A SMARTER WAY TO BETTER HEALTH

It’s Your Health. Get Involved

Your health is a work in progress that needs your consistent attention and support. Each choice you make for yourself and your family is part of an ever-changing picture. Taking steps to improve your health such as going for annual physicals and living a healthy lifestyle can make a positive impact on your well-being. It’s up to you to take responsibility and get involved, and we are pleased to offer programs that will support your efforts and help you reach goals.

Preventative Health Care Services

Preventive care includes services like checkups, screenings and immunizations that can help you stay healthy and may help you avoid or delay health problems. Many serious conditions such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are preventable and treatable if caught early. It’s important for everyone to get the preventive care they need. Some examples of preventive care services are: o o o o

Immunizations

Understanding What’s Covered

Blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol tests Certain cancer screenings, such as mammograms, colonoscopies Counseling, screenings and vaccines to help ensure healthy pregnancies Regular well-baby and well-child visits

Some immunizations and vaccinations are also considered preventive care services. Standard immunizations recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Include: hepatitis A and B, diphtheria, polio, pneumonia, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus and influenza although these may be subject to age and/or frequency restrictions. Generally speaking, if a service is considered preventive care, it will be covered at 100%. If it’s not, it may still be covered subject to a copay, deductible or coinsurance. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that services considered preventive care be covered by your health plan at 100% in-network, without a copay, deductible or coinsurance. To get specifics about your plan’s preventive care coverage, call the customer service number on your member ID card. You may want to ask your doctor if the services you’re receiving at a preventive care visit (such as an annual checkup) are all considered standard preventive care. If any service performed at an annual checkup is as a result of a prior diagnosed condition, the office visit may not be processed as preventive and you may be responsible for a copay, coinsurance or deductible. To learn more about the ACA or preventive care and coverage, visit www.healthcare.gov. Spectra A&D Benefits Guide | 03

HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA) Administered by Flores Available only if you enrolled in the $3,200 high deductible health plan What is a Health Savings Account?

How Does an HSA Work?

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an account permitted under the federal tax law that allows you to save money for healthcare expenses on a tax-favored basis. It is an individual account that belongs to you and is not part of Spectra A&D’s medical plan. The account is portable, which means it is not tied to your employment at Spectra A&D. Your HSA stays with you if you retire or leave the company. Because the HSA has special tax status under the law, it is governed by numerous mandatory tax rules and regulations.

You fund the HSA with your dollars up to a certain limit each year by making a deposit directly into your HSA account. The account must be funded prior to any withdrawals. Then, as you have eligible qualified expenses, you may withdraw money from your HSA to pay expenses that are not otherwise paid by the health, dental or vision plans, e.g. your deductible or coinsurance. It’s up to you whether to use your HSA funds. You are not required to use the money, you may save it for the future and let it continue to accumulate. It’s important to understand that the HSA, unlike a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA), will not pay for qualified expenses that exceed the balance in the HSA.

How Do I Enroll in an HSA? This account must be set up prior to any contributions being made. It is your responsibility to verify your account set up so Human Resources can direct deposit contributions through payroll deductions. Once you are enrolled and contributing, Spectra A&D will bolster your savings by contributing matching dollars over the next 26 pay periods into your HSA Account:

What Type of Expenses Can Be Paid From an HSA? You can receive tax-free distributions from your HSA to pay for or to be reimbursed for qualified medical expenses that are incurred after you establish your HSA. These include: Any medical expenses that apply toward your deductible, Any healthcare expenses that are qualified expenses for tax purposes under Section 213 of the Internal Revenue Code. Some of these expenses are described in IRS Publication 502, Once your reach age 65, Medicare premiums or other health insurance, other than a Medicare supplemental policy.

▪ $3,000 HDHP Plan: • • • •

Employee Only Annual Max: $500 Employee + Spouse Annual Max: $750 Employee + Child Annual Max: $750 Family Annual Max: $1,000

Who is Eligible for an HSA?

When can I Begin Contributions to My HSA Account?

Generally, to be eligible to set up and contribute to an HSA, you:

You may begin funding your HSA account as soon as your account is established.

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

Loss of Other Coverage

Must be covered by a Consumer Directed Health Plan (CDHP) Cannot be claimed as a dependent on anyone else’s tax return Are not enrolled in Medicare (due to age or disability) or Tricare Cannot be enrolled in a general purpose FSA, nor can your spouse

You may find information about these rules on the IRS website (www.irs.gov), including IRS Publication 969 and 502. You may also want to consult a tax-advisor.

Can I Invest My HSA Funds? Depending upon who you choose to be your HSA custodian – there could be different options.

Can I Use The Money in My HSA for Anything Other Than Eligible Medical Expenses? You can withdraw your HSA at anytime and use it for any purpose; however, you will pay income taxes on the amount withdrawn, plus a 20% penalty. After age 65, the 20% penalty no longer applies.

How Much Can I Contribute to An HSA? As noted by federal law, the annual contribution limits are: ▪ ▪

The amount for 2024 is $4,150 for individual coverage and $8,300 for family coverage. Individuals age 55 or older may be eligible to make a catch-up contribution of $1,000.

HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ARRANGEMENT (HRA) Administered by Flores An HRA is an employee benefit that is provided by Spectra A&D at no cost to the employees covered under the Cigna Base Traditional plan. Spectra A&D provides the HRA to assist employees with paying for substantial medical expenses that may arise. The HRA will reimburse participants for expenses which are covered by the Cigna medical plan. Once you incur an eligible medical expense you are eligible for reimbursement.

Spectra A&D Benefits Guide | 09


FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT (FSA) You may only enroll in a Limited Purpose FSA if you are contributing to an HSA. Administered by Flores Spectra A&D offers employees the opportunity to participate in the Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Dependent Care FSA. These programs may provide you with significant tax advantages as they allow you to pay for eligible out-of-pocket expenses with pre-tax dollars through payroll deductions.

Healthcare Flexible Spending Account You may defer up to $3,200 to your Healthcare FSA to fund eligible out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. The following list provides examples of expenses eligible for reimbursement under the IRS guidelines: • Non-covered medical expenses that quality under Section 217 of the IRS code • Deductibles • Office visit copays • Prescription medication • Over-the-counter medications (require physician prescription) • Hearing and dental expenses not covered by insurance Examples of non-eligible expenses include: cosmetic surgery, electrolysis, toiletries, vitamins, health club dues.

Limited Purpose Healthcare Flexible Spending Account You may defer up to $3,200 for eligible Dental and Vision expenses ONLY. Used for those who are also contributing to a Health Savings Account.

Dependent Care FSA You may defer up to $5,000 to your Dependent Care FSA to fund eligible out-of-pocket expenses for childcare and eldercare. To be eligible for reimbursement, expenses must meet the following criteria established by the IRS: ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪

The person cared for must be under age 13, or if older, physically or mentally incapable of self-care. Day care must be necessary in order for you and your spouse to work. The person cared for must be claimed as a dependent on your federal tax return and must reside in your home at least eight hours per day. Payment for care cannot be made to anyone you claim as a dependent on your income tax return, to your spouse or to a child under age 19. If care is provided by a center that cares for more than six individuals, it must be licensed.

For a complete list of eligible medical and dependent care expenses, you may access publications #502 (healthcare) and #503 (dependent care) on the web at www.irs.gov. Spectra A&D Benefits Guide | 10

Employees wishing to apply for coverage above $100,000 will need to seek approval for this coverage by completing an Evidence of Insurability (EOI) form, where they will answer a series of simple health questions for Guardian underwriting to review. Benefits reduce to 65% of the elected benefit at age 65. Spouse: Increments of $5,000 up to $500,000, not to exceed employee amount. The guarantee issue amount is $50,000.

SPECIAL OPEN ENROLLMENT RIGHTS This notice is being provided to ensure that you understand your right to apply for group health insurance coverage. A special enrollment period is a time outside of the annual open enrollment period during which you and your family have a right to sign up for health coverage. In the Marketplace, you qualify for a special enrollment period 60 days following certain life events that involve a change in family status (for example, marriage or birth of a child) or loss of other health coverage. Job-based plans must provide a special enrollment period of 30 days. Some events will require additional documentation to be submitted with the application at the time of enrollment.

If you or your dependents lose eligibility for coverage under Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) or become eligible for a premium assistance subsidy under Medicaid or CHIP, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. You must request enrollment within 60 days of the loss of Medicaid or CHIP coverage or the determination of eligibility for a premium assistance subsidy. To request special enrollment or obtain more information, please contact HR. Spectra A&D Benefits Guide | 20


IMPORTANT INFORMATION COBRA Continuation of Coverage The right to COBRA continuation coverage was created by a federal law, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA). COBRA continuation coverage can become available to you and other members of your family when group health coverage would otherwise end. For more information about your rights and obligations under the Plan and under federal law, you should review the Plan’s Summary Plan Description or contact the Plan Administrator. For additional information regarding COBRA qualifying events, how coverage is provided and actions required to participate in COBRA coverage, please see your Human Resources department. Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act The group health coverage provided complies with the Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act of 1996. Under this law group health plans and health insurance issuers generally may not, under federal law, restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn to less than 48 hours following a vaginal delivery, or less 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 insurance issuer for prescribing a length of stay not in excess of 48 hours (or 96 hours). Premium Assistance under Medical and CHIP If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program) and you are eligible for health coverage from your employer, your State may have a premium assistance program that can help you pay for coverage. These States use funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs to help people who are eligible for employersponsored health coverage but need assistance in paying their health premiums. If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP you can contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available. If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, you can contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, you can ask the State if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan. Please see Human Resources for a list of state Medicaid or CHIP offices to find out more about premium assistance. Special Enrollment Events An Eligible Person and/or Dependent may also be able to enroll during a special enrollment period. A special enrollment period is not available to an Eligible Person and his or her dependents if coverage under the prior plan was terminated for cause, or because premiums were not paid on a timely basis. An Eligible Person and/or Dependent does not need to elect COBRA continuation coverage to preserve special enrollment rights. Special enrollment is available to an Eligible Person and/or Dependent even if COBRA is elected. Please be aware that most special enrollment events require action within 30 days of the event. Please see Human Resources for a list of special enrollment opportunities and procedures. Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act If you have had or are going to have a mastectomy , you may be entitled to certain benefits under the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 (WHCRA). For individuals receiving mastectomy-related benefits, coverage will be provided in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, for: All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed; Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; and Prostheses and treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedemas. These benefits will be provided subject to deductibles and coinsurance applicable to other medical and surgical benefits provided under this plan.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION GINA The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) prohibits health benefit plans from discriminating on the basis of genetic information in regards to eligibility, premium and contributions. This generally also means that private employers with more than 15 employees, its health plan or “business associate” of the employer, cannot collect or use genetic information, (including family medical history information). The once exception would be that a minimum amount of genetic testing results make be used to make a determination regarding a claim. You should know that GINA is treated as protected health information (PHI) under HIPAA. The plan must provide that an employer cannot request or require that you reveal whether or not you have had genetic testing; nor can your employer require that you participate in a genetic test. An employer cannot use any genetic information to set contribution rates or premiums. PPACA Compliant Plan Notice Since key parts of the health care law took effect in 2014, there is a new way to buy health insurance: the Health Insurance Marketplace. To assist you as you evaluate options for you and your family, this notice provides some basic information about the new Marketplace and employment based health coverage offered by your employer. If your employer offers health coverage that meets the “minimum value” plan standard, you will not be eligible for a tax credit through the Marketplace and may wish to enroll in your employer’s health plan. The “minimum value” plan standard is set by the Affordable Care Act. Your health plans offered by [Company] are ACA compliant plans (surpassing the “minimum value” standard), thus you would not be eligible for the tax credit offered to those who do not have access to such a plan. NOTE: If you purchase a health plan through the marketplace instead of accepting health coverage offered by your employer, then you will lose the employer contribution to the employer offered coverage. Also, this employer contribution, as well as your employee contribution to employer offered coverage, is excluded from income for Federal and State income tax purposed. USERRA Notice The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) established requirements that employers must meet for certain employees who are involved in the uniformed services. In addition to the rights that you have under COBRA, you (the employee) are entitled under USERRA lo continue the coverage that you (and your covered dependents, if any) had under the [Company] plan. You Have Rights Under Both COBRA and USERRA. Your rights under COBRA and USERRA are similar but not identical. Any election that you make pursuant to COBRA will also be an election under USERRA, and COBRA and USERRA will both apply with respect to the continuation coverage elected. If COBRA and USERRA give you different rights or protections, the law that provides the greater benefit will apply. The administrative policies and procedures described in the attached COBRA Election Notice also apply to USERRA coverage, unless compliance with the procedures is precluded by military necessity or is otherwise impossible or unreasonable under the circumstances. Definitions "Uniformed services" means the Armed Forces, the Army National Guard, and the Air National Guard when an individual is engaged in active duty for training, inactive duty training, or full-time National Guard duty (i.e., pursuant to orders issued under federal law), the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service, and any other category of persons designated by the President in time of war or national emergency. "Service in the uniformed services" or "service" means the performance of duty on a voluntary or involuntary basis in the uniformed services under competent authority, including active duty, active and inactive duty for training, National Guard duty under federal statute, a period for which a person is absent from employment for an examination to determine his or her fitness to perform any of these duties, and a period for which a person is absent from employment to perform certain funeral honors duty. It also includes certain service by intermittent disaster response appointees of the National Disaster Medical System.

IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT YOUR PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE & MEDICARE CREDITABLE Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with Spectra A&D 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.

Spectra A&D has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the Cignal plans are, 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 October 15th to 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 Spectra A&D coverage will not be affected. Please review prescription drug coverage plan provisions/options under the certificate booklet provided by Cigna. See pages 7- 9 of the CMS Disclosure of Creditable Coverage To Medicare Part D Eligible Individuals Guidance which outlines the prescription drug plan provisions/ options that Medicare eligible individuals may have available to them when they become eligible for Medicare Part D. If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Spectra A&D coverage, be aware that you and your dependents may not be able to get this coverage back.

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 Spectra A&D 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. For more information about this notice or your current prescription drug coverage, contact your carrier. NOTE: You’ll get this notice each year. You will also get it before the next period you can join a Medicare drug plan, and if this coverage through Spectra A&D changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time. More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare & You” handbook. You’ll get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare drug plans. For more information about Medicare prescription drug coverage Visit www.medicare.gov. Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see the inside back cover of your copy of the “Medicare & You” handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-6334227). TTY users should call 1-877-486- 2048. If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage is available. For information about this extra help, visit Social Security on the web at www.socialsecurity.gov, or call them at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). Remember: Keep this Creditable Coverage notice. If you decide to join one of the Medicare drug plans, you may be required to provide a copy of this notice when you join to show whether or not you have maintained creditable coverage and, therefore, whether or not you are required to pay a higher premium (a penalty).

HEALTH INSURANCE MARKETPLACE PART A: GENERAL INFORMATION To assist you as you evaluate options for you and your family, this notice provides some basic information about the Marketplace and employment-based health coverage offered by your employer.

What is the Health Insurance Marketplace? The Marketplace is designed to help you find health insurance that meets your needs and fits your budget. The Marketplace offers “one-stop shopping” to find and compare private health insurance options. You may also be eligible for a new kind of tax credit that lowers your monthly premium right away. Open enrollment for health insurance coverage through the Marketplace runs from November 1, 2022 through December 15, 2022 for coverage starting as early as January 1, 2023.

Can I Save Money on my Health Insurance Premiums in the Marketplace? You may quality to save money and lower your monthly premium, but only if our employer does not offer coverage, or offers coverage that doesn’t meet certain standards. The savings on your premium that you’re eligible for depends on your household income.

Does Employer Health Coverage Affect Eligibility for Premium Savings Through the Marketplace? Yes. If you have an offer of health coverage from your employer that meets certain standards, you will not be eligible for a tax credit through the Marketplace and may wish to enroll in your employer’s health plan. However, you may be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly premium, or a reduction in certain cost-sharing if your employer does not offer coverage to you at all or does not offer coverage that meets certain standards. If the cost of a plan from your employer that would cover you (and not any other members of your family) is more than 9.5% of your household income for the year, or if the coverage your employer provides does not meet the “minimum value” standard set by the Affordable Care Act, you may be eligible for a tax credit.

!

If you purchase a health plan through the Marketplace instead of accepting health coverage by your employer, then you may lose the employer contribution (if any) to the employer-offered coverage. Also, this employer contribution – as well as your employee contribution to employer-offered coverage – is often excluded from income for Federal and State income tax purposes. Your payments for coverage through the Marketplace are made on an alter-tax basis.

How Can I Get More Information? For more information about your coverage offered by your employer, please check your summary plan description or contact Human Resources. The Marketplace can help you evaluate your coverage options, including your eligibility for coverage through the Marketplace and its cost. Please visit www.healthcare.gov for more information, including an online application for health insurance coverage and contact information for a Health Insurance Marketplace in your area.

HEALTH INSURANCE TERMINOLOGY Health insurance terminology can be confusing. As a result, understanding your benefits and what you may owe out of pocket can be difficult. In order to make sure you are using your coverage effectively, it is important to understand some key insurance terms. You can purchase either group or individual health insurance. Group health insurance is typically acquired through your employer and covers many people. Individual insurance, on the other hand, is usually purchased by an individual or a family and is not tied to a job. To better understand your health insurance, be aware of the following terms: Participant There are a few different participants involved in health insurance. One is the “provider”, or a clinic, hospital, doctor lab, health care practitioner or pharmacy. The ”insurer” or the “carrier” is the insurance company providing coverage. The “policyholder” is the individual or entity who purchased the coverage, and the “insured” is the person with the coverage”. Premium The amount of money charged by an insurance company for coverage. Rates are typically paid annually or in smaller payments over the course of the year (for example monthly). Deductible The amount you owe for health care services each year before your insurance company begins to pay. Your deductible may not apply to all services, such as preventive care.

Copayment The fixed amount that you pay for a covered health care service. That amount can vary by the type of covered health care service (for example, a doctor’s office visit or a specialist, urgent care or emergency room visit). Coisurance

20%

80%

You Pay Health Plan Pays

The percentage of a medial bill that you pay (for example, 20 percent) and the percentage that the health plan pays (for example, 80 percent). You pay coinsurance plus any deductible you owe for a covered health service.

Out-of-pocket maximum (OOPM) The most you should have to pay for health care during a year, excluding the monthly premium. After you reach the annual OOPM, your plan begins to pay 100 percent of the allowed amount for covered health services.
