Health Reimbursement Account Exp is offering employees a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) on the high deductible plan option only to help offset the costs associated with out of pocket expenses. The company will be adding an annual contribution of $500 automatically to your HRA on January 1. You can use this money for co-pays, deductibles, or other out of pocket costs associated with qualified medical, dental, or vision expenses. You will receive a debit card to access the money. You are able to earn an additional $500 one time contribution into your HRA fund. Each employee that completes an on-line Health Risk Assessment will be eligible for an additional $500 contribution to the HRA. Spouses and dependents can use Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) funds only if they are enrolled in a health plan that meets the minimum standards of the ACA (either with exp or elsewhere). Spouses and dependents with no proper health insurance coverage will not qualify for HRA use. HRA funds do not roll-over into next plan year. Unused HRA funds will be forfeited at the end of the plan year. If you elect the Healthcare FSA also, your HRA funds will be used first. 11

Health Risk Assessment with As a United Healthcare member, you have access to Rally at no additional charge. The Rally Health Risk Assessment is the first step and provides you with an individual wellness score that measures your overall health, will take about 20 minutes to complete, and includes 50 standard lifestyle questions. The Assessment is confidential, and you only need to complete the Assessment, not achieve a certain score. To start the Health Risk Assessment, you will need to set up an account at www.myuhc.com. w.myuhc.com No need to submit proof upon completion, balances to the HRA will automatically be credited the additional $500 on a monthly basis. 12

Scans and Therapies Scans and Therapies are major diagnostic services such as MRI, CT Scan, PET Scan, MRA and Nuclear Medicine. They are typically performed at a hospital or out-patient center, and sometimes in a doctor’s office. They can cost several hundred dollars or more (if innetwork, more if out-of-network.) Use the Treatment Cost Estimator on myUHC.com to determine what your cost will be. Regardless of where the test is done, the benefits are subject to Deductible, then Coinsurance, even if performed in a doctor’s office (“Covered” does not mean “Paid at 100%.”) ## 13

Saving money on Prescriptions Mail Order Prescription Benefits: You can order a 3 month supply of medicine to be shipped to you for only the cost of 2.5 co-pays. This saves you time and money for medicines you take on a routine basis. Generic Medications: Several pharmacies now offer special prescription programs, including $4 generic drugs and free antibiotics. Generic drugs contain the same active ingredients and are available in the same strength and dosage form as their brandname counterparts but could cost up to 50% less. Ask your physician if they have ‘copay assistance cards’ from manufacturers for the brand name drugs you are taking. These copay cards can offset your cost when used in conjunction with your UHC insurance card! 14

Flexible Spending Account The FSA allows you to put money aside through payroll deductions before taxes are withheld to pay the cost of health care expenses not covered by your medical plan and for the cost of qualified dependent care. By doing so, you reduce your taxable income, which increases your take-home pay. Healthcare FSA – allows you pay for certain IRS-approved medical care expenses not covered under your insurance plan with pre-tax dollars. Please note that the 2017 IRS limit is $2,600 annually. Dependent Care FSA – allows you use pre-tax dollars towards qualified dependent care expenses. Adoption Assistance FSA – provides tax break for adoption expenses. Qualified Transportation Plan – allows you to set aside pre-tax funds to be used for transportation and commuter parking expenses for travel to and from work. 23

Important Information for Flexible Spending Accounts You must make an election to enroll in the 2017 FSA programs, as this benefit will not roll over into the new plan year. If you have any HealthCare FSA funds from 2016 left over, you may roll up to $500 into the 2017 plan year. This will automatically occur for you, no action is needed on your end. Please remember that these accounts have a “use it or lose it” rule, so make sure you use the money in your account by the deadlines. Only $500 can be rolled over from 2016 to 2017. 2017 Maximum Contributions Medical FSA
