When using out-of-network providers, you pay 50 percent after the out-of-network deductible. **Retirees age 65 and older enrolled in the 65+ Plan are not eligible for copays. Your 65+ Plan benefits are secondary to Medicare. Please refer to your Benefits Booklet for more detailed information. What’s NewBeginning 9/1/2015 Out-of-Pocket Maximum Prescription drug deductible and copays apply to the out-of- pocket maximum along with medical copays and coinsurance

Preventive Coverage What’s covered? Recommended routine gender- and age-specific preventive care, such as annual physical, OB/GYN exams, mammograms and other cancer screenings, well-child care and immunizations – both facility and professional services Preventive coverage provided in-network at 100% with no copay, no deductible Get an annual physical to be sure you get the lowest premium! Remember: Lab tests related to an illness or condition are not considered preventive and may pay differently 4 Inform your doctor’s office that you are scheduling your “annual wellness checkup”

Retiree Information 5 Retirees under age 65 Are considered Network and can use the Network providers Remember: Enroll in BOTH Medicare parts A & B. When you receive your Medicare Card, notify BCBSTX and your Human Resource Office of your Medicare number which includes an alpha character. If you use a Provider that accepts Medicare or is a BCBSTX provider, you cannot be balance billed. Retirees age 65 and older Choose from: A&M Care Plan 65 Plus – you must be: –Age 65 and enrolled in Medicare Parts A&B or disabled under 65 and enrolled in Medicare Parts A&B –Working for the A&M System, if at all, less than 50% time or for less than 4.5 months during the plan year –If covering dependents, spouse must be age 65 or older (or disabled) and enrolled in Medicare Parts A&B

Your coinsurance will continue until you meet the out-of-pocket maximum, then plan pays at 100%. A&M Care 65 Plus = $1,400 + $500 Individual A&M Care Plan = $5,000 + $700 Per Person / $10,000 + $2,100 Family 6
