This is only a summary. If you want more detail about your coverage and costs, you can get the complete terms in the policy or plan document at www.mymeritain.com or by calling your employer at 918-878-3425 or Meritain Health, Inc. at 800-925-2272. Important Questions Answers Why this Matters: What is the overall deductible? For Clinic Plus providers: $500 person / $1,000 family For St. Francis providers: $500 person / $1,000 family You must pay all the costs up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay for covered services you use. Check your policy or plan document to see when the deductible starts over (usually, but not always, January 1st). See the chart starting on page 2 for how much you pay for covered services after you meet the deductible. Are there other deductibles for specific services? Is there an out-of-pocket limit on my expenses? No. Yes. For Clinic Plus providers: $2,000 person / $4,000 family For St. Francis providers: $2,000 person / $4,000 family You don t have to meet deductibles for specific services, but see the chart starting on page 2 for other costs for services this plan covers. The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay during a coverage period (usually one year) for your share of the cost of covered services. This limit helps you plan for health care expenses. What is not included in the out-of-pocket limit? Is there an overall annual limit on what the plan pays? Does this plan use a network of providers? Do I need a referral to see a specialist? Are there services this plan doesn t cover? Premiums, precertification penalty amounts, balance-billed charges and health care this plan doesn t cover. No. Yes. See www.aetna.com/docfind/custom/my meritain or call (800) 343-3140 for a list of participating providers. No. Yes. Even though you pay these expenses, they don t count toward the out-of-pocket limit. The chart starting on page 2 describes any limits on what the plan will pay for specific covered services, such as office visits. If you use an in-network doctor or other health care provider, this plan will pay some or all of the costs of covered services. Be aware, your in-network doctor or hospital may use an out-of-network provider for some services. Plans use the term in-network, preferred, or participating for providers in their network. See the chart starting on page 2 for how this plan pays different kinds of providers. You can see the specialist you choose without permission from this plan. Some of the services this plan doesn t cover are listed on page 5. See your policy or plan document for additional information about excluded services. 1 of 8

Common Medical Event If you visit a health care provider s office or clinic Copayments are fixed dollar amounts (for example, $15) you pay for covered health care, usually when you receive the service. Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a covered service, calculated as a percent of the allowed amount for the service. For example, if the plan s allowed amount for an overnight hospital stay is $1,000, your coinsurance payment of 20% would be $200. This may change if you haven t met your deductible. The amount the plan pays for covered services is based on the allowed amount. If a non-participating provider charges more than the allowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. For example, if a non-participating provider hospital charges $1,500 for an overnight stay and the allowed amount is $1,000, you may have to pay the $500 difference. (This is called balance billing.) This plan only provides coverage when you use a ClinicPlus or St. Francis provider. There is no coverage under the plan if you use a participating or non- participating provider, unless due to a medical emergency.

Your Rights to Continue Coverage: If you lose coverage under the plan, then, depending upon the circumstances, Federal and State laws may provide protections that allow you to keep health coverage.

Other limitations on your rights to continue coverage may also apply. For more information on your rights to continue coverage, contact the plan at 918-878-3425 or Meritain Health, Inc. at 800-925-2272.

Coverage Examples Coverage for: Single + Family Plan Type: EPO About these Coverage Examples: These examples show how this plan might cover medical care in given situations. Use these examples to see, in general, how much financial protection a sample patient might get if they are covered under different plans. This is not a cost estimator. Don t use these examples to estimate your actual costs under this plan. The actual care you receive will be different from these examples, and the cost of that care will also be different. See the next page for important information about these examples. Having a baby (normal delivery) Amount owed to providers: $7,540 Plan pays $6,360 Patient pays $1,180 Managing type 2 diabetes (routine maintenance of a well-controlled condition) Amount owed to providers: $5,400 Plan pays $4,070 Patient pays $1,330 Sample care costs: Sample care costs: Hospital charges (mother) $2,700 Prescriptions $2,900 Routine obstetric care $2,100 Medical Equipment and Supplies $1,300 Hospital charges (baby) $900 Office Visits and Procedures $700 Anesthesia $900 Education $300 Laboratory tests $500 Laboratory tests $100 Prescriptions $200 Vaccines, other preventive $100 Radiology $200 Total $5,400 Vaccines, other preventive $40 Total $7,540 Patient pays: Deductibles $500 Patient pays: Copays $630 Deductibles $500 Coinsurance $120 Copays $20 Limits or exclusions $80 Coinsurance $510 Total $1,330 Limits or exclusions $150 Total $1,180 7 of 8

Coverage Examples Coverage for: Single + Family Plan Type: EPO Questions and answers about the Coverage Examples: What are some of the assumptions behind the Coverage Examples? What does a Coverage Example show? Can I use Coverage Examples to compare plans? Costs don t include premiums. Sample care costs are based on national averages supplied by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and aren t specific to a particular geographic area or health plan. Coverage examples are based on single coverage only. The patient s condition was not an excluded or preexisting condition. All services and treatments started and ended in the same coverage period. There are no other medical expenses for any member covered under this plan. Out-of-pocket expenses are based only on treating the condition in the example. The patient received all care from ClinicPlus providers. If the patient had received care from St. Francis providers, costs would have been higher. For each treatment situation, the Coverage Example helps you see how deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance can add up. It also helps you see what expenses might be left up to you to pay because the service or treatment isn t covered or payment is limited. Does the Coverage Example predict my own care needs? No. Treatments shown are just examples. The care you would receive for this condition could be different based on your doctor s advice, your age, how serious your condition is, and many other factors. Does the Coverage Example predict my future expenses? No. Coverage Examples are not cost estimators. You can t use the examples to estimate costs for an actual condition. They are for comparative purposes only. Your own costs will be different depending on the care you receive, the prices your providers charge, and the reimbursement your health plan allows. Yes. When you look at the Summary of Benefits and Coverage for other plans, you ll find the same Coverage Examples. When you compare plans, check the Patient Pays box in each example. The smaller that number, the more coverage the plan provides. Are there other costs I should consider when comparing plans? Yes. An important cost is the premium you pay. Generally, the lower your premium, the more you ll pay in out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments, deductibles, and coinsurance. You should also consider contributions to accounts such as health savings accounts (HSAs), flexible spending arrangements (FSAs) or health reimbursement accounts (HRAs) that help you pay out-of-pocket expenses.
