2017 Annual Enrollment Guide Active Employee Version 3

Welcome to 2017 Annual Enrollment

SABIC is committed to offering a comprehensive and affordable Health & Welfare Benefits Program to its employees. Annual Enrollment offers an opportunity to take advantage of this valuable coverage. The Annual Enrollment period is November 14 – November 29, 2016. Now is the time to review your current benefits coverage and determine what benefits will provide the best coverage for you and your family in the coming year. If you do not actively enroll, you will default to your current coverages. However, Flexible Spending Account (FSA) contributions will not default. If you want to make contributions to the Health Care and/or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts for 2017, you must make an active election.

During Annual Enrollment, you may elect coverage under the following plans:

Medical/Prescription Drug

Health Savings Account (for SABIC Plan for Health)

Dental

Vision

Life Insurance*

Dependent Life Insurance*

Accidental Death and Dismemberment

Flexible Spending Accounts

Long-Term Disability**

Long-Term Care*

* These benefits require Medical Evidence of Insurability (MEOI), satisfactory to the applicable Insurance

Company. ** If elections require MEOI, you will be prompted during enrollment.

Contribution amounts are listed in the Appendix of this document. Keep in mind if your annual pay changes, your contributions may also change during the plan year.

What’s changing for 2017?

For more details on the changes or additional plan clarifications please review the Summary Material Modification section of this guide starting on page 26.

Medical Plans

Applies to Health Care Preferred, SABIC Plan for Health Option A and Option B

Telemedicine

A benefit is available for telemedicine through the health plan administrators. For Anthem participants the service is www.livehealthonline.com, for UHC, the service is available on the Health4Me App that is on the www.myuhc.com website. CDPHP participants should consider either the Anthem or UHC programs until CDPHP has developed their own telemedicine provider. For CDPHP, the participant will need to submit the claim to CDPHP.

If you are a participant in the Health Care Preferred Plan, there will be an $8 copay after the deductible. For participants in SABIC Plan for Health Option A or B the cost of the service is applied to the deductible.

The cost of a Telemedicine visit is approximately ½ the cost of a low level visit to your primary care physician.

If a participant uses a non-participating provider, the participant will need to bill their health plan.

Center of Excellence (COE)

Currently there is a COE benefit for Transplants that includes a $10,000 Travel and Lodging Benefit for eligible participants. Effective Plan Year 2017 additional programs for COE such as Bariatric Surgery, Cancer, Congenital Health Disease and Spine and Joint conditions has been added to the COE benefit. Participants will need prior authorization and may be required to be engaged in a Case Management program in order to receive the enhanced benefit.

Health Care Preferred participants will have $0 copay for inpatient services after the deductible is applied. SABIC Plan for Health Option A & B participants will have 100% coverage after the deductible is met.

Each health plan administrator will process the Travel & Lodging Benefit. Full details of the Travel and

2017 Annual Enrollment Guide Active Employee Version 4

Lodging Benefit will be available from the health plan. The Travel and Lodging Benefit will be for the employee and one other person. There are limits and restrictions in order to have the reimbursements paid.

Participants of the SABIC Medical Plans should consult with the health plan to verify if the COE program fits the medical condition, they have.

In and Out of Network Deductibles and Out of Pocket Amounts

Effective Plan Year 2017, deductibles and out of pocket amounts will no longer cross apply. This means deductible or out of pocket amounts applied to in network services will not cross apply to out of network deductible or out of pocket amounts. Any out of network deductible or out of pocket amounts will not apply to in network deductible or out of pocket amounts.

Spinal Manipulations

SABIC Medical Plan Options has a limit on spinal manipulations. The limit is 15 visits for the code of spinal manipulations for combined in and out of network services.

Transsexual Surgery

The exclusion for Transsexual Surgery will be removed effective January 1, 2017. Participants should verify with the health plan administrator prior to any services being rendered to review covered services and obtain any prior authorizations.

Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA)

Services for Applied Behavioral Analysis will be provided for covered participants if criteria is met. Participants should verify with the administrator prior to any services being rendered to review covered services and obtain any prior authorizations. Participants enrolled in Health Care Preferred should check with Beacon Health Options and participants enrolled in SABIC Plan for Health Option A or Option B should check with their health plan administrator for additional information.

The $150 would also be available to one enrolled dependent/spouse over the age of 18. For an employee enrolled in a family plan (2 or more enrollees) there is a maximum of $300.

The process to earn the incentive will be contingent on the completion of the Health Assessment at the ActiveHealth website (www.myactivehealth.com/sabic) during the calendar year of January 1 to December 31, 2017. If the Health Assessment is not completed, incentives will not be paid.

The process to earn a $75 incentive will be to complete and report the claim number and date of service for your Annual Physical on the ActiveHealth website (www.myactivehealth.com/sabic).

SABIC Plan for Health Option A and Option B

Health Savings Account (HSA)

The IRS determines the amount allowed each year that an individual could contribute to a Health Savings Account. For plan year 2017, the maximum annual amount that can be contributed to a Health Savings Account (HSA) is increased to $3,400 for an individual and unchanged at $6,750 for family.

CDPHP will be offered in the Capital District of NY (Albany NY area) as a health administrator for SABIC Plan for Health Option A or B. Employees can elect CDPHP as the administrator for Option A or B and use the same network of physicians and hospitals as the Health Care Preferred plan administered by CDPHP. CDPHP will use the BenefitWallet bank for the Health Savings Account (HSA). Employees will have the option of selecting Anthem or CDPHP to administer the SABIC Plan for Health Option A and B for the Albany, NY area during Annual Enrollment.

Pharmacy

For all refills and new prescriptions, for routine maintenance drugs effective January 1, 2017, the scripts will be available exclusively by mail order. Participants will be notified by mail in late fall 2016 if the current prescriptions they are taking will be affected by the new requirement.

Express-Scripts will work with the participant to obtain a new 90-day prescription from the prescribing doctor to receive the script from mail order.

After January 1, 2017 if the participants fills the script at retail, Express-Scripts will send notification to the participant that they are required to use mail order. Express-Scripts will allow the script to be filled 2 times at retail, for the 3rd refill that is not filled at mail order, Express-Scripts will deny the claim and the member will be charged the full cost of the drug. The amount the participant has to pay will not be charged to their deductible or out of pocket amounts. The full cost of the drug will continue to be applied as long as the script is filled at a retail location.

2017 Annual Enrollment Guide Active Employee Version 6

qualified life status event (birth of child, other loss of coverage, etc.). No incentives will be available and Dental and Vision are not available to the intern/co-op.

Dental and Vision for Dependent Children

Eligibility for SABIC Dental and Vision Plans will be changed to allow coverage for valid dependents up to the end of the month they turn Age 26 regardless of student status. This will match the eligibility rules for SABIC Medical Plan Options.

Vision Plan

Basic Vision

A routine annual eye examination and a benefit for glasses/contacts has been added to the SABIC Basic Vision plan. There will be a $10 copay for the eye exam and an additional $10 copay for the glasses/contact annual benefit.

Making Changes During the Year You may add, delete or change coverage once each year during the Annual Enrollment period for an effective date of January 1. To make changes at any other time during the year you must have a qualified status change (marriage, birth of child, etc.) in order to change your coverage level. You have 63 days from the event date to make any changes. You will be required to provide necessary supporting documentation when making changes to your coverage (divorce papers, birth and marriage certificates, etc.) You can make these changes online at www.benefits.sabic-ip.com or by calling 1-877 SABIC US (1-877-722-4287).

Medical Plan Options for 2017 For 2017, SABIC employees may choose from three medical plans:

SABIC Plan for Health Option A

SABIC Plan for Health Option B

SABIC Health Care Preferred

2017 Annual Enrollment Guide Active Employee Version 7

SABIC Plan for Health

SABIC Plan for Health (SPFH) Options A and B combine a health plan with a health savings account (HSA) funded by you and SABIC with pre- and/or post-tax contributions. There is an opportunity to invest the funds through a bank associated with your health plan according to the investment options you choose. This means your money can grow year over year—allowing you to accumulate funds for future medical expenses. Medical plans with HSAs work differently than traditional medical plans. See the Appendix for important information about HSAs. You must actively enroll if you want to open a HSA—you can receive up to $650 (individual) and $1300 (family) incentive contributions to your HSA when you open an HSA with the bank affiliated with the SABIC Plan for Health administrator.

SABIC Health Care Preferred SABIC Health Care Preferred (SHCP) plan provides medical coverage through a network of providers. When you see your primary care physician and are referred to other providers within the SHCP network, care is covered at 100% after you satisfy a co-pay. Also, there is no deductible or co-pay for in-network preventive care services.

Wellness Incentives Available

The annual wellness incentive each active employee who is enrolled in a SABIC Medical Plan Options can earn up to $150 for Plan Year 2017. The $150 would also be available to one enrolled dependent/spouse over the age of 18. For an employee enrolled in a family plan (2 or more enrollees) there is a maximum of $300 available.

The process to earn the incentive will be contingent on the completion of the Health Assessment at the ActiveHealth website (www.myactivehealth.com/sabic) during the calendar year of January 1 to December 31, 2017. If the Health Assessment is not completed, incentives will not be paid.

The process to earn a $75 incentive will be to complete and report the claim number and date of service for your Annual Physical on the ActiveHealth website (www.myactivehealth.com/sabic).

To earn the additional $75 a participant must complete one of the following options:

Digital coaching on MyActiveHealth.com/sabic – complete 100 heartbeats ($75)

Telephonic coaching – complete 3 calls with ActiveHealth for either Active Lifestyle Coaching or Condition Management ($75)

Note: Members are limited to earning a maximum of 25 heartbeats per week on the Digital Coaching Program.

For participants of the Health Care Preferred plan, up to a total of $150 will be received as a reduction to the employee’s health care payroll contribution.

For participants of the SABIC Plan for Health Option A or B, up to a total of $150 will be deposited in the employee’s Health Savings Account. The account must be open to allow the deposit of the incentive.

2017 Annual Enrollment Guide Active Employee Version 13

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) can help you reduce the amount of income tax you owe. If you participate in the Health Care and/or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account(s), you can contribute a portion of your pay from each paycheck into the flexible spending account before taxes are taken out, which reduces your taxable income. You can then use the money in this account to pay for your out-of-pocket health care and/or dependent day care expenses as you incur them. (If you enroll in SABIC Plan for Health Option A or Option B, there will be an impact on how the FSA is used. Please see below for a description of the “Limited Purpose Health Care FSA” provided in combination with the SABIC Plan for Health.)

2017 Maximum Amount allowed per IRS for Health Care Flexible Spending Account is $2,550.

To see How Health Care FSAs help you save, log onto the SABIC Benefits Website at www.benefits.sabic-ip.com and access the estimating tool available while you enroll.

Limited Health Care Flexible Spending Account If you elect the SABIC Plan for Health Option A or B, there will be an impact on your Limited Purpose Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA). First and foremost, you can only use your FSA funds for dental and vision expenses. Here are some tips for using the HSA and FSA together:

Don’t put too much in your Limited Purpose Health Care FSA. Only contribute what you’re sure you will use. You may not need to contribute as much to your Limited Purpose Health Care FSA to cover all of your expected health care expenses, because you’ll have the SABIC Plan for Health HSA.

Use the FSA Calculator on www.benefits.sabic-ip.com to determine how much to contribute.

The Limited Purpose Health Care FSA can be used to pay health care expenses like dental, vision hardware and LASIK procedures.

How Dependent Day Care Flexible Spending Accounts Help You Save You can use your Dependent Day Care FSA to reimburse yourself for a number of different expenses, including:

Child care fees

Day care fees for a handicapped dependent

Day care fees for an elderly dependent

Note: Highly Compensated Employees (HCE) may have election reduced due to IRS Regulations. 2015 HCE are reduced to yearly maximum of $2,500.

Medical Plan Options

SABIC Plan For Health When you enroll in the SABIC Plan for Health Option A or Option B:

SABIC contributes $500 (individual) or $1000 (2 or more coverage level) to an HSA. You can earn additional incentives when you take the Health Risk Questionnaire AND complete the required wellness actions ($150 employee/$150 spouse or dependent over age 18). You can receive from the company a maximum total contribution to your HSA of $650 (individual) or $1300 (2 or more coverage level). Account must be open and active to receive incentives.

The plan pays 100% of the cost of many in-network preventive care services, even before you’ve satisfied your deductible. You don’t pay for these services, so you save money.

You keep your unused HSA balance and it will roll over in your account. If you are using the investment options in your HSA, your balance can grow over time. If you don’t use all of your HSA dollars in 2016, the unused balance carries over to 2017 and you can use these funds in the future if you remain enrolled in this plan.

2017 Annual Enrollment Guide Active Employee Version 15

HSA Basics As part of your enrollment in the SABIC Plan for Health (Option A or B), once you have opened your account, you will receive an HSA Welcome Kit that will include your HSA debit card and other important HSA documents. In order to receive your HSA incentive contributions from SABIC, you will need to open/activate your HSA. The incentive will be posted to your HSA if it is open by January 1, 2017 within 30 days of the 1st pay period in 2017. If you delay opening your account, it usually takes approximately 30-60 days for the initial incentive to be deposited.

Tax-Advantaged Savings Opportunity You earn interest on your HSA funds (those from the company as well as your own pre-tax contributions). You also have the opportunity to invest your funds as long as you maintain a minimum balance ($2,000 if your plan administrator is United Healthcare and $1,500 if your plan administrator is Anthem or CDPHP). Any investment and interest earnings in your account are federally tax-deferred. Depending on the state where you live, you may save on your state income tax as well.

You will receive an HSA debit card to pay your health providers or pharmacy directly for eligible expenses. Money you use from your HSA to pay for qualified medical expenses is federally tax-free. If you use money from your HSA for products or services related to anything other than qualified medical expenses before age 65, that money is taxable and subject to a tax penalty. For a complete list of the rules and requirements for HSAs go to www.irs.gov or check the links on the Your SABIC Total Rewards Website during annual enrollment (www.benefits.sabic-ip.com). You have access electronically to your account activity or if you elect paper, account information will be mailed to your home.

Who Pays for What in the SABIC Plan for Health (Option A and B)? Here’s how the SABIC Plan for Health (Option A and B) and the HSA work together:

1. Use Your Health Savings Account (HSA) to Pay for Eligible Expenses HSA dollars you spend on eligible medical, prescription drug and behavioral health services help satisfy SABIC Plan for Health’s annual deductible. Both in-network and out-of-network expenses are covered, but in-network services are provided at a discounted rate—so you save. You may also elect to contribute your own pre-tax dollars to the HSA. 2017 maximum amounts permitted by the IRS are $3,400 (individual) and $6,750 (2 or more coverage level). If you are age 55 or over, you may contribute an additional $1,000. Maximum amounts include your own and the company’s contributions. Your account balance can roll over to the next plan year.

2. Meet Your Annual Deductible The annual deductible amount varies depending upon whether you elect SABIC Plan for Health Option A or B, the coverage level you choose and whether you use in-network or out-of-network providers. You can pay expenses that count towards satisfying your deductible with your HSA.

3. Coinsurance Phase After meeting the individual (and/or family) deductible, the plan (company) pays 80%, you pay 20% for in-network services for Option A. For Option B if one individual in the family has met the deductible of $6,850, that one individual will have claims paid at 100% and remaining family members will have claims paid at 60% for in network service. The plan (company) pays 60% and you pay 40% for out-of-network services in both Option A and B. The balance is billed to you and you can use your HSA funds to pay this amount.

4. Out-of-Pocket Maximum Once the out-of-pocket maximum is met, SABIC pays 100%. This is the “safety net” that guards you against high or unexpected medical costs by limiting the amount you pay for medical services each year. For example, if you chose Individual coverage under SABIC Plan for Health Option A, and you paid a total of $4,350 on eligible in-network expenses, the company would begin paying 100% of your eligible expenses for the rest of the year. If you are enrolled in SABIC Plan for Health Option B, the individual Out of Pocket Maximum is $6,850 (includes deductible). If a family member has met the $6,850 all of their claims would be paid at 100% and remaining family members would pay 40% until total Out of Pocket amount of $8000 or $9000 was met. You can pay expenses that count towards satisfying your out-of-pocket with your HSA.

2017 Annual Enrollment Guide Active Employee Version 16

Saving for Retirement Health Care Expenses and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)

If you are under age 65, you may enroll in SABIC Plan for Health Option A or B and open a Health Savings Account (HSA). The HSA provides an opportunity for pre-65 participants to not only save on taxes, but also build savings to pay for future Retiree Health Insurance expenses.

This note is to remind you that SABIC has capped its subsidy for pre- and post-65 Retiree Health Insurance at 2011 levels. This means that if Retiree Health Insurance costs increase in subsequent years, the company’s contribution level will remain at 2011 levels and any increases will be passed on to Retiree Health Insurance participants.

HIPAA Privacy Notice—What Are My Rights Under the HIPAA Privacy Regulations?

Your right to privacy The Department of Health and Human Services issued comprehensive federal regulations effective April 14, 2003 that give individuals broad protections over the privacy of their personal health information. These regulations, issued under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), protect the confidentiality of your personal health information and allow you access to your medical records. These regulations apply to the SABIC health benefit plans described in this handbook, and those plans will be referred to collectively in this section as the “Plan.”

This section summarizes your rights under the HIPAA privacy regulations and acts as the Plan’s Notice of Privacy Practices.

Notice of Privacy Practices 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.

This Notice of Privacy Practices describes the ways that the Plan may use and disclose plan participants’ protected health information to carry out treatment, payment and health care operations, and for other purposes that are permitted or required by law. It also sets out the Plan’s legal obligations concerning protected health information. Additionally, this Notice describes plan participants’ rights to access and control their protected health information. Please review the following information carefully.

Plan responsibilities The Plan is required by law to maintain the privacy of plan participants’ protected health information, and is also required to provide plan participants with a copy of this Notice. The Plan must abide by the terms of this Notice. The provisions of this Notice may be changed from time to time, and such changes may affect all protected health information maintained by the benefit plans. If the terms of this Notice are materially changed, a revised Notice will be provided to plan participants.

What is “Protected Health Information”? Protected health information is individually identifiable health information, including demographic information, collected from a plan participant or created or received by a health care provider, a health plan (including the Plan), or health care clearinghouse and that relates to the following information regarding the plan participant: 1) past, present or future physical or mental health or condition; 2) the provision of health care; or 3) the past, present or future payment for the provision of health care.

Primary uses and disclosures of protected health information The Plan has the right to use and disclose your protected health information for several different purposes. The examples below illustrate the types of uses and disclosures that may be made without written authorization by the plan participant.

Payment Protected health information may be used or disclosed to evaluate plan experience, to determine cost share, or otherwise fulfill responsibilities for coverage and providing benefits as established under your benefit plan. For example, protected health information may be disclosed when a provider requests information regarding eligibility for coverage or to determine if a treatment received was medically necessary.

Health care operations The Plan may use or disclose your protected health information to support our business functions. These functions include, but are not limited to: quality assessment and improvement, reviewing provider performance, licensing, and business planning and business development. For example, we may use such information: 1) to provide plan participants with information about disease management programs; 2) to respond to a customer service inquiry; 3) to review the quality of services being provided under the plans; or 4) to conduct audits or medical review of claims activity.

2017 Annual Enrollment Guide Active Employee Version 23

Treatment Although the Plan does not provide treatment, the Plan may disclose protected health information to health care providers for their treatment purposes. For example, the Plan may provide protected health information to health care providers in an emergency situation should the provider seek information about previous treatments received by a plan participant and be unable to contact previous health care providers.

Business associates The Plan contracts with individuals and entities (known as “business associates”) to perform various functions or to provide certain types of services. Some of the functions they provide are administering claims, utilization management or member service support. To perform these functions or to provide the services, business associates will receive, create, maintain, use or disclose protected health information, but only if the business associates agree in writing to contract terms designed to appropriately safeguard protected health information.

Plan sponsor The plans may disclose your protected health information to the Company, acting as plan sponsor, for purposes related to the operation of the health benefit plan, such as eligibility, enrollment, payment, audit and accounting functions. The Company is not permitted to use protected health information for any purpose other than administration of the Plan.

Enrolled dependents and family members In some cases, plan participants may receive mail or e-mail enrollment forms or other materials containing protected health information about themselves or their dependents.

Other Possible Uses and Disclosures of Protected Health Information The following is a description of other possible ways in which the Plan may (and is permitted to) use or disclose your protected health information.

Health oversight activities The Plan may disclose protected health information to a health oversight agency for activities authorized by law, such as: audits; investigations; inspections; licensure or disciplinary actions; civil, administrative, or criminal proceedings or actions; or other activities.

Required by law The Plan may use or disclose protected health information to the extent that federal, state or local law requires the use or disclosure. For example, the Plan is required to disclose protected health information to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services when the Secretary is investigating or determining plan compliance with the HIPAA Privacy Regulations.

Public health activities The Plan may use or disclose protected health information for public health activities that are permitted or required by law. For example, information may be used or disclosed for the purpose of preventing or controlling disease, injury or disability.

Abuse or neglect The Plan may disclose protected health information to a government authority authorized by law to receive reports of abuse, neglect or domestic violence. Also, as required by law, the Plan may disclose protected health information to a governmental entity authorized to receive such information if the plans have reason to believe that a plan participant has been a victim of abuse, neglect or domestic violence.

Legal proceedings The Plan may disclose protected health information: 1) in the course of any judicial or administrative proceeding; 2) in response to an order of a court or administrative tribunal (to the extent such disclosure is expressly authorized); and 3) in response to a subpoena, a discovery request or other lawful process.

Law enforcement Under certain conditions, the Plan may disclose protected health information to law enforcement officials. Some of the reasons for such a disclosure may include: 1) it is required by law or some other legal process; 2) it is necessary to locate or identify a suspect, fugitive, material witness or missing person; and 3) it is necessary to provide evidence of a crime that occurred on our premises.

2017 Annual Enrollment Guide Active Employee Version 24

Coroners, medical examiners, funeral directors The Plan may disclose protected health information to a coroner or medical examiner for purposes of identifying a deceased person, determining a cause of death, or to perform other duties authorized by law. The Plan also may disclose, as authorized by law, information to funeral directors.

Organ Donation The Plan may disclose protected health information to an entity engaged in the process of organ, eye, or tissue donation or transplantation for the purpose of facilitating such donation and transplantation.

Research The Plan may disclose protected health information for research purposes, subject to legal restrictions.

To prevent a serious threat to health or safety Consistent with applicable federal and state laws, the Plan may disclose protected health information, in the event that the disclosure is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious and imminent threat to the health or safety of a person or the public. The Plan may disclose protected health information if it is necessary for law enforcement authorities to identify or apprehend an individual.

Military activity and national security; protective services Under certain conditions, the Plan may disclose your protected health information if you are, or were, Armed Forces personnel for activities deemed necessary by appropriate military command authorities. The Plan also may disclose your protected health information to authorized federal officials for conducting national security and intelligence activities.

Inmates With respect to inmates of a correctional institution, the Plan may disclose your protected health information to the correctional institution so it may provide health care to such inmates or to assure the health and safety of such inmates and the health and safety of others, including for the safety of the correctional institution.

Workers’ Compensation The Plan may disclose protected health information to comply with Workers’ Compensation laws and other similar programs that provide benefits for work-related injuries or illnesses.

Others involved in the participant’s health care Unless the plan participant objects, the Plan may disclose protected health information to a friend or family member that the plan participant has identified as being involved in his or her health care. The Plan also may disclose information to an entity assisting in a disaster relief effort so that family members can be notified about a plan participant’s condition, status and location. If the plan participant is not present or able to agree to these disclosures of his or her protected health information, then the Plan may, using its professional judgment, determine whether the disclosure is in the plan participant’s best interest.

Other uses and disclosures of your protected health information Other uses and disclosures of protected health information that are not described above will be made only with written authorization of the affected plan participant. Once an authorization has been provided, the plan participant may revoke the authorization in writing, and this revocation will be effective for future uses and disclosures of protected health information. However, the revocation will not be effective for information already used or disclosed in reliance on the authorization.

Plan participants’ rights The following is a description of plan participants’ rights with respect to your protected health information.

Right to inspect and copy Plan participants have the right to inspect and obtain a copy of their protected health information, with some limited exceptions. Such records will usually include enrollment, billing, claims payment, case or medical management records or records that are used to make decisions about health care benefits. To inspect and obtain a copy of protected health information that is contained in a designated record set, the plan participant must submit a request in writing. The Plan may charge a fee for the costs of copying, mailing or other supplies associated with such a request. The Plan may deny a request to inspect and copy protected health information in certain limited circumstances. If a plan participant is denied access to his or her information, the plan participant may request that the denial be reviewed.

2017 Annual Enrollment Guide Active Employee Version 25

Right to amend If a plan participant believes that his or her protected health information is incorrect or incomplete, he or she may request that we amend the information. The request must be in writing. Additionally, the request should include the reason the amendment is necessary. In certain cases, the Plan may deny a request for an amendment, including if it is not in writing or does not include a reason that supports the request. In addition, requests may be denied if the protected health information in question:

Is accurate and complete;

Was not created by the Plan;

Is not part of the protected health information kept by or for the Plan; or

Is not part of the protected health information which a plan participant would be permitted to inspect and copy.

If a request is denied, the plan participant has the right to file a statement of disagreement, though the Plan has the right to rebut that statement of disagreement.

Right to request a restriction Plan participants have the right to request a restriction on the protected health information used or disclosed for payment or health care operations.

For example, a plan participant may request to be contacted only via his or her work address or work e-mail. Requests for restriction must be in writing and contain: 1) which protected health information to be communicated in an alternative manner or at an alternative location; and 2) a statement that the disclosure of all or part of this information in a manner inconsistent with the requested instructions would put the individual in danger.

Right to an accounting Plan participants have a right to an accounting of most disclosures of their protected health information that are for reasons other than payment or health care operations.

The requestor will be notified of the cost involved, and the requestor may choose to withdraw or modify the request before any costs are incurred.

Right to a paper copy of this notice Plan participants have the right to a paper copy of this Notice, even if the individual has previously agreed to accept this Notice electronically. Send any requests to the address shown below.

If you are a participant in the Health Care Preferred Plan, there will be an $8 copay after the deductible. For participants in SABIC Plan for Health Option A or B the cost of the service is applied to the deductible.

The cost of a Telemedicine visit is approximately ½ the cost of a low level visit to your primary care physician.

For children, you may designate a pediatrician as the primary care provider. You do not need prior authorization from SABIC or from any other person (including a primary care provider) in order to obtain access to obstetrical or gynecological care from a health care professional in our network who specializes in obstetrics or gynecology. The health care professional, however, may be required to comply with certain procedures, including obtaining prior authorization for certain services, following a pre-approved treatment plan, or procedures for making referrals.

Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) As required by the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) of 1998, SABIC Medical Options provides coverage 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 physical complications of mastectomy, including lymphedemas, in a manner determined in consultation with the attending physician and the patient.

Such coverage may be subject to annual deductibles and coinsurance provisions as may be deemed appropriate and are consistent with those established for other benefits under the plan or coverage. Written notice of the availability of such coverage shall be delivered to the participant upon enrollment and annually thereafter. Contact your plan administrator as shown on the back of your medical ID card, for more information.
