Tier 1 Provider Network: a Better Value Scott and White Health Plan and Baylor Scott & White Quality Alliance (BSWQA) have grown our Tier 1 network by 50% over the past two years. This means expanded access to high-quality providers in more convenient locations. Our exclusive Tier 1 network is always the best value.

Income Bands: Making Care More Affordable Your medical premiums are based on how much you make and who you choose to cover. When you earn more and cover more people, you ll pay more for coverage. It s how we help everyone afford medical coverage. For 2018, our medical premiums include four income bands, up from just two last year. Learn more on page 6. How Copays Help Your HRA Dollars Last Longer BSWH Funding into Your HRA Tier 1 Network Preventive Care Visit Tier 1 Network Primary Care Physician Office Visit Tier 1 Network Specialist Office Visit E-Visits: Quality Care at Your Fingertips Get care when and where you need it. Similar to last year, the costs of E-Visits are waived* for These visits help you get basic care when it fits your schedule. *Waived cost for E-Visits doesn t apply until after the deductible is met for HSA plan participants. HRA Plan: Copays Help Your Dollars Last Longer The HRA plan is our most popular medical plan. We ve listened to your feedback, and in 2018 the plan will be easier to use than ever before! We re adding copays for Tier 1 and Tier 2 primary care physician and specialist visits. You can use your HRA dollars for all expenses incurred under the Tier 1 network. Tier 2 and Tier 3 office visits to a primary care physician, specialist and urgent care are not eligible for HRA payment. A rollover maximum equal to two times your annual Tier 1 deductible, will apply, effective Dec. 31, $1,000 $1,000 $0 $0 (-$95) (-$25) (-$130) (-$50) HRA Dollars Remaining $775 $925 Changes to All Medical Plans Deductibles Tier 1 deductibles are holding steady for 2018! As a reminder, you always save the most on copayments, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximums when you receive your care from a Tier 1 provider. Deductibles for Tier 2 and Tier 3 will increase. Tier 2 and Tier 3 providers have limited abilities to coordinate your care as effectively as those in Tier 1 (thanks to the Baylor Scott & White Quality Alliance). Receiving care from a Tier 1 provider always offers the best value. Emergency Room Care It s no surprise emergency room care is costly, both for patients and providers. All individuals needing medical treatment are encouraged to use the proper site of care based on their condition. In 2018, we are adjusting the way these visits are covered: 1. HRA and PPO plans: The first visit to the ER is $250 per insured individual. The cost of each additional visit will count toward your deductible and coinsurance. HRA dollars help cover these expenses. 2. HSA plan: ER coverage remains the same. You pay 100% of all costs until you meet your deductible. Once your deductible is met, you re responsible for 10% of the cost until the out-of-pocket maximum is reached. You can use your HSA dollars to help pay the cost or save them for other future expenses. Changes to Other Benefits Dental Coverage Great news! Dental rates are lower for all plans through MetLife. Also, the PPO Plus plan now covers implants. New Employee Assistance Program Provider Unum is our new Employee Assistance Program (EAP) administrator. You continue to have access to face-to-face counseling visits, telephonic visits, legal services and so much more. The EAP is available at no cost to all employees. No enrollment is necessary. To learn more, please call or visit lifebalance.net (user ID and password: lifebalance). Short-Term Disability Rates Our short-term disability plan remains the same, but rates increase by just 0.08%. Think carefully before you waive your short-term disability coverage. When an illness, injury, new baby or other eligible event requires time away from work, short-term disability will replace part of your pay. If you are not already enrolled in this benefit and would like to add it, you must complete evidence of insurability. Learn more at bswhbenefits.com.

3 Medical Coverage Choose the right plan to balance your unique life. 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. 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. 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). 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. 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. 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, 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). 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. 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). 3 Annual Benefits Enrollment Annual Benefits Enrollment 4

Here s a checklist to help you keep track of your benefits decisions.

Each plan has the same provider networks, pharmacy formulary and covered services. The main difference is how you pay for care.

Decision 3: Vision Coverage We offer an optional vision plan administered by Superior Vision. It covers routine exams, lenses, frames and contacts.

6 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 limited-purpose 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.
