Medical Plan Definitions






        Annual Maximum—The maximum dollar amount the Medical or Dental Plan will pay in a
        calendar year.

        Carrier/Provider—The insurance company providing coverage, such as Anthem for medical
        and Cigna for dental.

        Coinsurance—The percentage of a health care expense paid by a Team Member after meeting
        the deductible. For example, if the plan pays 80% of an expense, the Team Member pays 20% coinsurance.

        Copay—A flat amount you pay at the time you receive services or treatments.

        HSA—Health Savings Account. A personal bank account that is set up in conjunction with
        enrollment in the CDHP option. It is subject to IRS limits for tax-advantaged contributions.

        Deductible—The amount of covered expenses you must pay each calendar year before a
        Plan begins to pay its share of covered expenses.

        In-Network Provider—A provider who has agreed to be part of a network and therefore
        agreed to a set fee schedule. The advantage of using in-network providers is a lower
        out-of-pocket cost to the Team Member.


        Out-of-Network/Non-Network Provider—A provider who is not included on the “in-network”
        list. A Plan may or may not guarantee service, service rates, or coverage when a provider is
        out-of-network. Team Members will pay more if using out-of-network providers.

        Out-of-Pocket Maximum—The total amount you pay out-of-pocket in a calendar year before a
        Plan begins paying 100% of your expenses. It includes deductibles and co-pays.
