This guide contains an overview of the PSEB benefit programs. Should any discrepancy arise between this guide and the official plan documents, the official plan documents will govern in all cases. Although we intend to continue this program, PSEB reserves the right to change and/or
terminate any portion of the benefit program at any time for any reason with or without notice. Participation in the benefit program does not give anyone the right to continued employment

HMAA PPO
The Hawaii Medical Assurance Association (HMAA) PPO plan offers access to HMAA’s provider network. For both in and out-of-networkproviders, you must meet the annual deductible before the plan’s coinsurance begins.
With the PPO plan, you have a choice every time you need care. Your network physicians will submit claims for you. If you receive treatment from an out-of-network physician, they may require you to pay the entire amount at the time of service and then submit a claim for reimbursement.
You may choose to have your treatment provided by an in or out-of-network provider. However, you will have lower out-of-pocketcosts when care is received from an in-network physician.
Preventive Care
Coverage for specific preventive care services is free when you see an in-network provider. A list of preventive services is available at www.healthcare.gov/coverage/preventive-care-benefits.
Find a Doctor
Follow the instructions below to to see if your doctor is in-network or to find a new doctor:1. Visit www.hmaa.com2. Select “Find a Provider”3. Select “HWMG: Medical & Dental Providers in Hawaii”4. Follow the on-screen prompts to find a doctor in your area
Medical
Spousal Surcharge
In line with national healthcare trends, PSEB is implementing a spousal surcharge. Associates who choose to cover a spouse who has the option to elect healthcare coverage
through his/her own employer will pay a $46 surcharge per pay period. To help you determine if the surcharge applies to your situation, please review the following scenarios:
You will be subject to the SURCHARGE:• If your spouse is working at an employer who offers group
health insurance, but has declined that coverage and wants to remain on a PSEB medical plan.
• If your spouse is eligible and/or enrolled in Medicare, but is still actively working at their own employer, who offers group health insurance, and chooses PSEB medical plan coverage.
• If your spouse is offered coverage for any time period throughout the year with their employer, and you choose to continue their coverage on a PSEB medical plan.
You will NOT be subject to the SURCHARGE:• If your spouse works part-time and has no access to health
coverage through an employer sponsored plan.• If your spouse is eligible and/or enrolled in Medicare, and is not
actively working but is currently covered as a dependent on your PSEB medical plan.
• If your spouse is a retiree from another employer, but is not actively working.
• If your spouse is unemployed and has no access to health coverage through an employer sponsored plan.
• If your spouse is self-employed and has no access to health coverage through an employer sponsored plan.
You will be asked to attest to whether or not your covered spouse has declined benefits through his or her employer when you complete your online enrollment in UltiPro.

Prescriptions
Associates enrolled in the HMAA medical plan receive prescription coverage through OptumRX at no additional cost.
Short-Term Medications
A retail pharmacy should be used when filling prescriptions for short-term medications such as antibiotics. When filling a short-term prescription at a retail pharmacy, simply present your member ID card to the pharmacist. You will pay a copay based on the type of prescription and will receive a 30-day supply
Ask For Generic Drugs
Generic drugs have the same active ingredients, dosage, and strength as their brand name counterparts and can cost significantly less. Ask your physician if a suitable, alternative generic drug is available. If you do not use generic drugs when they are available, you will pay the difference between the cost of the generic and the brand name drug unless your doctor writes “dispense as written” on the prescription.
Long-Term Maintenance Medications
Maintenance medications are those you take regularly for ongoing conditions, such as high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, diabetes, asthma, and arthritis. You are encouraged to use the mail order program for long-term maintenance medications. When you use the home delivery mail order service, you will receive a 3-month supply for the cost of 2-months.
Ask your doctor to write a new prescription for your plan’s maximum days’ supply with refills up to 1 year, as appropriate. You may mail your prescriptions in or ask your doctor to call 808-941-4622 for fax instructions. If your order is faxed, your doctor will need your member ID number found on your member ID card.

Dental
Aetna Dental Plans
Regular, professional dental care is an important part of maintaining your overall health. This year, PSEB is offering two options for dental coverage: the Basic Dental PPO Plan and the Enhanced PPO Plan. Both plans offer access to the same dental provider network, but they differ in the way they share costs with you. You may choose to visit in- or out-of-network providers and facilities on either plan, however, you will have lower out-of-pocket costs when care is received in-network.
The Basic PPO is a great plan for regular cleanings and fillings, whereas the Enhanced PPO plan offers expanded benefits including Orthodontia, Implants, and Bone Grafts.
Note: You will not receive an ID card for dental. Let your dentist’s office know you have Aetna and they will confirm your coverage with information like your name, Social Security number, and date of birth. If you would prefer to print an ID card, log on to www.aetna.com.
Out-of-Network Dentists
If you receive treatment from an out-of-network dentist, they may require you to pay the entire amount at the time of service and then you can submit a claim for reimbursement. If they charge more than the allowed amount, you will be responsible for anything over and above that amount.
Find an Aetna Network Dentist:
1. Visit www.aetna.com/docfind2. Continue as a guest or log in once you are enrolled in the plan3. Search for your provider using your home zip code or city4. Under ”Select a Plan,” choose Dental PPO/PDN with PPO II5. Select “Continue”6. Select “Dental Care” and find the type of provider you need

Vision
Vision Service Plan (VSP) Choice Network
Whether or not your vision is 20/20, regular vision care is important for everyone. Vision coverage is offered through Vision Service Plan (VSP). VSP has one of the largest networks of private practicing optometrists, ophthalmologists, and opticians. You have the option to visit a VSP in-network doctor or an out-of-network doctor. However, your out-of-pocket costs will be higher if you visit an out-of-network doctor. When you visit a VSP network doctor, your provider will submit a claim on your behalf. If you elect to visit an out-of-network provider, you will be required to pay them in full at the time of service. You will then have to file a claim for reimbursement with VSP. VSP will then reimburse you up to the allowed amount under the out-of-network reimbursement schedule. You do not need an ID card. Simply call an in-network provider to schedule an appointment and be sure to tell them you are a VSP member. They can then verify your coverage. Visit www.vsp.com for a list of providers in the Choice Network. Special Discounts
VSP offers special discounts on a number of non-covered services, such as additional pairs of glasses, special lens options, and LASIK surgery. For more information visit www.vsp.com or call VSP Customer Service at 800-877-7195.

Protecting Your Income
PSEB sees the importance of helping you protect your income during life events. That’s why medical
eligible associates are invited to enroll in an FSA to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for healthcare,
dependent care, or commuting expenses. Additionally, eligible associates receive company-paid life
insurance, along with the option of buying voluntary life insurance for yourself, your spouse, and your
children. Short-term disability (STD) and long-term disability (LTD) benefits provide eligible associates
continued income beyond Paid Time Off for non-work-related illnesses or injury.
Protecting Your Income | 14
Flexible Spending Accounts
Did you know you can pay for out-of-pocket healthcare, dependent care, and commuter costs with pre-tax dollars? Flexible Spending Accounts allow you to set aside pre-tax contributions through payroll deduction to pay for eligible expenses. They also help reduce your taxable income and are easy to use with a point of sale debit card.
The money that you contribute to your FSA is deducted from your paycheck in equal amounts bi-weekly. Your contributions are deducted before Federal, State, and Social Security taxes are withheld from your pay.
Navia is our new FSA administrator. Claims incurred through May 31, 2019 may be submitted to WageWorks for reimbursement through August 31, 2019. Funds remaining after the August 31, 2019 deadline will be forfeited. Healthcare FSA
The Healthcare Flexible Spending Account allows you to pay for eligible healthcare expenses that are not covered by your medical, dental, and vision insurance plans with tax-exempt funds. Such expenses may include: deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and prescriptions. You may contribute up to $2,700 per plan year (plan year: June 1 - May 31).
Healthcare FSA Debit Card
The FSA Debit Card makes using your Healthcare FSA dollars quick and easy. The card deducts each payment directly from your FSA account. You may be asked to submit a copy of your detailed receipt as proof of an eligible expense. If you pay for your eligible expenses out-of-pocket, please submit a claim form to Navia with a copy of your receipt. Keep your receipts in case of an IRS audit. New Healthcare FSA debit cards will be issued. Your current WageWorks debit card will no longer work as of June 1, 2019.
Dependent Care FSA
The Dependent Care FSA is a great way for you to pay for eligible expenses related to the care and supervision of your child or elder dependent. Such expenses include: nursery schools, preschools, before- and after-school care, day camps, and eldercare. The maximum amount you may contribute is $5,000 annually or $2,500 if married and filing separately.
Commuter FSA
The Commuter FSA allows you to pay for eligible commuter expenses including parking, subway, train, ferry, and bus expenses. The maximum you may contribute is $265 per month.
Bellevue associates are eligible to either participate in the Commuter FSA OR to receive an ORCA Pass / on-site parking subsidy. Navia Online and Mobile App
Filing a claim has never been easier! Visit The PSEB Collective for information on how to register for an online Navia benefit account, as well as mobile app information.
IRS Rules
Flexible Spending Accounts have a “use it or lose it” rule. Any money that you set aside in your Healthcare, Dependent Care, or Commuter/Transit FSA that is not used or reimbursed for claims incurred during the plan year will be forfeited. Plan accordingly and do not contribute more than the amount you are sure you will use during the plan year. You have until August 31, 2020 to request reimbursement for claims incurred through May 31, 2020. Visit www.naviabenefits.com/participants/resources/expenses/ for a list of covered expenses.
Current Healthcare FSA Members: New Navia Healthcare FSA Debit Cards will be issued.
Discard your WageWorks FSA Debit Cards on June 1, 2019.

Supplemental plans are designed to compliment your group medical plan. While you pay the full cost for this coverage, Aetna will pay you directly should you need to file a claim. Visit The PSEB Collective for more details on each plan.
Voluntary Accident, Hospital and Critical Illness Plans
We understand that medical costs and other life expenses can pop up suddenly, and sometimes when you can least afford them. With voluntary insurance benefits from Aetna, you can prepare for the unexpected. Coverage can help pay for some of your medical costs, such as deductibles and coinsurance. It can also help for everyday expenses, including your mortgage, groceries, and utility bills.
Coverage options include Accident, Hospital Indemnity, and Critical Illness. Read more below.
Accident: Provides cash benefits to help cover out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles or coinsurance, lodging, transportation, day care, utility bills, or whatever else is needed as a result of a covered accident. Two plan options are available. Both plans offer similar coverage, but Plan 2 offers richer benefits.

CERTIFICATE OF CREDITABLE PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE
IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM PSEB LLC 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 PSEB LLC 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. Your company has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by Aetna 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 through 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 coverage may be affected. Your current coverage pays for other health expenses in addition to prescription drugs. If you enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan, you and your eligible dependents may still be eligible to receive all of your current health and prescription drug benefits. If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current company coverage, be aware that you and your dependents may be able to get this coverage back by enrolling back into the company benefit plan during the Open Enrollment period under the company benefit plan.
SUMMARY OF BENEFITS & COVERAGE (SBC) DOCUMENTS
SBC DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE
Required Summary of Benefits & Coverage documents may be found online at https://TheCollective.psebllc.com. Paper copies are also available, free of charge, by contacting the Benefits Team at benefits@psebllc.com or 866-989-6958, option #2.
Required Legal Notices | 28
CERTIFICATE OF CREDITABLE PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE
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 the company 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. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS NOTICE OR YOUR CURRENT PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE…
Contact the person listed below for further information. Note: You’ll get this notice each year. You will also get it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if this coverage through the company changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR OPTIONS UNDER MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE…
More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare & You” handbook. You’ll get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare drug plans. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE:
• Visit www.medicare.gov • Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see the inside back cover of your copy of the “Medicare & You” handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help • Call 800.MEDICARE (800.633.4227). TTY users should call 877.486.2048. If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage is available. For information about this extra help, visit Social Security on the web at www.socialsecurity.gov, or call them at 800.772.1213 (TTY 800.325.0778).

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 January 31, 2019. Contact your State for more information on eligibility.

WOMEN’S HEALTH & CANCER RIGHTS ACT NOTICESIf you have had or are going to have a mastectomy, you may be entitled to certain benefits under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (“WHCRA”). For individuals receiving mastectomy-related benefits, coverage will be provided in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, for: • All states of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed; • Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; • Prostheses; and • Treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedema. These benefits will be provided subject to the same deductibles and coinsurance applicable to other medical and surgical benefits provided under the plan. Therefore, the following deductibles and coinsurance apply: If you would like more information on WHCRA benefits, call your plan administrator at 866-989-6958, option #2. Federal law (Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act of 1996) prohibits the plan from limiting a mother’s or newborn’s length of stay to less than 48 hours for a normal delivery or 96 hours for a cesarean delivery or from requiring the provider to obtain pre-authorization for a stay of 48 hours or 96 hours, as appropriate. However, federal law generally does not prohibit the attending provider, after consultation with the mother, from discharging the mother or her newborn earlier than 48 hours for normal delivery or 96 hours for cesarean delivery.
NON-TOBACCO USER DISCOUNT DISCLOSURE PSEB LLC is committed to helping you achieve your best health. The non-tobacco user discount is available to all eligible associates.

STATEMENT OF ERISA RIGHTS
As a participant in the Plan, you are entitled to certain rights and protections under the Associate Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). ERISA provides that all participants shall be entitled to:
• Examine, without charge, at the Plan Administrator’s office and at other specified locations, the documents governing the plan, including the insurance contract and a copy of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) if any filed by the Plan with the U.S. Department of Labor and available at the Public Disclosure Room of the Associate Benefits Security Administration.
• Obtain, upon written request to the Plan Administrator, copies of documents governing the operation of the plan, including insurance contracts, and copies of the latest annual report (Form 5500 Series) and updated summary plan description. The Plan Administrator may make a reasonable charge for the copies.
• Receive a summary of the Plan’s annual financial report, if any. The Plan Administrator is required by law to furnish each participant with a copy of this summary annual report, if any.
You have a right to continue healthcare coverage for yourself, spouse, or dependents if there is a loss of coverage under the plan as a result of a qualifying event. You or your dependents may have to pay for such coverage. Review the summary plan description and the documents governing the Plan on the rules governing your COBRA continuation coverage rights. In addition to creating rights for participants, ERISA imposes duties upon the people who are responsible for operation of the Plan. These people, called “fiduciaries” of the Plan, have a duty to operate the Plan prudently and in the interest of you and other Plan participants and beneficiaries. Fiduciaries who violate ERISA may be removed and required to make good any losses they have caused the Plan. No one, including the Company or any other person, may fire you or discriminate against you in any way to prevent you from obtaining welfare benefits or exercising your rights under ERISA. If your claim for a welfare benefit is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, you have a right to know why this was done, to obtain copies of documents relating to the decision without charge, and to appeal any denial, all within certain time schedules.
Under ERISA, there are steps you can take to enforce these rights. For instance, if you request a copy of plan documents or the latest annual report from the Plan Administrator and do not receive them within 30 days, you may file suit in a Federal court. In such a case, the court may require the Plan Administrator to provide the materials and pay you up to $110 a day until you receive the materials, unless the materials were not sent because of reasons beyond the control of the Plan Administrator. If you have a claim for benefits, which is denied or ignored, in whole or in part, and you have exhausted the claims procedures available to you under the Plan (see your plan document or summary plan description for more detail), you may file suit in a state or Federal court. In addition, if you disagree with the plan’s decision or lack thereof concerning the qualified status of a domestic relations order or a medical child support order, you may file suit in Federal court. If it should happen that Plan fiduciaries misuse the Plan’s money, or if you are discriminated against for asserting your rights, you may seek assistance from the U.S. Department of Labor, or you may file suit in a Federal court. The court will decide who should pay court costs and legal fees. If you are successful, the court may order the person you have sued to pay these costs and fees. If you lose, the court may order you to pay these costs and fees, for example, if it finds your claim is frivolous. If you have any questions about your Plan, you should contact the Plan Administrator. If you have any questions about this statement, or your rights under ERISA, or if you need assistance or information regarding your rights under HIPAA, you should contact the nearest office of the Associate Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, listed in your telephone directory or the Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries, Associate Benefits Security Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, 200 Constitution Avenue N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210. You may also obtain certain publications about your rights and responsibilities under ERISA by calling the publications hotline of the Associate Benefits Security Administration.

HIPAA SPECIAL ENROLLMENT RIGHTSNotice of Your HIPAA Special Enrollment Rights
A federal law called HIPAA requires that we notify you about an important provision in the plan - your right to enroll in the plan under its “special enrollment provision” if you acquire a new dependent, or if you decline coverage under this plan for yourself or an eligible dependent while other coverage is in effect and later lose that other coverage for certain qualifying reasons. Loss of Other Coverage (Excluding Medicaid or a State Children’s Health Insurance Program)
If you decline enrollment for yourself or for an eligible dependent (including your spouse) while other health insurance or group health plan coverage is in effect, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing toward 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). Loss of Coverage for Medicaid or a State Children’s Health Insurance Program
If you decline enrollment for yourself or for an eligible dependent (including your spouse) while Medicaid coverage or coverage under a state children’s health insurance program is in effect, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage. However, you must request enrollment within 60 days after your or your dependents’ coverage ends under Medicaid or a state children’s health insurance program. New Dependent by Marriage, Birth, Adoption, or Placement for Adoption
If you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your new dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption. Eligibility for Medicaid or a State Children’s Health Insurance Program
If you or your dependents (including your spouse) become eligible for a state premium assistance subsidy from Medicaid or through a state children’s health insurance program with respect to coverage under this plan, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan. However, you must request enrollment within 60 days after your or your dependents’ determination of eligibility for such assistance.
