Making Changes to Coverage Once an employee has enrolled in the Tulsa County health plans, these enrollment selections remain in effect until the next annual open enrollment unless a qualifying event occurs. If an employee experiences a qualifying event, they can make changes to their benefit plans, outside of open enrollment. For all qualifying events, an employee has 31 days from the date of the event to submit documentation to Human Resources. In addition to the documentation to support the qualifying event, enrollment forms will need to be completed and submitted to Human Resources within 31 days of the date of the event. If the Human Resources office does not receive both the required documentation and the completed enrollment forms within 31 days of the qualifying event date, the request to make changes to the benefit plan will be denied. Qualifying event changes include, but are not limited to: • Change in number of eligible dependents due to: birth of a child, adoption of a child, or court appointed legal guardianship of a child. • Change in marital status: marriage, divorce, or death of a spouse. • Change in service area. • Change in insurance coverage: loss of coverage or gain of coverage through another insurance plan.

Medical Plan – CommunityCare Tulsa County offers comprehensive major medical coverage through Community Care of Oklahoma. All of the medical plans offered cover the same type of health care expenses, such as doctor’s office visits, preventive care, hospitalization, and prescription drugs.

Medical Plans

Tulsa County offers the following plans: • IDEA PLUS 1C ($750) HMO: Tulsa County, Health Department, TAEMA, Drainage District 12, Public Defenders, Law Library & TCPFA (Expo Square).

Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs)

With HMOs, the plan covers only those services you receive from HMO network providers. This means you and your covered dependents must use HMO providers to receive plan benefits. (The only exception is in the event of a life threatening emergency). If you receive non-emergency care outside of the HMO’s network, your care will not be covered. HMOs generally have lower out-of-pocket costs than other medical plans, and there are no claim forms to file. For more information on HMOs, refer to the Community Care booklet.

*You are responsible for this copay and if the deductible has not been completely satisfied, you are also responsible for payment for the balance of the services. These payments will count toward satisfying the deductible. As you get close to meeting the deductible requirement, a claim for services you receive could split between the remainder of the deductible and the copays for the beginning of the standard benefit level. If this occurs, you may be responsible for the copay required as part of the standard benefit level. This is a brief overview of benefits, not a guarantee of coverage. Please refer to your Member Handbook for detailed coverage information. 11

The HMO plans have a prescription deductible of $100 per member or $200 per family per calendar year. Please note that quantity limits or prior authorization rules may apply. Refer to your prescription drug formulary guide for additional information. If the cost of the prescription is less than the applicable copay, you will only be charged the cost of the prescription.

Retail Prescription Plan

Prescriptions you fill at a non-participating pharmacy or prescriptions written by a non-network provider are generally not covered. If you have a chronic condition and take specialty medications, you may purchase up to a 30-day supply for each prescription.

Short-Term Disability (STD) • If you are enrolled in short-term disability and need time off work, due to a disability, you must complete disability claim paperwork and submit to Voya. Please note: There is never a guarantee of approval on a medical claim. All claims are subject to review by Voya’s medical underwriting department. • If the claim is approved by VOYA, the plan will pay benefits not to exceed 50% of your average monthly earnings. • Disability payments will be sent to the claimant in the amount of 50% of the normal rate of pay, up to a maximum of $1500 per week. • Benefits will begin to pay after 14 consecutive days of disability (elimination period). • You may use your personal and/or vacation hours during the elimination period. • Once you begin to receive your disability payments, you may continue to use your personal leave and vacation hours, not to exceed 100% of your gross pay. • Benefit payments will cover up to 11 weeks of disability. • If you are a late entrant, VOYA will require that you complete an Evidence of Insurability (EOI). • For late entrants, if you were diagnosed with a condition three months prior to your effective date of coverage, the condition will not be covered for the first 12 months.

Calculating Premium To calculate your monthly payroll deduction, use the formula indicated below: 1. Enter your average monthly income, not to exceed $13,333 on line 1

Line 1: _________

2. Multiply line 1 with the STD rate of $0.0051

Long-Term Disability (LTD) There are two different levels of long-term disability coverage. Both plans are designed to help protect your income in the event you are unable to work due to a disability. The first option, called the Base LTD Plan, replaces up to 50% of your base pay up to a maximum of $3,000 per month, has a 24-month benefit duration, and is fully paid by Tulsa County. The Buy-Up LTD Plan premiums are paid by the employee, and the duration of coverage is longer (up to age 65 years old). All benefit eligible employees are automatically enrolled into the Base LTD plan. Please refer to plan documents for plan limitations and exclusions. Base LTD Plan

Coverage under the Buy-Up LTD would last up to age 65 years old. • If you are a late entrant into this plan, you will be required to complete an Evidence of Insurability form (EOI) and submit to VOYA. • For late entrants, if you were diagnosed with a condition three months prior to your effective date of coverage, the condition will not be covered for the first 12 months.

Buy-Up LTD Plan Premium Rates

If you elect the Buy-Up LTD Plan, your monthly premium rate for this plan is indicated in the table below. If you do not enroll in the Buy-Up LTD Plan, you will automatically be insured under the Base LTD Plan with no premium cost to you.

With BOK Financial, your plan provides you with added advantages not found in traditional supplemental retirement programs. Why you should participate in the 457(b) Deferred Compensation Program: • The money you contribute to deferred comp comes out of your paycheck on a pretax basis. This lowers your taxable income and can provide higher growth potential because of the tax deferral. • Participating in the plan is easy - contributions are automatically deducted from your paycheck before taxes are taken and sent automatically to your account. You decide how much to contribute, what to invest it in, and how to use the money when you leave employment or retire from your employment. • It’s flexible - increase or decrease contributions and change investment options at any time • You can withdraw your money upon separation of service, whether you retire or not, without penalty. (Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax.) • You will receive personal attention from BOSC, Inc.’s Senior Financial Consultants up, to, and throughout retirement. BOSC, Inc. is a subsidiary of BOK Financial. The 457(b) Deferred Compensation plan is a simple approach to enjoy the benefits of long term investing.

Post-Employment Health Plan (PEHP) The Post Employment Health Plan (PEHP) is a unique benefit plan designed to allow Tulsa County employees to set aside money for healthcare costs, after they separate employment with Tulsa County. This benefit will reimburse medical insurance premiums as well as the out-of-pocket cost of qualified medical expenses such as prescription drugs, physician co-pays, dental and vision expenses. After an employee has completed twelve months of employment as a full time employee, Tulsa County contributes $40 per month into the Universal Account and 2% of an employee’s base salary into the Medical Premium account of the PEHP. Employees can invest the funds in their PEHP accounts and may do so through Bank of Oklahoma. The principal advantage to the employee, their spouse and their qualified dependents is that the amounts contributed to the program by the employer, investment earnings on the contributions, and the amounts distributed to them for the reimbursement of qualified medical expenses (as determined by IRC213(d) are free from federal income tax and FICA taxes. TASC administers the Post-Employment Health Plan (PEHP) claims for Tulsa County. Their contact information is listed in the directory of this benefits guide if you wish to obtain more information on the PEHP claims process.

Employee General Notices Initial Notice of your HIPAA Special Enrollment Rights Our records show that you are eligible to participate in Tulsa County Group Benefits (to actually participate, you must complete an enrollment form and pay part of the premium through payroll deduction). A federal law called HIPAA requires that we notify you about an important provision in the plan - your right to enroll in the plan under its “special enrollment provision” if you acquire a new dependent, or if you decline coverage under this plan for yourself or an eligible dependent while other coverage is in effect and later lose that other coverage for certain qualifying reasons.

Loss of Other Coverage (Excluding Medicaid or a State Children’s Health Insurance Program).

If you decline enrollment for yourself or for an eligible dependent (including your spouse) while other health insurance or group health plan coverage is in effect, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing toward you or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after you or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer stops contributing toward the other coverage).

Loss of Coverage for Medicaid or a State Children’s Health Insurance Program.

If you decline enrollment for yourself or for an eligible dependent (including your spouse) while Medicaid coverage or coverage under a state children’s health insurance program is in effect, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage. However, you must request enrollment within 60 days after your or your dependents’ coverage ends under Medicaid or a state children’s health insurance program.

New Dependent by Marriage, Birth, Adoption, or Placement for Adoption.

If you have a new dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your new dependents. However, you must request enrollment within 30 days after the marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption.

Eligibility for Medicaid or a State Children’s Health Insurance Program.

If you or your dependents (including your spouse) become eligible for a state premium assistance subsidy from Medicaid or through a state children’s health insurance program with respect to coverage under this plan, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan. However, you must request enrollment within 60 days after you or your dependents’ determination of eligibility for such assistance. *If you decline enrollment for yourself or for an eligible dependent, you must submit a signed statement to decline coverage. You are required to state that coverage under another group health plan or other health insurance coverage (including Medicaid or a state children’s health insurance program) is the reason for declining enrollment. If you do not complete the form, you and your dependents will not be entitled to special enrollment rights upon a loss of other coverage as described above. To request special enrollment or to obtain more information about the plan’s special enrollment provisions, contact your HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT. 35


Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) 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 states of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed. • Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance. • Prostheses. • Treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedema. These benefits will be provided subject to the same deductibles and coinsurance applicable to other medical and surgical benefits provided under this plan. If you would like more information on WHCRA benefits, call your Human Resources Department.

Dependents to Age 26

Due to a change in the laws governing your employer’s Group Health Plan, your children generally can be covered under the Plan until they attain age 26, regardless of their student or marital status and regardless of whether your home is their principal place of abode or whether you support them. The dependents are eligible for coverage regardless of eligibility on another employer group health plan.

Mental Health Parity

According to the Mental Health Parity Act of 1996, the lifetime maximum and annual maximum dollar limits for mental health benefits under the Tulsa County Group Health Plan are equal to the lifetime maximum and annual maximum dollar limits for medical and surgical benefits under this plan. However, mental health benefits may be limited to a maximum number of treatment days per year or series per lifetime.

Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA)

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) applies to the Tulsa County Group Health Plan. This new law establishes a basic uniform national standard to protect the public from discrimination based on genetic information.

Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act (NMHPA)

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 child 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).

General Notice of COBRA Continuation Coverage Rights Introduction

You’re getting this notice because you recently gained coverage under a group health plan (the Plan). This notice has important information about your right to COBRA continuation coverage, which is a temporary extension of coverage under the Plan. This notice explains COBRA continuation coverage, when it may become available to you and your family, and what you need to do to protect your right to get it. When you become eligible for COBRA, you may also become eligible for other coverage options that may cost less than COBRA continuation 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. You may have other options available to you when you lose group health coverage. For example, you may be eligible to buy an individual plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace. By enrolling in coverage through the Marketplace, you may qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums and lower out-ofpocket costs. Additionally, you may qualify for a 30-day special enrollment period for another group health plan for which you are eligible (such as a spouse’s plan), even if that plan generally doesn’t accept late enrollees.

What is COBRA continuation coverage?

COBRA continuation coverage is a continuation of Plan coverage when it would otherwise end because of a life event. This is also called a “qualifying event”. Specific qualifying events are listed later in this notice. After a qualifying event, COBRA continuation coverage must be offered to each person who is a “qualified beneficiary”. You, your spouse and your dependent children could become qualified beneficiaries if coverage under the Plan is lost because of the qualifying event. Under the Plan, qualified beneficiaries who elect COBRA continuation coverage must pay for COBRA continuation coverage. If you’re an employee, you’ll become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the Plan because of the following qualifying events: • Your hours of employment are reduced, or • Your employment ends for any reason other than your gross misconduct. If you’re the spouse of an employee, you’ll become a qualified beneficiary if you lose your coverage under the Plan as the result of any of the following qualifying events: • • • • •

Your spouse dies. Your spouse’s hours of employment are reduced. Your spouse’s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct. Your spouse becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both). You become divorced or legally separated from your spouse.

37


When is COBRA continuation coverage available? The Plan will offer COBRA continuation coverage to qualified beneficiaries only after the Plan Administrator has been notified that a qualifying event has occurred. The employer must notify the Plan Administrator of the following qualifying events: • The end of employment or reduction of hours of employment. • Death of the employee. • COBRA coverage can be extended beyond 18 months: • If Commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy with respect to the employer. • If the employee’s becoming entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both). For all other qualifying events (divorce or legal separation of the employee and spouse or a dependent child’s losing eligibility for coverage as a dependent child), you must notify the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the qualifying event occurs.

How is COBRA continuation coverage provided? Once the Plan Administrator receives notice that a qualifying event has occurred, COBRA continuation coverage will be offered to each of the qualified beneficiaries. Each qualified beneficiary will have an independent right to elect COBRA continuation coverage. Covered employees may elect COBRA continuation coverage on behalf of their spouses, and parents may elect COBRA continuation coverage on behalf of their children. COBRA continuation coverage is a temporary continuation of coverage that generally lasts for 18 months due to employment termination or reduction of hours of work. Certain qualifying events, or a second qualifying event during the initial period of coverage, may permit a beneficiary to receive a maximum of 36 months of coverage. • If you or anyone in your family covered under the Plan is determined by Social Security to be disabled and you notify the Plan Administrator in a timely fashion, you and your entire family may be entitled to get up to an additional 11 months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a maximum of 29 months. The disability would have to have started at some time before the 60th day of COBRA continuation coverage and must last at least until the end of the 18-month period of COBRA continuation coverage. • If your family experiences another qualifying event during the 18 months of COBRA continuation coverage, the spouse and dependent children in your family can get up to 18 additional months of COBRA continuation coverage, for a maximum of 36 months, if the Plan is properly notified about the second qualifying event. This extension may be available to the spouse and any dependent children getting COBRA continuation coverage if the employee or former employee dies; becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both); gets divorced or legally separated; or if the dependent child stops being eligible under the Plan as a dependent child. This extension is only available if the second qualifying event would have caused the spouse or dependent child to lose coverage under the Plan had the first qualifying event not occurred.

38


Are there other coverage options besides COBRA Continuation Coverage? Yes. Instead of enrolling in COBRA continuation coverage, there may be other coverage options for you and your family through the Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid, or other group health plan coverage options (such as a spouse’s plan) through what is called a “special enrollment period”. Some of these options may cost less than COBRA continuation coverage. You can learn more about many of these options at www.healthcare.gov. If you have questions: Questions concerning your Plan or your COBRA continuation coverage rights should be addressed to the contact or contacts identified below. For more information about your rights under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), including COBRA, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and other laws affecting group health plans, contact the nearest Regional or District Office of the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) in your area or visit www.dol.gov/ebsa.

Medicare Part D Notice 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 Tulsa County coverage will not be affected. You can keep this coverage if you elect Part D, but the group health plan will not coordinate with Part D coverage. If you do decide to join a Medicare drug plan and drop your current Community Care of Oklahoma coverage, be aware that you and your dependents will be able to get this coverage back only during open enrollment or a special enrollment event.

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 Tulsa County 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 the person listed below for further information. 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 Tulsa County changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time.

For More Information About Your Options Under Medicare Prescription Drug Coverage 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.

Premium Assistance Under Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children aren’t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligible for these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov. If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, 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, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office at 1-877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan. If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren’t already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272). If you live in Oklahoma, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. Contact your State for more information on eligibility.

Disclaimers

Some plans may not offer out of network benefits. If your plan offers out of network benefits, the amount the plan pays for covered services provided by non-network providers is based on a maximum allowable amount for the specific service rendered. Although your plan stipulates an out-of-pocket maximum for out-of-network services, please note the maximum allowed amount for an eligible procedure may not be equal to amount charged by your out-of-network provider. Your out of-network provider may bill you for the difference between the amount charged and the maximum allowed amount. This is called balance billing and the amount billed to you can be substantial. The out-of-pocket maximum outlined in your policy will not include amounts in excess of the allowable charge and other non-covered expenses as defined by your plan. The maximum reimbursable amount for non-network providers can be based on a number of schedules such as a percentage of reasonable and customary or a percentage of Medicare. The plan document or carrier’s master policy is the controlling document, and this Benefit Highlight does not include all of the terms, coverage, exclusions, limitations, and conditions of the actual plan language. Contact your claims payer or insurer for more information. This booklet gives you an overview of the main features of your benefit plans. The plans are administered according to legal plan documents and insurance contracts. Although we have tried to summarize the provisions of these legal documents clearly and accurately, if any information contained herein conflicts with the legal documents, the legal documents will govern. For more detailed information on the plans and your legal rights under the plans, be sure to read the summary plan descriptions or request a copy of the plan documents. All benefits are subject to change from time to time and Tulsa County reserve the right to amend or cancel any benefits described in this booklet, with or without notice.

ENROLLMENT GUIDE 2019 This guide highlights the main features of many of the benefit plans sponsored by Tulsa County. Full details of these plans are contained in the legal documents governing the plans. If there is any discrepancy between the plan documents and the information described here, the plan documents will govern. In all cases, the plan documents are the exclusive source for determining rights and benefits under the plans. Participation in the plans does not constitute an employment contract. Tulsa County reserves the right to modify, amend or terminate any benefit plan or practice described in this guide. Nothing in this guide guarantees that any new plan provisions will continue in effect for any period of time. In all events, the terms of the Plan as set forth in the Plan document govern and, as a result, no statements made outside of the Plan document, whether verbal or written, change or modify the terms of the Plan. The Plan can be amended only in writing and only by the Tulsa County Board of County Commissioners. Other than the Tulsa County Board of Commissioners or its authorized designee, no individual or entity has the authority to change the terms of the Plan or to commit to any benefit or benefit provisions not set forth in the terms of the Plan, including, but not limited to, changing the eligibility criteria for any benefit.
