This is only a summary. If you want more detail about your coverage and costs, you can get the complete terms in the policy or plan document at www.myiuhealthplans.com or by calling 1.866.895.5975. Important Questions Answers Why this Matters: What is the overall deductible? Are there other deductibles for specific services? Is there an out of pocket limit on my expenses? What is not included in the out of pocket limit? Is there an overall annual limit on what the plan pays? Does this plan use a network of providers? IU Health/Community $600/$1,200*; Encore/First Health $1,200/$2,400*; Out-of-Network $1,200/$2,400* (*individual/family). Deductible is reduced to $0 for Salary Tier 1 team members if care is received at an IU Health/Community provider/facility. Does not apply to preventive care; All Copayments and RX s do not count toward the deductible. No Yes. IU Health/Community $3,750*/$7,500**; Encore/First Health $5,500/$11,000**; Out-of-Network $6,500 /$13,000** *OOP limit is reduced to $2,500 for Salary Tier 1 team members enrolled in Individual coverage. (**individual /family) Premiums; health care this plan doesn t cover. No Yes. For a list of in-network providers call 1.866.895.5835 or see www.myiuhealthplans.com You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay for covered services you use. Check your policy or plan document to see when the deductible starts over (usually but not always, January 1 st ). See the chart starting on page 2 for how much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible You don t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on page 2 for other costs for services this plan covers. The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay, for covered expenses, during a coverage period (usually one year) for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps you plan for health care expenses. Even though you pay these expenses, they don t count toward the out-ofpocket limit. The chart starting on page 2 describes any limits on what the plan will pay for specific covered services, such as office visits. If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan will pay some or all of the costs of covered services. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this plan pays different kinds of providers. 1 of 10

Do I need a referral to see a specialist? Are there services this plan doesn t cover? No Yes You can see the specialist you choose without permission from this plan. Some of the services this plan doesn t cover are listed on page 6. See your policy or plan document for additional information about excluded services. Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service. Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if the plan s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if you haven t met your deductible. The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If an out-of-network provider charges more than the allowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if an out-of-network hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay and the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.) This plan may encourage you to use in-network providers by charging you lower deductibles, copayments and amounts. If you visit a health care provider s office or clinic Primary care visit to treat an injury or illness Specialist visit Other practitioner office visit Use an In- unless $25 copay/visit Not subject to deductible $40 copay/visit Not subject to deductible $40 copay/visit for chiropractor Not subject to deductible 60% ---None--- 60% ---None--- 60% Coverage limited to one visit and 12 manipulations per calendar year Preventive care/screening / immunization No charge 60% Deductible waived- if an in network provider is used 2 of 10

Coverage Examples Coverage for: EO, EC, ES, FA Plan Type: PPO About these Coverage Examples: These examples show how this plan might cover medical care in given situations. Use these examples to see, in general, how much financial protection a sample patient might get if they are covered under different plans. This is not a cost estimator. Don t use these examples to estimate your actual costs under this plan. The actual care you receive will be different from these examples, and the cost of that care will also be different. See the next page for important information about these examples. Having a baby (normal delivery) Amount owed to providers: $11,825 Plan pays $9,233 Patient pays $2,592 Sample care costs: Hospital charges (mother & baby) $6,000 Routine obstetric care - Antepartum $1,200 Physician Delivery $2,085 Anesthesia $1,300 Additional Services $800 Prescriptions $200 Postnatal Care $200 Vaccines, other preventive $40 Total $11,825 Patient pays: Deductibles $600 Copays $235 Coinsurance $1,757 Limits or exclusions $0 Total $2,592 Managing type 2 diabetes (routine maintenance of a well-controlled condition) Amount owed to providers: $5,400 Plan pays $3,900 Patient pays $1,500 Sample care costs: Prescriptions $2,900 Medical Equipment and Supplies $1,300 Office Visits and Procedures $700 Education $300 Laboratory tests $100 Vaccines, other preventive $100 Total $5,400 Patient pays: Deductibles $600 Copays $580 Coinsurance $240 Limits or exclusions $80 Total $1,500 9 of 10

Coverage Examples Coverage for: EO, EC, ES, FA Plan Type: PPO Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples: What are some of the assumptions behind the Coverage Examples? Costs don t include premiums. Sample care costs are based on national averages supplied by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and aren t specific to a particular geographic area or health plan. The patient s condition was not an excluded or preexisting condition. All services and treatments started and ended in the same coverage period. There are no other medical expenses for any member covered under this plan. Out-of-pocket expenses are based only on treating the condition in the example. The patient received all care from innetwork providers. If the patient had received care from out-of-network providers, costs would have been higher. What does a Coverage Example show? For each treatment situation, the Coverage Example helps you see how deductibles, copayments, and can add up. It also helps you see what expenses might be left up to you to pay because the service or treatment isn t covered or payment is limited. Does the Coverage Example predict my own care needs? No. Treatments shown are just examples. The care you would receive for this condition could be different based on your doctor s advice, your age, how serious your condition is, and many other factors. Does the Coverage Example predict my future expenses? No. Coverage Examples are not cost estimators. You can t use the examples to estimate costs for an actual condition. They are for comparative purposes only. Your own costs will be different depending on the care you receive, the prices your providers charge, and the reimbursement your health plan allows. Can I use Coverage Examples to compare plans? Yes. When you look at the Summary of Benefits and Coverage for other plans, you ll find the same Coverage Examples. When you compare plans, check the Patient Pays box in each example. The smaller that number, the more coverage the plan provides. Are there other costs I should consider when comparing plans? Yes. An important cost is the premium you pay. Generally, the lower your premium, the more you ll pay in out-ofpocket costs, such as copayments, deductibles, and. You should also consider contributions to accounts such as health savings accounts (HSAs), flexible spending arrangements (FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts (HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocket expenses. 10 of 10
