HR and Benefit
The High companies are committed to helping co-workers and their families live the healthiest lives possible. Your health and wellness are important to you and your family; they are also important to High. After all, a healthy workforce is the key to the sustainability and future of the company. Over the past several years, High’s Health Management Program has worked to support co-workers in building health-ier lifestyles through programs and activities that encourage taking small steps to making health-ier changes.
Throughout the course of the year, High offers various wellness activities for co-workers and their families to participate in and earn incentives and rewards. Co-workers and their spouses who participate in the High health plan can participate in the annual biometric screening to earn reduced rates on their annual health care premiums.
Who: All full-time co-workers and their medical plan-covered spouse.
What: Participants will have six key health indicators measured: glucose, waist circumference, blood pressure, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides.
When: Biometric screenings are conducted annually at various High locations during the month of September. Individuals who wish to have their biometrics completed by their physician can submit values taken any time between June 1 and September 30, 2023. All affidavits must be received by Andi Dean, Health Coach, by end of business September 30, 2023.
Why: Meet or improve upon four out of the six key health indicators from last year’s screening and avoid paying an additional $7 per week or an additional $10 per week for not participating at all. That is a savings of up to $520 annually, or $1,040 if both you and your covered spouse choose not to participate.
Who: All co-workers enrolled in High’s health plan.
What: Complete the nicotine affidavit indicating whether you and/or your spouse (if enrolled in the medical plan) are nicotine users.
Co-workers who attest to being non-nicotine users may receive a cotinine test (measures nicotine in the bloodstream) during the biometric screening or during random testing throughout the year.
When: Complete the nicotine affidavit during a biometric screening event. Co-workers who complete the screening through their own physician should see their HR representative or general manager, or contact Jenni Simmons, Benefits Administrator.
Why: A co-worker who uses nicotine or a co-worker who does not complete the nicotine affidavit pays an additional $30 per month. A co-worker pays an additional $30 per month for a spouse who also uses nicotine for a possible total of $60 per month. Contact Jenni Simmons in benefits to find out details on how to stop this deduction and get your year-to-date deduction refunded.
Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death, disease, disability, and loss of productivity in the United States. High is committed to assisting co-workers with improving their health by providing tobacco cessation resources. Take advantage of:
• 80% reimbursement of over-the-counter cessation products up to a lifetime maximum of $300 for all co-workers and spouses, regardless of benefit plan enrollment. With a prescription, many over-the-counter cessation products, including the nicotine patch, gum and lozenge, are covered at 100% up to a 180-day treatment regimen.
Whether it’s losing weight, improving biometric screening results, quitting smoking, or managing a chronic condition such as diabetes, health coaching can provide the motivation needed to achieve a health goal and create health-ier habits. Meet oneon-one with Andi Dean, our health coach dedicated to High, to receive guidance and encouragement to make a health change and get answers to your questions.
Coaching sessions last about 30-45 minutes and the number of sessions will vary depending on needs and goals. Co-workers are asked to schedule sessions at a time least likely to disrupt their work schedule. To get started with health coaching, contact Andi by phone at 717-293-4516 or email at adean@high.net
GET ACTIVE…For substantial health benefits, adults should do at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity (or 75 minutes of vigorousintensity) aerobic activity, or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, plus two days of strength training. Strong evidence suggests that physical activity reduces the risks of chronic conditions and several cancers.
BE PROACTIVE…Chronic diseases are responsible for 7 of every 10 deaths among Americans each year and account for 75% of health spending. These chronic diseases can be largely preventable and detected through appropriate screenings. (Source: CDC)

A Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a way to pay for out-of-pocket medical, dental, vision, prescription expenses and some over-the-counter items on a pre-tax basis. The minimum annual pledge is $100 and the maximum annual election is $2,850. Your annual election is divided by the number of pay periods in a year and deducted from your pay on a pre-tax basis. IRS regulations allow you to carry over unused balances of up to $550 for expenses incurred in the next year and still contribute up to $2,850 annually. An FSA debit card is a convenient tool that is linked directly to your FSA account. In order to comply with IRS regulations, WEX, the plan administrator, may ask you to provide a detailed receipt to show that your purchase is eligible under the IRS guidelines. Always keep your receipts and Explanation of Benefits for items you purchase with your debit card.
Mental
Claims may also be submitted online, via fax, WEX’s mobile app or US mail.
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts are designed to help you pay for childcare expenses on a pre-tax basis.
You may contribute up to $5,000 annually on a pre-tax basis to pay for childcare which allows you to work outside of the home. This includes daycare, before and after-school care and day camps. Unlike a Health Care FSA, a Dependent Care FSA does not allow you to be reimbursed for expenses greater than your current account balance.
For more information about the benefits of Flexible Spending Accounts call 866-451-3399 or visit Wex’s website benefitslogin.wexhealth.com
IMPORTANT REMINDER: On January 1, your debit card is loaded with 2023 funds.
To avoid major issues DO NOT pay for ANY 2022 charges with your FSA debit card.

90DayMyWay® allows members to fill maintenance medications – ones they take regularly to manage chronic conditions – through home delivery or at any participating retail pharmacies. Express Scripts is your home delivery pharmacy for 90-day maintenance drugs. Please allow 14 days for delivery. Call 855-924-8421 or visit www. capbluecross.com to set up your account and provide payment information.
Generic Substitution programs help to reduce out-ofpocket expenses and help to contain the rising costs of providing prescription drug benefits. Our program allows your doctor to specify that a brand name drug be dispensed by indicating “No Generic Substitution Permissible” on the written prescription. In this case, you will only be charged the brand name cost share. But, if you request a brand name drug when a generic is available, you will be charged the brand name cost share plus the cost difference between the generic and brand name medication.
Auto Refill is available for mail order medications so they are automatically sent to you until all refills are used or your prescription expires. You must sign up for this feature for each new prescription sent to Prime Therapeutics®.
Prior Authorization is a process to help ensure that certain drugs are prescribed appropriately and within FDA guidelines. You can identify these drugs on the Prime Therapeutics® formulary list as those listed with a PAR symbol next to them. To help prevent possible delays in filling your prescription, you or your physician should request a prior authorization before your prescriptions are filled.
Step Therapy applies to certain medications subject to enhanced prior authorization. In order to have these medications covered under your prescription drug benefit, you may be required to first try a formulary alternative or

Each covered individual is eligible for an exam plus one pair of lenses and frames or one set of contact lenses each calendar year.
Each member has an Eye Essential plan which provides plan discounts once you have exhausted your annual vision benefits. This plan is only for network providers. Using a participating provider will give you a greater benefit. Find a participating provider near you who provides full or limited services on NVA’s website.
A regular eye exam will cost you $5.00 at a participating NVA provider. Contact lens exams are not part of the $5.00 benefit. You are able to purchase your lenses and frames at wholesale prices which can add up to significant savings.
If you purchase contact lenses at a participating provider you will receive a 25% discount off of retail cost.
If you choose not to use a participating provider the reimbursement schedule is as follows:
$28 for exam and tomometry
$27 for lenses
$20 for frames
$47 for contacts only (uses both lens and frame allowance)

Supplemental Life is a voluntary benefit. You can purchase coverage valued at 1/2, 1, 2 or 3 times your salary. When selecting your coverage please use ONLY THOSE AMOUNTS. No other values will be honored by UNUM, the insurance carrier. This is in addition to the basic life and accidental death dismemberment insurance the company provides at no cost to you. If you are not a new coworker and this is your first time enrolling in this benefit, you will be required to complete Evidence of Insurability paperwork, which will be mailed to your home.
The cost of this benefit is determined by a combination of your salary and your age. (Below is a list of the amounts charged per $1000 of coverage.)
Age: Rate per $1000: Age: Rate per $1000:
Under 25 .048 50 to 54 .218
25 to 29 .057 55 to 59 .410
30 to 34 .067 60 to 64 .627
35 to 39 .076 65 to 69 1.007
40 to 44 .094 70 and Over 1.965 45 to 49 .143
Coverage for child(ren) is $4,000. The cost for one child is $0.16 per week and the cost for two or more children is $0.32 per week. Spouse life insurance is available in increments of $10,000, up to a maximum of 50% of a your total life insurance value. Spouse life insurance coverage can be calculated using the above supplemental life rates and the age band based on the your age (not your spouse’s age).
If you elect this benefit for the first time after our initial enrollment or increase your current supplemental life insurance amount above $50,000 you’ll be required to complete a health questionaire mailed to your home.
1. Multiply your hourly rate by 40 (hours)
2. Multiply the result by 52 (weeks). This is your annual base earnings.
3. Decide if you want coverage in the amount of:
• Half your annual base salary (divide by 2)
• Your annual base salary (remains the same)
• Twice your annual base salary (multiply by 2)
• Three times your annual base salary (multiply by 3)
4. Then round the figure up to the next $1000.
5. Move the decimal point three spaces to the left.
6. Multiply the premium listed for your age range as above.
7. This is your monthly premium. Multiply this figure times 12, then divide by 52 for your weekly premium, or divide by 26 for your bi-weekly premium.
Assume your hourly rate is $12.00
AND you are choosing 3X your annual base earnings:
$12.00 x 40 (hours) = $480.00
$480.00 x 52 (weeks) = $24,960.00
(this is your annual base earnings)
Multiply $24,960 x 3 (3x base salary) = $74,880.00
Round to the next $1000 = $75,000.00
Move decimal point three spaces to the left = $75.00
Assume your age is 42. You fall into the “40 to 44” category and your rate per $1000 would be .094.
Multiply .094 x 75 = $7.05 per month 7.05/month x 12 months = $84.60
Divided by 52 (weeks) = $1.63 per pay

Do you or your dependents have diabetes or prediabetes? Diabetes Connections aims to link you and your dependents who have diabetes with the support, education and tools necessary to improve health and well-being.
Any co-worker or dependent on High’s medical insurance plan who has diabetes or prediabetes is eligible. New to Diabetes Connections, any co-worker (or dependent) at any work location may participate (either in person or over the phone). Together, the participant and health coach will make and work towards long-term health and well-being goals. A participant in Diabetes Connections will be expected to meet with the health coach monthly for the first six months and then quarterly, or on a different schedule as determined by the health coach and participant. Participants also will be required to provide to the health coach proof of meeting health guidelines (like getting an annual eye exam, an annual flu shot, getting your A1c checked, etc.).
Results will remain confidential with the health coach.
Along with the support that a participant will receive, all co-pays for medications for diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, as well as diabetic supplies, will be paid by High for up to three years. Also, you will receive $35 towards each A1c test. These incentives are payable as long as you fulfill the program requirements. Depending on the frequency of meetings, you also may be eligible for a Healthy Rewards incentive.
Applying for Diabetes Connections is simple— just contact Jenni Simmons (jsimmons@high.net or 717-293-4503) or the health coach (Andi Dean, adean@high.net or 717-293-4516) to get started. Questions are welcomed!
Q: My spouse is not employed. Can she remain on High’s health plan in 2023?
A: A spouse can be covered under High’s health plan if she is not employed, is not eligible for her employer’s coverage, pays more than 35% of her employer’s lowest cost single coverage plan, or is self-employed. If employed, she will need to have her employer verify her coverage using the Spousal Verification form available on the last page of this packet. This form needs to be completed annually during open enrollment. This form is due in the benefits office by end of business day Friday, November, 18, 2022.
Q:Why can’t I add or remove dependents from my health plan coverage at any time during the year?
A: Our plan is considered a Section 125 plan which allows you to pay for your medical, dental and vision premiums with pre-tax dollars and lowers your taxable income by the amount of the premiums you pay. A Section 125 plan restricts you from making changes to your benefit elections unless you have a qualifying event (marriage, divorce, death of a covered dependent, birth of a child, dependent exceeding age limit, or loss of coverage under another medical plan). It is the coworker’s responsibility to notify the Benefits Department of a qualifying event within 30 days of its occurrence. No changes can be made after 30 days have lapsed. The next time you will be permitted to make a change to your election will be at open enrollment. Please note that all premiums for changes due to a qualifying event will be retroactive back to the actual date the event happened, not when you reported it.
Q: Can I still submit claims incurred in 2022 for reimbursement through my flexible spending account (FSA) by the end of March 2023?
A:You can still submit claims incurred in 2022 to WEX through March 31, 2023. FSA participants can carry over up to $550 of their unused account balance from 2022 for use in 2023. The amount carried over will appear in your FSA account by May 2023. For example, if you had $400 remaining in your account as of December 2022, and elected to contribute $2,850 in 2023, your available account balance would be $3,150 in 2023. You cannot have any more than $550 in the rollover account.
Q: Do I need to complete another nicotine affidavit if I did one last year?
A: Yes, each year you will be asked to complete the affidavit indicating whether you and /or your covered dependents are nicotine users. If you did not complete the affidavit during the on-site biometric screening events, you will need to complete
one and return it to Human Resources by the last date of open enrollment. All covered co-workers who attest to being nicotine free must complete a cotinine test with a negative result in order to avoid the nicotine surcharge. Cotinine testing has been a part of the biometric screening process. This year we did random testing. If you are covered with our benefits and choose not to participate in the screening process, you are still encouraged to complete the nicotine affidavit to avoid paying the nicotine surcharge.
Q:Will there be a difference in what I pay for health coverage if I did not participate in the biometric screening?
A: If you chose not to participate, you will pay an additional $10 per week for coverage. If you did participate but did not meet or improve upon four of the six key health indicators from last year’s screening, you will pay an additional $7 per week. If you were hired after August 31st, 2021, you will automatically receive the preferred contribution rate assuming you participated in this year’s screening. A spouse covered under High’s health plan must also participate in the biometric screening or you will pay an additional $10 per week. If a spouse participated and did not meet or improve upon four of the six key health indicators from last year’s screening, you will pay an additional $7 per week.
Q:Will I be charged for my annual physical or will it be covered 100% as a preventive service?
A: Although many preventive services are provided at no cost to you, the out-of-pocket expense depends on how your physician submits the claim to Capital Blue Cross. A list of preventive services can be found on www.capbluecross.com/highindustries. There are limits to the number of physicals covered based on a member’s age and some, but not all, services done during a physical may be considered preventive. Call member services at Capital Blue Cross 866-802-4780 for specific coverage questions.
A: When you swipe your debit card for vision and dental expenses, WEX only receives the total amount of the transaction and cannot tell if it is eligible for reimbursement. WEX preloads all of High’s copay amounts into their system, so you should not have to substantiate a standard copay. If you are required to substantiate a claim, send receipts or EOBs to them via fax, mail or online. Do not pay for 2022 expenses with your debit card in 2023 and instead file a claim online or by fax. IRS regulations prohibit you from paying a previous year’s expenses with money elected in the current year.
Allowed Amount – Maximum amount on which payment is based for covered health care services. This may be called “eligible expense,” “payment allowance” or “negotiated rate.” If your provider charges more than the allowed amount, you may have to pay the difference. (See Balance Billing.)
Appeal – A request for your health insurer or plan to review a decision or a grievance again. Balance Billing – When a provider bills you for the difference between the provider’s charge and the allowed amount. For example, if the provider’s charge is $100 and the allowed amount is $70, the provider may bill you for the remaining $30. A preferred provider may not balance bill you for covered services.
Co-insurance – Your share of the costs of a covered health care service, calculated as a percent (for example, 20%) of the allowed amount for the service. You pay co-insurance plus any deductibles you owe. For example, if the health insurance or plan’s allowed amount for an office visit is $100 and you’ve met your deductible, your co-insurance payment of 20% would be $20. The health insurance or plan pays the rest of the allowed amount.
Complications of Pregnancy – Conditions due to pregnancy, labor and delivery that require medical care to prevent serious harm to the health of the mother or the fetus. Morning sickness and a non-emergency caesarean section aren’t complications of pregnancy. Co-payment – A fixed amount (for example, $15) you pay for a covered health care service, usually when you receive the service. The amount can vary by the type of covered health care service.
Deductible – The amount you owe for health care services your health insurance or plan covers before your health insurance or plan begins to pay.

The Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) document will help you choose a health plan . The SBC shows you how you and the plan would share the cost for covered health care services. NOTE: Information about the cost of this plan (called the premium ) will be provided separately.
This is only a summary. For more information about your coverage, or to get a copy of the complete terms of coverage, call 1-866-802-4780. For general definitions of common terms, such as allowed amount , balance billing , coinsurance , copayment , deductible , provider , or other underlined terms see the Glossary. You can view the Glossary at www.healthcare.gov/sbc-glossary or call 1-888-428-2566 to request a copy.
Why This Matters:
Generally, you must pay all the costs from providers up to the deductible amount before this plan begins to pay. If you have other family members on the plan , each family member must meet their own individual deductible until the total amount of deductible expenses paid by all family members meets the overall family deductible .
This plan covers some items and services even if you haven't yet met the deductible amount. But a copayment or coinsurance may apply. For example, this plan covers certain preventive services without cost-sharing and before you meet your deductible . See a list of covered preventive services at https://www.healthcare.gov/coverage/preventive-care-benefits/.
You must pay all the costs for these services up to the specific deductible amount before this plan begins to pay for these services.
The out-of-pocket limit is the most you could pay in a year for covered services. If you have other family members in this plan , they have to meet their own out-of-pocket limits until the overall family outof-pocket limit has been met.

THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
The Privacy Rule under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) requires your self-funded health plan(s) (SFHP) Including your Health Care Reimbursement Plan to keep protected health information private and to give you this notice of its legal duties and privacy practices for protected health information. The SFHP must obey the terms of this notice as now in effect. The SFHP can change the terms of this notice and the privacy practices it describes at any time. The change must agree with the Privacy Rule. Any change will apply to all protected health information held by the SFHP. If there is a change, the change will not happen until you receive a new notice describing it. You will receive your new notice either at work or at the mailing address that you gave your employer.
The Privacy Rule allows the SFHP to use and disclose your medical information in order to decide if you are eligible for benefits and to handle claims and any appeals. When the SFHP discloses medical information to your employer and its employees that handle SFHP matters, the information will be kept confidential. Your employer agrees not to use or disclose the information for decisions about your employment (including fitness for duty determinations) or any other benefit or employee benefit plan. If an employee does not keep your medical information private, he will be disciplined.
If someone obtains, accesses, uses, or discloses your protected health information in a way not permitted under the Privacy Rule, the event will be investigated. You will receive a report of this breach if it compromises your protected health information.
If you do not give us a written authorization, the SFHP will not make any other uses or disclosures. Without your specific authorization, we cannot sell, use, or disclose your information for marketing or any other purpose. If your spouse or adult child files a claim without you, the SFHP will not discuss the claim with you without authorization from your spouse or adult child. An authorization can be revoked in writing. A revocation will not change anything the Plan has already done based on the earlier authorization.
• You have the right to request restrictions on the use and disclosure of medical information used for claims or Plan operations. Your spouse and dependents may ask that their medical information not be disclosed to you. The Plan is not required to agree to the restriction.
• You have the right to receive confidential communications of medical information in a different way or at a different address, if you are in danger. The Plan will agree to reasonable requests. A reasonable request: (1) is in writing; (2) identifies the information; (3) states that disclosure of all or part of this information could endanger you; (4) tells how to handle the reimbursement; and (5) gives another address or other way to contact you.
• You have the right to see and copy your medical information. You will be allowed to see this information, except for one reason. If a licensed health care professional determines this will endanger someone, you will be denied access. Your request must be in writing and can only apply to records held by the Plan. You do not have the right under these rules to see or copy health information in your employment file. The Plan will respond in 30 days after receipt of the request. If the information is not on-site, the Plan will tell you in 30 days and will provide the information in 60 days of the request. If this cannot be done, the Plan will explain the reasons for the delay in writing and will give you the date by which it will provide the information. It cannot delay beyond this date. You can see your medical information during normal business hours at a place named by the Plan Administrator. If you request copies, the Plan will charge $0.25 per page plus the cost of mailing. If the Plan does not have the information, and it knows where to find the information, it will tell you.
• You have the right to amend your medical information. Since the Plan does not create this information, you should contact your health care provider to change your medical information and send the amended information to the Plan. However, if the creator of the medical information is not available, you may file a written amendment request with the Plan. The request must explain why you believe the information creator is not available and why the change is necessary. If the information is not a part of its records or if it determines the current information on file is accurate and complete, the Plan will deny the request. The Plan will respond in 60 days after receipt of the request. If your request cannot be met in 60 days, the Plan will explain the reasons for the delay in writing and will give you the date by which it will respond. This date cannot be more than 90 days after your request. It cannot delay beyond this date. If the Plan agrees, in whole or in part, it will tell you, identify the affected records, and attach the amendment to them. If you tell the Plan to tell anyone else, it will make reasonable efforts to send the amendment within a reasonable time to those persons. If the Plan denies the request, in whole or in part, it will give you a written denial that states: (1) the reason; (2) how to send a written statement disagreeing with the denial; and (3) how to complain to the Plan or to the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. If you do not send a statement of disagreement, you may ask the Plan to include your amendment request and the denial with any future disclosures of the medical information. The Plan may write a rebuttal to your statement of disagreement. If there is a rebuttal, the Plan must send you a copy.
• You have the right to receive a record of medical information disclosures that have been made within the last 6 years. This record will not include disclosures to you or any you agreed to by an authorization form. The record will exclude disclosures to your employer that were made as a part of handling a claim. If you request more than one report in the same 12-month period, the Plan will charge a fee after the first report of $25 per report.
• You have the right to get a copy of this notice from the Plan by just asking.
If you believe your privacy rights have been violated, you may file a written complaint with the Contact Person. To file a complaint with the Plan hand-deliver or mail it to the address below. Please be as specific as possible and include any evidence you may have. Neither your employer nor the Plan will retaliate against you for filing a complaint.
If you do not get a response to your complaint in 30 days or if for any reason you do not feel comfortable filing your complaint with the Contact Person, contact the:
• Corporate Director of Human Resources
By law you can file a complaint with the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. You may obtain further information regarding this option from your Office for Civil Rights (OCR) regional office or the web at http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints/index.html.

This notice is being provided so that you understand your right to apply for group health insurance coverage outside of the annual open enrollment period. You should read this notice regardless of whether or not you are currently covered under the Group Health Plan. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) requires that employees be allowed to enroll themselves and/or their dependent(s) in an employer’s Group Health Plan under certain circumstances, described below, provided that the employee notified the employer within 30 days of the occurrence of any following events:
• Loss of health coverage under another employer plan (including exhaustion of COBRA coverage);
• Acquiring a spouse through marriage; or
• Acquiring a dependent child through birth, adoption, placement for adoption or foster care placement.
Effective April 1, 2009, the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 creates two new special enrollment rights for employees and/or their dependents. In addition to the special enrollment rights set forth above, all group health plans must also permit eligible employees and their dependent(s) to enroll in an employer plan if the employee requests enrollment under the group health plan within 60 days of the occurrence of following events:
• Loss of coverage under Medicaid or a state child health plan: If you or your dependent(s) lose coverage under Medicaid or a state child health plan, you may request to enroll yourself and/or your dependent(s) in our group health plan not later than 60 days after the date coverage ends under Medicaid or the state child health plan.
• Gaining eligibility for coverage under Medicaid or a state child health plan: If you and/or your dependent(s) become eligible for financial assistance from Medicaid or a state child health plan, you may request to enroll yourself and/or your dependent(s) under our group health plan, provided that your request is made not later than 60 days after the date that Medicaid or the state child health plan determines that you and/ or your dependent(s) are eligible for such financial assistance. If you and/or your dependent(s) are currently enrolled in our group health plan, you have the option of terminating your and/or your dependent’s (s’) enrollment in our group health plan and enroll in Medicaid or a state child health plan.
Please note that once you terminate your enrollment in our group health plan, your dependent’s (s’) enrollment will be also terminated.
Failure to notify us of your loss or gain of eligibility for coverage under Medicaid or a state child health plan within 60 days, will prevent you from enrolling in our plans and/or making any changes to your coverage elections until our next open enrollment period.
To request special enrollment, or if you have questions regarding special enrollment rights, please contact the Human Resources Department.
The High Health Management Program (“HHMP”) is a voluntary wellness program available to all High Company, LLC (“High”) co-workers. The program is administered according to federal rules permitting employer-sponsored wellness programs that seek to improve co-worker health or prevent disease, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008, and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as applicable, among others. If you choose to participate in the wellness program you will be asked to complete a voluntary biometric screening, which will include a blood test for low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and fasting blood glucose levels; physical biometric measurements to include height, weight, waist circumference, and blood pressure; and a cotinine test to measure nicotine in your blood if you attest to be a non-tobacco user. You are not required to participate in the biometric screening or other medical examinations.
However, co-workers who choose to participate in the wellness program will avoid paying an additional health insurance premium for participating in the biometric screening, meeting or improving from the previous year’s biometric screening results, and/or being nicotine free. “Meeting or improving” is defined as achieving the benchmark (“meeting”) or improving from the previous year’s result (“improving”) in at least four of the six health measures identified as Key Health Indicators. These include LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, blood pressure, and waist circumference. Although you are not required to participate in the biometric screening, only co-workers who do so will become eligible to receive the preferred premium rate listed above.
Additional incentives of up to $300.00 per calendar year may be available for co-workers who participate in certain the Healthy Rewards program, including health coaching or health-related activities. If you are unable to participate in any of the health-related activities or achieve any of the health outcomes required to earn an incentive, you may be entitled to a reasonable accommodation or an alternative standard. You may request a reasonable accommodation or an alternative standard by contacting Andi Dean, Health Coach, at 717-293-4516 or adean@high.net.
The information from the results of your biometric screening will be used to provide you with information to help you understand your current health and potential risks, and may also be used to offer you services through the wellness program, such as health coaching and programs or group sessions specific to health conditions. You also are encouraged to share your results or concerns with your own doctor.
High is required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your personally identifiable health information. Although the wellness program and High may use aggregate information it collects to design a program based on identified health risks in the workplace, HHMP will never disclose any of your personal information either publicly or to the employer, except as necessary to respond to a request from you for a reasonable accommodation needed to participate in the wellness program, or as expressly permitted by law. Medical information that personally identifies you that is provided in connection with the wellness program will not be provided to any co-worker of High, including your supervisors or managers and may never be used to make decisions regarding your employment.
Your health information will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or otherwise disclosed except to the extent permitted by law to carry out specific activities related to the wellness program, and you will not be asked or required to waive the confidentiality of your health information as a condition of participating in the wellness program or receiving an incentive. Anyone who receives your information for purposes of providing you services as part of the wellness program will abide by the same confidentiality requirements. The only individual(s) who will receive your personally identifiable health information are personnel of Innovu, a third party data analytics firm, for the purpose of securely storing biometric screening data, personnel of Lancaster General Health and/or Health Advocate for the purposes of performing biometric screenings, and other health professionals affiliated with the administration of programs provided by HHMP in order to provide you with services under the wellness program.
In addition, all medical information obtained through the wellness program will be maintained separate from your personnel records, information stored electronically will be securely segregated, and no information you provide as part of the wellness program will be used in making any employment decision. All personally identifiable health information collected is not released to High except in the forms of an aggregate population health report and a co-worker census report summarizing individuals’ subject to an additional health insurance premium. Appropriate precautions will be taken to avoid any data breach, and in the event a data breach occurs involving information you provide in connection with the wellness program, we will notify you immediately.
You may not be discriminated against in employment because of the medical information you provide as part of participating in the wellness program, nor may you be subjected to retaliation if you choose not to participate.
If you have questions or concerns regarding this notice, or about protections against discrimination and retaliation, please contact Liz Ford at 1853 William Penn Way, Lancaster, PA 17602, 717-293-4453, lford@high.net.
On October 21, 1998 the federal government passed the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998. As part of our plan’s compliance with this Act, we are required to provide you with this annual notice outlining the coverage that this law requires our plan to provide.
Our group health plan has always provided coverage for medically-necessary mastectomies. This coverage includes procedures to reconstruct the breast on which the mastectomy was performed, as well as the cost of necessary prostheses (implants, special bras, etc.) and treatment of any physical complications resulting from any stage of the mastectomy. However, as a result of this federal law, the plan now provides coverage for surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to achieve a symmetrical appearance and any complications that could result from that surgery.
The following benefits must be provided if benefits are provided for a mastectomy:
1. Coverage for reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy is performed.
2. Coverage for surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance with the breast on which the mastectomy is performed.
3. Coverage for prostheses and physical complications resulting from any stage of the mastectomy, including lymphedemas.
These benefits are subject to the same deductible, copays and coinsurance that apply to mastectomy benefits under the plan.
Group health plans and health insurance issuers generally may not, under federal law, restrict benefits for a hospital stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to fewer than 48 hours following a vaginal delivery, or fewer than 96 hours following a cesarean section.
However, federal law generally does not prohibit the mother’s or newborn’s attending provider, after consulting with the mother, from discharging the mother or her newborn earlier than 48 hours (or 96 hours as applicable). In any case, plans and issuers may not under federal law require that a provider obtain authorization from the plan or the issuer for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours (or 96 hours).
Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with High Industries 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:
1. 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.
2. High Industries has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the High Industries Benefit Plan 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.
You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare and each year from October 15th through December 7th.
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 High Industries coverage will not be affected. Listed below are the High Industries Benefit Plan prescription drug benefits:
Deductible $125/$250 (applies to Brand Only)
Generic Prescription Drugs $8 Copayment $16 Copayment
Preferred Brand Prescription Drugs 20% Coinsurance ($30 min/$60max) 20% Coinsurance ($60 min/$120max)
Non-Preferred Brand Prescriptions Drugs 40% Coinsurance ($60 min/$120max) 40% Coinsurance ($120 min/$240max)
If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current High Industries coverage, be aware that you and your dependents may not be able to get this coverage back.
You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with High Industries 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 October to join.
