Hospital Deductible Insurance (HDI) Supplementary “Gap” Coverage Complementing High Deductible Health Plans (“HDHPs”)

Fills The Most Important “Gap” Created By HDHPs: Hospitalization

Simple And Affordable First Hospital Confinement Coverage - The full benefit selected is payable when a covered person is confined as an inpatient in a hospital for at least one day - The benefit is paid once per covered person per Plan Year No Medical Questions Or Physical Exam Guaranteed Issue For All Eligible Employees And Their Eligible Dependents No Participation Requirements Benefits Paid Directly To The Insured

Fixed Indemnity Benefits Exempt From PPACA (Health Care Reform)

Benefit Amounts Employer can select any benefit amount up to $5,000 in $500 increments Standard benefit amounts: - $1,000 - $2,000 - $3,000 - $5,000

Premium Basis “Blanket” 100% of employee-only premium paid by employer Employee pays the balance for dependent coverage Pre-existing conditions exclusion waived Voluntary Employee pays all or any part of the premium Pre-existing conditions exclusion applies

Blanket $1,000$2,000$3,000$5,000 Employee Only $10$19$29$48 Employee & Spouse $21$42$63$105 Employee & Child(ren) $16$32$48$81 Family$28$56$84$140 Voluntary $1,000$2,000$3,000$5,000 Employee Only $13$25$38$63 Employee & Spouse $27$55$82$137 Employee & Child(ren) $21$42$63$105 Family$37$73$110$183 Monthly Premiums

Pre-existing Conditions* Definition: Any condition for which treatment was received or recommended or with symptoms which would cause an ordinarily prudent person to seek treatment in the six months prior to becoming insured Duration: Pre-existing conditions exclusion applies only during the first six months of coverage *Pre-existing Conditions Exclusion Is Not Applicable If The Employer Pays The Entire Premium

All HDHP Plans Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) Compatible With:

HSA legislation 1 prohibits anyone covered under a qualifying high deductible health plan and also covered under “any health plan which is not a high deductible health plan“ from taking a tax deduction for an HSA Title XII, Section 223 provides an exception for “other permitted insurance” which does not result in disqualification including (c)(3)(C) “insurance paying a fixed amount per day (or other period) of hospitalization” HSA Compliance 1 Public Law Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement And Modernization Act of 2003 – Effective January 1, 2004

Exclusions Hospitalization caused or contributed to by: Pre-existing conditions (applies only if employee pays all or part of the premium) Self-inflicted injury or attempted suicide War, military service or riot Alcohol or drug abuse Travel outside the USA or Canada Injury sustained when violating any law, during commission of a felony or engaging in an illegal occupation Confinement ordered by the employer or a family member Dental surgery

State Availability HDI is available to employer groups of 2 or more in all states except: Kansas Massachusetts Minnesota New York Oregon Vermont Washington HDI is restricted to groups with 51 or more employees* in: California HDI is restricted to groups with 25 or more employees* in: Arkansas * total number of full and part-time employees on the payroll, not the number insured or the number eligible

Outpatient Expense Gaps HDI provides specific protection against hospitalization - the most important and expensive coverage “gap” created by HDHPs. Outpatient expenses can be significant but most employees can find a way to pay for them because they do not occur all at once. HDI does not attempt to cover the outpatient gaps because: the combined HDHP cost and the in/outpatient gap plan premium often will total as much or more than the cost of a single comprehensive policy; Providing outpatient gap benefits can lead to increased utilization which negates the lower health care consumption behavior expectation that is the basis for the lower rates offered through HDHPs; HSA legislation prohibits a gap policy that provides outpatient benefits from being paired with a high deductible policy.

Rate Comparison With A Major Competitor’s In & Outpatient Gap Plan 1 Deductible / Inpatient Benefit Amount In & Outpatient Gap Plan Employee Only HDI 2 Employee Only In & Outpatient Gap Plan Family HDI 2 Family $3,000$46.36$29.00$151.59$84.00 $5,000$69.98$48.00$218.75$ Monthly Premiums – Employee Through Age 54 1 outpatient gap benefits capped at 50% of inpatient amount 2 HDI rates shown are blanket (i.e. 100% employer-paid)

Rate Comparison With A Major Competitor’s In & Outpatient Gap Plan 1 Deductible / Inpatient Benefit Amount In & Outpatient Gap Plan Employee Only HDI 2 Employee Only In & Outpatient Gap Plan Family HDI 2 Family $3,000$68.38$29.00$197.84$84.00 $5,000$105.48$48.00$291.23$ Monthly Premiums – Employee Age outpatient gap benefits capped at 50% of inpatient amount 2 HDI rates shown are blanket (i.e. 100% employer-paid)

Competitor’s In & Outpatient Gap Plan Design -Benefits are based on the expense incurred (HDI pays the full benefit upon admittance to the hospital) -Requires 50% minimum participation (HDI has no participation requirement) -Outpatient benefits are capped at 50% of inpatient benefit maximum and are limited to expenses incurred for: -hospital outpatient facilities -hospital emergency rooms (for injury only) -outpatient surgery centers -outpatient diagnostic testing facilities -ambulance services NOTE: GAPS IN THE GAP PLAN: The competitor’s plan does not pay benefits for physician office visits or emergency room visits for sickness
