New! Voluntary Benefits from
Guest Services will offer Aflac’s accident, critical illness and hospital indemnity plans for the 2019 plan year. Benefits can be used to pay for medical expenses like deductibles or coinsurance as well as, non-medical expenses such as additional childcare, bills and groceries. Supplemental health benefits are intended to alleviate your financial burden from unanticipated injuries, sicknesses and hospital stays, so you can focus on recovery!
Accident Insurance Accident insurance pays a specified benefit amount when you or a covered family member are injured as a result of a covered accident. You may choose between basic and enhanced coverage, and benefits may be used for both medical and non-medical expenses resulting from a covered accident. The plan provides both on and off the job coverage for covered injuries, treatments and services. For an example of what is covered under the accident plan, please review the table below. Accident Benefits Basic Plan Enhanced Plan ER and Urgent Care Treatment $100 without X-ray; $125 with X-ray $200 without X-ray; $250 with X-ray Ground Ambulance $200 $400 Major Diagnostic Testing $100 $200 Fractures and Dislocations $120 - $4,000 dependent on injury $240 - $8,000 dependent on injury
Critical Illness Insurance Critical illness insurance provides you with a lump sum benefit if you are diagnosed with a covered critical illness while enrolled in coverage. You may choose to elect $10,000, $20,000 or $30,000 coverage, which will be paid directly to you and you may use the benefit payment however you see fit. Covered critical illnesses include cancer, heart attack, stroke and many more. In addition, the critical illness plan includes a $50 health screening benefit, which will be paid to you when you participate in one of the covered health screening tests, for example, a mammography, chest x-ray or colonoscopy.
Hospital Indemnity Insurance Hospital indemnity insurance pays benefits to help cover the out-of-pocket expenses that may result from a hospital confinement, whether expected or unexpected. The plan includes a hospital admission benefit and confinement benefits for each day you are confined to the hospital or intensive care unit. You may choose between the basic or enhanced plan, both of which are outlined in the table below. Hospital Indemnity Benefits Basic Plan Enhanced Plan Hospital Admission $1,000 once per confinement $2,000 once per confinement Hospital Confinement $100 per day $200 per day Hospital Intensive Care $100 per day $200 per day

Health Savings & Flexible Spending Accounts and Commuter Benefits
Guest Services is pleased to offer Health Savings Accounts, Health Care and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts, administered by Bank of America and WageWorks. See page 8 for a comprehensive look at the differences between these plans.
Health Savings Accounts (HSA) You may use the money in your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses. HSA funds roll over and accumulate year to year if not spent. You own the money in your HSA and it stays with you! It’s a great way to reduce your taxable income now and prepare for your financial future.
Federal guidelines state you may contribute up to a maximum of $3,500 per year as an individual and $7,000 per year as a family.
Health Care FSA When you enroll in a Health Care FSA, you will need to decide on your annual contribution amount for the 2019 calendar year (January - December).
It is important to estimate your share of your eligible health care related expenses you are likely to incur in the 2019 calendar year.
You may use your Health Care FSA to pay for medical, prescription, dental and vision care expenses that are eligible for reimbursement under IRS guidelines. Reimbursement for eligible expenses may be requested for yourself, your spouse or your dependents.
Federal guidelines state you may contribute up to a maximum of $2,650 per year.
Dependent Care FSA The Dependent Care FSA lets you use pretax dollars toward qualified dependent care. You can contribute up to $5,000 ($2,500 if married but file taxes separately) for the Dependent Care FSA for children under age 13 and for disabled adults in your care.
If you elect to contribute to the Dependent Care FSA, you may be reimbursed for:
The cost of child or adult dependent day care (in or
out of your home)
Nursery schools and preschools (excluding kindergarten), and summer day camp
All 2019 FSA funds must be used before the end of the 2019 grace period (March 15, 2020) or will be forfeited pursuant to IRS rules.
Commuter Benefits WageWorks administers our commuter benefits program. You may elect to pay for commuting expenses on a pre-tax basis.
Eligible expenses include:
Parking - Qualified parking is defined as parking on or
near your work or on or near a location from which you commute by mass transit (e.g.: bus, train station, vanpool stops and monthly garage parking). You may deposit up to a maximum of $255 per month for parking expenses.
Mass Transit - Qualified transit is defined as transit
passes, a bus, railroad, subway, ferry, tramcar or commuter van pool that is used for transportation to and from work. You may deposit up to $255 per month for transit expenses.

Emergency Medical Leave Taking good care of our employees who have taken good care of our customers is very important to Guest Services.

Upon demonstrated and documented personal medical need, eligible employees may apply for EML of up to 160 hours for hourly employees, and up to 360 hours for salaried employees.

EML hours may not be carried over into subsequent five-year periods. Unused EML hours are forfeited at the end of the five-year period and are not compensable.
To apply for EML, contact Human Resources at 703/849- 9380 when the need arises.
Good to Know: Value of Disability Insurance The risk of disability is higher than you may think. It can affect you at any age.
Over 1 in 4 20-year-olds will become disabled before retirement A 30-year-old man is more likely to become disabled and need disability insurance than to die and need life
insurance. 1 in 8 workers will be disabled for 5 or more years during their careers
Besides the medical costs, becoming disabled will likely leave you unable to work. Even a short time without income can bring financial troubles. That’s where long-and short-term disability insurance step in.
Short-Term Disability Insurance Guest Services offers Individual Short Term Disability Insurance through Unum. Coverage is available to all eligible employees ages 17 to 69* who are actively at work. Individual Short Term Disability Insurance can pay you a percentage of your monthly salary if you become injured or ill due to a covered off-the-job disability or covered pregnancy.
You can apply for a monthly benefit of 40%, 50% or 60% of your gross monthly salary.

Patient Protection – Patient
Access to Obstetrical and
Gynecological Care
You do not need prior authorization from
from any other person (including a
primary care provider) in order to obtain
access to obstetrical or gynecological care
from a health care professional in our
network who specializes in obstetrics or
gynecology. The health care professional,
however, may be required to comply with
certain procedures, including obtaining
prior authorization for certain services,
following a pre-approved treatment plan,
or procedures for making referrals. For a
list of participating health care
professionals who specialize in obstetrics
or gynecology, call CareFirst at 1-800-
722-2467 or Kaiser HMO at 1-800-464-
4000.
Patient Protection - Designation of
PCP
You have the right to designate any
primary care provider who participates in
the network and who is available to
accept you or your family members. Until
you make this designation, Kaiser HMO
will designate one for you. For children,
you may designate a pediatrician as the
PCP. For information on how to select a
PCP with Kaiser HMO and for a list of
primary care providers, log onto http://
info.kaiserpermanente.org or call 1-800-
464-4000.
Women’s Health and Cancer Rights
Act
On October 21, 1998, the Women’s Health
and Cancer Rights Act became effective.
This law requires group health plans that
provide coverage for mastectomies to also
cover reconstructive surgery and
prostheses following mastectomies. As the
Act requires, we have included this
notification to inform you about the law’s
provisions. The law mandates that a plan
participant receiving benefits for a
medically necessary mastectomy who
elects breast reconstruction after the
mastectomy will also receive coverage for:
1. Reconstruction of the breast on which
the mastectomy has been performed, 2.
Surgery and reconstruction of the other
breast to produce a symmetrical
appearance, 3. Prostheses, 4. Treatment
of physical complications of all stages of
mastectomy, including lymphedema. This
coverage will be provided in consultation
with the attending physician and the
patient, and will be subject to the same
annual deductibles and coinsurance
provisions that apply for the mastectomy.
Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act
(HIPAA) – State Children's
Health Insurance Program
(SCHIP)
Loss of other coverage: If you decline
enrollment for yourself or for an eligible
dependent (including your spouse) while
other health insurance or group health
plan coverage is in effect, you may be
able to enroll yourself and your
dependents in this plan if you or your
dependents lose eligibility for that other
coverage (or if the employer stops
contributing toward the other coverage).
However, you must request enrollment
within 31 days after your or your
dependents' other coverage ends (or
after the employer stops contributing to
the other coverage.
Loss of Medicaid or SCHIP coverage:
If you decline enrollment for yourself or
for an eligible dependent (including your
spouse) while Medicaid coverage or
coverage under a state children's health
insurance program is in effect, you may
be able to enroll yourself and your
dependents in this plan if you or your
dependents lose eligibility for that other
coverage. However, you must request
enrollment within 60 days after you or
your dependents' coverage ends under
Medicaid or a state children's health
insurance program.
New dependent: If you have a new
dependent as a result of marriage, birth,
adoption, or placement for adoption, you
may be able to enroll yourself and your new
dependents. However, you must request
enrollment within 31 days after the
marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for
adoption.
Eligibility for Medicaid or SCHIP
premium assistance: If you or your
dependents (including your spouse)
become eligible for a state premium
assistance subsidy from Medicaid or
through a state children's health insurance
program with respect to coverage under
this plan, you may be able to enroll
yourself and your dependents in this plan.
However, you must request enrollment
within 60 days after your or your
dependents' determination of eligibility
for such assistance.
Medicaid and the Children’s
Health Insurance Program
(CHIP) Offer Free Or Low-
Cost Coverage
CHIP is short for the Children’s Health
Insurance Program—a program to
provide health insurance to all uninsured
children and who are not eligible for or
enrolled in Medical Assistance. CHIPRA is
the reauthorization act of CHIP which
was signed into law in February 2009.
Under CHIPRA, a state CHIP program
may elect to offer premium assistance to
subsidize employer-provided coverage
for eligible low-income children and
families. All employers are required to
provide employees notification regarding
CHIPRA.
Important Regulations
II │ 2019
Important Notice from The Guest Services About Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find
it. This notice has information about your current prescription
drug coverage with Capital Blue Cross and about your options
under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information
can help you decide whether or not you want to join a Medicare
drug plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare
your current coverage, including which drugs are covered at
what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering
Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information
about where you can get help to make decisions about your
prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice.
There are two important things you need to know about your
current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage:
1. Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in
2006
to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage if you
join
a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare
Advantage
Plan (like an HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug
coverage.
All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard level of
coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more
coverage for a higher monthly premium.
2. Guest Services has determined that the prescription drug
coverage offered with the Kaiser HMO, CareFirst PPO and
CareFirst HDHP 1500 plans is, on average for all plan
participants, expected to pay out as much as standard
Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore
considered Creditable Coverage. Because your existing
coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage
and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide
to join a Medicare drug plan.
When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible
for Medicare and each year from October 15 to December 7.
However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug
coverage, through no fault of your own, you will also be eligible
for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a
Medicare drug plan.
What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan? If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current Guest
Services coverage will not be affected. Part D eligible individuals
(or their dependents) can retain their existing coverage and
choose not to enroll in a part D plan; or, they can enroll in a part
D plan as a supplement to, or in lieu of the other coverage.
Finally, if the member’s existing prescription drug coverage is
with a Medigap policy, they cannot have both their existing
prescription drug coverage and part D coverage. See pages 7- 9
of the CMS Disclosure of Creditable Coverage To Medicare Part D
Eligible Individuals Guidance (available at http://
www.cms.hhs.gov/CreditableCoverage/), which outlines the
prescription drug
plan provisions/options that Medicare eligible individuals
may have available to them when they become eligible for
Medicare Part D. If you decide to join a join a Medicare drug plan
and drop your current Guest Services coverage, be aware that
you and your dependents will be able to get this coverage back
at Guest Services next open enrollment period.
When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan? You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage
with Guest Services and don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63
continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a
higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later.
If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable
prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up by
at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month
for every month that you did not have that coverage. For
example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage,
your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the
Medicare base beneficiary premium. You may have to pay this
higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare
prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait
until the following November to join.
For More Information About This Notice Or Your Current Prescription Drug Coverage… Contact the person listed below for further information. NOTE:
You’ll get this notice each year. You will also get it before the next
period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if this coverage
through Guest Services changes. You also may request a copy of
this notice at any time.
For More Information About Your Options Under Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage… More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer
prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare & You” handbook.
You’ll get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from
Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare drug
plans.

the inside back cover of your copy of the “Medicare & You”
handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help
Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should
call 1-877-486-2048.
If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for
Medicare prescription drug coverage is available. For information
about this extra help, visit Social Security on the web at
www.socialsecurity.gov, or call them at 1-800-772-1213 , TTY 1-
800-325-0778).
Remember: Keep this Creditable Coverage notice. If you decide to
join one of the Medicare drug plans, you may be required to provide
a copy of this notice when you join to show whether or not you have
maintained creditable coverage and, therefore, whether or not you
are required to pay a higher premium (a penalty).

Benefits Information Guide │ III
Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) of
1996 Privacy Notice
This notice describes how medical information about you may
be used and disclosed and how you can get access to this in-
formation. Please read this notice carefully.
Guest Services benefit plans provide various welfare benefits,
including the following self-insured health care benefits: medi-
cal, dental, vision and Health Care Spending Accounts. These
self-insured health care benefits are collectively referred to
herein as the “Plan”. This notice describes the legal obligations
of the Plan under the Health Insurance Portability and Account-
ability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and your legal rights regarding
your protected health information held by the Plan. Note: If
you receive insured medical benefits, you will receive a sepa-
rate Notice of Privacy Practices from the insurer with respect to
such insured benefits.
The Plan is required by federal law to maintain the privacy of
protected health information and to provide you with Notice of
the Plan’s duties and privacy practices. Protected health infor-
mation (“PHI”) means individually identifiable health infor-
mation that is created or received by the Plan that relates to:
your present, or future physical or mental health or condi-
tion;
the provision of health care to you; or
the past, present, or future payment for the provision of
health care to you.
Individually identifiable health information includes any infor-
mation, including demographic information, for which there is a
reasonable basis to believe the information can be used to
identify you. In general, the Plan receives and maintains
health information only as needed for claims or plan opera-
tions. The primary source of your health information is the
healthcare provider (for example, your doctor, dentist or hospi-
tal) that created the records.
The Plan is required to operate in accordance with the terms of
this Notice. The Plan reserves the right to change the terms of
this Notice. If there is a material change to the uses or disclo-
sures, your rights, the Plan’s legal duties or privacy practices,
the Notice will be revised and you will receive a copy of it. The
new provisions will apply to all protected health information the
Plan maintains, including information that existed prior to the
revision. This Notice was effective July 1, 2010.
The Plan may use and disclose your PHI without your
authorization or consent for purposes of treatment, pay-
ment and health care operations.
The Plan is permitted to use or disclose PHI without your con-
sent or authorization in order to carry out treatment, payment
or health care operations. Information about treatment in-
volves the care and services you receive from a health care
doctor or a hospital. Information about payment involves activi-
ties by the Plan to provide coverage and benefits.
Payment activities include determinations of eligibility, covered
services and claims payment. For example, claims are made for
services you receive from a doctor. Health care operations in-
clude activities of administration for the Plan and arranging for
outside services. For example, the Plan provides information to
an insurance company for the purpose of determining eligibility.
The Plan may contract with Business Employees to provide cer-
tain types of services. In order to perform those services, Busi-
ness Employees will receive, create, maintain, use and disclose
your PHI, but only after they agree in writing to implement ap-
propriate safeguards regarding your PHI. For example, the Plan
may disclose your PHI to a Business.
Employee to administer claims or to provide support services.
The Plan may contact you to provide information about treat-
ment alternatives or other health-related benefits that may be of
interest to you. The Plan may disclose health information to the
Plan sponsor if it is needed to carry out administrative functions
of the Plan.
The Plan may use or disclose your PHI for other purposes
without your written consent or authorization.
Your consent or authorization is not needed before the Plan dis-
closes your PHI for one or more of the following reasons:
For any purpose required by law, such as responding to a
court order.
For public health activities as authorized by law or to comply
with applicable law, such as reporting disease, injury, birth,
death, or public health surveillance, investigations and inter-
ventions.
To the proper government authorities if child abuse or ne-
glect is reported, or if the Plan reasonably believes an indi-
vidual is a victim of abuse, neglect or domestic violence.
To a health oversight agency for oversight authorized by
law for audits, investigations, proceedings and actions.
In the course of any judicial or administrative proceedings
(for example, responding to a subpoena or lawful request).
To a law enforcement official (for example, court order, war-
rant, subpoena or summons).
To a coroner or medical examiner or funeral director (for
example, to identify the deceased).
To facilitate organ, eye or tissue donation and transplanta-
tion.
For research purposes as permitted and provided for by law.
To avert a serious threat to health or safety of a person or
the public, if consistent with legal and ethical standards.
IV │ 2019
If required by law, to the Secretary of the Department of
Health and Human Services to investigate or determine the
Plan’s compliance with applicable law.
The Plan may use and disclose your PHI in cases not de-
scribed above only with your written authorization.
If you authorize a use or disclosure, you have the right to revoke
that authorization. Your decision to revoke an authorization must
be in writing, must be timely and delivered to the Guest Services
Chief Human Resources Officer. Your revocation of your authoriza-
tion will apply only to future disclosures of PHI. Once the Plan has
taken action in reliance on your authorization, the authorization
can no longer be revoked for PHI already released.
Your Rights with Respect to Protected Health Information
The privacy of health information that can be identified as infor-
mation about you is protected. Not all health information is pro-
tected. Health information that does not identify you or cannot be
used to identify you is not protected. You have the following
rights:
You have the right to request restrictions on certain uses and
disclosures of PHI about your. You may request a restriction
on the use or disclosure for the purposes of treatment, pay-
ment or health care operations. Your request must be in writ-
ing. The Plan is not required to agree to this restriction if it
would prevent the Plan from carrying out payment or health
care operations. Even is the Plan agrees, there are exceptions
to a restriction, for example, if you need emergency treat-
ment. There are certain uses and disclosures that cannot be
restricted. For example, if disclosure is required by law, a
restriction would not apply. You may terminate any restriction
that you have requested. The Plan may terminate any re-
striction it agreed to without your approval. A termination by
the Plan will affect only new information; that is, information
created or received by the Plan after the termination.
You have a right to receive confidential (alternative) communi-
cations of protected health information. You may request that
protected health information be communicated to you at an
alternative address or by alternative means if you clearly state
in your request that disclosure of all or part of protected
health information could endanger you. Your request must be
in writing. Your request must specify an alternative address
or other method of contact. The plan will accommodate rea-
sonable requests.
You have a right to inspect and copy certain protected health infor-
mation about you that is maintained by the Plan. Remember that
your healthcare provider has the most complete records of your
health care. The provider has health information about you that
the plan does not have, use or maintain. We recommend that you
contact your health care provider to review your health infor-
mation. If you want to see the information maintained by the
Plan, you must make the request in writing to the Guest Services
Chief Human Resources
Officer. The Plan may charge you a cost-based fee for
supplies, labor and postage. If you ask for a summary
or explanation of your PHI, the Plan may charge you for
the cost of preparing the summary or explanation. Your
right of access is limited. You do not have a right of
access to psychotherapy notes, or to information used in
judicial or administrative proceedings, or subject to the
federal Privacy Act, or under a promise of confidentiali-
ty.
You have a right to amend protected health information
about you that is maintained by the Plan. Your request
must be in writing and must give a reason for your re-
quest. Your right to amend is limited. You may only
amend information that is available to you under your
right of access. The Plan may deny your request if the
information was not created by the Plan and the creator
of the information is still available to respond to your
request. The Plan may deny your request if the infor-
mation is already accurate and complete.
You have a right to request and receive a paper copy of
this Notice. If you have agreed to receive this Notice by
e-mail, you have a right also to receive a paper copy
upon request.
You have a right to be notified if there is a breach re-
garding your PHI. The Plan must notify you of any un-
authorized use or disclosure of your PHI that violates
the HIPAA privacy rules and that poses a significant risk
of financial, reputational or other harm to you. The Plan
must notify you no later than 60 days after the breach is
discovered.
Complaints
You may complain to the Plan or to the Secretary of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services if you believe
your privacy rights have been violated. Complaints to the
Plan should be made to the Guest Services Chief Human
Resources Officer. Retaliation against a person who files a
complaint is prohibited.

resource representative or call CareFirst at 1-800-853-9236

Benefits Information Guide │ V
If you or your children are eligible for
Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for
health coverage from your employer, your
state may have a premium assistance
program that can help pay for coverage,
using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP
programs. If you or your children aren’t
eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be
eligible for these premium assistance
programs but you may be able to buy
individual insurance coverage through the
Health Insurance Marketplace. For more
information, visit www.healthcare.gov.
If you or your dependents are already
enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in
a State listed below, contact your State
Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium
assistance is available.
If you or your dependents are NOT currently
enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think
you or any of your dependents might be
eligible for either of these programs, contact
your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial
1-877-KIDS NOW or
www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how
to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it
has a program that might help you pay the
premiums for an employer-sponsored plan.
If you or your dependents are eligible for
premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP,
as well as eligible under your employer plan,
your employer must allow you to enroll in
your employer plan if you aren’t already
enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment”
opportunity, and you must request
coverage within 60 days of being
determined eligible for premium
assistance. If you have questions about
enrolling in your employer plan, contact the
Department of Labor at
www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-
EBSA (3272).

Benefits Information Guide │ VII
Health Care Reform Update
The Affordable Care Act (or ACA) continues to impact health insurance plans for employers like CRC. For the company, it means we continue to comply with all applicable health plan coverage and administration requirements and pay all applicable taxes and fees as required by the ACA.
However, 2019 will bring one significant change in how the ACA affects individuals. Since 2014, the law has required most individuals to have health insurance coverage or pay a tax penalty. Effective 2019, that tax will be eliminated, which means individuals who do not maintain health insurance coverage will no longer be penalized.
This change to the individual coverage requirement will not affect the availability of health care coverage options through the ACA Health Insurance Marketplace (www.healthcare.gov). Individuals will still have the ability to purchase coverage through the Marketplace and premium subsidies for that coverage will remain available to qualifying individuals.
As a reminder, CRC pays the majority of the cost for the health care coverage we offer to eligible employees. It’s also important to note that, because you are eligible for coverage through CRC, you may not qualify for premium subsidies if you choose to purchase a plan through the Marketplace. We encourage you to evaluate all your coverage options and compare their costs to make the best choice for you and your family.
