Welcome to BorgWarner! We are excited to begin sharing the many benefits of belonging to BorgWarner. This Preview of the medical plans is just one of a series of communications you ll receive throughout the coming months intended to familiarize you with your new BorgWarner benefit program and help ensure a smooth transition. Specifically, this brochure provides an overview of the BorgWarner medical plans, explains some of the similarities and differences with your current medical plans and addresses the transition process. We realize that changes to benefits can cause some uncertainty, but you ll be pleased to know that, on average, replacing your current medical benefits with BorgWarner s will represent a significant benefit enhancement. COMING THIS FALL! YOUR NEW MEDICAL PLAN OPTIONS: During BorgWarner s open enrollment this fall, you can cover yourself and your eligible dependents under one of two Cigna medical plan options: Basic Plan Buy-Up Plan Both plans are built around a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA). Think of an HRA as a health spending account funded by BorgWarner that is used to pay for your share of healthcare costs, such as deductibles, copays and coinsurance until the fund is depleted. Both plans generally work the same way and cover the same types of services. However, they differ in the way you pay your portion of the costs the balance between the amount you pay upfront (through payroll deductions) versus the amount you pay at the time of care (through deductibles and coinsurance). THE BASIC PLAN tends to appeal to someone who doesn t want to pay upfront for medical care they are not sure they ll use. It offers lower payroll deductions but higher out-of-pocket costs (deductibles and coinsurance). TOP 5 THINGS TO KNOW about the BorgWarner HRA Both medical plans are HRA-based. Here are some key features of the HRA: It is funded solely by BorgWarner; you do not contribute. It provides first-dollar coverage for medical expenses. Since you don t contribute to the fund and any eligible expenses are automatically paid from the HRA, you won t incur any out-of-pocket health expenses until the fund is depleted. It is used for medical expenses only. However, you can pair the HRA with a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to help offset medical, prescription, dental and vision expenses. Any unused balance can rollover to the next year and continue to be available for medical expenses (up to a pre-set limit). THE BUY-UP PLAN tends to appeal to someone who is willing to pay more upfront so they have the security of paying less at the time of service. It offers higher payroll deductions but lower out-of-pocket costs. 5 The HRA is embedded as part of the medical plan and is NOT a standalone account that is used as a long-term savings vehicle. However, you may participate in the BorgWarner Retiree Health Account (RHA),for added support with saving for retirement.
A Closer Look at How the Medical Plan Works The medical plan consists of a number of key elements. Understanding each of these elements and how they work together will help you make the most of your medical benefits: HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNT (HRA). NET Out-of-Pocket-Maximum (OOPM) Serving as your safety net, the medical OOPM gives you peace of mind in the event of a costly illness or accident by capping the amount you d pay in coinsurance in a given year. Once you reach this maximum, you stop paying coinsurance and the Plan begins paying 00% of any additional eligible medical expenses for the remainder of the year. If you reach the NET MEDICAL OUT-OF-POCKET MAXIMUM, BorgWarner pays 00% of remaining eligible medical costs for the year. Once you meet the Member Deductible Gap, you and BorgWarner share the costs through COINSURANCE.. Medical Plan Coinsurance Once you meet your member deductible gap, you and BorgWarner share a portion of eligible expenses called coinsurance. Plan Deductible = + If you exhaust the HRA, you pay 00% of eligible expenses until you meet the MEMBER DEDUCTIBLE GAP. BorgWarner funds the HRA at the start of each plan year to be used to pay for medical expenses. This is intended to cover part of the plan deductible. 00% Plan-Paid Preventive Care (In-Network). Member Deductible Gap The member deductible gap is your portion of the annual plan deductible that must be met before the plan starts paying benefits. This means if you spend all the money in the HRA and continue to have medical expenses, you will pay 00% of those expenses out-of-pocket until it adds up to the member deductible gap.. The Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) Serving as the foundation of your coverage, the HRA is a special account that BorgWarner funds each year on your behalf. The amount contributed varies by which plan and coverage level (Employee Only versus Family) you elect. The HRA is your first source of payment for medical expenses, meaning when you have an eligible medical expense, it will automatically be paid for using those funds. It is designed to cover a portion of the annual plan deductible. Rx Coverage Highlights No deductible. Since prescriptions are not run through the HRA, you are not required to meet a deductible. Coverage begins with your first prescription! Nominal copay. By choosing generics, you only pay a flat-dollar copay and the plan covers the rest. You can choose to fill prescriptions with brand-name medications, but you ll pay more. Safety net. Prescription coverage has an Out-of-Pocket Maximum (separate from the medical OOPM). Once you reach this limit, the plan pays 00% of prescription costs for remainder of the year. QUICK TIP: Consider using a Health Care Flexible Spending Account to help offset out-of-pocket prescription costs.
