MEDICAL INSURANCE

Option 1 - HSA PPO (Choice Fund OAP)

The Health Savings Account (HSA) plan through Cigna combines a high deductible health plan (HDHP) with a special, tax-
qualified savings account. You may use your HSA funds to pay for current medical expenses or save toward future medical
expenses. You have the freedom to choose your doctor without the requirement of selecting a PCP and you may self-refer
to specialists. You may use a PPO provider whose negotiated rates provide richer levels of benefits with claim forms filed by
the providers. You may also obtain services using a non-network provider; however, you will be responsible for the difference
between the covered amount and the actual charges and you may be responsible for filing claims. QSC will make an annual
contribution toward your employee/family health savings account, funded biweekly. In addition to the company contributions,
you may elect to make contributions into your account up to the IRS maximums. See page 10 for additional information.

Option 2 - HMO Select (Narrow Network)
With the Select Network Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan, you must choose a Primary Care Physician (PCP)
or medical group within the Cigna Select Network for all of your covered family members. All of your care must be directed
through your PCP or medical group. Any specialty care you need will be coordinated through your PCP and will generally
require a referral or authorization. You will receive benefits only if you use the doctors, clinics, and hospitals that belong to the
medical group in which you are enrolled, except in the case of an emergency. This plan uses a smaller network of the most cost
effective providers to provide lower per paycheck premiums. Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure that all family
members choose providers from the Cigna Select Network HMO. Additional information is on page 11.

Option 3 - HMO (Full Network)
This plan works just like the Select Network but uses a larger network of providers. Since this plan offers more provider options,
you will experience higher per paycheck premiums.

Option 4 - PPO (OAP)
With the Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) option through Cigna, you have the freedom to choose your doctor without using
a primary care physician (PCP) and you may self-refer to specialists. Similar to the HSA plan, you may use a PPO provider whose
negotiated rates provide richer levels of benefits with claim forms filed by the providers. You may also obtain services using a non-
network provider; however, you will be responsible for the difference between the covered amount and the actual charges and you
may be responsible for filing claims.
