OCTOBER 1 – 31, 2013
N DECISION GU
OPEN ENROLLMENT 2014
Open Enrollment is coming soon. You will have three health care options and new money-saving incentives for 2014. These important changes offer you more choices for coverage and encourage you to take steps to improve your health in partnership with the Plan.
Open Enrollment will be held Oct. 1-31, 2013. The choices you make will remain in effect from Jan. 1, 2014, through Dec. 31, 2014. You may not switch coverage type (for example, employee only) unless you experience a qualifying life event, such as marriage, birth, death or retirement. You can fi nd a complete list of qualifying life events in your Benefi ts Booklet, which will be available in December online at www.shpnc.org.
Read Your Materials CarefullyHealth care is complicated. There are concepts and terms that are unfamiliar to many people. Some of these terms are defi ned in the Glossary and appear throughout this booklet in italics. You do not have to be a health care expert to choose an option, but you do need to take the time to understand how the plans work. Here are the actions you need to take:
Step 1: Read this Decision Guide
Step 2: Understand your options
Step 3: Make your choice
This Decision Guide will navigate you through your new options and assist you with taking these steps.

1
THE ENHANCED 80/20 PLAN
The Enhanced 80/20 Plan is the current Standard 80/20 Plan with improved benefi ts and the opportunity to earn wellness premium credits (see below). It is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan administered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC). A PPO plan offers freedom of choice among in-network providers, lower out-of-pocket costs (copay only for most in-network offi ce visits) and a strong emphasis on preventive health.
With the Enhanced 80/20 Plan, you can seek care from providers in the BCBSNC Blue Options network or go out-of-network. However, if you stay in-network, your deductibles, copays and coinsurance will be lower. Services identifi ed as preventive care by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and performed by an in-network provider are covered at 100%, which means there is no charge to you, as long as medical management requirements are met. Prescription drug coverage remains the same as the current Standard 80/20 Plan with copays for each 30-day supply. Also, some preventive medications are offered at no charge. Please refer to the ACA Preventive Medications list located on the Plan’s website at www.shpnc.org. Additionally, you will have the ability to lower your monthly premium by completing wellness activities.
Monthly PremiumsYour monthly premiums for the Enhanced 80/20 Plan effective Jan. 1, 2014, are included in the table below. The rates shown apply to active employees and non-Medicare Primary retirees and their non-Medicare Primary dependents.

In order to receive the wellness premium credits, you must complete your wellness activities by Oct. 31, 2013. The smoker attestation can be completed only during Open Enrollment through eEnroll, but you may select your Primary Care Provider (PCP) any time prior to enrollment by logging into eEnroll. You can complete your Health Assessment now by logging into your Personal Health Portal, which is available via the State Health Plan website at www.shpnc.org or by telephone by calling 800-817-7044.

If you are not sure when you completed your Health Assessment, call 800-817-7044. The information you provide on the Health Assessment is confi dential. Federal law prohibits the Plan from using your personal health information to discriminate against you in any way or from giving this information to your employing agency/school or other unauthorized third party, except as allowed by law.
A Primary Care Provider (PCP) is a medical professional (a doctor who practices general medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics or obstetrics and gynecology or a licensed family nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant) whom you select to oversee all of your health care. Your PCP is listed on your ID card, but choosing a PCP does not limit you to that provider in any way.

WHAT IS A BLUE OPTIONS DESIGNATED PROVIDER?
Blue Options Designated providers have been designated because they provide the best quality and are the most cost effective. To fi nd a Blue Options Designated provider, visit the Plan’s website at www.shpnc.org and click on Member Services, then select “Find a Doctor or Facility,” or call BCBSNC at 888-234-2416. You can also access these providers through your enrollment system by clicking the BCBSNC link, which will take you directly to Member Services, BCBSNC’s secure member portal.
Wellness IncentivesIf you enroll in the Enhanced 80/20 Plan, you can take advantage of additional wellness incentives that lower your out-of-pocket costs for various health care services you receive throughout the year. These additional incentives include reduced copays for using your PCP and Blue Options Designated providers.

THE CONSUMER-DIRECTED HEALTH PLAN (CDHP)
The new Consumer-Directed Health Plan (CDHP) takes a different approach to health insurance. It is made up of two components: a high deductible health plan and a Health Reimbursement Account, or HRA. The CDHP also gives you the opportunity to earn wellness premium credits (see page 4).
The High Deductible Health PlanThe high deductible health plan covers the same medical services as the Enhanced 80/20 and Traditional 70/30 Plans. However, the CDHP deductible is higher. In addition, when you enroll in the CDHP, the State Health Plan sets up an HRA in your name. This account starts with a balance provided by the Plan, which is used to help you meet the deductible.
As with the other Plans, you can seek care from providers in the BCBSNC Blue Options network or go out-of-network. If you stay in-network, the Plan pays a greater portion of the cost. Also, like the Enhanced 80/20 Plan, ACA preventive care services performed by an in-network provider are covered at 100%, which means there is no charge to you, as long as medical management requirements are met. In addition, ACA preventive medications are covered at 100%, while CDHP preventive medications are subject to coinsurance only. Please refer to the ACA and CDHP Preventive Medications lists located on the Plan’s website at www.shpnc.org. Additionally, you will have the ability to lower your monthly premium by completing wellness activities.
The Health Reimbursement Account (HRA)For the account the Plan sets up for you, the beginning balance as of Jan. 1, 2014, will be:
• $500 if you have employee/retiree only coverage
• $1,000 if you have employee/retiree + 1 dependent coverage
• $1,500 if you have employee/retiree + 2 or more dependent coverage
The HRA funds are applied to the deductible, which means that you do not pay anything towards the fi rst $500 (for employee only) of services received. Once your account is depleted, you pay all of your remaining expenses in full until your deductible is met. After you meet the deductible, you pay 15% coinsurance for in-network services (35% for out-of-network services) until your payments reach the out-of-pocket maximum (medical and pharmacy). Then the Plan pays 100% of your covered expenses for the rest of the calendar year.
You can accumulate HRA value over time. Any amount remaining in your HRA at the end of the year can be used the next year for covered services. However, you cannot take the remaining funds with you when you leave employment or your coverage ends.
If you work for an employer that offers Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), you can contribute to an FSA and enroll in the CDHP. However, any expense covered under the CDHP will be automatically reimbursed from your HRA if funds are available—even if you pay the expense with your FSA debit card. To avoid using funds from your FSA and HRA for the same expense, be careful to use your FSA only after your HRA is depleted or for items that are not covered by the CDHP (such as eyeglasses). Once funds are reimbursed from your HRA, they cannot be redeposited.

Monthly PremiumsYour monthly premiums for the CDHP effective Jan. 1, 2014, are included in the table below. The rates shown apply to active employees and non-Medicare Primary retirees and their non-Medicare Primary dependents.

Wellness IncentivesIf you enroll in the CDHP, you can take advantage of additional wellness incentives that will add value to your HRA for various health care services you receive throughout the year. For example, you will receive additional value in your HRA when you use your PCP and Blue Options Designated providers. Page 2 provides more information about Blue Options Designated providers.

Get inpatient care in a Blue Options Designated hospital**
$50 is added to your HRA
** Blue Options Designated specialists and hospitals are designated as such in the “Find a Doctor or Facility“ online tool.
Prescription Drug Coverage under the CDHP
Most prescription drugs will be subject to the deductible and coinsurance. For preventive medications on the CDHP Preventive Medications list, you will be responsible only for the coinsurance instead of having to meet the deductible fi rst. This makes it easier for you to purchase the medications you and your family may need to stay healthy. In addition, medications on the ACA Preventive Medications list will be covered at no charge.
For all other medications, you will be responsible for the full cost of your prescriptions at the time of purchase until your deductible is met. Your pharmacy claims will be sent automatically to your HRA for claims consideration. If there are HRA funds available, you will then be reimbursed by check within a few weeks.

THE TRADITIONAL 70/30 PLAN
The Traditional 70/30 Plan is identical to the current Basic 70/30 Plan. It is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan administered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC). With the Traditional 70/30 Plan, you can seek care from providers in the BCBSNC Blue Options network or go out-of-network. However, if you stay in-network, the Plan pays a greater portion of the cost. Prescription drug coverage remains the same as under the current Basic 70/30 Plan with copays for each 30-day supply. The Traditional 70/30 Plan does not provide 100% coverage for ACA preventive care services or drugs on the ACA Preventive Medications list.
Monthly PremiumsYour monthly premiums for the Traditional 70/30 Plan effective Jan. 1, 2014, are included in the table below. These rates apply to active employees and non-Medicare Primary retirees and their non-Medicare Primary dependents. Wellness premium credits and incentives are not available with this Plan.

LEGAL NOTICESNotice Regarding Wellness IncentivesYour health plan is committed to helping you achieve your best health. Rewards for participating in a wellness program are available to all employees. A reasonable alternative to smoking status (participation in a smoking cessation program) has been provided to you. If your physician recommends a different alternative because he or she believes the program we make available is not medically appropriate, that recommendation may be accommodated to enable you to achieve the reward. Contact us at 855-859-0966 to make an accommodation request.
Notice of Grandfather StatusThe State Health Plan believes the Traditional 70/30 and the Enhanced 80/20 Plans are “grandfathered health plans” under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the Affordable Care Act). As permitted by the Affordable Care Act,
a grandfathered health plan can preserve certain basic health coverage that was already in effect when that law was enacted. Being a grandfathered health plan means that your plan may not include certain consumer protections of the Affordable Care Act that apply to other plans, for example, the requirement for the provision of preventive health services without any cost sharing. However, grandfathered health plans must comply with certain other consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act, for example, the elimination of lifetime limits on benefi ts. Questions regarding which protections apply and which protections do not apply to a grandfathered health plan and what might cause a plan to change from grandfathered health plan status can be directed to Customer Service at 888-234-2416. You may also contact the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services at www.healthcare.gov. As a plan “grandfathered” under the Affordable Care Act, cost sharing for preventive benefi ts will continue as it does currently and will be based on the location where the service is provided.

GLOSSARY
ACA Preventive Medications: A list of preventive medications required by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to be covered at 100% with no member cost share. The list of medications is based on recommendations from the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). The government guidelines are updated periodically and are subject to change.
Allowed amount: The charge that BCBSNC determines is reasonable for a covered service. This amount may be determined by agreement between the provider and BCBSNC. BCBSNC does not pay benefi ts on amounts that exceed the allowed amount. If you use an out-of-network provider who charges more than the allowed amount, you are responsible for coinsurance plus 100% of the charge that exceeds the allowed amount.
CDHP Preventive Medications: A list of preventive medications used to help prevent and manage certain health conditions. The prescription medications on this list will be covered as if the deductible is already met and will be subject only to coinsurance. This list is subject to change.
Coinsurance: The percentage of the cost you pay for certain services once you meet your deductible. For example, under the Traditional 70/30 Plan, a member pays 30% coinsurance for an MRI performed through a network provider. If the bill comes in at $100, the member pays $30 (30% of $100). Under the Enhanced 80/20 Plan, a member pays 20% coinsurance for that same service. If the bill comes in at $100, the member pays $20 (20% of $100).
Coinsurance maximum: Under the Traditional 70/30 and Enhanced 80/20 Plans, this is the most you pay for coinsurance in a calendar year. It excludes premiums, deductibles and copays. For the limit under the CDHP, see out-of-pocket maximum to the right.
Copay: A fl at dollar amount you pay usually at the time of service for certain services and products.
Deductible: The amount you pay each year before a plan pays benefi ts for services that require coinsurance. Under the Traditional 70/30 and Enhanced 80/20 Plans, the deductible does not apply to services with a copay except for inpatient
hospital. All plans have in-network and out-of-network deductibles. Payments for out-of-network services count toward the in-network deductible, but payments for in-network services do not count toward the out-of-network deductible. All plans also have an individual and family deductible. If the family deductible is satisfi ed, all individual deductibles are also satisfi ed.
Health Assessment: A confi dential questionnaire about your health and lifestyle that helps identify potential health risks.
Health Reimbursement Account (HRA): Under the CDHP, an account established for you by the Plan to help you meet your annual deductible.
Out-of-pocket maximum: Under the CDHP, this is the most you pay for covered expenses (medical and pharmacy) in a calendar year. It includes deductibles and coinsurance but excludes premiums. For the limit under the Traditional 70/30 and Enhanced 80/20 Plans, see coinsurance maximum to the left.
Premium: The amount you pay from your paycheck for health coverage, whether or not you receive health care services during the year. Use the online premium calculator at www.shpnc.org to see your monthly premiums for 2014.
Primary Care Provider (PCP): A medical professional (a doctor who practices general medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics or obstetrics and gynecology or a licensed family nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant) whom you select to oversee all of your health care. Your PCP is listed on your member ID card, but choosing a PCP does not limit you to that provider in any way.
Wellness incentives: Financial rewards available under the Enhanced 80/20 Plan and CDHP for using your PCP and Blue Options Designated providers.
Wellness premium credits: Reductions in your premium available under the Enhanced 80/20 Plan and CDHP for attesting that you do not smoke (or signing up for a smoking-cessation program by Jan. 1, 2014), completing a Health Assessment and selecting a PCP.
