Important Information
The Affordable Care Act and You
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires nearly every American to be enrolled in medical coverage or pay a penalty. This is referred
to as the individual mandate. You have several options to satisfy this requirement:
• Enroll in a medical plan offered by Wayfinders or another group plan
• Purchase coverage through a health insurance marketplace
• Enroll in coverage through a government sponsored program
• Have no coverage and incur a tax penalty
Because Wayfinders’ medical plans are considered affordable and meet minimum value under Health Care Reform, you will not
generally see lower premiums or out-of-pocket costs through the marketplace. In addition, employer contributions to your medical
benefits will be lost if you choose to purchase coverage through the marketplace, and your portion of medical premiums will no
longer be paid via payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis.

Various state and federal laws require that employers provide disclosure and annual notices to their plan
participants. Wayfinders will distribute all federally required annual notices upon eligibility for benefit and

• Medicare Part D Notice of Creditable Coverage
