Memo

To: Our Employees

From: Mike Trebino and Joe Hill

Date: July 1, 2014

Re: Medical Insurance Renewal

August is the renewal of our Health Insurance. As always, we are getting a rate increase from Horizon Blue Cross. After a complete study, we have determined that staying with Horizon and making no changes, will be best for both Pine Belt and employees. Our corporate goals continue to be: Control our cost Help control your cost Provide an outstanding benefit level which protects you from financial hardship

in the face of serious illness We are getting a sizeable rate increase, and we must pass some of the cost to employees.

This year’s plans will be identical to last year. We will continue to buy the most cost effective plans we can and fill in any gaps they may have so we can deliver a great medical plan to you and control our cost and your cost at the same time. Our medical plans continue to be among the best offered by any employer in New Jersey. This comes at a time when so many employers are significantly reducing medical benefits in an effort to control cost. New employees are eligible on the first day of the month following 60 days of full time employment. Jon Nistad, owner of National HR, will be conducting meetings on July 8. He will also be available at his cell phone (609-790-9084) in the evening and over weekends. Do not be bashful. Call or e-mail with questions. The purpose of this memo is to give you advance notice and enable you to compile a list of the prescriptions you use. You will be able to send this list to Jon at

Pine Belt Auto 2014-2015 Page 2

Page 3: Pine belt employee booklet 2014 2015

[email protected], and he will get right back to you with a spreadsheet which will show two things: What you would spend at the pharmacy under each prescription option Your share of the premium for each option

With this information, you will be able to make the best plan choice. If you are not taking any prescriptions on a maintenance basis (those you must take all the time, like blood pressure medicine), the lower priced plan may be attractive to you.

MEDICAL Blue Cross has attached the name EPO, for Exclusive Provider Organization, to our plans. An EPO is a hybrid between a PPO and a POS plan. The main provisions of both plans are: No referrals to see specialists A lower co-pay for primary physicians than for specialists Blue Card benefits, which means that you can access Blue Cross network

providers all over the country. No non-network care.

We continue with EPO Options 3 and 4 this year. The details of Option 3 are: $20 co-pay for primary physician and $40 co-pay for specialists 100% lab benefit as long as you use Labcorp 100% X-ray, MRI, CT scan, and other radiology as long as you use a private

radiology office, not the hospital out-patient department $1500 Deductible and 30% co-insurance for hospital in-patient, surgery,

certain hospital out-patient services, diabetic supplies, ambulance, home health, skilled nursing facility and hospice, up to the out of pocket maximum of $4000 ($8000 family maximum per family, even if there are more than 2 people with claims) for any individual in a calendar year.

Pine Belt will be reimbursing you for most of these deductible and co-insurance expenses you may incur. Therefore, you will have a benefit of 100% for these expenses.

The details of EPO 4 are: $30 co-pay for primary physician and $50 co-pay for specialists. This is slightly

higher than Option 3. 100% lab benefit as long as you use Labcorp 100% X-ray, MRI, CT scan, and other radiology as long as you use a private

radiology office, not the hospital out-patient department $2500 Deductible and 50% co-insurance for hospital in-patient, surgery,

certain hospital out-patient services, diabetic supplies, ambulance, home health, skilled nursing facility and hospice, up to the out of pocket maximum of $5000 ($10,000 family maximum per family, even if there are more than 2 people with claims) for any individual in a calendar year.

Pine Belt Auto 2014-2015 Page 3

Page 4: Pine belt employee booklet 2014 2015

Pine Belt will be reimbursing you for most of these deductible and co-insurance expenses you may incur. Therefore, you will have a benefit of 100% for these expenses.

Except for a small difference in the physician co-pay, the medical portion of the plans are virtually identical. EPO 4 has a lower premium for you because the prescription benefit is different.

The only deductible and co-insurance expenses we will not reimburse are those which you could have obtained from a non hospital provider for just a co-pay. Examples of these expenses are:

Use of a physical therapist like Nova Care, which is now owned by a hospital system, but still has its own offices.

Getting care in the hospital out-patient department when a free standing provider could be used. For example, scheduled radiology tests like X-rays, CT Scans and MRIs. Go to the radiology facility, not the hospital.

Also, please note the obvious. The only expenses we reimburse are those considered eligible by Horizon, but not 'paid' because of the deductible or co-insurance. Any expense rejected by Horizon is not paid by us.

Once we add the Pine Belt supplement to what Horizon pays, both plans will have 100% benefits for hospital, surgery, and the other items shown above. But it gets even better. The plans’ out-of- pocket limits can benefit you. EPO 3 is $4000 and EPO 4 is $5000 in a calendar year. These limits include your medical co-pays (but not prescription co-pays), deductibles and co-insurance. If Pine Belt were to pay up to the maximum out of pocket for a hospital stay, you will then be reimbursed by Horizon for all the co-pays you would normally have from that point on until the end of the year. This means that your maximum out-of-pocket cost could be very low even in the face of a serious and expensive illness.

PRESCRIPTION The other main difference between the plans is the prescription co-pay. One has dollar amount co-pays. The other is a hybrid with both dollar and percentage co-pays. The plan attached to EPO 3 has a $50 calendar year deductible and co-pays

of $20 Generic, $40 Brand, and $60 Non Formulary. You can obtain a 90 day supply at the pharmacy or mail order for two co-pays. The prescription must specify 90 days.

The hybrid plan attached to EPO 4 is lower priced, but may be better at the same time. It depends on the drugs you take.

This plan also has a $50 annual deductible. After the deductible, Generic drugs have a $10 co-pay for a 30 day supply and $25 for a 90 day supply.

You pay 20% instead of a dollar amount co-pay for Brand drugs, and 30% for Non Formulary drugs. For Brand drugs, the minimum you must pay is $35

Pine Belt Auto 2014-2015 Page 4

Page 5: Pine belt employee booklet 2014 2015

($90 for a 90 day supply) if the drug costs that much. If the total cost of the drug is less than the minimum co-pay, you only pay the actual wholesale cost. Your 20% share is limited to $150 for any one 30 day prescription ($300 for a 90 day prescription).

You pay 30% for Non Formulary drugs. The minimum co-pay is $70 ($175 for a 90 day supply) if the drug costs that much. If not, you only pay the actual wholesale cost. Your 30% share is limited to $300 for any one prescription ($450 for a 90 day prescription).

This plan is not for everyone. However, the cost of this plan is lower than the other plan. Your prescription cost may be slightly better at the pharmacy even though the premium is lower. It depends on the wholesale cost of the drug. If your drug use is low or non existent, or if you are taking generic drugs, you can save. Send your drug list to NationalHR so they can help you select the plan which best meets your needs. They need your family status on the plan (Single, Parent-Child, Husband-Wife, or Family), the exact name of each drug, the exact dosage and the frequency you take it. A form has been created for your use. Each employee must complete a benefit election form. It will specify if you want to participate in our medical plan, and if so, record your family status and plan choice. We need these forms back by July 9.

HOW TO OBTAIN YOUR REIMBURSEMENT

NationalHR will process reimbursements for us. The work will be confidential between you and NationalHR. When you incur a hospital, surgery or other expense, Horizon will send you and your provider an Explanation of Benefits Form (EOB). See below. This form shows both the retail charge and the discounted network price between the provider and Horizon, the amount of any deductible charged, your share of co-insurance, and finally, your responsibility. NationalHR needs the EOB to process your claim. Fax to 856-810-

8484 or scan and e-mail to [email protected]

Attach the EOB to the NationalHR cover sheet which is in each office.

NationalHR will pay you and you will pay the provider when you receive a subsequent bill for the balance due.

Pine Belt Auto 2014-2015 Page 5

Page 6: Pine belt employee booklet 2014 2015

Notice the "PATIENT RESPONSIBILITY" on the right of the EOB. This is the amount which is your potential cost after Horizon applies its provider discounts and pays the claim, and is the amount that the employer reimbursement is based

on. It is critical that NationalHR gets this form in order to reimburse you.

Examples include a Physical Therapist owned and billed by a hospital or getting a planned x-ray at the hospital when you could have gone to a private radiology office.

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

NationalHR dedicated service NationalHR has a dedicated team to help us with any service issues which may cone up. We encourage you to call NationalHR instead of the insurance company. You will get prompt courteous and professional service. Whether you have a question about a benefit, need materials, have a claim which is not yet paid properly, or need advocacy with respect to the benefits, you can call on a NationalHR team member. Leann D'Amico, 856-810-0700, [email protected] Jon Nistad, 856-810-0700, cell 609-790-9084, [email protected] Don’t call the insurance company only to wait on hold. Our friendly staff will do it for you and get back to you promptly. Think ahead and give yourself lead time whenever possible. Problems are easier to prevent than to solve. Know your responsibilities. You can prevent many problems by knowing what you have to do. Here are the areas in which most difficulties arise.

Pre-certification. Know which services need it. Give yourself lead time. Referrals: The Horizon Blue Cross EPO plans do not require referrals. Network: Your plans use the Horizon Managed Care Network in New Jersey, and

the National Blue Card PPO Network in the rest of the country. Laboratory: You must use Labcorp. Prescriptions: Know which drugs require pre-certification or can only be obtained

from the insurance company’s special pharmacy. Think ahead. Pre-existing Condition Restrictions: If you have been continuously covered, by

law there can be no restriction as you switch plans. Make sure you always have coverage.

New Dependents: Make sure you actively enroll new dependents within 30 days. College Students: Student verification has become a thing of the past as a result

of the new Age 26 dependent eligibility under the new insurance law. Dependent Children Eligibility: Know ahead of time if they are eligible.

Pine Belt Auto 2014-2015 Page 10

Page 11: Pine belt employee booklet 2014 2015

Here are some of the particulars about your plans: You are eligible on the 1st of the month following 60 days of full time service. You have the choice of two medical plans and two dental plans. You must

choose as of August 1, and your choice remains until the following August 1. Late entrants can be subject to additional waiting periods and pre-existing

condition limitations. Ask NationalHR for more information if this applies to you. Medical and FSA dependents are covered to age 26. In New Jersey, coverage

can also be extended to age 30. The dependent gets a separate bill. See www.state.nj.us/dobi/division_consumers/du31.html for clarification.

Pine Belt reimburses you for certain deductible and co-insurance expenses, but not those incurred when you could have obtained care at a location other than a hospital and avoided the deductible completely.

Do not pay the balance due on ambulance charges without checking with NationalHR. We have seen many instances of incorrect billing.

You can download forms at www.nationalhr.com

o Enrollment forms which can be completed on your computer screen

o FSA calculator which can help you select the right FSA contribution

o Rx Estimator input form. Send to us so we can help you pick the right plan.

The Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) has mandated the following:

o Preventive care services are covered 100%.

o Lifetime limits on medical plans are eliminated. Benefit maximums are unlimited.

You can elect COBRA continuation of medical and dental coverage.

If you cannot afford coverage, you may be able to get assistance from the government. Go to www.dol.gov/ebsa for more information.

If you are over 65 or have a dependent who is disabled and on Medicare, you must have ‘creditable’ drug coverage in order to avoid paying a premium surcharge at some point in the future if you purchase a Part D Medicare Drug Plan. Our plans are currently all ‘creditable’. Anyone in this position will receive a special notice each year from us.

Pre-Existing Conditions The plan includes a “pre-existing conditions” limitation. A “pre-existing condition” is an illness or injury for

which medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment was received during the six month period immediately prior

to a covered person’s enrollment date. If this limitation applies, no benefits will be paid for charges incurred

for the covered person’s pre-existing condition until 12 months after the enrollment date. But this limitation

does not apply to: pregnancy; any individual or enrollee age 19 and under; genetic information, in the absence

of a diagnosis of the condition related to that information; or a newborn child’s birth defect. Other exceptions

may also apply. Even if the limitation applies, the 12 month period may be reduced by the time during which

a person was covered under certain other healthcare coverage (Creditable Coverage) that was continuously in

force up to a date not more than 63 days prior to the enrollment date.

Prior Authorization Some services/procedures require prior authorization. For a complete list, contact our customer service

number at 1-800-355-BLUE (2583) or refer to our website at www.HorizonBlue.com.

Prescription Drug Program

The Prescription Drug Program covers FDA approved legend drugs. A prescription order from a physician is required for drugs to be eligible. Prescriptions may be refilled within

one year of the original prescription date, when authorized by the physician and permitted by law. Any limitations that apply to an original prescription also apply to the refills.

The Horizon Prescription Formulary is a list of prescription medications developed by an independent Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee comprised of practicing

physicians and pharmacists in New Jersey. The Horizon P&T Committee determines which drugs will be placed into preferred and non-preferred status within our open formulary.

The priority consideration is clinical efficacy and safety, followed by other considerations such as second line therapies, and availability of commonly used and safe generics. At

least two drugs from each therapeutic class are placed in the preferred status on the formulary. Once a quality review has determined that two or more drugs are equal to other

therapeutic alternatives, the P&T Committee may place the most cost effective drug(s) into preferred status.

does not apply to: pregnancy; any individual or enrollee age 18 and under; genetic information, in the absence

of a diagnosis of the condition related to that information; or a newborn child’s birth defect. Other exceptions

force up to a date not more than 63 days prior to the enrollment date.
