Health Savings Account
If you are enrolled for family coverage in the plans using a Health Savings Account (HSA), you must meet the full family deductible before coinsurance would apply. One member of the family could satisfy the family deductible before the plan begins to pay coinsurance. The family’s medical costs may be combined to meet the out-of-pocket maximum.
You decide which medical plan will work best for you and your family based on the monthly cost of coverage, the annual deductible, and the out-of-pocket maximum, and the funding account you will use.
PLEASE NOTE: You will be getting a new combined Medical/Rx ID card for this upcoming plan year. You will have to present the new ID card at the pharmacy come 1/1/2020 as your old ID card will not work.
Health Care Coverage
Your health care coverage includes medical, dental and vision plans. Detailed information about each plan is in this section. If you have questions, please contact Human Resources.
Your Medical Plan
You have two medical plan options:
Premium PPO Plan
Value HSA Plan
In/Out-of-Network Coverage
Each medical plan features in- and out-of-network coverage; individual and family deductibles; coinsurance; and out-of-pocket maximums.
You may use in- or out-of-network providers. You will always pay less if you see a doctor or receive services within the provider network because the plan pays more “in-network.”
Deductible
Some benefits with the Premium PPO plan have copays. For other benefits you must meet an annual deductible before the medical plan begins to cover a portion of your costs.
With the Value HSA you must meet an annual deductible before the medical plan begins to cover a portion of your costs however; your HSA may pay for some of those expenses on your behalf.
Once the deductible is met, the medical plan begins to pay for a percentage of covered expenses (this is called coinsurance).
Note that with the Value HSA, prescriptions are subject to the deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
Out-of-pocket maximums
Out-of-pocket maximums apply to all of the plans. This is the maximum amount you will pay for health care costs in a calendar year. Once you have reached the out-of-pocket maximum, the plan will fully cover eligible medical expenses for the rest of the benefits plan year (except for any copayments). If you see an out-of-network provider, you may be responsible for out-of-pocket costs that are considered above the “reasonable and customary” fees.

When you’re sick and need care quick, a Virtual Visit is a convenient way to start feeling better faster. With a Virtual Visit, you can see and talk to a doctor via mobile device or computer – 24/7, no appointment needed. The doctor can give you a diagnosis and prescription, if needed. With your UnitedHealthcare plan, the most you will pay is $50. Get care in 20 minutes or less! Use a Virtual Visit for these minor medical needs:
To get started with a Virtual Visit, go to uhc.com/virtualvisits.
1. Locate your member ID number on your health plan ID card or look up your number on myuhc.com.
2. Exercise your Choice! You have an option of 2 different provider group networks. You can choose either – your costs are the same regardless of which you choose.
3. Once you choose a Virtual Visit provider group you’ll be directed to their website from
myuhc.com or their app from Health4Me. You also have the option of going directly
to their website or app to access care.
**You can download their app directly from Google Play™ or the Apple® App Store®.
▪ Have your primary care provider name and medical history ready. ▪ Choose a pharmacy that’s open in case you’re given a prescription.

IMC provides you with dental benefits through Aetna. Regular dental exams can help you and your dentist detect problems in the early stages when treatment is simpler and costs are lower. Keeping your teeth and gums clean and healthy will help prevent most tooth decay and periodontal disease, and is an important part of maintaining your medical health. This chart shows what the plans pay:
It’s important to have regular dental exams and cleanings so problems are detected before they become painful—and expensive. Keeping your teeth and gums clean and healthy will help prevent most tooth decay and periodontal disease and is an important part of maintaining your medical health.

Available to those enrolled in the High Deductible Health Plan (Value HSA Plan).
If you elect to enroll in the 2020 High Deductible Health Plan, you will be eligible to contribute pre-tax money into a Health Savings Account (HSA) that can help you save for future medical expenses. This allows you to accumulate money tax-free, year-over-year to save for healthcare expenses, and also reduces your taxable income – so you pay less in taxes. HSAs are only available when they accompany plans with a deductible of $1,400 or greater (Individual), or $2,800 or greater (Family). The minimum deductible level is set annually by the IRS. HSAs are designed to help you save gradually over time so that you are more easily able to meet the higher deductible when you need care. The HSA is not available if you elect the PPO plan option. In order to receive company funding for the HSA you must open an HSA account with Optum before the day your benefits are effective (first day of the month following 30 days). Employer contributions will be available after the 1st payroll date.
Your Contributions In 2020, the IRS contribution limit for Health Savings Accounts is $3,550 if you enroll as a single employee, and $7,100 if you elect to
cover your dependents (Includes both “EE + 1” and “EE + Family” contribution tiers). If you are age 55 or over, you may elect an additional catch-up contribution of $1,000. Please keep in mind that the amount that IMC contributes to your HSA on your behalf
accumulates towards the IRS Maximums. For example, as outlined on Page Six if you enroll in the Value HSA Plan with employee only coverage IMC will contribute $1,000 to your HSA. This means you can only contribute $2,550 to the HSA (Single IRS Max $3,550 – IMC
Single HSA Contribution $1,000 - $2,550)

Single Family Age 55+ Single Family
2020 IRS Maximums $3,550 $7,100 $1,000 $1,000 $2,000
Annual Rollover
Funds deposited into your HSA roll over from year-to-year and keep growing for as long as you choose to keep contributing to your HSA. They are not subject to the “Use-it-or-Lose-it” rule. For this reason, HSAs are solid long-term healthcare savings vehicles. Though there
is an annual contribution limit, there is no annual rollover limit.
Termination of Employment If your employment with International Market Centers ends, your access to your Health Savings Account money will continue. You own
the account, so you take it with you, wherever you go.
Tax Implications Health Savings Accounts provide a triple tax advantage: Your contribution is deposited tax free, it grows tax free, and it stays tax free
when you use it, as long as it is used for qualified medical expenses as defined by the IRS. Additionally, if you enroll in the High Deductible Health Plan and begin using a HSA, make sure to let your tax adviser know about your HSA because there is an additional form to submit
with your annual tax return. Additionally, be sure to keep receipts of all expenses paid from your HSA because the IRS requires you to do so.
Health Savings Accounts and Other Insurance
If you or your dependents are currently covered by Medicare or by another non HDHP health plan (i.e. your spouse’s plan), you will not be allowed to contribute to an HSA for yourself or your dependents.
The minimum amount to begin investing your HSA funds is $2,000.

Flexible Spending Accounts
A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a program that helps you pay for health care and dependent care costs using tax free dollars.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) are designed to save you money on your taxes. They work in a similar way to a savings account. Each pay period, funds are deducted from your pay on a pre-tax basis and are deposited to your Health Care and/or Dependent Care FSA Accounts. You then use your funds to pay for eligible health care, dependent care or commuting expenses. IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT FSAs
Your FSA elections will be in effect from January 1 through December 31. You will have 120 days to submit these claims, allowing you to submit claims through April 30, 2021 for your 2020 election. This is known as the “use it or lose it” rule and it is governed by IRS regulations. Note that FSA elections do not automatically continue from year to year; you must actively enroll each year.
THE ADVANTAGES OF AN FSA
With an FSA, the money you contribute is never taxed—not when you put it in the account, not when you are reimbursed with the funds from the account, and not when you file your income tax return at the end of the year.

HIPAA Special Enrollment Notice
If you are declining enrollment for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to enroll yourself or your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing towards your or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after your or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage).
In addition, if you have a new dependent as result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption.
Special enrollment rights also may exist in the following circumstances:
◼ If you or your dependents experience a loss of eligibility for Medicaid or a state Children’s HealthInsurance Program (CHIP) coverage and you request enrollment within 60 days” or any longer period that applies under the plan after that coverage ends; or
◼ If you or your dependents become eligible for a state premium assistance subsidy through Medicaid or a state CHIP with respect to coverage under this plan and you request enrollment within 60 days after the determination of eligibility for such assistance.
Note: The 60 day period for requesting enrollment applies only in these last two listed circumstances relating to Medicaid and state CHIP. As described above, a 30 day period applies to most special enrollments.
As stated earlier in this notice, a special enrollment opportunity may be available in the future if you or your dependents lose other coverage. This special enrollment opportunity will not be available when other coverage ends, however, unless you provide a written statement now explaining the reason that you are declining coverage for yourself or your dependent(s). Failing to accurately complete and return this form for each person for whom you are declining coverage may eliminate this special enrollment opportunity for the person(s) for whom a statement is not completed, even if other coverage is currently in effect and is later lost. In addition, unless you indicate in the statement that you are declining coverage because other coverage is in effect, you may not have this special enrollment opportunity for the person(s) covered by the statement. (See the paragraphs above, however, regarding enrollment in the event of marriage, birth, adoption, placement for adoption, loss of eligibility for Medicaid or a state CHIP, and gaining eligibility for a state premium assistance subsidy through Medicaid or a state CHIP.)
To request special enrollment or obtain more information, contact the Human Resources Department.

Premium Assistance Under Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children aren’t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligible for these premium assistance programs, but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov.
If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available.
If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan.
If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren’t already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272).
If you live in one of the following states, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. The following list of states is current as of July 31, 2019. Contact your State for more information on eligibility –

General Notice of COBRA Continuation Coverage Rights
Introduction
You’re getting this notice because you recently gained coverage under a group health plan (the Plan). This notice has important information about your right to COBRA continuation coverage, which is a temporary extension of coverage under the Plan. This notice explains COBRA continuation coverage, when it may become available to you and your family, and what you need to do to protect your right to get it. When you become eligible for COBRA, you may also become eligible for other coverage options that may cost less than COBRA continuation coverage.
The right to COBRA continuation coverage was created by a federal law, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA). COBRA continuation coverage can become available to you and other members of your family when group health coverage would otherwise end. For more information about your rights and obligations under the Plan and under federal law, you should review the Plan’s Summary Plan Description or contact the Plan Administrator.
You may have other options available to you when you lose group health coverage. For example, you may be eligible to buy an individual plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace. By enrolling in coverage through the Marketplace, you may qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs. Additionally, you may qualify for a 30-day special enrollment period for another group health plan for which you are eligible (such as a spouse’s plan), even if that plan generally doesn’t accept late enrollees.
What is COBRA continuation coverage?
COBRA continuation coverage is a continuation of Plan coverage when it would otherwise end because of a life event. This is also called a “qualifying event.” Specific qualifying events are listed later in this notice. After a qualifying event, COBRA continuation coverage must be offered to each person who is a “qualified beneficiary.” You, your spouse, 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 continuation coverage must pay for COBRA continuation coverage.
Legal Notices
34
If you’re an employee, you’ll become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events:
• Your hours of employment are reduced, or
• Your employment ends for any reason other than your gross misconduct.
If you’re the spouse of an employee, you’ll become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events:
• Your spouse dies;
• Your spouse’s hours of employment are reduced;
• Your spouse’s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct;
• Your spouse becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both); or
• You become divorced or legally separated from your spouse.
Your dependent children will become qualified beneficiaries if they lose coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events:
• 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 entitled 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 continuation coverage available?
The Plan will offer COBRA continuation coverage to qualified beneficiaries only after the Plan Administrator has been notified that a qualifying event has occurred. The employer must notify the Plan Administrator of the following qualifying events:
• The end of employment or reduction of hours of employment;
• Death of the employee;
• The employee’s becoming entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both).
Legal Notices
35
For all other qualifying events (divorce or legal separation of the employee and spouse or a dependent child’s losing eligibility for coverage as a dependent child), you must notify the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the qualifying event occurs. You must provide this notice to: IMC Human Resources.
How is COBRA continuation coverage provided?
Once the Plan Administrator receives notice that a qualifying event has occurred, COBRA continuation coverage will be offered to each of the qualified beneficiaries. Each qualified beneficiary will have an independent right to elect COBRA continuation coverage. Covered employees may elect COBRA continuation coverage on behalf of their spouses, and parents may elect COBRA continuation coverage on behalf of their children.
COBRA continuation coverage is a temporary continuation of coverage that generally lasts for 18 months due to employment termination or reduction of hours of work. Certain qualifying events, or a second qualifying event during the initial period of coverage, may permit a beneficiary to receive a maximum of 36 months of coverage.
There are also ways in which this 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage can be extended:
Disability extension of 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage
If you or anyone in your family covered under the Plan is determined by Social Security to be disabled and you notify the Plan Administrator in a timely fashion, you and your entire family may be entitled to get up to an additional 11 months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a maximum of 29 months. The disability would have to have started at some time before the 60th day of COBRA continuation coverage and must last at least until the end of the 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage.
Second qualifying event extension of 18-month period of continuation coverage
If your family experiences another qualifying event during the 18 months of COBRA continuation coverage, the spouse and dependent children in your family can get up to 18 additional months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a maximum of 36 months, if the Plan is properly notified about the second qualifying event. This extension may be available to the spouse and any dependent children getting COBRA continuation coverage if the employee or former employee dies; becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both); gets divorced or legally separated; or if the dependent child stops being eligible under the Plan as a dependent child. This extension is only available if the second qualifying event would have caused the spouse or dependent child to lose coverage under the Plan had the first qualifying event not occurred.
Are there other coverage options besides COBRA Continuation Coverage?
Yes. Instead of enrolling in COBRA continuation coverage, there may be other coverage options for you and your family through the Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid, or other group health plan coverage options (such as a spouse’s plan) through what is called a “special enrollment period.” Some of these options may cost less than COBRA continuation coverage. You can learn more about many of these options at www.healthcare.gov.

CMS Medicare Part D Credible Coverage Disclosure Notice
Important Notice from International Market Centers About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare
Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with United Healthcare and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice.
There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage:
1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium.

2. United Healthcare has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by International Market Centers is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existing coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide to join a Medicare drug plan.
When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan?
You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15th to December 7th.
However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you will also be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan.
What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan?
If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current United Heatlhcare coverage will be affected. If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current United Healthcare coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will not be able to get this coverage back.
When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan?
You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with United Healthcare and don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later.
If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following October to join.
