Formulary prescriptions are brand name drugs that generally save you money over other brand name drugs because they are on
the CVS/caremark Prescription Drug List. These medications typically fall under Tier 2 of the prescription drug list (PDL) and are
considered your moderate cost option.

Formulary (Tier Two) and Non-formulary (Tier Three) drug costs are based on coinsurance. You are required to pay at least the minimum
amount for a prescription drug, but you will never pay more than the maximum coinsurance amount for a prescription.

Preventive Prescriptions (as defined under ACA regulations) ffor the $1,500, $2,850 and $4,500 Deductible Plans are covered at
100%, prior to the deductible. Maintenance medications are covered at the coinsurance level and the deductible is waived.

Supplemental Medical
Supplemental Medical Insurance through Voya can help protect you from significant expenses not covered by your
medical plan. In fact, based on your situation, you may be able to save money by adding a supplemental plan to a
lower cost medical plan. Be sure to consider your anticipated medical needs for the coming year — for example, a
major
surgery — and the cost of the insurance plans available to you.
Keep in Mind
Supplemental medical plans are intended to supplement your primary medical plan.
On their own, they don’t provide the minimum level of medical coverage needed to meet
Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirements.

Hospital Indemnity Insurance
A trip to the hospital can be stressful — so can the bills. Even with a medical plan, you may still be responsible for
copays, deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs. A Hospital Indemnity Insurance plan through Voya provides
supplemental payments that you can use to cover expenses that your medical plan doesn’t cover for hospital stays,
ambulance service, surgery, and certain inpatient or outpatient treatments. Hospital Indemnity Insurance coverage

yourself before you can enroll a dependent.

Flexible Spending Accounts
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
Save money on your healthcare and/or dependent care expenses by using a tax-advantaged FSA. The money you
contribute comes from your paycheck pretax (lowering your taxable income). And withdrawals for eligible expenses
are also tax-free.
Healthcare FSA
$800 Deductible PPO Plan
• Contribute up to $2,600 annually to help cover qualified medical, vision and dental expenses. For a complete list
of eligible expenses, visit www.irs.gov and see Publication 502.
• Choose your contribution amount once a year (if your personal situation changes, such as getting married or having
a baby, you may be able to change your election during the year).
• Use a plan-provided debit card to pay for your eligible expenses.
• Your entire annual contribution is available to you at the beginning of the plan year.
• You can carry forward up to $500 in unused funds each year. Anything not used over $500 at the end of the year
will be forfeited.
Combination FSA
$1,500 Deductible Plan, $2,850 Deductible Plan and $4,500 Deductible Plan
• Contribute up to $2,600 annually.
• Only dental and vision expenses can be paid with the Combination FSA until you have met the IRS statutory
deductible for medical expenses — $1,300 for individual coverage or $2,600 for family coverage. After you have
met the statutory deductible, then eligible medical expenses are allowed.
• Use a plan-provided debit card to pay for your eligible expenses.
• Your entire annual contribution is available to you at the beginning of the plan year.
• Unused money does not carry forward at the end of each year — you must “use it or lose it.”

The official plan document and summary plan description for the Radial Commerce, Inc. Group Welfare Benefits Plan
and their respective coverage options provide more complete details regarding the terms of the plan. If there is any
conflict between the statements in this guide and the official plan documents, the terms of the plan documents will
govern all rights and obligations of plan participants, beneficiaries, and fiduciaries of Radial Commerce, Inc. The
plan administrator (or its delegate) has the sole discretion to interpret and apply the terms and conditions of the plan
described in this guide. Radial Commerce, Inc. reserves the right to amend or terminate these benefits or change the
cost of coverage at any time and for any reason.
The Benefits Decision Guide, combined with these legal notices, provides an overview of the benefits available to you
and your family. In the event of a discrepancy between the information presented in the Benefits Decision Guide and
official plan documents, the official plan documents will govern.
Important Notice from Radial Commerce, Inc. about Creditable Prescription Drug
Coverage and Medicare
The purpose of this notice is to advise you that the prescription drug coverage listed below under the Radial Commerce,
Inc. medical plan is expected to pay out, on average, at least as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug
coverage will pay in 2017. This is known as “creditable coverage.” Why this is important: if you or your covered
dependent(s) are enrolled in any prescription drug coverage during 2017 listed in this notice and are or become
covered by Medicare, you may decide to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan later and not be subject to a late
enrollment penalty — as long as you had creditable coverage within 63 days of your Medicare prescription drug plan
enrollment. You should keep this notice with your important records.
If you or your family members aren’t currently covered by Medicare and won’t become covered by Medicare in the
next 12 months, this notice doesn’t apply to you.
Please read the notice below carefully. It has information about prescription drug coverage with Radial Commerce, Inc.
and prescription drug coverage available for people with Medicare. It also tells you where to find more information to
help you make decisions about your prescription drug coverage.
Your May 1, 2017 - April 30, 2018 U.S. Benefits Decision Guide
Legal Notices continued
Individuals can enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan when they first become eligible, and each year from
October 15 through December 7. Individuals leaving employer/union coverage may be eligible for a Medicare Special
Enrollment Period.
If you are covered by one of the Radial Commerce, Inc. prescription drug plans listed below, you’ll be interested to know
that coverage is, on average, at least as good as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage for 2017. This is called
creditable coverage. Coverage under one of these plans will help you avoid a late Part D enrollment penalty if you are
or become eligible for Medicare and later decide to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan.
If you decide to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan and you are an active employee or family member of an
active employee, you may also continue your employer coverage. In this case, the employer plan will continue to pay
primary
or secondary as it had before you enrolled in a Medicare prescription drug plan. If you waive or drop Radial Com-
merce, Inc. coverage, Medicare will be your only payer. You can re-enroll in the employer plan at annual enrollment
or if you have a special enrollment event for the Radial Commerce, Inc. plan.
You should know that if you waive or leave coverage with Radial Commerce, Inc. and you go 63 days or longer without
creditable prescription drug coverage (once your applicable Medicare enrollment period ends), your monthly Part D
premium will go up at least 1% per month for every month that you did not have creditable coverage. For example, if
you go 19 months without coverage, your Medicare prescription drug plan premium will always be at least 19% higher

Newborns’ and Mothers’ Health Protection Act (NMHPA or “Newborns’ Act”) Notice
Group health plans and health insurance issuers generally may not, under federal law, restrict benefits for any hos-
pital 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). If you would like more information on maternity benefits, call UnitedHealthcare at (844) 255-3066.
CHIP/Medicaid Notice
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 as-
sistance 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 depen-
dents might be eligible for either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial (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 eligi-
ble 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 (866) 444-EBSA (3272).

HIPAA Privacy Notice
Please carefully review this notice. It describes how medical information about you may be used and disclosed and how you can get
access to this information.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) imposes numerous requirements on the use and disclosure
of individual health information by Radial Commerce, Inc. health plans. This information, known as protected health information
(PHI), includes almost all individually identifiable health information held by a plan — whether received in writing, in an electronic
medium, or as an oral communication. This notice describes the privacy practices of these plans: Medical, Dental, and Vision. The
plans covered by this notice may share health information with each other to carry out treatment, payment, or healthcare operations.
These plans are collectively referred to as the Plan in this notice, unless specified otherwise.
• Treatment includes providing, coordinating, or managing healthcare by one or more healthcare providers or doctors. Treatment
can also include coordination or management of care between a provider and a third party, and consultation and referrals be-
tween providers. For example, the Plan may share your health information with physicians who are treating you.
• Payment includes activities by this Plan, other plans, or providers to obtain premiums, make coverage determinations, and provide
reimbursement for healthcare. This can include determining eligibility, reviewing services for medical
necessity or appropriateness, engaging in utilization management activities, claims management, and billing; as well
as performing “behind the scenes” plan functions, such as risk adjustment, collection, or reinsurance. For example, the Plan may
share information about your coverage or the expenses you have incurred with another health plan to coordinate payment of
benefits.
• Health care operations include activities by this Plan (and, in limited circumstances, by other plans or providers), such
as wellness and risk assessment programs, quality assessment and improvement activities, customer service, and
internal grievance resolution. Health care operations also include evaluating vendors; engaging in credentialing,
training, and accreditation activities; performing underwriting or premium rating; arranging for medical review and
audit activities; and conducting business planning and development. For example, the Plan may use information about your
claims to audit the third parties that approve payment for Plan benefits.
The amount of health information used, disclosed or requested will be limited and, when needed, restricted to the
minimum necessary to accomplish the intended purposes, as defined under the HIPAA rules. If the Plan uses or discloses PHI for un-
derwriting purposes, the Plan will not use or disclose PHI that is your genetic information for such purposes.

How the Plan may share your health information with Radial Commerce, Inc.
The Plan, or its health insurer or HMO, may disclose your health information without your written authorization to Radial

health information is information that summarizes participants’ claims information, from which names and other identifying
information have been removed.

is participating in the Plan or has enrolled or disenrolled in an insurance option or HMO offered by the Plan.

sure
if informing you won’t put you at further risk)
Judicial and administrative Disclosures in response to a court or administrative order, subpoena, discovery re-

or receive satisfactory assurance from the party seeking your health information that
efforts were made to notify you or to obtain a qualified protective order concerning the

to make those communications. If we keep psychotherapy notes in our records, we will obtain your authorization in some cases
before we release those records. The Plan will never sell your health information unless you have authorized us to do so.
You may revoke your authorization as allowed under the HIPAA rules. However, you can’t revoke your authorization with respect to
disclosures the Plan has already made. You will be notified of any unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of your unsecured health
information as required by law.

The Plan will notify you if it becomes aware that there has been a loss of your health information in a manner that could compromise
the privacy of your health information.
Right to request restrictions on certain uses and disclosures of your health information and the Plan’s
right to refuse
You have the right to ask the Plan to restrict the use and disclosure of your health information for treatment, payment,
or healthcare operations, except for uses or disclosures required by law. You have the right to ask the Plan to restrict the use and
disclosure of your health information to family members, close friends, or other persons you identify as being involved in your care or
payment for your care. You also have the right to ask the Plan to restrict use and disclosure of health
information to notify those persons of your location, general condition, or death — or to coordinate those efforts with entities
assisting in disaster relief efforts. If you want to exercise this right, your request to the Plan must be in writing.

written request, by agreement between you and the Plan (including an oral agreement), or unilaterally by the Plan for health in-
formation created or received after you’re notified that the Plan has removed the restrictions. The Plan may also disclose health
information about you if you need emergency treatment, even if the Plan has agreed to a restriction.
An entity covered by these HIPAA rules (such as your healthcare provider) or its business associate must comply with your request
that health information regarding a specific healthcare item or service not be disclosed to the Plan for
purposes of payment or healthcare operations if you have paid out of pocket and in full for the item or service.
If you want to exercise this right, your request to the Plan must be in writing and you must include a statement that
disclosure of all or part of the information could endanger you.
If you want to exercise this right, your request to the Plan must be in writing. Within 30 days of receipt of your request (60 days if the
health information is not accessible on site), the Plan will provide you with one of these responses:
If the Plan keeps your records in an electronic format, you may request an electronic copy of your health information
in a form and format readily producible by the Plan. You may also request that such electronic health information be sent to another
entity or person, so long as that request is clear, conspicuous, and specific. Any charge that is assessed to you for these copies must
be reasonable and based on the Plan’s cost.
If you want to exercise this right, your request to the Plan must be in writing, and you must include a statement to
support the requested amendment. Within 60 days of receipt of your request, the Plan will take one of these actions:

In addition, your right to an accounting of disclosures to a health oversight agency or law enforcement official may
be suspended at the request of the agency or official.

request in any 12-month period at no cost to you, but the Plan may charge a fee for
subsequent requests. You’ll be notified of the fee in advance and have the opportunity to change or revoke your request.
