Comprehensive and preventive healthcare coverage is important in protecting you and your family from the financial risks of unex-pected illness and injury.

LSU First is a self-insured plan that gives you options and con-trol over how to spend your healthcare dollars. There are two options: Option 1 has a higher premium, but a lower deductible. Option 2 has a lower premium, but a higher deductible you must meet before the Plan pays at the co-insurance/co-payment levels. Option 2 may be a good choice if you have rollover HRA dollars from previous plan years or if you know you will have minimal healthcare costs during the Plan Year.

LSU First includes a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA), with the ability for unused dollars to be rolled over from year to year. After the HRA is exhausted, you have a deductible that must be met. The deductibles vary based on plan option and can be seen below. After both the HRA is exhausted and the deductible is satisfied, the Plan will pay medical claims at 90% In-Network (you are responsible for 10%) and 60% of MRC Out-of-Network (you are responsible for 40% plus the overage of the MRC). If you exhaust your HRA and meet your Deductible, you will pay a co-pay for your prescriptions. Generic drugs will have a $0 co-pay, brand name drugs will have a $40 co-pay per 30-day supply and specialty drugs have a $150 co-pay per 30-day supply.

An advantage of the LSU First Health Plan is the First Choice Network, a specialized network of doctors and hospitals within Louisiana. Once you have exhausted your HRA, services by First Choice Providers will be covered at 100%. Additionally, once you have exhausted your HRA, generic drugs will be covered at 100%. LSU First has two networks – Verity HealthNet, a localized net-

Basic Plan

Good oral care enhances overall physical health, appearance and mental well-being. Keep your teeth healthy and your smile bright with the LSU dental plan offered through UnitedHealthcare.

The Basic plan is designed with two goals in mind: to promote good dental hygiene through preventive care and to provide you with the dental care you need at a low cost. The Basic Plan pays 100% of the Usual and Customary (U&C) fee allowance for Pre-ventive Services and features a benefit schedule for all other services. The benefit schedule lets you know up front, in fixed dollar amounts, how much the Plan pays for Basic and Major services. To use these schedules, check your dentist’s fee and then deter-mine how much the Plan will pay according to the scheduled amounts. The Basic Plan has an annual deductible of $50/person up to $150/family for non-preventive services.

The Enhanced Plan offers comprehensive dental coverage in an easy-to-use format. The Plan will cover a percentage of U&C charges, including 100% of preventive claims. All dentists in network have agreed to honor the negotiated rates, and most dentists not in the network charge similarly, helping you to limit your out-of-pocket costs. Orthodontia is also included in the Enhanced Plan, making it a good choice for families with more extensive dental needs. The Enhanced Plan does not have a deductible.

For 2016, you can enroll, change plan options, or cancel your dental coverage. To do so, complete the Voluntary Benefits Enroll-ment Form and submit to your local HR department.

Optional AD&D coverage provides benefits due to

age amount must equal amount of life insurance.

No one wants to think about the possibility of death, but it’s

important that you ensure your family’s financial security in

the event that something happens. Term Life insurance of-

fers financial security for you, your spouse, and your child

(ren).

If you are currently enrolled:

Employee = you can increase your coverage by 1 time

your basic annual salary, up to a total of $500,000, with-

out evidence of insurability.

Spouse = you can increase by $5,000, up to a total

amount of $100,000, not to exceed 50% of employee

coverage, without evidence of insurability.

Eligible children (up to age 26) = you may enroll in

increments of $5,000, up to $20,000. No evidence of

insurability is required.

If you are not currently enrolled:

Employee = you can enroll for $10,000 of coverage

without evidence of insurability..

Spouse = you are not eligible to enroll for coverage

without completing evidence of insurability and being

approved by UnitedHealthcare

Eligible children (up to age 26) = you may enroll in

increments of $5,000, up to $20,000. No evidence of

insurability is required.

Life Insurance benefit

Employee and spouse premiums are age based; there-

fore, premiums will increase each time you move up an

age band. Child(ren) rates are based on amount of cov-

erage, not age.

To calculate your monthly premium, multiply the rates

below by the amount of coverage you would like to

purchase. Please note the rates are per $10,000. For

example, if you would like $50,000 you would multiply

your rate by 5.

ACCIDENTIAL DEATH & DISMEMBERMENT

An accident that ends in death or disabling injury has a dev-

astating effect on the lives of your loved ones. The loss of a

family wage earner puts strain in a family and raises con-

cerns as to how they will manage financially. Even if you are

unmarried, remaining family members could be left fulfilling

your financial responsibilities or taking care of you.

LSU partners with UnitedHealthcare to provide you and

your family with valuable AD&D insurance at affordable

rates. This benefit pays in the event of death or dismember-

ment resulting from an accident. You may select coverage

for yourself, your spouse and/or your children.

Family members may be insured for a portion of your

principal sum:

Spouse = 50% your principal sum or 40% if you have

eligible children

Eligible children = 15% your principal sum or 10%

if you have an eligible spouse

You may apply for this benefit at any time without evidence

of insurability. Benefits are effective the first of the month

following enrollment.

LONG-TERM DISABILITY Administered by UnitedHealthcare

A lengthy disability can be devastating and may be more com-

mon than you think. Your ability to earn an income may be

your most important asset. People don’t think twice about in-

suring their homes, cars, or health, but many do not recognize

the need to insure their income.

LSU partners with UnitedHealthcare to provide affordable

Long Term Disability coverage to help you continue to meet

your family’s needs in the event of a disabling illness or injury.

If you become disabled and qualify for benefits, LTD coverage

will pay you 60% of your monthly salary, up to a maximum

of $12,000 a month. Disability benefits are paid if you are con-

sidered disabled and you satisfy a waiting period of 90 days and

exhaust your sick leave. If you are disabled before the age of

60, the benefit will continue until Social Security Normal Re-

tirement Age. If you are disabled after you turn 60, a reduced

benefit period applies based on the year you become disabled.

If you are not currently covered, you can apply anytime during

the year with medical underwriting.

Rates

Your premium is based on your salary. To calculate

your monthly premium, calculate your monthly salary

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT(S) Administered by Boon-Chapman

This benefit provides you with the opportunity to set aside pre-tax dollars for out-of-pocket health care or

dependent care expenses incurred by you and/or your eligible dependents. You must determine an annual target amount to

be withheld. You should determine the amount to be withheld by forecasting your out-of-pocket health care and/or depend-

ent care expenses for the entire Plan year, plus the grace period (January 1 through March 15).

For healthcare spending accounts, you will be provided with a pre-loaded debit card with this amount for your use through-

out the Plan Year. The deduction is made before taxes, thus making the spending account dollars income tax-free. To access

the money in your account, you can either use your FSA Debit Card at the time of service, or you can file a paper claim re-

questing reimbursement for eligible out-of-pocket expenses.

LSU will no longer offer the Premiums Only Plan (POP). This means that your premiums for medical, dental, and vision

insurance will automatically be deducted before taxes from your paycheck. There is no cost or tax liability. Due to the tax

advantages under this program, you can only change or cancel this election during Annual Enrollment or if you experience a

qualifying event. If you are currently set up to have your premiums come out after taxes, LSU will automatically change your

contributions to pre-tax effective January 1, 2016. For 2016, you must re-enroll and elect your contributions. Contact

your HR department for instructions on how to enroll.

CRITICAL ILLNESS Administered by UnitedHealthcare

LSU partners with UnitedHealthcare to provide you and

your family with valuable Critical Illness insurance.

This benefit is designed to help protect you and your fami-

ly’s financial health. Critical Illness insurance can help fill a

financial gap if you or a family member experiences a severe,

life-threatening illness, such as cancer, heart attack, or major

organ transplant. Upon diagnosis of a covered illness, you

can receive a lump-sum benefit.

Covered illnesses include the following:

Category 1 (Cancer) —Cancer-100%; Carcinoma in

Situ-25%

Category 2 (Cardiovascular) —Heart Attack, Stroke,

Heart Transplant, Ruptured Aneurysm-100%; Coro-

nary Artery Bypass-25%

Category 3 (Other)—Chronic Renal Failure, Paralysis,

Severe Burns, Severe Brain Damage, Coma, Major

Organ Transplant-100%

You are eligible to receive payment one time for each cate-

gory listed. There is a reoccurrence/restoration rider you

may be eligible for after 12 months. For example, if you

receive a lump sum payment due to a critical illness diagno-

sis and then are later diagnosed with another critical illness

in the same category, this restoration benefit would pay an

additional one time benefit for the same category.

This insurance plan also provides a wellness benefit. It will

pay out $100 per year for certain health-screening tests, such

as mammograms, colonoscopies, chest x-rays. A more de-

LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE Administered by Unum

Today, Long Term Care (LTC) insurance is important for

people of all ages if they want to preserve financial security

and independence in the event of an extended disability.

Despite popular misconceptions, the need for long-term

care isn’t restricted to the elderly because many working

age adults have disabling injuries and illnesses as well.

Americans who need long-term care have more choice

than ever. Many are able to remain in their homes and still

receive the care they need. If you become disabled for any

reason and couldn’t live independently, how would you

pay for the care you need? The financial impact of long-

term care is significant, no matter where it is provided, and

government programs don’t always pay for services.

Did you know?

The national average cost of a private room in a nurs-

ing home is about $70,000 a year and an average stay

is 24-26 months.

The average base rate for a private room in assisted

living care is about $33,000 per year.

Medical insurance does not cover most long-term

care cost. Medicare only covers short-term, skilled

nursing home care following hospitalization, and only

pays for short-term assistance for care at home. Medi-

caid only pays after you have depleted your personal

assets. .

LSU partners with Unum to provide you and your family with valuable long-term care insurance. Coverage is available to bene-

fits-eligible employees, retirees, their spouses, parents, and grandparents, and their spouses’ parents and grandparents.

Unum offers a variety of plan options to LSU employees. These options can be found on the Benefits website at

www.lsu.edu/benefits. Employees can apply for coverage at any time throughout the year, but are subject to medical underwrit-

ing and approval by Unum.
