Standard Plan members who receive in-person care at a BlueCross-affiliated patient-centered medical home (PCMH) provider will not be charged the $14 copayment for a physician's office visit. After Standard Plan and Savings Plan members meet their deductible, they will pay 10 percent coinsurance, rather than 20 percent, for care at a PCMH.

The $105 copayment for outpatient facility services is waived for physical therapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, dialysis services, partial hospitalizations, intensive outpatient services, electroconvulsive therapy and psychiatric medication management.

5 The $175 copayment for emergency care is waived if admitted.

7 Prescription drugs are not covered at out-of-network pharmacies.

8 With Express Scripts’ Patient Assurance Program, members in the Standard and Savings plans will pay no more than $25 for a 30-day supply of preferred and participating insulin products in 2022. This program is year to year and may not be available in the following year. It does not apply to Medicare members, who will continue to pay regular copays for insulin.

How much will you spend out of pocket on medical care?

The premium is automatic for all State Health Plan subscribers unless the subscriber certifies no one he covers uses tobacco or e-cigarettes, or covered individuals who use tobacco or e-cigarettes have completed the Quit For Life® tobacco cessation program.

The tobacco-use premium does not apply to TRICARE Supplement subscribers.

Your MoneyPlus elections

$

Are you leaving money on the table? MoneyPlus is a tax-favored accounts program that allows you to save money on eligible medical and dependent care costs. You fund the accounts with money deducted pretax from your paycheck. Learn more about your MoneyPlus options at peba.sc.gov/moneyplus.1 Medical Spending Account

Pretax Group Insurance Premium feature

Your Standard Plan works great with a Medical Spending Account (MSA). Use your MSA to pay for eligible medical expenses, including copayments and coinsurance. As you have eligible expenses, you can use a debit card for your account or submit claims for reimbursement. You can carry over into 2023 up to $550 in unused funds from your account. You forfeit funds over $550 left in your account after the reimbursement deadline. You must re-enroll each year.

This feature allows you to pay insurance premiums before taxes for health, vision, dental and up to $50,000 of Optional Life coverage. You do not need to re-enroll each year.

Dependent Care Spending Account You can use a Dependent Care Spending Account (DCSA) to pay for day care costs for children and adults. It cannot be used to pay for dependent medical care. You submit claims for reimbursement as you have eligible expenses.

The funds can be used only for expenses incurred January 1, 2022, through March 15, 2023. You forfeit funds left in your account after the reimbursement deadline. You must re-enroll each year.

Limited-use Medical Spending Account If you have a Health Savings Account (see Page 12), you can also use a Limited-use Medical Spending Account to pay for those expenses the Savings Plan does not cover, like dental and vision care. You can carry over into 2023 up to $550 in unused funds from your account.

You forfeit funds over $550 left in your account after the reimbursement deadline. You must re-enroll each year.

Here are some

Colonial Life’s frequently asked questions about disability insurance: Will my disability income payment be reduced if I have other insurance?

What if I change employers?

You’re paid regardless of any other insurance you may have with other insurance companies. Benefits are paid directly to you (unless you specify otherwise).

If you change jobs or leave your employer, you can take your coverage with you at no additional cost. Your coverage is guaranteed renewable as long as you continue to pay your premiums when they are due.

When am I considered totally disabled?

Can my premium change?

You may choose the amount of coverage to meet your needs (subject to your income). You can elect more or less coverage which will change your premium. Colonial Life can change your premium only if we change it on all policies of this kind in the state where your policy was issued.

Totally disabled means you are: l Unable to perform the material and substantial duties of your job; l Not working at any job; and l Under the regular and appropriate care of a doctor.

What is a covered accident or a covered sickness?

What if I want to return to work part-time after I am totally disabled?

A covered accident is an accident. A covered sickness means an illness, infection, disease or any other abnormal physical condition, not caused by an injury.

You may be able to return to work part-time and still receive benefits. We call this “Partial Disability.” This means you may be eligible for coverage if: l You are unable to perform the material and substantial duties of your job for more than 20 hours per week, l You are able to work at your job or your place of employment for 20 hours or less per week, l Your employer will allow you to return to your job or place of employment for 20 hours or less per week; and l You are under the regular and appropriate care of a doctor.

The total disability benefit must have been paid for at least one full month immediately prior to your being partially disabled.

A covered accident or covered sickness: l Occurs after the effective date of the policy; l Occurs while the policy is in force; l Is of a type listed on the Policy Schedule; and l Is not excluded by name or specific description in the policy.

EXCLUSIONS We will not pay benefits for injuries received in accidents or sicknesses which are caused by or are the result of: intoxication; aviation; giving birth within the first nine months after the effective date of the policy; felonies or illegal occupations; having a pre-existing condition as described and limited by the policy; mental or emotional disorders; committing or trying to commit suicide or injuring yourself intentionally; being exposed to war or a ny act of war or serving in the armed forces of any country or authority.

When do disability benefits end?

The Total Disability Benefit will end on the policy anniversary date on or after your 70th birthday.

The Hospital Confinement benefit increases when the Total Disability Benefit ends.

What is a pre-existing condition?

For cost and complete details, see your Colonial Life benefits counselor. Applicable to policy form ED DIS 1.0-SC Coverage may vary by state and may not be available in all states. This is not an insurance contract and only the actual policy provisions will control.

If you become disabled because of a pre-existing condition, Colonial Life will not pay for any disability period if it begins during the first 12 months the policy is in force.
