14 Plan Benefits - Kit Contents

15 Plan Benefits

Standard Part D Benefit Design Deductibl e Initial Coverage Limit (ICL) Coverage GapCatastrophic Coverage Beneficia ry pays first $320 worth of prescript ion costs before the plan starts to pay its share. Beneficiary pays a copayment/coinsurance and their plan pays its share for each covered drug until their combined amount (including the deductible) reaches $2,930. Once the beneficiary and their plan have spent $2,930 for covered drugs, the beneficiary is in the coverage gap. In 2012, the beneficiary gets a 50% discount on covered brand-name prescription drugs and 14% discount on covered generic prescription drugs that counts as out ‑ of ‑ pocket spending, and helps them get out of the coverage gap. Once the beneficiary has spent $4,700 out ‑ of ‑ pocket for the year, their coverage gap ends. Now they only pay a small copayment or coinsurance for each drug until the end of the year. $2.60 for generic $6.50 for brand or a 5% coinsurance, which ever is greater. You pay NO prescription drug deductible with PersonalCare

17 Reaching the Coverage Gap Example*: 30-day supply of a prescription = $100 (total drug cost) You PayPlan Pays Amount that counts toward the Initial Coverage Limit of $2,930 $10$90$100 *This is only an example and does not represent the actual cost you will pay for your specific prescription medication(s) If you are receiving Extra Help, the coverage gap does not apply to you

18 Closing the Coverage Gap Example*: 30-day supply of a brand-name drug Contracted Cost Dispensing Fee Contracted Cost After 50% Discount Total Member Cost (Discounted Cost + Dispensing Fee) $100$2$50$52** With Health Care Reform, beneficiaries will now receive discounts on their generic and brand-name drugs once they enter the gap **2012 True Out of Pocket (TrOOP) is $4,700. It includes any applicable deductible, copayments, coinsurance and out of pocket costs for covered drugs in the coverage gap. * This is only an example and does not represent the actual cost you will pay for your specific prescription medication(s) If you are receiving Extra Help, the coverage gap does not apply to you

19 Prescription Plan Benefits Formulary Exception – You can ask the plan to make an exception to the coverage rules Cost Tiers – Each drug is categorized by Tier, which determines how much you will pay for that drug Restrictions – Some drugs have Prior Authorization, Quantity Limits and/or Step Therapy requirements Transition Process – If you are entering or leaving a long-term facility, you can receive a one-time emergency 31-day supply of your medication(s) Network – Extensive network of participating pharmacies, as well as mail order option for long term medications Important: Review the plan’s Formulary and Summary of Benefits for details on the pharmacy benefit. Online searchable formulary:

20 Network Overview Extensive network of physicians, hospitals and facilities to provide you with convenient access to quality care

21 Member Rights – Appeals/Grievances and More As a member, you can: File a grievance if you have a specific concern/complaint or file an appeal if you disagree with a coverage of care decision Access medical treatment regardless of race, national origin, religion, physical handicap or source of payment Receive treatment for any emergency medical condition Refuse treatment, unless otherwise provided by law Be treated with dignity, respect, and right to privacy Receive information about the plan, its services and providers

24 Enrollment – What You Need to Know

25 Enrollment - What Happens Next Once we receive your application, we’ll confirm your Medicare eligibility with CMS. A plan representative will make three (3) attempts to call you within 15 days of receiving your application to:  Confirm that you have enrolled in our plan.  Review some important information about the plan and answer any questions you may have. If we are unable to reach you after the first attempt, you will receive a letter outlining the plan rules. Both the telephone calls and letters will cover the same information. You will receive a letter that your application was received and is being processed If your application was incomplete, you will receive a letter explaining what information is missing. You must reply by calling the telephone number listed on the letter within 21 days of the date on the letter to avoid cancellation of your application. Once your application is approved, you will receive another letter confirming your membership with our plan (Use this letter as proof of insurance until you receive your member ID card.) In the next few weeks, you will receive important materials regarding your coverage
