Garnett-Powers & Associates (GPA) is the broker/administrator and customer service provider for the TABP. We design, market, implement and administer benefit programs for Postdoctoral Scholars and Students at many campuses throughout the U.S. We act as the liaison between the insurance carriers and you by providing assistance with understanding and accessing your benefits. 3

Open Enrollment provides an annual opportunity for you to change your benefit choices and add or delete dependents. If you are not making any changes, no action is necessary. If you previously waived benefits, you may enroll. You are enrolling for the entire year. You may make changes to your elections during the year only if you have a change in family status or experience a qualifying event. 4

Examples of qualifying life events are:  Marriage  Divorce  Birth of a child  Death of a dependent  Spouse gains or loses coverage due to employment  Adoption or placement of adoption of a child  Loss of coverage  Dependent arrival in the U.S.  Dependent loss of eligibility due to attainment of age 26. 5

Under the Point of Service (POS) plan, the member does not have to choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP).You may use any provider. There are both in-network and out-of-network benefit levels. You will receive higher reimbursement if you use an in-network provider. You will need to satisfy a deductible before many services will be paid by the plan. 10

Under the HMO model, the member must choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP). Each family member may have a different PCP. A PCP must be selected and indicated on the enrollment form. Provider directory links are available on the GPA website. You are allowed to change your PCP once a month. Your PCP becomes your healthcare “gatekeeper.” If a member needs treatment from a Specialist or requires an In-Patient or Out-Patient hospital procedure, s/he must obtain a referral from their PCP prior to any type of consultation or treatment. If the referral is not obtained, no benefits will be paid. There is no Out-of-Network benefit (except in the case of an emergency). 12

This benefit is offset by other disability income, such as Worker’s Compensation and CA State Disability. The minimum benefit is $15.00 The benefit waiting period is 0 days for disability caused by an accidental injury and 7 days for disability caused by sickness or pregnancy. The maximum benefit period is 180 days. 32

Premiums are paid by the City of Hope. The Benefit Waiting Period is 180 days of disability. This program starts when the Short Term Disability ends. The plan will pay up to 60% of the first $8,333 of your monthly pre-disability earnings. The maximum monthly benefit is $5,000. This benefit is offset by other disability income, such as Worker’s Compensation and CA State Disability. Once approved, benefits are payable each month while you are disabled up to age

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was signed into law on March 23, The ACA requires that most people who are either citizens or legal residents must have health insurance coverage, or pay a tax if they do not. The intent of the ACA is make health care coverage available to those who are uninsured in the U.S. All states are required to offer a Health Care Exchange, either through the federal government, on their own or through a partnership between the state and the federal government. California’s Exchange is provided by Covered California. U.S. citizens and most legal residents are eligible for plans on the exchange. 34

There are differing levels of coverage and cost, as well as several insurance carriers offering the plans. In order to be eligible for the Premium Tax Credit, also known as a subsidy, a person must meet certain eligibility requirements:  Their employer offers coverage where the plan design does not meet the coverage requirements of the ACA.  Certain poverty-level income conditions are met.  The cost of employee-only coverage exceeds 9.5% of an employee’s wages. 35

Important ACA Information Specifically for Enrollees in the City of Hope TABP The Aetna and Kaiser plans meet or exceed the plan requirements of the ACA. To the best of our knowledge, the cost of single coverage for the plans does not exceed 9.5% of an eligible Trainee’s wages/stipend. It is highly unlikely that anyone enrolled in the City of Hope TABP medical coverage will be eligible for a subsidy through the exchange. For more information, please visit California Healthcare Marketplace at 36
