January 22, 2018
Accident Insurance
Accident Insurance pays a set benefit amount
based on
the type of injury you have and the type of
treatment you
need. It covers accidents that occur on and off
the job. And it
includes a range of incidents, from common
injuries to more
serious events.
Why is this coverage so valuable? • It can help you with out-of-pocket costs
that your medical plan doesn’t cover, like
co-pays and deductibles.
• You’re guaranteed base coverage, without
answering health questions.
• The cost is conveniently deducted from your
paycheck.
• You can keep your coverage if you change
jobs or retire. You’ll be billed directly
Who can get coverage?
You If you’re actively at work
Your Spouse Ages 17-64
Your Children Dependent children from birth
until their 26th birthday,
regardless of marital or
student status
How much does it cost? Monthly Premium
You $22.35
You and your spouse $38.46
You and your child(ren) $41.62
You, your spouse and
child(ren)
$57.73
Critical Illness Insurance
How does it work? If you’re diagnosed with an illness that is
covered by this insurance, you’ll receive a
benefit payment in one lump sum. You can use
the money however you want.
Why is this coverage so valuable? • The money can help you pay out-of-pocket
medical expenses, like co-pays and
deductibles.
• You can use this coverage more than once.
Even after you receive a payout for one
illness, you’re still covered for the remaining
conditions. If you have a different condition
later, you can receive another benefit.
• This insurance pays you once for each
eligible illness. However, the diagnoses must
be at least 90 days apart, and the
conditions can’t be related to each other.
Can I buy coverage now?
• It’s more affordable when you buy it
through your employer.
• The cost is conveniently deducted from your
paycheck.
• You can keep coverage if you leave the
company or retire. You’ll be billed at home.
Monthly Premium per $1,000 of Coverage
Age Non-Tobacco Tobacco 0-24 $0.58 $0.87
25-29 $0.63 $1.05
30-34 $0.83 $1.48
35-39 $1.13 $2.17
40-44 $1.60 $3.19
45-49 $2.20 $4.40

Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act - -Notice of Rights The Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 was enacted on October 21, 1998. It provides certain
protections for breast cancer patients who elect breast reconstruction in connection with a mastectomy.
Specifically, the Act requires that health plans cover post-mastectomy reconstructive breast surgery if they
provide medical and surgical coverage for mastectomies. Coverage must be provided for:
1. Reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed;
2. Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; and
3. Prostheses and physical complications of all stages of mastectomy, including lymphedemas.
The benefits required under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act must be provided in a manner
determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient.
These benefits are subject to the health plan’s regular co-payments and deductibles.
Medicare Part D Important Notice from the Financial Network Benefits Plan About Your Prescription Drug
Coverage and Medicare
Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about
your current prescription drug coverage with The Financial Network Benefit Plan and about your options
under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you
want to join a Medicare drug plan. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current
coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans
offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information about where you can get help
to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice.
There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s
prescription drug coverage:
Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get
this coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an
HMO or PPO) that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard
level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly
premium.
The Financial Network Benefit Plan has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the Basic
PPO and Security PPO is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as standard
Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because your
existing coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a
penalty) if you later decide to join a Medicare drug plan.

When Can You Join A Medicare Drug Plan?
You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from
November 25th through December 31st.
However, if you lose your current creditable prescription drug coverage, through no fault of your own, you
will also be eligible for a two (2) month Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan.
What Happens To Your Current Coverage If You Decide to Join A Medicare Drug Plan?
If you decide to join a Medicare drug plan, your current Financial Network Benefit Plan
coverage will be affected. You can retain your existing coverage and choose not to enroll in
a Part D plan; or you can enroll in a Part D plan as primary.
If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Financial Network Benefit Plan
coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will not be able to get this coverage back until
open enrollment or due to a change in family status.
When Will You Pay A Higher Premium (Penalty) To Join A Medicare Drug Plan?
You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with The Financial Network Benefit Plan
and don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous days after your current coverage ends, you may
pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later.
If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly
premium may go up by at least 1% of the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month
that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen months without creditable coverage,
your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium. You
may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug
coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until the following November to join.
