NEWBORNS’ AND MOTHERS’ HEALTH PROTECTION ACTThe following is the amended sample notice that a group health plan may use to satisfy the Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act disclosure requirement: Group health plans and health insurance issuers generally may not, under federal law, restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than 48 hours following a vaginal delivery, or less than 96 hours following a cesarean section. However, federal law generally does not prohibit the mother’s or newborn’s attending provider, after consulting with the mother, from discharging the mother or her newborn earlier than 48 hours (or 96 hours as applicable). In any case, plans and issuers may not, under federal law, require that a provider obtain authorization from the plan or the issuer for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours (or 96 hours).

NOTICE OF SPECIAL ENROLLMENT RIGHTS FOR MEDICAL/HEALTH PLAN COVERAGEOur records indicate that you are potentially eligible to participate in our Group Health Plan (the “Plan”). A federal law called HIPAA requires that we notify you about a very important provision in the Plan. The provision is your right to enroll in the Plan under its “special enrollment provision” if you acquire a new dependent, or if you decline coverage under this Plan for yourself or an eligible dependent while other coverage is in effect and later lose that other coverage for certain qualifying reasons.

Special Enrollment ProvisionLoss of Other Coverage (Excluding Medicaid or a State Children’s Health Insurance Program). 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 your or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after your or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage).

Loss of Coverage For Medicaid or a State Children’s Health Insurance Program. 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 your or your dependents’ coverage ends under Medicaid or a state children’s health insurance program.

New Dependent by Marriage, Birth, Adoption, or Placement for Adoption. 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 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption.

Eligibility for Medicaid or a State Children’s Health Insurance Program. 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.

MEDICARE PART DIf you (and/or your dependents) have Medicare or will become eligible for Medicare in the next 12 months, a federal law gives you more choices about your prescription drug coverage. A copy of the notice is available upon request in the Human Resources Department.

HEALTH INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT (HIPAA)Pediatric Associates, in accordance with HIPAA, protects your Protected Health Information (PHI). Pediatric Associates will only discuss your PHI with medical providers and third party administrators when necessary to administer the plan that provides your health and welfare benefits or as mandated by law. A copy of the Notice of Privacy Practices is available upon request in the Human Resources Department.

WOMEN’S HEALTH AND CANCER RIGHTS ANNUAL NOTICEThe Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (“WHCRA”) requires us to notify participants and beneficiaries of our Group Health Plan (the “Plan”), of their rights to mastectomy benefits under the Plan. Participants and beneficiaries have rights to coverage to be provided in a manner determined in consultation with the attending Physician for:• All stages of reconstruction of the breast on

which the mastectomy was performed; • Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast

to produce a symmetrical appearance; • Prostheses and treatment of physical

complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedema.

These benefits are subject to the same deductible and copayments applicable to other medical and surgical benefits provided under this Plan. For further details, please refer to the Plan’s Summary Plan Description.

MICHELLE’S LAW NOTICEIf you live in certain states, our plan may extend medical coverage for dependent children if they lose eligibility for coverage because of a medically necessary leave of absence from school. Coverage may continue for up to a year, unless your child’s eligibility would end earlier for another reason.

Extended coverage is available if a child’s leave of absence from school — or change in school enrollment status (for example, switching from full-time to part-time status) — starts while the child has a serious illness or injury, is medically necessary and otherwise causes eligibility for student coverage under the plan to end. Written certification from the child’s physician stating that the child suffers from a serious illness or injury and the leave of absence is medically necessary may be required.

If your child will lose eligibility for coverage because of a medically necessary leave of absence from school and you want his or her coverage to be extended, contact Human Resources as soon as the need for the leave is recognized. In addition, contact your child’s health plan to see if any state laws requiring extended coverage may apply to his or her benefits.

CONTINUATION REQUIRED BY FEDERAL LAW FOR YOU AND YOUR DEPENDENTSThe Continuation Required by Federal Law does not apply to any benefits for loss of life, dismemberment or loss of income.

Federal law enables you or your dependent to continue health insurance if coverage would cease due to a reduction of your work hours or your termination of employment (other than for gross misconduct). Federal law also enables your dependents to continue health insurance if their coverage ceases due to your death, divorce or legal separation, or with respect to a dependent child, failure to continue to qualify as a dependent. Continuation must be elected in accordance with the rules of your employer’s group health plan(s) and is subject to federal law, regulations and interpretations.

NOTICE REGARDING WELLNESS PROGRAMSPediatric Associates’ Wellness Program is a voluntary wellness program available to all employees. The program is administered according to federal rules permitting employer-sponsored wellness programs that seek to improve employee health or prevent disease, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as applicable, among others. If you choose to participate in the wellness program you will be asked to complete a voluntary health risk assessment or “HRA” that asks a series of questions about your health-related activities and behaviors and whether you have or had certain medical conditions (e.g., cancer, diabetes, or heart disease). You will also be asked to complete a biometric screening, which will include a blood test for blood glucose and cholesterol. You are not required to complete the HRA or to participate in the blood test or other medical examinations.

However, employees who choose to participate in the wellness program will receive an incentive of Medical Expense Credit program eligibility for participation. Although you are not required to complete the HRA or participate in the biometric screening, only employees who do so will receive access to the Medical Expense Credit program.

Additional incentives of up to $600 via medical premium discount may be available for employees who achieve certain health outcomes, such as a BMI of less than 30 or a demonstrated 2 point improvement in BMI from the previous year’s health screening. If you are unable to participate in any of the health-related activities or achieve any of the health outcomes required to earn an incentive, you may be entitled to a reasonable accommodation or an alternative standard. You may request a reasonable accommodation or an alternative standard by contacting the Human Resources Department at 954-965-7375.

The information from your HRA and the results from your biometric screening will be used to provide you with information to help you understand your current health and potential risks, and may also be used to offer you services through the wellness program, such as Cigna health coaching programs. You also are encouraged to share your results or concerns with your own doctor.

Protections from Disclosure of Medical InformationWe are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your personally identifiable health information. Although the wellness program and Pediatric Associates may use aggregate information it collects to design a program based on identified health risks in the workplace, Pediatric Associates’ Wellness Program will never disclose any of your personal information either publicly or to the employer, except as necessary to respond to a request from you for a reasonable accommodation needed to participate in the wellness program, or as expressly permitted by law. Medical information that personally identifies you that is provided in connection with the wellness program will not be provided to your supervisors or managers and may never be used to make decisions regarding your employment.

Your health information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or otherwise disclosed except to the extent permitted by law to carry out specific activities related to the wellness program, and you will not be asked or required to waive the confidentiality of your health information as a condition of participating in the wellness program or receiving an incentive. Anyone who receives your information for purposes of providing you services as part of the wellness program will

abide by the same confidentiality requirements. The only individual(s) who will receive your personally identifiable health information is (are) our registered vendor partners such as Cigna and Alliant in order to provide you with services under the wellness program.

In addition, all medical information obtained through the wellness program will be maintained separate from your personnel records, information stored electronically will be encrypted, and no information you provide as part of the wellness program will be used in making any employment decision. Appropriate precautions will be taken to avoid any data breach, and in the event a data breach occurs involving information you provide in connection with the wellness program, we will notify you immediately.

You may not be discriminated against in employment because of the medical information you provide as part of participating in the wellness program, nor may you be subjected to retaliation if you choose not to participate.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this notice, or about protections against discrimination and retaliation, please contact the Human Resources Department at 954-965-7375.

HEALTH INSURANCE MARKETPLACE COVERAGE OPTIONS AND YOUR HEALTH COVERAGEPart A: General InformationWhen key parts of the health care law take effect in 2014, there will be a new way to buy health insurance: the Health Insurance Marketplace. To assist you as you evaluate options for you and your family, this notice provides some basic information about the new Marketplace and employment- based health coverage offered by your employer.

What is the Health Insurance Marketplace?The Marketplace is designed to help you find health insurance that meets your needs and fits your budget. The Marketplace offers “one-stop shopping” to find and compare private health insurance options. You may also be eligible for a new kind of tax credit that lowers your monthly premium right away. Open Enrollment for health insurance coverage through the Marketplace begins in November 2017 for coverage starting as early as January 1, 2018.

Can I Save Money on my Health Insurance Premiums in the Marketplace?You may qualify to save money and lower your monthly premium, but only if your employer does not offer coverage, or offers coverage that doesn’t meet certain standards. The savings on your premium that you’re eligible for depends on your household income.

Does Employer Health Coverage Affect Eligibility for Premium Savings through the Marketplace?Yes. If you have an offer of health coverage from your employer that meets certain standards, you will not be eligible for a tax credit through the Marketplace and may wish to enroll in your employer’s health plan. However, you may be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premium, or a reduction in certain cost-sharing if your employer does not offer coverage to you at all or does not offer coverage that meets certain standards. If the cost of a plan from your employer that would cover you (and not any other members of your family) is more than 9.5% of your household income for the year, or if the coverage your employer provides does not meet the “minimum value” standard set by the Affordable Care Act, you may be eligible for a tax credit.**

Note: If you purchase a health plan through the Marketplace instead of accepting health coverage offered by your employer, then you may lose the employer contribution (if any) to the employer-offered coverage. Also, this employer contribution – as well as your employee contribution to employer-offered coverage – is often excluded from income for Federal and State income tax purposes. Your payments for coverage through the Marketplace are made on an after-tax basis.

How Can I Get More Information?For more information about your coverage offered by your employer, please check your summary plan description or contact Melanie Marques at [email protected] or Beth Gorelick at [email protected]

The Marketplace can help you evaluate your coverage options, including your eligibility for coverage through the Marketplace and its cost. Please visit HealthCare.gov for more information, including an online application for health insurance coverage and contact information for a Health Insurance Marketplace in your area.

Part B: Information About Health Coverage Offered by Your EmployerThis section contains information about any health coverage offered by your employer. If you decide to complete an application for coverage in the Marketplace, you will be asked to provide this information. This information is numbered to correspond to the Marketplace application.

Here is some basic information about health coverage offered by this employer:

As your employer, we offer a health plan to: � Some Employees. Eligible employees are: Full Time Employees (30 plus hours per week)

With respect to dependents: � We do offer coverage. Eligible dependents are: Spouse and/or Child(ren)

� If checked, this coverage meets the minimum value standard, and the cost of this coverage to you is intended to be affordable, based on employee wages.

*Even if your employer intends your coverage to be affordable, you may still be eligible for a premium discount through the Marketplace. The Marketplace will use your household income, along with other factors, to determine whether you may be eligible for a premium discount. If, for example, your wages vary from week to week (perhaps you are an hourly employee or you work on a commission basis), if you are newly employed mid-year, or if you have other income losses, you may still qualify for a premium discount.

MEDICAID AND THE CHILDREN’S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (CHIP)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).

If you live in one of the following states, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. The following list of states is current as of January 31, 2017. Contact your State for more information on eligibility.

To see if any other states have added a premium assistance program since January 31, 2017, or for more information on special enrollment rights, contact either:
