                   Anthem Blue Cross Classic HMO Plan
                   When you enroll in the Anthem Blue Cross Classic HMO Plan, you select a Primary Care
                   Physician (PCP) who coordinates and manages your health care services. Your PCP provides
                   routine care and refers you to specialists when necessary. You may choose a different PCP
                   for each family member. Services that are not referred by your PCP are not eligible for
                   coverage under the Anthem Blue Cross Classic HMO Plan, except in emergency situations.

                   Kaiser Permanente HMO Plan
                   When you enroll in the Kaiser Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) Plan, you must
                   obtain health care services from Kaiser providers and facilities. Most medical services are
                   covered at 100% after a small copay when you receive care from a Kaiser provider. Services
                   not obtained from Kaiser providers or facilities will not be covered except in emergency
                   situations or with an authorized referral.

                   Kaiser Permanente HSA Deductible HMO Plan
                   When you enroll in the Kaiser Permanente HSA Deductible HMO Plan, you must obtain
                   health care services from Kaiser providers and facilities. The Kaiser Permanente HSA
                   Deductible HMO Plan is a high-deductible health plan with a health savings account. This
                   plan includes a high deductible and no copays apply until the deductible is met. You may
                   fund your deductible and other qualified health care expenses with pre-tax contributions from
                   a Health Savings Account (HSA). See Understanding Health Savings Accounts on page 4
                   for more details.

                   Anthem Blue Cross Exclusive Classic (EPO) Plan
                   When you enroll in the Anthem Exclusive Classic (EPO) Plan, you may obtain services
                   from any provider you wish. When you obtain services from providers who participate in
                   the Anthem Blue Cross PPO network, your benefits are greater. When you obtain services
                   from providers who do not participate in the Anthem Blue Cross PPO network, your
                   out-of-pocket expenses are higher.
