The SB/A CoOp is a Non-Profit “Agency” Cooperative Corporation that does not buy or sell products or services but acts as the “Legal Collective Agent” of all the Cooperative Members to facilitate advantageous contractual relation-ships for and between the members.

together without becoming a Multiple Employer Welfare Association (MEWA) or acting as a Multiple Employer Trust (MET). The SBA CoOp sponsors the unique ERISA Employer Healthcare Benefits Plans that are ACA qualified when attached to ACA Minimum Essential Coverage.

The SB/A CoOp was formed in 2017 as a Non-Profit “Agency” Cooperative Corporation to provide for employer/employee health care benefits in the small and large group employer marketplace. Each group employer CoOp Member can sponsor a Partially Self-Funded ERISA Employer Welfare Benefit Plan for the benefit of its employees and their dependents. Called the “SB/A Cooperative Sponsored Freedom Plan,” it is an ERISA health plan for sponsoring employers offered in conjunction with Preventive Care Benefits. The employer’s claim exposure is protected via an

“Aggregate Stop Loss Fund (ASLF)” owned by the SB/A CoOp Employer Members.

Each SB/A CoOp Employer Member has its own SB/A Cooperative Sponsored Freedom Plan funded claim account adminis-tered by Free Market Administrators, the Plan Administrator. The employer’s maximum claim liability is limited to the 12-month level funding of its claim account. The Member Employers own the funds and will receive the defined surplus on a calendar year basis following a (12/18) accounting period.

The purpose for which the SB/A CoOp is organized is to foster the development of Partially Self-Funded healthcare benefit arrangements which include the use of Level Funded ERISA compliant “Limited Benefit Plans,” the use of Employer funded “Aggregate Stop Loss” coverage and reinsur-ance consistent with applicable state and federal laws, including ERISA. To act primarily as the legal agent for all the Cooperative Members in arranging for and facilitating ERISA compliant and ACA qualified employer/employee health benefit plans that are administered by a legal Third Party Administra-tor (TPA). Brokers/Agents that are members of SBA CoOp and who are compenstated by SB/A CoOp, market the SB/A CoOp and “The SB/A Freedom Plans.”

To participate and take advantage of the SB/A Freedom Plans options,

the following is required:

1. Broker and Employers must join the SB/A CoOp – complete the SB/A CoOp Membership Agreement and pay the annual $24 membership fee ($2.00/month).

2. Broker completes the SB/A CoOp Compensation form, Broker W-9, and Broker Information Form – this is a one- time requirement.

3. Employer completes the Group Information Form.

4. Employees complete the SB/A Sponsored Freedom Plan Employee Enrollment Form. For larger employer groups, Employers can submit an electronic eligibility spreadsheet.

Footnotes

PPO (Preferred Provider): Health care plans utilize providers that are within a network with general pricing and care agreements. You may choose any provider within your network. The SB/A Freedom Plans utilize PHCS, one of the largest provider networks in the country.Deductible: With the SB/A Freedom Plans, there are no deductibles. However, in traditional health care, a deduct-ible is the amount you owe for health care services your health care plan covers, before your plan begins to pay. For example, if your deductible was $5000, your plan will not pay anything until you’ve met your $5000 deductible for covered health care services subject to the deductible..24hr Virtual Clinic – 24/7/365 Virtual Medical Consultations. Immediate access to licensed Doctors and Nurses could be the first step in determining care needs or if an in-office visit is needed. The use of telemedicine has shown to reduce the stress of illness or injury and improve occupational health, ergonomic health, early symptom intervention, and behavior health. Make unlimited telemedicine calls for common issues not requiring recurring consultation. Chronic issues requiring recurring consultation limited to 3 consult calls per person per year.Co-Insurance: Your share of the costs of a covered health care service, calculated as a percent (for example, 50%) of the allowed amount of the service. The plan pays for the rest of the allowed amount. These plans provide for first dollar coverage with a 50/50 co-insurance. For example, if you have a 50% co-insurance on the first $10,000 of covered health care services, the plan would pay $5000.00 and you would pay $5000.00. If your plan had a component of 80/20 for the next $10,000 portion of a $20,000 base plan, the plan would pay 80% and you would pay 20%, or $8000.00 from the plan and $2000.00 from you. Note: A copay is offered for limited PCP services. Copays are a specific amount that you pay at the point of service for a visit to a provider.Pharmacy: Prescription pharmacy benefit contains the same zero deductible co-insurance provisions of all the plans contained within. Upon exhaustion of benefit plan, discounts are still available to all enrollees but without the co-insurance split.Inpatient/Outpatient: These are the hospitalization and professional services, medical and surgical professional services, ER/Urgent care, lab, X-ray and imaging, ambulance, chiropractic care, and inpatient/outpatient behavioral healthcare, provided for in the base plans.Affordable Care Act (ACA): Correctly named the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Congress signed into law the ability to obtain health insurance in all 50 states without fear of rejection for pre-existing conditions. There were subsidies for those whose incomes were below a pre-set threshold, and without subsidies would be unaffordable. Congress also mandated that citizens could receive an annual physical and required screenings and lab services under the Affordable Care Act, Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) provision.Careington Discount Dental Plan: The Careington Dental Point-of-Sale Discount Plan is not part of your medical benefits plan. Careington negotiates with dental providers nationwide to reduce costs, and has its own fee schedule. The Careington Dental Discount Plan is not insurance and is not intended to replace insurance. Inpatient Hospitalization and Outpatient Surgery, Professional Services: The Extra Enhanced Benefit (Plan C Only), extends care for medical and surgical costs when an extended hospital stay is authorized and patient is admitted. This Extra Enhanced Benefit (Plan C only) will also cover Outpatient (surgery only) hospitaliza-tion and professional services, and requires admittance. Excluded are outpatient drugs, kidney dialysis, chemo therapy, and all other infusion drugs. Extended benefits component will be second to pay after base plan annual benefits are reached.Out–Of-Pocket maximum (annual): This is the highest amount you will pay out of your own pocket as an individual or family for covered health care services within the limits of each plan.Annual Maximum of Coverage: The maximum amount of benefits and services named in the plan documents. This includes the base plan and extended benefits subject to plan description. For example: Plan C would have a maximum annual benefit amount of $20,000 Individual / $40,000 Family for the base plan, and $25,000 Individual / $50,000 Family for the extended benefit component.
