSA to pay your share of medical, dental and vision costs. The general-purpose FSA can accompany the HRA or PPO plans. Use it after your HRA is gone to help pay the rest of your deductible. The limitedpurpose FSA can accompany the HSA plan. Use the limited-purpose FSA to pay your share of dental and vision costs until your deductible has been met. After the deductible has been met, use this account to pay for medical costs too. Decision 5: Life Insurance For most employees,* we provide basic life insurance that pays your beneficiary an amount equal to one times your annual base salary ($20,000 minimum; $1 million maximum). If you desire additional coverage, you can purchase voluntary life insurance coverage for you, your spouse and children. Decision 6: AD&D Insurance For most employees,* we provide basic accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance equal to one times your base pay ($20,000 minimum; $1 million maximum). If you desire additional coverage, you can purchase voluntary AD&D coverage for you, your spouse and children. Decision 7: Short-Term Disability Insurance Short-term disability insurance pays a portion of your salary if you re sick or injured or add a child to your family. Keep in mind that you must purchase short-term disability to receive parental leave benefits. Decision 8: Long-Term Disability Insurance For most employees,* we provide basic long-term disability insurance that pays 60% of your base pay, up to $15,000 a month. You can purchase additional coverage to increase your benefit to 70% of your base salary, up to $15,000 a month. Decision 9: Legal Services You can purchase coverage with Hyatt Legal Services to help with a wide range of personal legal matters. Get access to a network of attorneys to handle real estate sales or purchases, adoptions, creating a will and much more. You can secure coverage for yourself or for yourself and your family. Decision 10: Retirement Contributions Now is a good time to review your retirement contributions. Make sure you re receiving the full 5% match and consider enrolling in auto increase to make saving even easier. If you are currently over 50 or turning 50 in 2018, you can make additional catch-up contributions. Keep in mind that you can make changes to your retirement savings plan at any time. *Other coverage levels for life, AD&D and disability are available for certain executive and physician roles and are visible in the PeoplePlace enrollment system Benefits
