6 Frequently Asked Ques ons Can I waive my coverage? You may choose to waive coverage under the Medical Plan, but before you do, keep in mind that the Affordable Care Act also known as Health Care Reform requires most individuals to pay a tax penalty unless they have health care coverage that sa sfies certain minimum standards. The penalty is effec ve as of January 1, Call 4 Health s medical plan op ons sa sfy the applicable minimum standards, individuals enrolled in the Medical Plan will not be subject to the penalty. Please see The Affordable Care Act on the next page for more informa on. What happens if I miss the enrollment deadline? If you are a newly eligible team member and you do not enroll within the deadline, you will not have Medical, Dental or Vision coverage for the rest of the plan year. Your next chance to enroll is during the Open Enrollment period (typically in November) for the December 1, 2017 plan year. When is Call 4 Health s plan year?

7 Affordable Care Act The Affordable Care Act is also commonly referred to as Health Care Reform. Beginning January 1, 2014, most individuals (adults and children) will be required to pay a shared responsibility penalty unless they have qualified health care coverage. The law requires you to maintain minimum essen al coverage, such as coverage under: An employer-sponsored group health plan; or Medicare, Medicaid, Florida KidCare, Tri-Care or other Veteran s health programs; or An individual health insurance policy offered Government sponsored plans in the individual market or through an exchange. There are poten al penal es that could be imposed by the IRS for failure to maintain minimum essen al coverage which are as follows: 2016 and beyond - Greater of $695 per adult and $ per child (up to $2,085 for a family) or 2.5% of family income Health Insurance Marketplace On October 1, 2013, the Federal government established the Health Insurance Marketplace. The Marketplace (also known as the health insurance exchange ) allows individuals to compare and purchase private health insurance plans. Some individuals may be eligible for a premium subsidy from the federal government to assist in paying for such plans. Because all of Call 4 Health s Medical Plan op ons exceed the federally required standards for minimum value and affordability, you may not be eligible for any federal premium subsidies or tax credits to assist you in paying for the cost of the Marketplace coverage.

17 COBRA No ce COBRA Ini al No ce Con nua on Coverage Rights Under COBRA You are receiving this no ce because you have recently become covered under a group health plan (Call 4 Health). This no ce contains important informa on about your right to COBRA con nua on coverage, which is a temporary extension of coverage under the Plan. This no ce generally explains COBRA con nua on coverage, when it may become available to you and your family, and what you need to do to protect the right to receive it. The right to COBRA con nua on coverage was created by a federal law, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconcilia on Act of 1985 (COBRA). COBRA con nua on coverage can become available to you when you would otherwise lose your group health coverage. It can also become available to other members of your family who are covered under the Plan when they would otherwise lose their group health coverage. For addi onal informa on about your rights and obliga ons under the Plan and under federal law, you should review the Plan s Summary Plan Descrip on or contact the Plan Administrator. What is COBRA con nua on coverage? COBRA con nua on coverage is a con nua on of Plan coverage when coverage would otherwise end because of a life event known as a qualifying event. Specific qualifying events are listed later in this no ce. A er a qualifying event, COBRA con nua on coverage must be offered to each person who is a qualified beneficiary. You and your dependent children could become qualified beneficiaries if coverage under the Plan is lost because of the qualifying event. Under the Plan, qualified beneficiaries who elect COBRA con nua on coverage must pay for COBRA con nua on coverage. If you are a team member, you will become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the Plan because either one of the following qualifying events happens: Your hours of employment are reduced, or Your employment ends for any reason other than your gross misconduct. Your dependent children will become qualified beneficiaries if they lose coverage under the Plan because any of the following qualifying events happens: The parent-employee dies; The parent-employee s hours of employment are reduced; The parent-employee s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct; The parent-employee becomes en tled to Medicare benefits (Part A, Part B, or both); The parents become divorced or legally separated; or The child stops being eligible for coverage under the plan as a dependent child. When is COBRA coverage available? The Plan will offer COBRA con nua on coverage to qualified beneficiaries only a er the Plan Administrator has been no fied that a qualifying event has occurred. When the qualifying event is the end of employment or reduc on of hours of employment, death of the employee, commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy with respect to the employer, or the employee s becoming en tled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both), the employer must no fy the Plan Administrator of the qualifying event. You Must Give No ce of some Qualifying Events For the other qualifying events (divorce or legal separa on of the employee and spouse or a dependent child s losing eligibility for coverage as a dependent child), you must no fy the Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days a er the qualifying event occurs. 15

18 COBRA No ce How is COBRA coverage provided? Once the Plan Administrator receives no ce that a qualifying event has occurred, COBRA con nua on coverage will be offered to each of the qualified beneficiaries. Each qualified beneficiary will have an independent right to elect COBRA con nua on coverage. Covered employees may elect COBRA con nua on coverage on behalf of their spouses, and parents may elect COBRA con nua on coverage on behalf of their children. COBRA con nua on coverage is a temporary con nua on of coverage. When the qualifying event is the death of the employee, the employee s becoming en tled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both), your divorce or legal separa on, or a dependent child s losing eligibility as a dependent child, COBRA con nua on coverage lasts for up to a total of thirty-six (36) months. When the qualifying event is the end of employment or reduc on of the employee s hours of employment, and the employee became en tled to Medicare benefits less than eighteen (18) months before the qualifying event, COBRA con nua on coverage for qualified beneficiaries other than the employee lasts un l thirty-six (36) months a er the date of Medicare en tlement. For example, if a covered employee becomes en tled to Medicare eight (8) months before the date on which his employment terminates, COBRA con nua on coverage for his spouse and children can last up to thirty-six (36) months a er the date of Medicare en tlement, which is equal to twenty-eight (28) months a er the date of the qualifying event (thirty-six (36) months minus eight (8) months). Otherwise, when the qualifying event is the end of employment or reduc on of the employee s hours of employment, COBRA con nua on coverage generally lasts for only up to a total of eighteen (18) months. There are two ways in which this eighteen (18) month period of COBRA con nua on coverage can be extended. Disability extension of eighteen (18) month period of con nua on coverage: If you or anyone in your family covered under the Plan is determined by the Social Security Administra on to be disabled and you no fy the Plan Administrator in a mely fashion, you and your en re family may be en tled to receive up to an addi onal eleven (11) months of COBRA con nua on coverage, for a total maximum of twenty-nine (29) months. The disability would have to have started at some me before the 60th day of COBRA con nua on coverage and must last at least un l the end of the eighteen (18) month period of con nua on coverage. Second qualifying event extension of eighteen (18) month period of con nua on coverage: If your family experiences another qualifying event while receiving eighteen (18) months of COBRA con nua on coverage, the spouse and dependent children in your family can get up to eighteen (18) addi onal months of COBRA con nua on coverage, for a maximum of thirty-six (36) months, if no ce of the second qualifying event is properly given to the Plan. This extension may be available to the spouse and any dependent children receiving con nua on coverage if the employee or former employee dies, becomes en tled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both), or gets divorced or legally separated, or if the dependent child stops being eligible under the Plan as a dependent child, but only if the event would have caused the spouse or dependent child to lose coverage under the Plan had the first qualifying event not occurred.
