Medical Plans

Within 30 calendar days of your eligibility/hire date or a qualified life event or during the annual Open Enroll-ment period, you may enroll in one of the three medical plan options. Each medical plan offers one or more medical networks from which to choose your medical providers.

Please refer to page 3 of the Benefits Guide | Administration for information about coverage effective dates.

Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO)

An EPO is similar to a traditional HMO and provides the lowest-cost benefit because it uses contracted network physicians, hospitals, ancillary healthcare providers and facilities. You have access to any physician (including specialists) within your network without notifying the Plan Administrator.

Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)

With a PPO, you can use both in-network and out-of-network tiers of physicians, hospitals and facilities. In-network services cost less out-of-pocket, but the out of-network tier offers more provider choices.

Health Savings Account (HSA) Option with HealthFund HSA

The HSA Option is a high-deductible health plan with both in-network and out-of-network benefit levels. You have access to any physician (including specialists) without authorization.

The HealthFund HSA is an account that is used in conjunction with the HSA Option. It allows tax-free contributions and earnings to pay your out-of-pocket healthcare-related expenses.

Often, case management is used with complex treatments for severe health conditions. The case worker uses available resources to achieve cost effective health outcomes for both the member and the medical plans.

Disease Management

The purpose of disease management programs is to reach out to you and/or your dependents who want help managing their health conditions or information about complex or chronic health conditions. The programs are typically designed to improve self-management skills and help

make lifestyle changes that promote healthy living. The following disease management programs are available to all members, regardless of their selected networks:• Asthma• Diabetes• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary

Disease• Congestive Heart Failure• Pregnancy/Maternity• Coronary Artery Disease

If you are eligible or become eligible for one of the programs above, a disease manager from your designated medical management vendor will assess your needs and work with your physicians to develop a personalized plan. Your personalized plan will establish goals and steps to help you positively change your specific lifestyle habits and improve your health.

Your assigned disease manager may also:• Provide tips on how to keep your

diet and exercise program on track• Help you to maintain your necessary

medical tests and annual exams• Offer tips on how to manage stress

and help control the symptoms of stress

• Assist with understanding your doctor’s treatment plan

• Review and discuss medications, how they work and how to use them

Participation is optional, private and tailored to your specific needs. Generally a disease manager will work with you as quickly or as slowly as you like allowing you to complete the program at your own pace. Over the course of the program, participants learn to incorporate healthy habits and improve their overall health.

Pharmacy Plan

Limited Prescription Drug CoveragePrescription drug coverage will generally be limited to medications that do not have an equally effective over-the-counter substitute. If traveling outside of the U.S., pharmacy benefit coverage applies only to emergencies on a reimbursement basis.

Non-covered DrugsCertain medications are not covered as part of the plan. If you find such a drug has been prescribed for you, discuss an alternative treatment with your doctor.

FormularyThe formulary is the list of medications chosen by a committee of doctors and pharmacists to help you maximize the value of your prescription benefit. Formulary changes can occur during the plan year. Medications that no longer offer the best therapeutic value are deleted from the formulary. Ask your pharmacist to verify the current copay amount when your prescription is filled. Sharing this information with your doctor helps ensure you get the best value, which saves you and your plan money.

Medication Prior AuthorizationPrescriptions for certain medications may require clinical approval before

they can be filled, even with a valid prescription. These prescriptions may be limited to quantity, frequency, dosage or may have age restrictions. The authorization process may be initiated by you, your local pharmacy, or your physician by calling MedImpact at 1-888-648-6769.

Step Therapy ProgramStep therapy promotes the use of safe, cost-effective and clinically appropriate medications. This program requires that members try a generic alternative medication that is safe and equally effective before a brand name medication is covered. For a complete list of drugs under this program, please refer to the Formulary Lookup in the MedImpact Member Portal.

Specialty Pharmacy ProgramCertain medications used for treating chronic or complex health conditions are handled through the Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy Program. This program helps you monitor your medication needs and also provides patient education. The program includes monitoring of specific injection drugs and other therapies requiring complex administration methods and special storage, handling and delivery. Specialty

medications are limited to a 30-day supply and may be obtained only at a Walgreens retail pharmacy or by calling 1.888.782.8443.

A Specialty Care Representative may contact you to facilitate your enrollment in the Specialty Pharmacy Program. You also may enroll directly into the program by calling 1.888.782.8443.

Within 30 calendar days of your eligibility/hire date or a qualified life event or during the annual Open Enrollment period, you may enroll in one of three healthcare accounts that helps increase your take-home pay:

• Healthcare Flexible Spending Account• Limited Healthcare Flexible Spending Account• HealthFund Health Saving Account

You contribute on a pre-tax basis and then reimburse yourself on a tax-free basis for eligible expenses.

Please refer to page 3 of the Benefits Guide | Administration for information about coverage effective dates.

Important: If you are an HSA Option medical plan participant, your election is limited to one or both of the following:• HealthFund Health Savings Account; and/or• Limited Healthcare Flexible Spending Account for dental and vision expenses only.

The IRS will not allow the submission of the same eligible expenses to both a HealthFund HSA and a Healthcare FSA in the same plan year.

An FSA allows you to use pre-tax dollars for health care expenses not covered by your insurance. It reduces your taxable income, which saves you money. Eligible healthcare expenses can be reimbursed by submitting claims and supporting documentation to the claims administrator, ASIFlex. Some healthcare expenses can be paid at the point of service with an ASIFlex-issued debit card.

Contribution Limits• You may contribute up to $2,550 to pay uninsured, eligible healthcare expenses for both you and your tax-qualified

dependents each calendar year (January–December).• If you and your spouse both work and the plan is offered by both employers, you can each contribute $2,550.• If you contributed to another employer’s FSA during the calendar year and that employer is not part of the Arizona

University System (ABOR, ASU, NAU and UA), you can contribute up to $2,550 through ASU’s plan.

Use It or Lose It • Beginning with the 2016 plan year, participants will be allowed to carry over up to $500 in unused funds into the next

plan year (effective with the 2017 plan year). Otherwise, unused funds exceeding $500 do not roll over from calendar year to calendar year, so estimate your expenses carefully using ASIFlex’s tax savings calculator. Claims must be submitted by April 30 each year for expenses incurred in the previous calendar year (FSA Eligible Expenses).

Deadline to submit claims: By April 30, 2015, for 2014 claims; By April 30, 2016, for 2015 claims New enrollment is required each year during the annual Open Enrollment period for the next calendar plan year (January–December).

IMPORTANT: If you elect a Limited Healthcare Flexible Spending Account, reimbursement is restricted to dental and vision expenses.

As an Aetna HSA Option medical plan participant, a HealthFund Health Savings Account (HSA) will be established in your name after you complete the customer identification process. (As required under Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act, Aetna is required to confirm some of your personal information to establish your account.)

HSA monies are used to pay uninsured healthcare expenses for you and your tax-qualified dependents using a debit card. There are some fees for using the savings account.

Annual contribution limits are established every year by the IRS based on the HSA medical option plan level of coverage. It is each participant’s responsibility to manage contributions in accordance with federal guidelines to ensure that contributions do not exceed the limits.

Eligible participants can enroll, increase, decrease or stop contributions to their health savings account at any time by submitting a completed HSA Payroll Deduction Authorization form (cfo.asu.edu/hr-forms#health) to HR Benefits secure fax 480-993-0007.

• Payroll-deducted contributions are withheld on a pre-tax basis and will be effective on the first day of the pay period following receipt of the completed form.

• The contribution remains in effect until a new authorization is received or until coverage in the Aetna HSA Option medical plan ends.

• The annual election amount is divided by the number of biweekly pay dates in the calendar year. If effective the first pay period that ends in January, the amount is divided by 26.

• For faculty paid over nine (9) months (academic year):• No contributions are made during the summer. Upon return to work in the fall, the annual election remaining

balance is divided by the number of pay dates remaining in the calendar year. Example: Annual election as of Jan. 1, 2016 is $2,000. $76.92 will be withheld during spring semester (10 pay dates Jan. 8, 2016 through May 13, 2016). Upon return to work, remaining balance of $1,230.80 is divided by 10 (pay dates Aug. 19, 2016 through Dec.23, 2016).

• The annual election amount remains in effect until a new HSA Payroll Deduction Authorization form is completed and submitted to HR Benefits.

HSA funds roll over from year-to-year. Once your funds reach $2,000, they can be invested with PayFlex similar to funds in an individual retirement account (IRA).

Please allow up to three (3) business days from our regular biweekly pay dates for HSA contributions to be posted to your PayFlex account.www.payflexdirect.com/EmployeeLogin.aspx
