MyChoice Open Access Plans … Freedom To Choose The key to maximizing your and your family’s health benefits is having the freedom to choose a physician or specialist, when needed. MyChoice Health Coverage gives you that freedom with open-access plans with a rich level of benefits that include:

• Comprehensive copayments — all services provided in your physician’s office are covered with one low copayment • Mandated preventive services with no copayment • Specialist office visits with no referral needed • Urgent and emergency care • Prescription drug coverage o Value generics* — $8 copayment on any generic drug up to $14.99 o Generic — $15 copayment on any generic drug $15 or higher o $35 brand-name drug o $55 non-preferred brand * Value generic drugs are the lowest-cost generic drugs on the market and also include over-the-counter (OTC) drugs currently covered by prescription • Vision care — free annual exam from Physicians Eyecare Network (PEN) Provider. PEN is an independent company that offers a network of vision care providers on behalf of BlueChoice • Dental care — member reimbursed for the allowed amount • Mental health and substance abuse treatment • Physical, speech and occupational therapy • Durable medical equipment • Hospital services (inpatient and outpatient) • First Sun Individual Assistance Program. Because First Sun is a separate company from BlueChoice HealthPlan, First Sun will be responsible for all services related to the Individual Assistance Program.

As a MyChoice Health Coverage member, you have the freedom to go in or out of network. You can also self-refer to a specialist. Staying in network saves you money and offers advantages such as administrative ease and coverage for preventive care services. Going out of network can mean higher deductibles and coinsurance, and you might have to file some of your own claims. Some benefits, such as routine health screenings, are not covered. For emergency care, members receive in-network benefits regardless of where services are rendered. BlueChoice® HealthPlan is a member of the BlueCard® program. When traveling across the country or around the world, you get the highest level of benefits when you get services from a BlueCard provider. Use our Doctor and Hospital Finder anytime to find a provider near you.

Calculating Family Rates — To calculate the family rates for MyChoice, simply add the individual rate for each member of the family. Here are some examples:

Individual Policy Family Policy Male 36 Male 42/Female 39 $1,000 80/60 Plan $1,500 80/60 Family Plan Deductible $309.90 $410.99 – Male Rate + $507.73 – Female Rate $918.72 – Total Family Rate

Family Policy Male 28/Female 29/Child 3 $6,000 HDHP Family Plan Deductible $135.01 – Male Family Rate +$202.37 – Female Family Rate +$136.16 – Child Family Rate $473.54 – Total Family Rate

How the Family Deductible Works When you purchase a family policy, the family deductible is an aggregate deductible for all family members who are on the coverage. For example, if a family of three has a $3,000 80/60 MyChoice Open Access Plan, the family deductible is $3,000. One, two or all three family members can contribute to that deductible amount during the one-year benefit period in any dollar amount for each person until that $3,000 deductible amount is reached.

Conditions Subject to a Six-Month Waiting Period:

Pre-existing Condition Exclusion

• A period of 12 months without medical care, treatment or supplies related to the pre-existing condition ending after the effective date of coverage • 12 months after the effective date of coverage
