3 U.S. Medical – Goals and Results U.S. Benefits Results and Goals Claims have been significantly higher than premiums Deliver effective medical benefits and protect employees from catastrophic financial loss Goal of greater than 50% enrollment in HDHP Consumer-Driven Health Care (HDHP) Allows participants to use a tax advantaged Health Savings Account (HSA) Gives participants an incentive to learn about the costs and quality of care before spending Studies show HDHP participants are: Twice as likely as those in other medical options to learn about costs Three times as likely to choose a less expensive treatment option Chronic patients were 20% more likely to follow treatment

5 Phase One: Preventive Care Network Preventive Medical Care is covered at 100% Certain Preventive Prescription Drugs are covered at 100% up to $1,500/person/yr. If you meet the $1,500 limit, then you pay 20% until you reach the out- of-pocket maximum. These amounts do not apply to your deductible (deductible waived). HDHP: When you pay…and when you don’t ( Network Benefits) Phase Three: Meet your out-of-pocket maximum You pay 20% of the negotiated / discounted costs for covered network care and prescription drugs until you reach the out-of-pocket max. Annual Out-of-Pocket Max.: (amount includes deductible): $4,000 - “You only” $8,000 - other coverage levels Phase Four: The HDHP handles the rest The plan pays 100% of covered medical services and prescription drug costs for the remainder of the calendar year Phase Two: Meet your deductible You pay 100% of negotiated / discounted, covered medical & prescription drug costs, until you meet your deductible All covered medical & prescription drug costs are applied to your deductible Annual Deductible: $1,200 - “You only” $2,400 - other coverage levels
