Services received in your home Nothing 50% coinsurance from a physician Covered For benefits and the amounts you pay, see the table in this section. More than one coinsurance may be required if you receive more than one service or see more than one provider per visit. Hospice services are comprehensive palliative medical care and supportive social, emotional, and spiritual services. These services are provided to terminally ill persons and their families, primarily in the patients' homes. A hospice interdisciplinary team, composed of professionals and volunteers, coordinates an individualized plan of care for each patient and family. The goal of hospice care is to make patients as comfortable as possible to enable them to live their final days to the fullest in the comfort of their own homes and with loved ones. Respite care is a form of hospice services that gives your uncompensated primary caregivers (i.e., family members or friends) rest or relief when necessary to maintain a terminally ill ' member at home. Respite care is limited to not more than five consecutive days at a time. Ij • In-network benefits apply to hospice services arranged through a physician and received from a network hospice program. • • Out-of-network benefits apply to hospice services arranged through a physician and received from a non-network hospice program. In addition to the deductible and copayment or coinsurance described for out-of-network benefits, you will be responsible for any charges in excess of the non-network provider reimbursement amount. The out-of-pocket maximum does not apply to these charges. Please see Important member information about out-of-network benefits in How To Access Your Benefits for more information and an example calculation of out-of-pocket costs associated with out-of-network benefits. ; To be eligible for the hospice benefits described in this section, you must: 1. Be a terminally ill patient; and 2. Have chosen a palliative treatment focus (i.e., one that emphasizes comfort and supportive services rather than treatment attempting to cure the disease or condition). You will be considered terminally ill if there is a written medical prognosis by your physician that your life expectancy is six months or less if the terminal illness runs its normal course. This certification must be made not later than two days after the hospice care is initiated. jl Members who elect to receive hospice services do so in place of curative treatment for their terminal illness for the period they are enrolled in the hospice program.

More than one coinsurance may be required if you receive more than one service or see more than one provider per visit. Hospice services are comprehensive palliative medical care and supportive social, emotional, and spiritual services. These services are provided to terminally ill persons and their families, primarily in the patients' homes. A hospice interdisciplinary team, composed of professionals and volunteers, coordinates an individualized plan of care for each patient and family. The goal of hospice care is to make patients as comfortable as possible to enable them to live their final days to the fullest in the comfort of their own homes and with loved ones. Respite care is a form of hospice services that gives your uncompensated primary caregivers (i.e., family members or friends) rest or relief when necessary to maintain a terminally ill member at home. Respite care is limited to not more than five consecutive days at a time. • In-network benefits apply to hospice services arranged through a physician and received from a network hospice program. • Out-of-network benefits apply to hospice services arranged through a physician and received from a non-network hospice program. In addition to the deductible and copayment or coinsurance described for out-of-network benefits, you will be responsible for any charges in excess of the non-network provider reimbursement amount. The out-of-pocket maximum does not apply to these charges. Please see Important member information about out-of-network benefits in How To Access Your Benefits for more information and an example calculation of out-of-pocket costs associated with out-of-network benefits. To be eligible for the hospice benefits described in this section, you must: 1. Be a terminally ill patient; and 2. Have chosen a palliative treatment focus (i.e., one that emphasizes comfort and supportive services rather than treatment attempting to cure the disease or condition). You will be considered terminally ill if there is a written medical prognosis by your physician that your life expectancy is six months or less if the terminal illness runs its normal course. This certification must be made not later than two days after the hospice care is initiated. Members who elect to receive hospice services do so in place of curative treatment for their terminal illness for the period they are enrolled in the hospice program.

Services received in your home Nothing 50% coinsurance from a physician Covered For benefits and the amounts you pay, see the table in this section. More than one coinsurance may be required if you receive more than one service or see more than one provider per visit. Hospice services are comprehensive palliative medical care and supportive social, emotional, and spiritual services. These services are provided to terminally ill persons and their families, primarily in the patients' homes. A hospice interdisciplinary team, composed of professionals and volunteers, coordinates an individualized plan of care for each patient and family. The goal of hospice care is to make patients as comfortable as possible to enable them to live their final days to the fullest in the comfort of their own homes and with loved ones. Respite care is a form of hospice services that gives your uncompensated primary caregivers (i.e., family members or friends) rest or relief when necessary to maintain a terminally ill member at home. Respite care is limited to not more than five consecutive days at a time. • In-network benefits apply to hospice services arranged through a physician and received from a network hospice program. • Out-of-network benefits apply to hospice services arranged through a physician and received from a non-network hospice program. In addition to the deductible and copayment or coinsurance described for out-of-network benefits, you will be responsible for any charges in excess of the non-network provider reimbursement amount. The out-of-pocket maximum does not apply to these charges. Please see Important member information about out-of-network benefits in How To Access Your Benefits for more information and an example calculation of out-of-pocket costs associated with out-of-network benefits. To be eligible for the hospice benefits described in this section, you must: 1. Be a terminally ill patient; and 2. Have chosen a palliative treatment focus (i.e., one that emphasizes comfort and supportive services rather than treatment attempting to cure the disease or condition). You will be considered terminally ill if there is a written medical prognosis by your physician that your life expectancy is six months or less if the terminal illness runs its normal course. This certification must be made not later than two days after the hospice care is initiated. Members who elect to receive hospice services do so in place of curative treatment for their terminal illness for the period they are enrolled in the hospice program.

How Providers Are Paid By Medica This section describes how Medica generally pays providers for health services. See Definitions. These words have specific meanings: coinsurance, deductible, hospital, member, network, non-network, provider. Network providers Network providers are paid using various types of contractual arrangements, which are intended to promote the delivery of health care in a cost efficient and effective manner. These arrangements are not intended to affect your access to health care. These payment methods may include: 1. A fee-for-service method, such as per service or percentage of charges; or 2. A risk-sharing arrangement, such as an amount per day, per stay, per episode, per case, per period of illness, per member, or per service with targeted outcome. The methods by which specific network providers are paid may change from time to time. Methods also vary by network provider. The primary method of payment under Medica Focus is fee-for-service. Fee-for-service payment means that Medica pays the network provider a fee for each service provided. If the payment is per service, the network provider's payment is determined according to a set fee schedule. The amount the network provider receives is the lesser of the fee schedule or what the network provider would have otherwise billed. If the payment is percentage of charges, the network provider's payment is a set percentage of the provider's charge. The amount paid to the network provider, less any applicable coinsurance or deductible, is considered to be payment in full. Risk-sharing payment means that Medica pays the network provider a specific amount for a particular unit of service, such as an amount per day, an amount per stay, an amount per episode, an amount per case, an amount per period of illness, an amount per member, or an amount per service with targeted outcome. If the amount paid is less than the cost of providing or arranging for a member's health services, the network provider may bear some of the shortfall. If the amount paid to the network provider is more than the cost of providing or arranging a member's health services, the network provider may keep some of the excess. Some network providers are authorized to arrange for a member to receive certain health services from other providers. This decision may result in a network provider keeping more or less of the risk-sharing payment. Non-network providers When a service from a non-network provider is covered, the non-network provider is paid a fee for each covered service that is provided. This payment may be less than the charges billed by the non-network provider. If this happens, you are responsible for paying the difference.

Medica's PDL identifies whether a drug is classified by Medica as a Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 covered drug. In general, only drugs on Medica's PDL are eligible for benefits under this certificate. The PDL includes the following tiers: Tier 1 is your lowest coinsurance option. For the lowest out-of-pocket expense, you should consider a Tier 1 covered drug if you and your physician decide it is appropriate for your treatment. Tier 2 is your higher coinsurance option. You may consider a Tier 2 covered drug to treat your condition if you and your physician decide it is appropriate. Tier 3 drugs are not covered unless they meet the requirements under the PDL exception process described in this certificate. If you have questions about Medica's PDL or whether a specific drug is covered (and/or the PDL tier in which the drug may be covered), or if you would like to request a copy of the PDL at no charge, call Customer Service at one of the telephone numbers listed inside the front cover. The PDL is also available when you sign in at www.mymedica.com. Medica utilizes medication request guidelines to determine whether a drug should be considered a covered drug. Medica's medication request guidelines are based on United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, manufacturers' packaging guidelines, and clinical publications. These medication request guidelines, as well as the PDL, are periodically reviewed and modified by Medica. In addition to the medication request guidelines, Medica assigns a tier to each drug based on a review of the drug's cost and effectiveness.

The SPDL also identifies whether a drug is classified by Medica as a Tier 1 or Tier 2 specialty prescription drug. In general, only specialty prescription drugs on Medica's SPDL are eligible for benefits under this certificate. The applicable coinsurance amounts for coverage of drugs on the SPDL are set forth in the benefit table below. If you have questions about Medica's SPDL or whether a specific specialty prescription drug is covered (and/or the SPDL tier in which the drug may be covered), or if you would like to request a copy of the SPDL at no charge, call Customer Service at one of the telephone numbers listed inside the front cover.

How Providers Are Paid By Medica This section describes how Medica generally pays providers for health services. See Definitions These'words have specific meanings coinsurance, deductible, hospital, member, network, non network,<physician, provider. x . _ R Network providers Network providers are paid using various types of contractual arrangements, which are intended to promote the delivery of health care in a cost efficient and effective manner. These arrangements are not intended to affect your access to health care. These payment methods may include: 1. A fee-for-service method, such as per service or percentage of charges; or 2. A risk-sharing arrangement, such as an amount per day, per stay, per episode, per case, per period of illness, per member, or per service with targeted outcome. The methods by which specific network providers are paid may change from time to time. Methods also vary by network provider. The primary method of payment under Medica Focus is fee-for-service. Fee-for-service payment means that Medica pays the network provider a fee for each service provided. If the payment is per service, the network provider's payment is determined according to a set fee schedule. The amount the network provider receives is the lesser of the fee schedule or what the network provider would have otherwise billed. If the payment is percentage of charges, the network provider's payment is a set percentage of the provider's charge. The amount paid to the network provider, less any applicable coinsurance or deductible, is considered to be payment in full. Risk-sharing payment means that Medica pays the network provider a specific amount for a particular unit of service, such as an amount per day, an amount per stay, an amount per episode, an amount per case, an amount per period of illness, an amount per member, or an amount per service with targeted outcome. If the amount paid is less than the cost of providing or arranging for a member's health services, the network provider may bear some of the shortfall. If the amount paid to the network provider is more than the cost of providing or arranging a member's health services, the network provider may keep some of the excess. Some network providers are authorized to arrange for a member to receive certain health services from other providers. This decision may result in a network provider keeping more or less of the risk-sharing payment. Non-network providers When a service from a non-network provider is covered, the non-network provider is paid a fee for each covered service that is provided. This payment may be less than the charges billed by the non-network provider. If this happens, you are responsible for paying the difference.

In that case, the benefits of this plan will be reduced so that they and the benefits payable under the other plans do not total more than those allowable expenses. For non-emergency services received from a non-network provider, and determined to be out-of-network benefits, the following reduction of benefits will apply: When this plan is a secondary plan, this plan will pay the balance of any remaining expenses determined to be eligible under the Contract, according to the out-of-network benefits described in this certificate. Most out-of-network benefits are covered at 50 percent of the non-network provider reimbursement amount, after you pay the applicable deductible amount. In no event will this plan provide duplicate coverage. When the benefits of this plan are reduced as described above, each benefit is reduced in proportion. It is then charged against any applicable benefit limit of this plan. 5. Right to receive and release needed information Certain facts are needed to apply these COB rules. Medica has the right to decide which facts it needs. It may get needed facts from or give them to any other organization or person. Medica need not tell, or get the consent of, any person to do this. Unless applicable federal or state law prevents disclosure of the information without the consent of the patient or the patient's representative, each person claiming benefits under this plan must give Medica any facts it needs to pay the claim. 6. Facility of payment A payment made under another plan may include an amount, which should have been paid under this plan. If it does, Medica may pay that amount to the organization which made that payment. That amount will then be treated as though it were a benefit paid under this plan. Medica will not have to pay that amount again. The term payment made includes providing benefits in the form of services, in which case payment made means reasonable cash value of the benefits provided in the form of services. 7.

If continuation coverage is elected within this period, the coverage will be retroactive to the date coverage would otherwise have been lost. The employee may elect continuation coverage on behalf of other covered dependents, however there is no independent right,of each covered dependent to elect. If the employee does not elect, there is no USERRA continuation available for the spouse or dependent children. In addition, even if the employee does not elect USERRA continuation, the employee has the right to be reinstated under the Contract upon reemployment, subject to the terms and conditions of the Contract. Type of coverage and cost If the employee elects continuation coverage, the employer is required to provide coverage that, as of the time coverage is being provided, is identical to the coverage provided under the Contract to similarly situated employees. The amount charged cannot exceed 102 percent of the cost of the coverage unless the employee's leave of absence is less than 31 days, in which case the employee is not required to pay more than the amount that they would have to pay as an active employee for that coverage. There is a grace period of at least 30 days for the regularly scheduled premium. Duration of USERRA coverage When an employee takes a leave for service in the uniformed services, coverage for the employee and dependents for whom coverage is elected begins the day after the employee would lose coverage under the Contract. Coverage continues for up to 24 months. Federal law provides that continuation coverage may end earlier for any of the following reasons: a. The employer no longer provides group health coverage to any of its employees; b. The premium for continuation coverage is not paid on time; c. The employee loses their rights under USERRA as a result of a dishonorable discharge or other undesirable conduct; d. The employee fails to return to work following the completion of his or her service in the uniformed services; or e. The employee returns to work and is reinstated under the Contract as an active employee. Continuation coverage may also end earlier for reasons which would allow regular coverage to be terminated, such as fraud.

However, you will not be eligible for coverage beyond the scheduled termination of your coverage because of a failure to record the termination. Relationship between parties The relationships between Medica, the employer, and network providers are contractual relationships between independent contractors. Network providers are not agents or employees of Medics. The relationship between a provider and any member is that of health care provider and patient. The provider is solely responsible for health care provided to any member. Assignment Medica will have the right to assign any and all of its rights and responsibilities under the Contract to any subsidiary or affiliate of Medica or to any other appropriate organization or entity.

The health services or supplies (described in this certificate and any subsequent amendments) approved by Medica as eligible for coverage. Certification of qualifying coverage. A written certification that group health plans and health insurance issuers must provide to an individual to confirm the qualifying coverage provided to the individual under the group health plan or health insurance. Claim. An invoice, bill, or itemized statement for benefits provided to you. Coinsurance. The percentage amount you must pay to the provider for benefits received. Full coinsurance payments may apply to scheduled appointments canceled less than 24 hours before the appointment time or to missed appointments. For in-network benefits, the coinsurance amount is based on the lesser of the: 1. Charge billed by the provider (i.e., retail); or 2. Negotiated amount that the provider has agreed to accept as full payment for the benefit (i.e., wholesale). When the wholesale amount is not known nor readily calculated at the time the benefit is provided, Medica uses an amount to approximate the wholesale amount. For services from some network providers, however, the coinsurance is based on the provider's retail charge. The provider's retail charge is the amount that the provider would charge to any patient, whether or not that patient is a Medica member. For out-of-network benefits, the coinsurance will be based on the lesser of the: 1. Charge billed by the provider (i.e., retail); or 2. Non-network provider reimbursement amount. For out-of-network benefits, in addition to any coinsurance and deductible amounts, you are responsible for any charges billed by the provider in excess of the non-network provider reimbursement amount. In addition, for the network pharmacies described in Prescription Drug Program and Prescription Specialty Drug Program, the calculation of coinsurance amounts as described above do not include possible reductions for any volume purchase discounts or price adjustments that Medica may later receive related to certain prescription drugs and pharmacy services. The coinsurance may not exceed the charge billed by the provider for the benefit. Continuous coverage. The maintenance of continuous and uninterrupted qualifying coverage by an eligible employee or dependent. An eligible employee or dependent is considered to have maintained continuous coverage if enrollment is requested under the Contract within 63 days of termination of the previous qualifying coverage.

Hospice services are comprehensive palliative medical care and supportive social, emotional, and spiritual services. These services are provided to terminally ill persons and their families, primarily in the patients' homes. A hospice interdisciplinary team, composed of professionals and volunteers, coordinates an individualized plan of care for each patient and family. The goal of hospice care is to make patients as comfortable as possible to enable them to live their final days to the fullest in the comfort of their own homes and with loved ones. Respite care is a form of hospice services that gives your uncompensated primary caregivers (i.e., family members or friends) rest or relief when necessary to maintain a terminally ill member at home. Respite care is limited to not more than five consecutive days at a time. • In-network benefits apply to hospice services arranged through a physician and received from a network program. hospice p P 9 • Out-of-network benefits apply to hospice services arranged through a physician and received from a non-network hospice program.

To be eligible for the hospice benefits described in this section, you must: 1. Be a terminally ill patient; and 2. Have chosen a palliative treatment focus (i.e., one that emphasizes comfort and supportive services rather than treatment attempting to cure the disease or condition). You will be considered terminally ill if there is a written medical prognosis by your physician that your life expectancy is six months or less if the terminal illness runs its normal course.

Medica's PDL identifies whether a drug is classified by Medica as a Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 covered drug. In general, only drugs on Medica's PDL are eligible for benefits under this certificate. The PDL includes the following tiers: Tier 1 is your lowest copayment or coinsurance option. For the lowest out-of-pocket expense, you should consider a Tier 1 covered drug if you and your physician decide it is appropriate for your treatment. Tier 2 is your higher copayment or coinsurance option. You may consider a Tier 2 covered drug to treat your condition if you and your physician decide it is appropriate. Tier 3 is your highest copayment or coinsurance option. The covered drugs in Tier 3 are usually more costly. If you have questions about Medica's PDL or whether a specific drug is covered (and/or the PDL tier in which the drug may be covered), or if you would like to request a copy of the PDL at no charge, call Customer Service at one of the telephone numbers listed inside the front cover. The PDL is also available when you sign in at www.mymedica.com. Medica utilizes medication request guidelines to determine whether a drug should be considered a covered drug. Medica's medication request guidelines are based on United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, manufacturers' packaging guidelines, and clinical publications. These medication request guidelines, as well as the PDL, are periodically reviewed and modified by Medica. In addition to the medication request guidelines, Medica assigns a tier to each drug based on a review of the drug's cost and effectiveness. Exceptions to the preferred drug list Exceptions to the PDL can include antipsychotic drugs prescribed to treat emotional disturbance or mental illness, and certain drugs for diagnosed mental illness or emotional disturbance if removed from the PDL or you change health plans.

However, you will not be eligible for coverage beyond the scheduled termination of your coverage because of a failure to record the termination. Relationship between parties The relationships between Medica, the employer, and network providers are contractual relationships between independent contractors. Network providers are not agents or employees of Medica. The relationship between a provider and any member is that of health care provider and patient. The provider is solely responsible for health care provided to any member. Assignment Medica will have the right to assign any and all of its rights and responsibilities under the Contract to any subsidiary or affiliate of Medica or to any other appropriate organization or entity. Notice Except as otherwise provided in this certificate, written notice given by Medica to an authorized representative of the employer will be deemed notice to all affected in the administration of the Contract in the event of termination or nonrenewal of the Contract. However, notice of termination for nonpayment of premium shall be given by Medica to an authorized representative of the employer and to each subscriber.

The health services or supplies (described in this certificate and any subsequent amendments) approved by Medica as eligible for coverage. Certification of qualifying coverage. A written certification that group health plans and health insurance issuers must provide to an individual to confirm the qualifying coverage provided to the individual under the group health plan or health insurance. Claim. An invoice, bill, or itemized statement for benefits provided to you. Coinsurance. The percentage amount you must pay to the provider for benefits received. Full coinsurance payments may apply to scheduled appointments canceled less than 24 hours before the appointment time or to missed appointments. For in-network benefits, the coinsurance amount is based on the lesser of the: 1. Charge billed by the provider (i.e., retail); or 2. Negotiated amount that the provider has agreed to accept as full payment for the benefit (i.e., wholesale). When the wholesale amount is not known nor readily calculated at the time the benefit is provided, Medica uses an amount to approximate the wholesale amount. For services from some network providers, however, the coinsurance is based on the provider's retail charge. The provider's retail charge is the amount that the provider would charge to any patient, whether or not that patient is a Medica member. For out-of-network benefits, the coinsurance will be based on the lesser of the: 1. Charge billed by the provider (i.e., retail); or 2. Non-network provider reimbursement amount. For out-of-network benefits, in addition to any copayment, coinsurance, and deductible amounts, you are responsible for any charges billed by the provider in excess of the non- network provider reimbursement amount. In addition, for the network pharmacies described in Prescription Drug Program and Prescription Specialty Drug Program, the calculation of coinsurance amounts as described above do not include possible reductions for any volume purchase discounts or price adjustments that Medica may later receive related to certain prescription drugs and pharmacy services. The coinsurance may not exceed the charge billed by the provider for the benefit. Continuous coverage. The maintenance of continuous and uninterrupted qualifying coverage by an eligible employee or dependent. An eligible employee or dependent is considered to have maintained continuous coverage if enrollment is requested under the Contract within 63 days of termination of the previous qualifying coverage.
