OPEN ENROLLMENT GUIDE

2014 OPEN ENROLLMENT OCTOBER 14 – NOVEMBER 2, 2013 It’s time to elect your 2014 benefits! Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to learn about our benefit options and choose the plans that are best for you. Ingredion’s goal is to provide benefits that are valuable, competitive and designed to maximize the coverage you receive in exchange for your share of the cost. We also want to encourage you to take an active role in managing your health and how you use health care services. If you wish to keep your benefit choices from 2013, you do not need to re-enroll for 2014 — your current medical, health savings account, dental, life and accident insurance will continue for 2014 based on your current elections. However, if you would like to enroll in a Health Care or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) in 2014, you will have to make an active election for that benefit.

Partners in Value At Ingredion, we do all we can to mitigate the effect of rising health care costs. We look at the design of our benefit programs, the providers we work with and the role you can play in keeping our plans affordable. We’re asking you to partner with us to control costs by learning about your coverage and how to use it most effectively. Ingredion provides you with a number of tools and resources, but it’s up to you to stay informed, make the right choices and then make the most of the benefits you have. Choose well, use well and be well!

This document summarizes key features of the Ingredion Incorporated benefits program. If there is a discrepancy between this booklet, the Summary Plan Descriptions, or the plan documents, the plan documents will govern in all cases. Ingredion reserves the right to change any of the plans at any time for any reason or terminate the plans at any time in the future. 2

Medical Coverage Ingredion provides medical benefits designed to help you and your family stay healthy and have access to care when you need it. You have two medical plan options available through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois. They are the: • Health Reimbursement Plan (HRP) • Health Savings Plan (HSP) Both plans: • Pay 100% of the cost of in-network preventive care • Require you to pay non-preventive health care costs at 100% until you reach your deductible • Provide you with an account – with contributions from Ingredion – to help you pay for medical expenses throughout the year • Have an out-of-pocket maximum to protect you from medical financial hardships • Are a part of the Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO Network

Your Medical Plans At A Glance

Both medical plan options cover your basic needs and pay for in-network preventive care, such as your annual physical or immunizations, at 100%. Other features of the plans differ, such as annual deductibles and out-ofpocket maximums. Let’s look at these features now:

Terms to Know Whether you choose medical coverage from the HRP or HSP, each has an annual deductible, coinsurance and an out-of-pocket maximum. So how do these work? ANNUAL DEDUCTIBLE You pay 100% of your health care expenses each year up to a set amount called your annual deductible. Your medical plan account, including Ingredion’ contributions, can help you pay expenses until you reach your annual deductible. COINSURANCE After you reach the annual deductible, you and Ingredion share the cost of your care. This cost-sharing is called coinsurance. Generally, you pay 20% and Ingredion pays 80% of eligible in-network expenses. The funds in your medical plan account can also help you pay your coinsurance. OUT-OF-POCKET MAXIMUM Your out-of-pocket maximum is the most you will pay in a year for eligible medical expenses and protects you from financial hardships due to medical costs. Your deductible and coinsurance (but not HRP drug copays) count toward your out-of-pocket maximum. After you reach this amount, Ingredion pays for 100% of eligible medical expenses for the rest of the year.

OUT-OF-POCKET MAXIMUM COINSURANCE You share the cost of these expenses with Ingredion. You can use HRA, HSA or FSA funds for your share. DEDUCTIBLE You pay until you reach the deductible. You can use HRA, HSA or FSA funds for these expenses.

Important Note about the HSP and Prescription Drugs...

Prescription Drug Coverage When you enroll in either of the Ingredion medical plan options, you automatically receive prescription drug coverage through Express Scripts. You can choose to have prescriptions filled either at a participating retail pharmacy or through mail order for 90-day supplies. You can save money if you choose to fill your 90-day prescription through mail order. The amount you pay for a prescription depends on the medication’s classification – generic, formulary or non-formulary. The table below explains these classifications:

If you choose the HSP for 2014, your non-preventive prescription drugs will be subject to your annual deductible. This means you will need to pay the cost for all non-preventive prescription drugs up front or with the funds in your HSP account until you reach your deductible. After you meet your deductible, coinsurance begins.

PRESCRIPTION DRUG TIERS Tier

Description

Generic

Generic drugs have the same active ingredients as their brand name equivalents and must meet the same federal standards for safety. Because they are no longer on patent, they are generally less expensive. Using generics helps keep your costs down

Formulary

Brand name prescription medications preferred by a pharmacy manager like Express Scripts. Drugs in this classification are chosen to provide a safe, effective and affordable alternative to higher priced non-formulary drugs.

Non-formulary

Brand name prescription medications that are not on a pharmacy manager’s preferred drug list (or formulary). They are covered, but you pay a higher price.

Because we all should be focused on preventing disease, preventive prescription drugs are not subject to the deductible. The list of preventive drugs can be found at www.PartnersInValueBenefits.com. The chart below compares the HRP and HSP prescription drug benefits:

Note: A drug’s classification can change during the plan period. You can check a drug’s classification by calling Express Scripts or checking on their website, www.express-scripts.com.

How to Get Started with Mail-Order Prescriptions... Filling a mail-order prescription can save you time and money. Follow these steps to make the transition to mail order: STEP 1: Ask your doctor to write your prescription for a 90-day supply of your medication. STEP 2: Submit your prescription to Express Scripts online at www.express-scripts.com, by phone at 1-866-877-8492 or by mail along with the mail-order claim form.

DENTAL COVERAGE Dental care is important to your overall health and well-being. Ingredion offers a preferred provider dental plan through MetLife. As with the medical plan, in-network preventive care, such as regular teeth cleanings, is covered 100%. For other services, you pay for the cost until you reach your deductible and cost-sharing begins. Your dental coverage also includes basic and major dental care services, as well as an orthodontia benefit for your eligible dependents. The chart at right highlights benefits provided in the dental plan. The coinsurance levels refer to in-network providers based on allowed services. If you use a dentist who is not in-network, the plan pays the coinsurance level based on “reasonable and customary” (R&C) rates. You will be responsible for paying the balance.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS Ingredion offers two flexible spending accounts, or FSAs, through Flex-Plan to help you budget for eligible expenses. These include: • Health Care FSA • Dependent Care FSA Flex-Plan offers a convenient debit card for the Health Care FSA that allows you to pay for expenses at pointof-service instead of submitting a claim form and waiting for reimbursement. When you enroll in an FSA, you can set aside pre-tax money from your paycheck to pay for eligible expenses. You are eligible to participate in both the health care FSA and the dependent care FSA only if you enroll in the HRP medical option or if you waive medical coverage. If you elect to participate in the HSP, you may not participate in a health care FSA, but you can participate in a dependent care FSA. The following chart highlights eligible expenses you can pay for with your FSA:

FSA AT A GLANCE HEALTH CARE FSA

DEPENDENT CARE FSA

You are eligible if:

You are not enrolled in the Health Savings Plan (HSP)

You have an eligible dependent per IRS regulations

You can contribute:

$100 – $2,500 per year

$100 – $5,000 per year (total combined limit if you and your spouse contribute to a dependent care FSA)

To pay for:

Eligible expenses such as: • Medical copays, deductibles and coinsurance for services covered by the medical plan • Prescription drug copays and coinsurance for drugs covered by the medical plan • Dental and orthodontic care • Other eligible health care expenses not covered by the medical plan

Eligible expenses such as: • Nursery school, before- and afterschool care, or summer day camp for your children under age 13 • Adult day care facility, senior center or elder care center

Note: Please refer to the IRS website www.irs.ustreas.gov for information on eligible expenses.

Estimate Your Expenses Carefully The money you put into an FSA does not roll over from year to year. That means you must incur eligible expenses by December 31, 2014 or you will forfeit any money left in the account. For this reason, make sure to carefully choose how much money you expect to spend on health care and dependent care expenses for the year.

FSA Pre-tax Advantage You can save money when you enroll in an FSA. The money you contribute to your account is not taxed and it’s tax free when you pay for eligible expenses.

Don’t miss your chance! You must enroll for FSA’s during the annual Open Enrollment period or you will not have an account for 2014. Back to Table of Contents
