BENEFITS BASICS Eligibility For You You are eligible for benefits on the first of the month following one month of service, provided you are in an active payroll status. For the effective dates of coverage, however, please refer to the specific benefit section. If you are eligible for coverage, you can also enroll your eligible dependents for medical, dental, vision, life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment insurance (AD&D). ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES Full–Time Employees who work 72 hours or more each pay period Part–Time Employees who work 8-71 hours each pay period (The term “regular part-time” may be used to refer to part-time employees who work 40-71 hours each pay period) SSP/PRN Employees Employees who work SSP/PRN are eligible to participate in the Medical Plan Only

Your Eligible Dependent(s) Spouse • Your legally married same-sex or opposite-sex spouse • Common-law spouses are eligible for medical coverage as a Domestic Partner

Children • • • •

Your natural children Your stepchildren Legally adopted children (or children legally placed with you for adoption) Foster children (through age 25 if the child was your foster child upon reaching limiting age under the foster child program) • Any child for whom you have legal custody (through age 25 if you had legal custody of the child upon his or her reaching limiting age under the legal guardianship agreement or law) • Your unmarried handicapped child of any age, provided the handicap begins while the child is covered and before reaching the limiting age specified above, and provided the child spends 8 hours or more per day in your home

Domestic Partner • Your same-sex or opposite-sex partner who lives in the same domicile as you (Eligible for medical benefits only and must be approved through the Dependent Eligibility Verification process) • Dependents of domestic partners are not eligible for coverage • You pay 100% of the cost of your domestic partner’s benefits on an after-tax basis

4

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: ACTIONS YOU MUST COMPLETE Dependent Eligibility Verification Ochsner requires verification of eligibility for any dependent newly enrolled for coverage under the medical, dental, vision and dependent life plans. A Proof of Eligibility packet is mailed from Xerox HR Solutions to your home address which explains the process and the information required to prove eligibility. If you fail to provide the required documentation within the timeframe specified in the packet, coverage for your dependents will end as specified in the termination letter. If a dependent is found to be ineligible, you will not receive any refund of premiums or contributions.

Spousal Access Fee Verification If your spouse or domestic partner has the option of obtaining coverage through his or her own employer but you are choosing to enroll your spouse or domestic partner in Ochsner’s medical coverage instead, an additional $37.50 Spousal Access Fee will be deducted from your semi-monthly paycheck on a pre-tax basis. Ochsner requires verification of any spouse/domestic partner you enroll in an Ochsner Medical Plan that has access to medical benefits through his/her own employer. Xerox HR Solutions will mail to your home address a Spousal Surcharge Evaluation Form, which explains the process and the information you must provide in order to waive the spousal access fee.

Other Medical Coverage Affidavit Ochsner requires that employees attest to whether they have other medical coverage. All full-time employees who indicate they do not have other coverage and do not elect medical coverage will be automatically enrolled in the OchPlus 2 medical plan at the employee-only level.

Tobacco Use Affidavit Ochsner requires that employees attest to whether they are tobacco users during benefits enrollment. Your attestation determines whether you pay a tobacco-free or tobacco-user premium. A tobacco test is included in the new hire drug screen. New Hires who test positive for tobacco will be assigned a tobacco-user premium. Ochsner will conduct random tobacco testing during Open Enrollment and annual TB testing throughout the year. Any employee who tests positive for tobacco will be assigned a tobacco-user premium. Failure to submit to testing or abide by the tobacco-free guidelines will be subject to HR Policy on falsification of employment information on Ochweb, Progressive Discipline Policy, OHS.HR 502.

ENROLLMENT You can enroll in your benefits: • Within 31 days of the date you are hired or become newly eligible for benefits. • During the annual open enrollment period held each fall, with your benefit choices becoming effective on January 1 of the following year.

Once you enroll in your benefits, your elections remain in effect through the end of the plan year. You cannot change your benefit elections during the year unless you experience a qualifying change in status as described in the section “Changing your Benefits Coverage Due to a Qualifying Change in Status,” or qualify for a special enrollment period as described in the section “Special Enrollment Period.”

If You Do Not Enroll By the Deadline If you do not enroll in your benefits by the deadline you are given (within 31 days of being hired or becoming newly eligible, or the end of the enrollment period during open enrollment), you will receive limited “default” benefits that may not include all the coverage you want or need.

If You Become Eligible to Enroll or Change Your Benefits Due to a Qualifying Change in Family Status or Status Change If you become eligible to enroll because you have experienced a qualifying change in family status you must fill out a Change of Family Status Form found on Ochweb under Human Resources, HR Forms.

When You Enroll, You Should • • • • •

Paying for Your Benefits Ochsner provides you with the following benefits at no cost to you. • Basic life insurance • Basic AD&D coverage • Short-term disability (STD) – if you are a full-time employee with at least 12 months of service • 60% long-term disability (LTD) – if you are a full-time employee with at least three years of service • Business travel accident insurance – if you are a full-time employee • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)/Work-Life Plan You and Ochsner share in the cost of some benefits. Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts are fully funded by your contributions. Your cost for each plan is available during your online enrollment process or by viewing your specific premium/addendum in your Employee Self Service account. You pay your share of the cost of your benefits with pre-tax dollars for medical, dental, vision, optional life, voluntary AD&D, LTD and flexible spending account and health savings accounts benefits. Paying for your benefits with pre-tax dollars reduces your taxable income, so you pay less in taxes. You pay the cost of dependent life insurance and domestic partner medical coverage on an after-tax basis. Your benefits premiums will be deducted from your pay check 24 times a year. This means you will not have benefits deductions during the months there are three pay periods.

Choosing the Right Benefits Coverage Whether you are enrolling for benefits the first time as a new employee or newly eligible employee, or re-electing your benefits as required for open enrollment, it makes sense to carefully evaluate your benefit needs to make the right choices for you and your family. Here are some questions to consider as you make your benefit choices: • How often do I plan to visit my physician and dentist? What about visits for my covered family members? • Were last year’s plans and coverage levels right for me? How much did I spend out-ofpocket? • Are my needs expected to change during the year? If you are a new employee of Ochsner, do not just try to duplicate the coverage you had with your last employer. Think about your needs and choose the coverage that is right for you and your family based on your current situation and take the best advantage of the benefits opportunities offered to you by Ochsner.

Changing Your Benefits Coverage Due to a Qualifying Change in Status Because you pay for most of your benefits on a pre-tax basis, the IRS does not allow changes to any benefits during the year unless you experience a qualified change in status. You have 31 days from the date of the qualified change in status to change your coverage. The change in coverage must be consistent with the change in status. If the qualifying change in status is not reported appropriately within 31 days, of the event, the change in coverage cannot take place until the next open enrollment period. Your qualifying change in status can be family or job related. During the year, IRS rules permit you to change your benefits for the following reasons: • Legal change in marital status: marriage, divorce or legal annulment • Change in number of dependents: birth or adoption • Dependent child’s loss of eligibility due to age • Significant gain or loss of coverage through your spouse’s (or domestic partner’s) employer • Your spouse’s or domestic partner’s gain or loss of employment • Increase or decrease in hours worked by you, your spouse (or domestic partner), or your eligible dependents that affect your family’s eligibility for benefits • Issuance or cancellation of a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) • You or your spouse going on, or returning from, some type of unpaid leave of absence • Entitlement to Medicare or Medicaid • Death of a spouse, dependent child, or domestic partner Contact the HR Employee Service Center by calling (504) 842-4748 or email [email protected] for further rules regarding qualified changes in status. When submitting a Change of Family Status Form, you must submit a Spousal Access Fee form.

Dual Coverage if Your Spouse and/or Child(ren) are Employed by Ochsner If you and your spouse or domestic partner both work for Ochsner and are in benefits-eligible positions, you may each take employee coverage, or one of you may cover the other as a dependent. You cannot be covered as both an employee and a spouse for the same coverage. Also you may not carry one another on spouse life insurance, and only one of you may cover any eligible dependent children for dependent life insurance coverage. If you have a dependent child under the age of 26 who is a benefits-eligible employee of Ochsner, you may cover him/her as a dependent under your medical, dental and/or vision benefit plans. However, your dependent child may not be covered as a dependent under your child life insurance benefit. Dependent daughters are ineligible for maternity benefits.

Special Enrollment Period In addition to your qualified change in status rights, the IRS has created special enrollment rights that allow you to change your medical coverage within 31 days of the occurrence of one of the following:

If You Acquire a New Dependent If you acquire a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption, you may enroll yourself and your new dependent in one of the OchsnerPlus medical plans. If you are already enrolled in an Ochsner Medical Plan when you acquire a new dependent, you may enroll your dependent in your current option, or enroll yourself and your family members in a different option. In order to take advantage of this right, you must enroll a new dependent within 31 days of the date you acquired the new dependent. If you miss this deadline, you will not be permitted to enroll the dependent until the next open enrollment period. 9

If You or Your Dependent Loses Other Coverage You may decide not to elect medical coverage for yourself and/or your eligible dependents because you or your dependents have other group coverage. If you or your dependents lose that coverage for one of the following reasons, you may enroll yourself and/or your dependents in an OchPlus medical plan within 31 days of the date the other coverage ends: • You and/or your dependents are no longer eligible for other coverage. • Another employer stops making contributions toward the other coverage. • The coverage was provided under a COBRA continuation provision, and the right to that continued coverage has ended. • You and/or your dependents no longer have access to a medical coverage plan service area, and there is no alternative benefit option.

You Qualify for Premium Assistance From Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) If you are eligible for health coverage from your employer, but are unable to afford the premiums, most states have premium assistance programs that can help pay for coverage. These states use funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs to help people who are eligible for employer-sponsored health coverage, but need assistance in paying their health premiums. If you require additional information, please refer to your SPD. Please note that this is only a summary of the rules and legal restrictions regarding changing your benefits elections during the year. If you have a qualifying change in status, please contact the HR Employee Service Center by calling (504) 842-4748 or email [email protected] for more information. Remember, you must notify the HR Employee Service Center within 31 days of your qualifying event in order to change your elections consistent with your status change.

When Coverage Ends Your benefits coverage ends on the earliest of the following dates: • Last day worked at Ochsner Health System • The beginning of the period for which you fail to make the required contributions • The day on which you no longer meet eligibility requirements Coverage for your dependents ends on the earliest of the following dates: • The day your coverage ends • The day on which your dependents no longer meet eligibility requirements

COBRA If your coverage ends, you may be able to continue your medical, dental, vision and Health Care Flexible Spending Account and Pathway to Wellness participation through COBRA. Please refer to your SPD or call the HR Employee Service Center for more information about COBRA coverage. You will also receive Cobra election information from Conexis, Ochsner’s administrator.

Family and Medical Leave Act/Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act You may also be eligible to continue health coverage under the provisions of these acts. Please refer to your SPD or contact the HR Employee Service Center for more information.

Coverage After Retirement If your coverage ends due to retirement at attaining age 55 and you have at least 10 years of service, or at attaining age 65 and you have at least 5 years of service, you may elect to continue your medical and vision coverage, provided you pay the required contributions. Vision and dental coverage alone cannot be elected. 10

MEDICAL Ochsner offers you three comprehensive medical plan options, which include prescription drug coverage. The three options offer employees choices between affordable premiums or out-ofpocket expenses.

Requirement to Have Medical Coverage The Affordable Care Act requires individuals to maintain health insurance coverage. As a health care provider, Ochsner believes all employees should have medical coverage. All fulltime employees who do not elect medical coverage through another source, such as through the plan of your spouse or parent, will be automatically enrolled in OchPlus 2 plan at the employee-only level.

Spousal Access Fee The Spousal Access Fee is a supplemental pre-tax contribution by an Ochsner employee who elects to cover an employed spouse or domestic partner who has access to medical benefits through his or her own employer. The employee covering a spouse or domestic partner will pay an additional $37.50 per pay period unless the spouse or domestic partner is • Not employed • Employed but is not eligible for medical benefits from that employer, or the employer does not offer benefits to employees • Employed by Ochsner Availability of coverage through an exchange or Medicare/Medicaid will NOT be considered “other coverage” for purposes of the Spousal Access Fee. Your timely response to Xerox HR Solutions verification process determines whether you will be assessed the Spousal Access Fee.

Reconstructive Surgery Following Mastectomies If you have had or are going to have a mastectomy, you may be entitled to certain benefits under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA). For individuals receiving mastectomy-related benefits, coverage will be provided in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient 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 • Treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedema These benefits will be provided subject to the same deductibles and coinsurance applicable to other medical and surgical benefits provided under the Ochsner medical plans.

11

SNAPSHOT OF THE MEDICAL PLANS You have a choice of three OchsnerPlus Medical Plans. All plans are comprehensive point-of-service (POS) medical plans that give you the flexibility to use any Ochsner in-network physician or facility to receive the highest level of benefits. In-network wellness care (including appropriate preventive screenings) is covered at 100% with no deductible required.

Consumer Profile

OchPlus 1, 2 and 3 cover the same services, including office visits, inpatient and outpatient care and prescriptions, with different levels of coverage. All options are co-pay plans. OchPlus 1: You generally pay less out of your own pocket when you seek care (in exchange for somewhat higher premiums that you pay for as deductions from your paychecks). You pay $0 deductible before paying co-pays for medical or prescription services. OchPlus 2: You generally pay more out of your own pocket when you seek care (in exchange for lower premiums). You must pay a $750 deductible, even for most in-network care, before the plan begins to pay its share of medical expenses. You pay $0 deductible before paying copays for prescriptions. You will pay slightly more out of your own pocket when you seek care— but in exchange you will pay lower rates for coverage as deductions from your paychecks. With OchPlus 1 and 2, you can use the Health Care Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA) to help pay your deductible, coinsurance and certain other out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. Because you enjoy tax savings when you use the HCFSA, this will help offset these out-of-pocket costs. OchPlus 3: You pay more out of your own pocket when you seek care (in exchange for the lowest premiums). You must pay a high deductible of $3,000 before the plan begins to pay for medical or prescription services. With the high deductible plan, you are eligible to contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA) to help pay your deductible, coinsurance and certain other out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. Because you enjoy tax savings when you use the HSA, this will help offset your out-of-pocket costs. 12

More About Deductibles Deductibles are a common feature of many medical plans today. A deductible is the amount you must pay each calendar year before a medical plan begins to pay its share of expenses. Until you meet the deductible, you pay the full cost of a medical expense (aside from any discounts or reductions that apply when you use network providers, etc.). This gives you both the knowledge and incentive to consider alternate forms of treatment, if available, that are effective but less costly, so you can get the greatest value from your health care dollar. Requiring the payment of a deductible reduces a plan’s coverage costs. This means you can generally obtain coverage under a deductible plan at lower rates, meaning smaller deductions from your paycheck.

Individual vs. Family Deductibles: How Do They Work? OchPlus Medical plans have both an “individual” and a “family” deductible. This is how they work together: • Individual deductible: You must meet your individual deductible before the plan begins paying its share of medical expenses. • Family deductible: If you are covering family members, whatever you pay out-of-pocket for each covered individual counts toward both that person’s individual deductible and the family deductible. Once the family deductible is met, through any combination of payments for any covered individuals, the plan begins paying its share of expenses for all covered family members. In other words, you do not necessarily have to pay the individual deductible for each person. Once the family deductible is met, the plan pays benefits as if all the individual deductibles for each covered family member have been met as well.

The Out-of-Pocket Maximum All medical plans have an out-of-pocket maximum, which is a limit on the amount you are required to pay out-of-pocket for covered expenses in a calendar year. Once you reach this maximum, the plan pays 100% of covered expenses for the balance of the year. All medical plans have a three-level out-of-pocket maximum (individual, two covered persons, and family). What does this mean? • If you cover three persons or more, you still need to reach the family out-of-pocket maximum before the plan starts paying 100% for everyone in your family. However, if you cover yourself plus another person only, you only need to reach the two-person out-of-pocket maximum before the plan starts paying 100% for both of you, instead of the higher family maximum. As a result, it is easier for smaller families (two persons) to enjoy the protection of the out-of-pocket maximum.

13

Using the Medical Plan Network All of our medical plans feature the use of a provider network. The plans give you the flexibility to use any physician or facility you choose for most services. But if the provider you choose is not in the network, you will receive out-of-network benefits and pay more out of your pocket. Outof-network benefits are also subject to reasonable and customary limits. Our medical plans have their own “OchsnerPlus Regional Network.” This network is customized and is not the same as Humana’s network. It is important that you check the OchsnerPlus Regional network listing to ensure your provider is a participant. Humana is our medical plan administrator. The list of available providers is accessible at www.Humana.com, by selecting to view the “OchsnerPlus Emp Med Plan” listing when you log in.

Coverage Options You may choose medical coverage for your eligible dependents as well as yourself, in one of the following combinations: • You only • You and your legally married same-sex or opposite-sex spouse • You and one child • You and your children • You and your family • You and your domestic partner • You, your domestic partner, and child(ren) To enroll your dependents in the OchPlus Medical Plan, you must all enroll in the same option.

HumanaBeginnings For members enrolled in the OchsnerPlus medical plan, HumanaBeginnings is a voluntary program for expectant mothers to learn more about their pregnancy, their baby’s development, and how to practice healthy habits during pregnancy. The program increases the level of awareness about pre-term birth and educates women about risk factors, preventative measures and the symptoms of pre-term labor.

Notice Regarding the Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act 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 insurance issuer for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours (or 96 hours).

PREAUTHORIZATION: Utilization Management (UM) Certain services require prior authorization by Humana. All inpatient hospital, extended care facility and hospice admissions require prior authorization as do certain outpatient services such as durable medical equipment, speech therapy and infertility services. Referrals out-of-network by Ochsner physicians require review and authorization by Humana prior to obtaining any services. If you fail to follow the UM procedures, your benefits may be reduced. For complete information on the UM process and services that require prior authorization, please refer to your SPD.

INSURANCE CARDS Once you enroll, your ID cards will be mailed to your home address approximately 10-14 business days following enrollment. Your ID card will include both medical and pharmacy information.

Co-pays in table are for 30 day supply. Employees may request prescription by mail through an Ochsner Pharmacy and Wellness. 90 day supply is available through Ochsner Pharmacy and Wellness, Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, CVS and RightSourceRx. A 90-day supply co-pay is three times the co-pays shown in the table.

Prescriptions must be on the formulary (the plan’s list of covered drugs) to be covered under the plan. You must meet the deductible in OchPlus 3 before copayments apply.

Generic Substitution Unless your physician specifically indicates “Dispense as Written” on the prescription, you must have your prescription filled with generic medications whenever possible. If you choose to receive the brand-name drug when a generic is available, you will pay the difference in cost plus the co-pay.

Smoking Cessation Products The drug plan covers only smoking cessation products/medications requiring a prescription from the physician. If you purchase an over-the-counter product, you will pay the full cost of the item. For prescribed smoking cessation products, the plan pays 100% after the deductible. 20

Prior Authorizations Some prescription drugs may be subject to prior authorization. If authorized, the prescription drug will fall under the corresponding co-payment levels. If a prescription drug is not authorized, the prescription drug will not be covered. To verify if a prescription drug requires prior authorization, call the toll-free customer service phone number on the back of your ID card or contact Humana by calling (800) 601-9372.

Dispensing Limits and Specialty Drugs Some prescription drugs may be subject to dispensing limits. Also, specialty and injectable medications are only covered if obtained through Ochsner Pharmacy and Wellness.

Medicare Part D If you have Medicare or will become eligible for Medicare in the next 12 months, Medicare Part D provides you with more choices regarding your prescription drug coverage. The following notice provides additional information. Important Notice from Ochsner 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 Ochsner 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.

Ochsner has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the OchPlus plan, on average for all plan participants, is 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 through 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-month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan.

21

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 Ochsner coverage will be affected. If you remain covered as an active employee, or dependent, and enroll in a Medicare Part D Plan, the OchPlus plan will continue to be the primary payer and Medicare Part D will be secondary. If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Ochsner coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will not be able to get this coverage back unless you are an active employee and you enroll during open enrollment or because you have experienced a change in status. Please contact the HR Employee Service Center for more information about what happens to your coverage if you enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan.

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 Ochsner 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 19 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 enrollment period to join. For more information about this notice or your current prescription drug coverage, please contact the Employee Service Center by calling (504) 842-4748. 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 Ochsner changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time.

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. For more information about Medicare prescription drug coverage: • Visit www.medicare.gov • Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see 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 online 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). 22

DENTAL Ochsner offers two plans which are administered by Humana: • Comprehensive Dental PPO: The Comprehensive Plan covers preventative, basic and major care, and orthodontia, and includes the option to use a PPO.  You will generally pay less for dental work when you use a dentist who participates in Humana’s Dental PPO network. • Preventive Plus Dental PPO: The difference between the Comprehensive Dental PPO and the Preventive Plus Plan is that the Preventive Plus plan only covers preventative, diagnostic and basic services.  You will also generally pay less for dental work when you use a dentist who participates in Humana’s Dental PPO network. The Dental PPO services are subject to the exclusions and limitations listed in the SPD.

Coverage Options You may choose dental coverage for you and your eligible dependents, in one of the following combinations: • You only • You and your legally married same-sex or opposite-sex spouse • You and your children • You and your family

Humana Dental PPO Plan The Humana PPO plan provides dental coverage through a “passive” PPO plan. You may choose any dentist and you pay a yearly deductible and a percentage of the cost for covered care other than preventive services. The Humana Dental PPO includes participating and nonparticipating providers. If you select a participating provider, your cost will generally be less than if you select a non-participating provider. You will receive a separate dental ID card if you enroll in either plan option.

Using PPO Dentists The Humana Dental Plans include the option of using Humana’s PPO network. You may choose to use a network or non-network dentist each time you seek treatment. You do not have to receive a referral before seeking specialty treatment. The plan covers the same percentage of covered charges whether you receive care from a network or non-network dentist, as shown in the chart on the next page. However, since network dentists have agreed to limit their charges to Humana’s fee allowance, you will generally pay less in coinsurance (the percentage you pay) if you use a network dentist. Benefits paid for non-network services are based on “reasonable and customary fees.” If your non-network dentist charges more than the reasonable and customary amount, you pay the difference, in addition to your deductible and coinsurance percentage. A list of dentists participating in Humana’s PPO network is available by contacting Humana at (800) 233-4013 or visiting Humana’s website: humanadental.com (when prompted, select the Traditional/Preferred network).

FLEXIBLE SPENDING/HEALTHCARE SAVINGS ACCOUNTS Flexible Spending and Healthcare Savings Accounts are great tools to help you save money. Did you know that you can save anywhere from 10% – 30% on your taxes by utilizing an FSA or HSA? Please visit http://health_fsa_educational_video.bankofamericacdhc.com to learn more about the Bank of America FSA/HSA cost savings tools available. Both are pre-tax deductions. Both plans allow you to pay for eligible medical expenses not covered by your medical, dental or vision plan, incurred by you and your dependents – tax-free. Such expenses are co-pays, deductibles, prescriptions, eye glasses, eye exams, etc. Following are a few critical differences between FSA and HSA plans.

Healthcare Flexible Spending Account FSA

The money in your account can earn interest tax-free

HSA - Eligibility Requirements Since an HSA account is a new offering in 2016, there are a few special eligibility requirements you should be aware of before electing an HSA. You are eligible to open an HSA account only if you elect OchPlus 3 and meet the following requirements: • You are not covered by any other health plan, such as a spouse’s plan • You are not enrolled in Medicare • You do not receive military health care benefits • You cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return • You cannot be covered by a traditional health care FSA or HRA

26

How it Works • Step 1 - Estimate your medical, dental and vision expenses for the upcoming year to decide how much to contribute • Step 2 –Active your HSA/Health FSA Visa Debit card that you will receive in the mail along with an enrollment packet from Bank of America • Step 3 – Set up your Bank of America Online account – this portal gives your 24-hour access for you to check your claims activity, payment history and enter eligible claims for reimbursement • Step 4 – Pay for qualified expenses in three convenient ways – HSA/FSA Visa debit card – most doctors’ offices, hospitals, pharmacies and retail stores accept this card – Provider payments – when you receive an invoice from a health care provider for a qualified expense, you can request your provider be paid directly from your HSA or FSA just like an online bill service program – Reimbursement requests – If you pay for qualified products or expenses out of your own pocket, you can reimburse yourself from funds in your HSA or FSA by electronic or check reimbursement

Documenting Your Eligible Expenses When you enroll in either an HCFSA or HSA, you will need to maintain accurate records of any payments that you make since this is an IRS tax benefit. You do not have to send the receipts in with your tax return, but if you are ever audited, you will need to produce them. Also, with an HCFSA, you may receive a request from Bank of America for a receipt for any charges that do not match our co-pay plans, such as vision, charges, dental charges, etc. An HSA does not require substantiation of claims; however we still recommend that you save all receipts for eligible expense in the event that they are needed for verification.

27

Dependent Child/Elder Care Flexible Spending Account The DCFSA (Dependent Child/Elder Care Flexible Spending Account) allows you to pay for eligible dependent child care and elder care expenses with pre-tax dollars. If you are paying for child care for your child under the age of 13 or care for an elder who is not capable of taking care of himself or herself and lives with you for at least 8 hours a day, this may save you tax dollars. This account is managed separately from the HCFSA with its own rules and procedures. ENROLLING IN THE DCFSA • • • • •

Estimate your child care or elder care expenses for the upcoming year Decide how much to contribute (minimum $240/maximum $5,000 per year, per household) Maximum is $2,500 if you are married and file a separate tax return Pay for your expenses Submit a claim and receive reimbursement using Bank of America’s online portal bankofamerica.com/benefitslogin

How The Plan Works If you choose to participate in this account, you will designate an annual dollar amount that will be deducted over the course of the plan year from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis. These funds will be deposited into your DCFSA. You can contribute a minimum of $240 and up to a maximum of $5,000 per year, per household.

Accessing Your DCFSA You will pay for your eligible expenses to your day care or elder care provider so you (and your spouse) can work (or actively look for work). You must then submit claims and receipts for eligible expenses directly to Bank of America for reimbursement. Claim forms are available on Ochweb under HR Forms or from Bank of America. Reimbursement checks will be mailed directly to your home address, or you may choose to have them direct deposited. Dependent Care FSA reimbursement checks will be processed on a daily basis. This gives you convenient access to your Dependent Care FSA funds. Note that the IRS has expanded the period for which you can incur and submit claims for reimbursement by 2 ½ months. This extra time is called a grace period. For the 2016 plan year, the grace period runs from January 1, 2017, through March 15, 2017 Under the grace period, you can incur eligible dependent care expenses through March 15, 2017, for reimbursement from your 2016 DCFSA.

Dependent Care Eligible Expense Examples: • Expenses related for day care (children under age 13) while parents are at work, such as day camp, private sitter exclusive of immediate family members, or nursery school Overnight camp is not a qualified expense • Expenses for preschool and after school child care. (Expenses/receipts must indicate that they are for day care and not tuition) • Cost of a housekeeper whose primary duties include care of a qualified dependent. • Elder care for defined dependents Please refer to the IRS Publication 503 at www.irs.ustreas.gov for further rules. 28

LIFE AND AD&D About Life Insurance Ochsner provides you with life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) coverage to protect you and your family if you die or become seriously injured. The plans allow you to select the level of insurance you feel is appropriate to provide long-term financial security for your family or other beneficiary. Life and AD&D options provide you with around-the-clock protection both on and off the job. Ochsner provides you with employer paid basic life and basic AD&D insurance at no cost to you, and offers optional coverage for yourself. The company also allows you to purchase life and AD&D for your dependents, such as your spouse and children. Life and AD&D coverage is offered to all full-time and part-time employees working at least 40 hours per pay period.

BENEFICIARIES Regardless of whether you are required to pay for life and AD&D coverage, it is especially important to designate a beneficiary. By naming a beneficiary, you make sure you life insurance benefit is being passed on the way you want.

Employer Paid Basic Life and AD&D Employer paid basic life insurance is term life insurance payable in the event of death. AD&D coverage offers additional coverage if your death is the result of an accident. AD&D also offers you protection if you suffer dismemberment due to an accident, with the benefit payable equal to a percentage of your principal sum, based on the severity of the injury.

EMPLOYER PAID BASIC LIFE & AD&D COVERAGE If you are a full-time or part-time employee working at least 40 hours per pay period, Ochsner provides, at no cost to you, basic life and AD&D coverage in an amount equal to half your annual base pay, rounded up to the next higher $1,000, with a minimum coverage amount of $10,000. Certain classes of employees may have different insurance benefits and should see their addendum for details.

29

Optional Life and AD&D Ochsner also offers you the option of purchasing additional term life and matching AD&D insurance coverage. The plan offers a variety of options that provide different amounts of coverage based on your annual base pay. Base pay is your base earnings excluding overtime, bonuses, shift differentials, premiums and special compensation. Optional life insurance premiums are paid by you with pre-tax dollars.

Proof of Good Health for You You may choose to purchase optional life insurance for yourself at your initial enrollment when you first become eligible for benefits. If you do not elect the highest option initially, you are given the opportunity each year at open enrollment to increase your coverage one level without having to answer any medical questions. If you choose to increase optional life coverage by more than one level, you will be required to provide evidence of insurability (EOI). You will also be required to submit evidence of insurability if the amount of your employer paid basic and optional life insurance equals $650,000 or more. If evidence of insurability applies, you will receive information from Minnesota Life. Your increased coverage will not go into effect until you receive approval from Minnesota Life. OPTIONAL LIFE OPTIONS • ½ times annual base pay • 1 ½ times annual base pay • 2 ½ times annual base pay • 3 ½ times annual base pay • 4 ½ times annual base pay Optional life coverage is rounded to the next higher multiple of $1,000. The minimum benefit is $10,000 and the maximum benefit is $1,150,000 for employer paid basic and optional life insurance combined.

SPOUSE LIFE INSURANCE COVERAGE LEVELS • $5,000 • $10,000 • $15,000 • $25,000 • $50,000 • $75,000 • $100,000

Spouse Life Ochsner also offers you the option of purchasing life insurance coverage on your spouse. The plan offers a variety of options that provide different amounts of coverage. Spouse life premiums are paid on an after-tax basis.

Proof of Good Health for Your Spouse You may choose to purchase spouse life at your initial enrollment when you first become eligible for benefits. At any subsequent enrollment period, you may choose to increase your spouse’s coverage. Your spouse does not have to provide evidence of insurability unless you increase the amount of your spouse’s coverage by more than one level, or at any time you choose spouse coverage of more than $50,000. If EOI is required, you will receive information from Minnesota Life. Your spouse’s increased coverage will not go in effect until you receive approval from Minnesota Life. Keep in mind that coverage will be delayed for a spouse confined to a hospital on the date any coverage or increase in coverage would become effective, until the date the spouse is no longer confined. Important Notes: • If you and your spouse both work for Ochsner and are both benefits-eligible employees, you may not enroll your spouse as a dependent under spouse life. • You may not elect an amount greater than your own total life amount (employer paid basic life and optional life coverage combined). 30

Child Life Ochsner also offers you the option of purchasing life insurance coverage on your children. The plan offers a variety of options that provide different amounts of coverage. Child life premiums are paid on an after-tax basis. Coverage will be delayed for any dependent confined in a hospital on the date any coverage or increase in coverage would become effective until the date the dependent is no longer confined. Important Note: If you and your spouse both work for Ochsner and are both benefit-eligible employees, only one of you may cover your dependent children under the child life benefit plan. If your child is also a benefits-eligible Ochsner employee, your child may not be considered your dependent. He or she must elect coverage as an employee under his/her own life policies.

CHILD LIFE INSURANCE COVERAGE LEVELS • $2,500 • $5,000 • $10,000

VOLUNTARY AD&D OPTIONS 1) Employee Only or If you elect Employee & Family coverage, your dependents 2) Employee & Familywill receive a percentage of the amount of coverage you choose as follows: Coverage Options Spouse: 50% of coverage amount • $ 100,000 Child(ren): 15% of coverage amount • $ 200,000 • $ 300,000 • $ 400,000 • $ 500,000

Voluntary AD&D Ochsner offers you the option to purchase additional AD&D coverage on yourself and your dependents. AD&D offers you protection if you suffer dismemberment due to an accident, with the benefit payable equal to a percentage of your principal sum, based on the severity of the injury. You may not elect an amount greater than 10 times your annual salary.

Business Travel Accident (BTA) Business travel accident coverage provides extra protection if you die or sustain certain types of injuries in an accident while you are traveling on Ochsner business. Ochsner provides full-time employees with business travel accident coverage at no cost. While part-time employees are not eligible, full-time employees are automatically enrolled in this benefit. The amount of your coverage is $75,000. Additional coverage is provided for certain individuals who travel aboard aircraft operated by Ochsner for the purpose of emergency medical treatment. Please refer to your SPD for further details. BTA death benefits will be paid to the person you have designated as your beneficiary under your Ochsner group life insurance coverage. Certain classes of employees may have different BTA benefits and should see their addenda for details. 31

DISABILITY About Disability Ochsner offers disability income plans which are designed to offer you financial protection when you are sick or injured and unable to work. Certain classes of employees may have different disability benefits and should see their addenda for details.

Short-Term Disability (STD) Short-term disability coverage offers you coverage when you will need to be away from work for a short period of time due to an illness or injury that is not work-related. Ochsner provides STD benefits to full-time employees who have completed 12 months of employment. Coverage begins on the first day of the calendar month following the 12-month waiting period. Part-time employees working at least 20 hours per week or 40 hours per pay period are eligible to enroll in the STD plan by paying the full cost of this coverage. You must be employed at least 12months to become eligible for STD. There is one enrollment period each year for eligible part-time employees to enroll in the plan. Part-time employees meeting their 12-month anniversary between January 1 and December 31 may enroll in the plan during the open enrollment period, for a January 1 effective date. If an employee does not enroll by the end of the enrollment period, coverage may be elected only during the next open enrollment period or following a qualified change in status. Refer to the “General Provisions” section of the SPD for more information.

STD Coverage SHORT-TERM DISABILITY COVERAGE Benefits Begin....................After 14-day waiting period The Plan Pays.....................60% of your weekly base pay* Benefits Continue..............Up to 26 weeks * Weekly base pay means your pay rate times the number of average hours worked over a 26-week period or your budgeted hours, whichever is less, at the time your disability begins. It does not include overtime, shift differential, on-call pay or any other special pay.

You must use your General-Purpose Time (GPT) benefits to receive pay during the STD elimination period/waiting period. By request only to [email protected], you may also use your GPT in combination with your STD benefits to bring your pay up to 100%.

32

Long-Term Disability (LTD) Long-term disability coverage provides you with an income when you need to be away from work for a long period due to an injury or illness. Ochsner offers you three LTD options from which to choose, allowing you to select the level of financial protection that works best for you. Ochsner offers the LTD 60% of pay option to full-time employees who have completed 3 years of employment at no cost. You can still choose to purchase the LTD 66 2/3% option and pay the difference in cost between the two options. If you are a full-time employee with less than three years of service, or a part-time employee working at least 20 hours per week or 40 hours per pay period, you are eligible to enroll in the LTD plan immediately by paying the full cost of this coverage. If you do not enroll within 31 days of the date you become eligible, you can elect to enroll only during the next open enrollment period or due to a change in status, and you will have to provide satisfactory evidence of good health. Your new coverage will not go into effect until you receive approval from Liberty Mutual. PROOF OF GOOD HEALTH You may choose to purchase the highest option of LTD coverage at your initial enrollment when you first become eligible for benefits. If you do not enroll when initially eligible and you later choose to enroll for contributory coverage, you will be required to complete Evidence of Insurability (EOI). Your coverage will go into effect the first of the month following approval from Liberty Mutual.

Pre-existing Conditions The LTD plan will not provide benefits for any disability that occurs within the first 12 months of coverage or an increase in coverage, if you have received any care or treatment for the illness or injury causing the disability within the three months preceding the effective date of coverage or increase in coverage.

PAID TIME OFF General Purpose Time (GPT) Ochsner provides you with General Purpose Time to allow you time off from your everyday work routine. GPT can be used as vacation, to provide time away for illness, funerals, or to take care of personal business. The number of GPT days you earn each year depends on your length of service with Ochsner and your budgeted hours. Full-time and part-time employees working at least 40 hours per pay period begin earning GPT on the first day of work, and may begin using it during the pay period following three months of employment. Certain classes of employees may have different time-off benefits and should see their addenda for details. GENERAL PURPOSE TIME Years Worked

GPT Accrued Per Hour

GPT Accrued Annually

0 – 4 Years 5 – 9 Years 10 –15 Years 15+ Years

0.0693 0.0885 0.1000 0.1077

144 hours – 18 days 184 hours – 23 days 208 hours – 26 days 224 hours – 28 days

Employees accrue GPT each pay period based on years of service. The maximum amount of GPT that can be accrued is 280 hours. At the end of each year a maximum of 240 hours of accrued GPT can be carried into the next year.

Selling GPT Ochsner also offers a GPT sellback program through which you can sell GPT for cash during the year in 40 hour increments. The “GPT Sellback Form” can be found on Ochweb under HR Forms. You must sell back a minimum of 40 hours. You can sell some of your GPT days and receive some of the value of those days as compensation in your paycheck. The following chart shows you how much of your base pay you will receive for your GPT time: SELL BACK SCHEDULE Less than 5 years of service 5 years but less than 10 years of service 10 or more years of service

50% 60% 70%

As you consider the amount to sell, keep in mind that the maximum amount of GPT you may keep in your “bank” is 30 days (240 hours) at the end of a calendar year. Any days in excess of 30 will be forfeited if you do not sell them. When you sell GPT, the money from your sale is subject to income tax withholding and retirement deductions (401(k), 403(b), and catchup plan) when it is paid to you. Since the payout is added to your regular paycheck (either at the end of January or in equal installments during the year, depending on your election), this can result in a higher tax bracket for withholding purposes on that paycheck. If you overpay taxes during the year, you can make an adjustment on your annual income tax return. 35

Philanthropy Donation You may donate your earned GPT at full value to the Philanthropy Division of Ochsner Clinic Foundation during the annual enrollment period, or to a fellow employee who is on FMLA leave, experiencing a serious medical condition or other catastrophic event at any time during the year. Retirement deductions (401(k), 403(b), and catchup plan) and payroll taxes will be deducted from the donation before submission to the Philanthropy Division. When selling GPT or donating to the Philanthropy Division, you must always maintain a minimum balance of 40 hours.

Holiday Pay Ochsner provides full-time employees seven paid holidays each year. You must work your scheduled days before and after a holiday to be paid for that holiday. You are eligible for the seven designated holidays when you start working for Ochsner.

Personal Holiday In addition to the seven paid holidays, full-time employees are also given a “Personal Holiday,” which can be used on a day you select with your leader’s approval. You may take your “Personal Holiday” after completing three months of employment. You must take your Personal Holiday by December 31 or you will lose it. Certain classes of employees may have different Personal Holiday benefits and should see their addenda for details. HOLIDAY SCHEDULE • New Year’s Day • Mardi Gras Day * • Good Friday

• Independence Day • Labor Day • Thanksgiving

• Christmas • Personal Holiday

* In lieu of the Mardi Gras holiday, Baton Rouge employees receive an additional Personal Holiday

Bereavement Pay Full time employees are eligible to receive 3 days (up to 24 hours) of bereavement pay per occurrence for the death of an immediate family member or in-law. You must use GPT if you need additional bereavement time. “Immediate family” includes spouse or domestic partner; natural-born, legally adopted and foster children; mother, father, sister, brother, grandmother, grandfather or grandchildren, “step” relations of these family members, and children where the employee is the legal guardian. “In-law” includes the mother, father, sister, brother, son or daughter of the employee’s current spouse or domestic partner, as well as the current spouse or domestic partner of the employee’s, sister, brother, son or daughter.
