Note that the copayment and coinsurance amounts shown above only apply after
the in-network medical deductible has been met for the Enhanced, Standard, or
Out-of-Area medical plans.
Enhanced & Standard Medical Plans
With these plans, you are enrolled in a consumer-directed high-deductible health plan, which provides
medical and prescription coverage. The plans also include a health savings account (HSA) and an
annual deductible (the amount that you, and if applicable, your dependents pay for healthcare services
before the plan begins to share costs with you). For questions about your medical benefit, please call the
member services number on your United Healthcare or Aetna medical ID card. Your medical carrier is
United Healthcare, if you reside or work in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Nebraska, New
York, New Jersey or Virginia. Aetna is the medical carrier for all other states. Express Scripts is the
prescription benefit administrator for Aetna and United Healthcare participants. The Out of Area medical
plan generally mirrors the in-network level for covered services under the Standard medical plan.

For Family coverage, family

maximum applies; not
applicable to salary level 1)

Health Savings Account (HSA)
Your payroll contributions into a health savings account are pre-tax dollars, which you can use to pay for
your prescription and medical expenses. Unlike a general purpose flexible spending account, your HSA
is not a “use it or lose it” account. Contributions to the HSA account accumulate will roll over year to year.
Any HSA money that you don’t spend stays in your account and can earn interest.
If you are enrolled in either the Enhanced or Standard plan, First Data also makes a contribution to most
employees’ HSAs in 2016 as follows (prorated per paycheck):
Annual Salary

In addition, when you are enrolled in the Enhanced or Standard medical plan with an HSA, any applicable
HealthyFirst wellness incentives will be deposited as a lump sum to the HSA in January 2016. The
HealthyFirst incentives are as follows (2016 new-hires will be prorated quarterly and deposited shortly
after enrollment)
 $150 Health Screening Incentive
 $400 Wellness Results Incentive
 $350 Tobacco Free Incentive
Employees are encouraged to consider making pre-tax contributions to the HSA as well to help fund their
out-of-pocket healthcare expenses until the deductible is satisfied.
For questions about your health savings account, please contact your HSA administrator, PayFlex, at 1
800-284-4885.
Deductible
A deductible is the amount you must pay before the Plan begins paying for a portion of your medical and
prescription costs.




See the design summary above for each medical plan’s annual deductibles
Eligible medical and prescription drug expenses are applied to the medical plan deductible
Out-of-network coverage/deductible does not apply to the prescription drug benefit
The annual deductible starts over every January 01 (no deductible carryover).
When enrolled in Individual coverage (covering self-only), you must satisfy the Individual deductible
before copayments or coinsurance applies to your prescription drug coverage. When enrolled in Family
coverage (covering self and one or more family members), the Family deductible must be met before any
family member receives cost-share from the Plan. The Family deductible can be met in one of two ways:
 One family member has high healthcare expenses, so he/she reaches the family deductible for all
family members.
 Several different family members have smaller expenses and the family deductible is met when
these smaller expenses added together reach the family deductible.
Coinsurance
Coinsurance is the percentage of eligible medical and pharmacy claims you pay after the deductible has
been fulfilled.

See the design summary above for your brand-name drug coinsurance coverage amount.
Copayment (Copay)
Copays are a flat dollar amount you pay for generic prescriptions after the deductible has been fulfilled.
 See the design summary above for your generic drug copayment coverage amounts.
Out-Of-Pocket Maximum
Your share of out-of-pocket expense (i.e., deductible, coinsurance, and copayments for medical and
prescription drugs) each year is limited by an “out-of-pocket” maximum. Once you meet the out-of-pocket
maximum, the Plan pays 100% of covered medical and prescription drug expenses for the rest of the
Plan year.




See the design summary above for the medical plan’s out-of-pocket maximum limit
Out-of-Pocket maximums vary by annual benefits salary
Eligible medical and prescription drug expenses apply to the medical out-of-pocket maximum
Your out-of-pocket maximum limit starts over on January 01 (no carryover).
When enrolled in Individual coverage (covering self-only), you must satisfy the Individual out-of-pocket
maximum limit before the Plan begins to cover your expenses at 100%. When enrolled in Family
coverage (covering self and one or more family member), the Family out-of-pocket maximum must be met
before any family member receives 100% coverage from the Plan. However, the OOP maximum will be
no greater than $6,850 for any individual family member (the overall family maximum continues to apply;
does not apply to salary band level 1).
Mandatory Generics
If you opt to take a brand-name prescription when a generic equivalent is available, you will pay more.
Only the amount you would have paid for the generic prescription will apply to your annual deductible and
out-of-pocket maximum.
Many brand-name drugs have generic equivalents. Generic drugs are required by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) to have the exact same active ingredients and meet the same quality standards as
the brand drug. In addition, generics cost on average six times less than brand, yet are just as safe and
effective.
If you have a reason for not using the generic equivalent, such as an allergy to an ingredient, you may
submit an appeal to Express Scripts.
Mail Order Incentive Program
This program encourages employees to obtain long-term medications (taken for 3 months or more)
through the Express Scripts by Mail Pharmacy service. Long-term medications include, but aren't limited
to, drugs such as those used to treat high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or allergies. You will pay your
mail order copayment or coinsurance when you use the mail service for your long-term drugs. When you
receive a prescription for medication that will be taken on a long-term basis, you will be encouraged to
obtain these prescriptions through mail order to avoid paying more at retail.
If you decide to purchase your long-term drugs at a participating retail pharmacy, you will pay more. Once
you satisfy your in-network deductible, you may purchase a long-term medication at a participating retail
pharmacy 3 times at your regular 30-day supply copayment or coinsurance. Beginning with the 4th time
you fill that long-term medication at retail, you will pay a higher amount for a 30 day supply: $16 for
generics, 50% for brand-name formulary (up to $250 maximum per prescription) or 100% for brand-name
non-formulary (up to $300 maximum per prescription).
nd
Once you satisfy l your in-network deductible, and after your 2 fill of a long-term medication at a retail
pharmacy, you will receive a reminder letter from Express Scripts about the mail-order incentive program
and at periodic times thereafter if you continue to fill long-term medications at retail pharmacies.
90 Day Supply
Through the Mail Order Service, you can purchase up to a 90-day supply of most prescription
medications. There may be limitations on some prescriptions, such as controlled medications, subject to
state and federal dispensing limitations.
Preventive Drugs
The annual deductible is waived for certain specified preventive medications (as defined by Express
Scripts’ “Standard Plus” list) when purchased through mail order under the Enhanced, Standard, and Outof-Area plans. For specific questions on coverage, please call the phone number on your Express Scripts
ID card or visit www.Express-Scripts.com and use the Price a Drug tools. All medications will require a
prescription.
Member cost share for eligible preventive medications (with a waived deductible) purchased through mail
order will be determined by the plan’s drug coverage and formulary:
 Generic: $16 copay
 Brand Formulary: 30% ($250 maximum per prescription)
 Brand Non-Formulary: 45% ($300 maximum per prescription)
The same preventive medications purchased through a retail pharmacy will be subject to the plan’s
deductible and typical cost share outlined in above.
The plan will provide certain preventive medications as designated by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in
the drug categories below at no member cost share (i.e., 100% coverage from the Plan) specific to age
and gender requirements. All medications will require a prescription.
