Annual Enrollment Begins October 1st at Noon Ends October 29th at Noon
What’s New for 2022?
As part of our ongoing efforts to provide a competitive and sustainable benefits program that best meets the needs of our employees,
we’re making the following changes for 2022. All benefits elected during the Annual Open Enrollment period and plans offered herein are
effective January 1, 2022.

NETWORK OPTIONS (See page 4 for further details)
Cigna will remain the medical carrier, with a new network added for 2022.
  • The Open Access Plus (OAP) is our current network. This is a large network with more doctors and facilities than the newly offered
     LocalPlus (LP) network. Current medical plan members can access OAP information at www.mycigna.com. To view Local Plus
     providers, you will need to visit www.cigna.com.
  • The LocalPlus (LP) network is new for 2022. If you select this network you still have access to care across Tennessee, but LP excludes
     certain providers and facilities. Information regarding network availability for a physician or facility can be found at www.cigna.com.
  • Your choice of network will affect your monthly premium cost.
  • Both network options, (OAP or LP), are available on the HDHP/HSA, Copay, or Deductible Plan.

NEW MEDICAL PLAN
HIGH DEDUCTIBLE HEALTH PLAN (HDHP) with HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA) - HDHP/HSA PLAN
  • The HDHP is coupled with a tax-free HSA that will include monthly funding by Rutherford County.
  • You will have the option to contribute additional tax-free funds to your HSA, up to IRS limits.
  • Money in your HSA can be saved, used to pay for qualified medical expenses, and/or invested over time.
  • The HSA is yours to keep, even if you retire or leave employment.

  IMPORTANT: HSA plan participants will not have the option to enroll in a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA) for 2022. Any
    rollover balance $550 and under that you have in your HCFSA at the end of 2021 will be rolled into a Limited Purpose Flexible
    Spending Account. Limited Purpose FSA funds are restricted to dental and vision claims only. (See pages 7 and 15 for further details).

EXISTING MEDICAL PLAN CHANGES (See page 4 for further details)
HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNT (HRA) PLAN
  • The HRA Plan is being replaced with the HDHP/HSA (see above).
  • County funding remaining in your existing HRA will not rollover or be available for services rendered after December 31, 2021.

  IMPORTANT: Employees currently enrolled in the HRA Plan that do not elect a new plan or do not decline medical coverage will be
    automatically enrolled in the new HDHP/HSA in the OAP network effective January 1, 2022.

COPAY PLAN
  • Deductibles and out of pocket limits have changed. See page 9 for further details.
  • Rates have changed. Please review the options carefully on page 6.

DEDUCTIBLE PLAN
 • This is a grandfathered plan and is not available to new enrollees. If you are currently enrolled in the Deductible plan, you are
   allowed to switch to the LP Network or a different plan. Remember, if you opt out of the Deductible plan completely you may not re-
   enroll in it at any time.

SPENDING ACCOUNTS
  • There are important changes to spending accounts due to the new HDHP w/HSA plan. Review the details on page 15 carefully.

                       TAKE ACTION DURING THE ANNUAL OPEN ENROLLMENT PERIOD
IMPORTANT: All eligible employees should participate in Annual Enrollment, even if you have recently enrolled or made changes.
  • Current HRA Plan participants will need to elect a new medical plan for 2022. (Failure to elect a new replacement plan will result in
    default enrollment to the new HDHP/HSA in the OAP network)
  • Verify your beneficiary assignments are up-to-date for all Life and Accident plans.
  • Enroll in a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA) and/or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) for 2022. FSA
    plans require a new election each calendar year. HCFSA is not available for HSA plan participants.
  • Remove or add eligible dependents to benefit plans and change or review current benefit enrollments.
  • Review demographic information on file. (Changes to your address must be initiated through your Human Resource Department).

                                                                                                                                         3
Medical Plans Detailed
For 2022, you have a choice of two medical plans and two networks with a range of coverage levels and costs. This gives you
the flexibility to choose what is best for your needs and budget.

2022 MEDICAL PLAN OPTIONS (see pages 8 and 9 for detailed plan designs and page 6 for plan rates)
  • (NEW PLAN - Replaces the HRA Plan) High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP/HSA): This is a consumer-driven health plan
    that puts you in charge of your spending through lower paycheck contributions, higher deductibles, and a tax-free, em-
    ployee owned Health Savings Account (HSA). Details regarding the Health Savings Account (HSA) can be found on page 5.
  • Copay Plan: A Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan that reduces your out-of-pocket responsibility when you need
    care by offering a moderate deductible and higher paycheck contributions.

NETWORK CHOICES
CIGNA will offer two network options for medical plan members.
  • Open Access Plus (OAP) - This network offers flexible access to thousands of in-network health care providers, specialists,
    hospitals, virtual care and preventive services. Employee premium cost is higher in the OAP network.
  • LocalPlus (LP) - (New Option) This network has a more limited number of local health care providers, specialist and hospi-
    tals available. The LocalPlus plan options provide the same level of quality care, specialty services, virtual care, preventive
    services and an Away From Home feature when care is needed while traveling. Your LocalPlus network providers are
    based on your home zip code. LocalPlus network is designed for value, so your premium cost is lower than the OAP.
  IMPORTANT: Prior to enrolling in the LocalPlus network plans you should verify that your providers, hospitals, and other fa-
  cilities are available in that network to get the most cost savings from your plan. You will not be able to change plans or net-
  works unless you have a qualifying event such as the birth of a child, marriage, divorce, etc. A provider or hospital leaving a
  network is not a qualifying event, choose a network that best fits your needs carefully.

KEY FEATURES OF ALL MEDICAL PLANS
  • Comprehensive, affordable coverage for a wide range of health care services including office visits, hospital stays, behav-
    ioral health, chiropractic treatments, physical therapy, prescription drugs and other services.
  • Free in-network preventive care, with services such as annual physicals, recommended immunizations, well-woman and
    well-child exams, flu shots, and routine cancer screenings covered at 100%. Remember, there is no out-of-network cover-
    age for preventive care.
  • Prescription drug coverage included with each medical plan.
  • Financial protection through annual out-of-pocket maximums that limit the amount you will pay each year.

                                                                            How does medical coverage work?
             Stretch your healthcare dollars!
  • See in-network providers – They have agreed to lower
      negotiated rates.

                                                                                                    You pay nothing for in-network
                                                                                                          preventive care.

  • Use the mail-order pharmacy – It saves time and money
    when refilling long-term prescriptions.
  • Don’t forget about virtual health – Utilize MDLIVE to get
    healthcare without having to visit a doctor’s office                     2

Health Savings Account (HSA)
The HRA Plan is being replaced by the HDHP/HSA Plan. This plan costs less than the Copay Plan, so you keep more of your
money. This plan rewards you for taking an active role as a healthcare consumer and making smart decisions about your
healthcare spending. As a result, you could pay less for your annual medical costs.
HSA Plan Advantages
 • Lower monthly premiums. Your per-paycheck costs are lower compared to the Copay plan, giving you the opportunity to
   contribute the cost savings to a tax-free Health Savings Account (HSA). You pay for your initial medical costs until you meet
   your annual deductible, and then you pay a percentage (coinsurance) of any further costs until you reach the annual out-
   of-pocket maximum.
 • Tax-advantaged savings account. To help pay your deductible and other out-of-pocket costs, the High Deductible Health
   Plan allows you to open a Health Savings Account (HSA) and make pre-tax contributions directly via payroll deduction.
   Rutherford County will also contribute up to the following amounts for 2022 to your HSA to help cover qualified out-of-
   pocket healthcare expenses.
       Rutherford County Annual Contribution Amounts
            - $500 for Employee Only coverage
            - $1,000 for Employee plus Spouse, Child(ren), or Family coverage
            - This account is funded per pay period; see page 7 for additional details.

  Are you eligible for an Health Savings Account (HSA)?
   - Must be enrolled in the qualified High Deductible Health Plan.
   - Cannot be covered by any other non-compatible health plan such as Medicare Parts A and B , or TriCare.
   - Cannot be enrolled in your own or covered by a spouse’s Full-Purpose Healthcare Flexible Spending Account.
   - Cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return (unless it’s your spouse)

 IMPORTANT: A married couple who has a combination of spending accounts (FSA and HSA) could create a complicated tax
 situation. For example, if you have an FSA through Rutherford County and your spouse has an HSA through their employer,
 your spouse may not be able to contribute to their HSA. Contact a tax advisor or see IRS Publication 969 for more details.

 This is not an exhaustive list. Contact a tax advisor if you have any questions regarding your eligibility.

How does an Health Savings Account (HSA) work?
 • You will receive a Welcome Packet and Debit Card from HSA Bank.
 • An account will be setup on your behalf with HSA Bank. You will be required to pass the Customer Identification Program
    (CIP) in order to initiate all account funding.
 • You can contribute additional before-tax dollars to your HSA via payroll deduction up to the IRS limits. Additional contribu-
    tions, for payroll deduction, can be elected online during the Annual Enrollment process.
 • You can use your HSA funds to pay for qualified medical expenses with your Health Benefits Debit Card directly to your
   medical provider or pay out of pocket. You have the flexibility to reimburse yourself or keep the funds in your HSA to grow
   your savings for the future.
 • You can manage your HSA account all in one place with your MyCigna app or online account.
 • You own your HSA. Unused funds roll over each year and are yours to keep, even if you retire or leave employment with
   Rutherford County. After age 65, funds can be withdrawn for any purpose without penalty, subject to income taxes.

Important Financial Details
                                        Health Savings Account Contributions
If you enroll in the HDHP/HSA Plan, Rutherford County will contribute to your Health Savings Account (HSA) fund annually.
If you are enrolling during Annual Enrollment, you will receive:
     - $500 for Employee Only coverage
     - $1,000 for Employee plus Spouse, Child(ren), or Family coverage
Funds are deposited into your HSA per pay period. For example, if benefits are normally deducted from your check 24 times
per year, you would receive $20.83 per deduction cycle if you cover only yourself; you would receive $41.67 per deduction
cycle if you cover a spouse, child, or family.
If you experience a life event and enroll in the HDHP/HSA plan mid-year, the amount you receive will differ based on the
number of payroll deduction cycles left in the year. Following the example above, you receive $20.83 per deduction cycle if you
only cover yourself. If there are four payroll deductions left in the year, you would receive $83.33 from Rutherford County.

IMPORTANT: You must be employed in the pay period in order to receive funds.

                                                Spending Account Limits
The IRS establishes annual limits on all spending accounts. The limits below are effective as of January 1, 2022.
  Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA)
   - $2,750 per employee

  Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA)
   - $5,000 ($2,500 for married filing separately)

  Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account (LPFSA)
    - This account is only available to you if you were enrolled in a HCFSA in 2021 but enroll in the HSA plan for 2022.
    - Any balance $550 and under remaining in your HCFSA at the end of 2021 will be rolled into a LPFSA.
    - Rollover funds in the LPFSA are limited to Dental and Vision claims only.
    - You may not make any other contributions to this account.

  Health Savings Account (HSA)
   • $3,650 if you only cover yourself
   • $7,300 if you cover a spouse, child, or family
   • Add $1,000 to these limits if you are 55 or older

IMPORTANT: These limits include all sources of funding. The family HSA limit includes any contributions your spouse may
make to their own HSA. You must take any contribution from Rutherford County into account when deciding how much to
contribute to your account. Consult a tax professional if you have any questions.

           Special Note for Rutherford County Schools/Board of Education (BOE) Employees
IMPORTANT: Rutherford County Schools/Board of Education (BOE) employees pay their insurance premiums over 10 months
(September-June) for 12 months of coverage (September-August). BOE employees may be subject to collection of back premi-
ums, known as “arrears.” This is the amount needed to fully pay up July and August insurance. This occurs if an employee
changes his/her medical, dental or vision options or coverage tiers, resulting in a higher monthly premium than previously en-
rolled. It can also occur if premiums increase for the new calendar year, or if an employee not enrolled in 2021 adds coverage
for 2022. Alternatively, a refund will be issued if an employee makes a coverage change resulting in a lower monthly premium
or drops coverage for 2022.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
Flexible Spending Accounts are available through Wageworks/Health Equity for Rutherford County. Tax-advantaged FSAs are a
great way to save money. The money you contribute to these accounts comes out of your paycheck without being taxed, and
you withdraw it tax-free when you pay for eligible health care and dependent care expenses. See the chart below to make sure
you choose the Flexible Spending Account that meets your needs.

Keep in mind: FSAs are “use it or lose it” accounts. Any money remaining in your Healthcare FSA over $550 as of December 31
will be forfeited. Any money in your Dependent Care FSA or Limited Purpose FSA as of December 31 will be forfeited.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR 2022 HSA ENROLLEES: If you are enrolled in a Healthcare FSA (HCFSA) but are enrolling in an HSA for
2022, any remaining funds in your HCFSA as of December 31, 2021 will be placed into a Limited Purpose FSA (up to $550). IRS
rules prevent you from having funds in an HCFSA and an HSA at the same time; placing those funds in a Limited Purpose FSA
(LPFSA) ensures you do not lose them. You may not make any further contributions to this account, and any funds remaining in
it as of December 31, 2022 will be forfeited. Funds in a LPFSA are limited to dental and vision claims only.

Short Term Disability
What happens to your income if an injury or illness keeps you from working?
Short Term Disability insurance can replace part of your weekly paycheck if you can’t work due to a qualifying disability, including injury,
physical disease, a mental health issue or pregnancy. Premiums for this coverage are paid 100% by the employee.

 Short Term Disability Exclusions
 Extended Benefit Waiting Period: If you do not apply for short term disability coverage within 31 days of becoming eligible, were eligible
 for coverage under a prior plan for more than 31 days but were not insured, apply for an increase in coverage, or if your coverage is rein-
 stated because you failed to pay your premium, your waiting period for physical disease, pregnancy, or mental disorder is 60 days
 (instead of 7). Once you have been covered for 12 months, the wait periods listed above apply. Contact The Standard for assistance.

Long Term Disability
What happens if your injury or illness keeps you out of work for longer than 180 days?
Long Term Disability insurance helps provide financial protection by promising to pay a monthly benefit in the event of a covered disability.
Rutherford Country pays for this coverage on your behalf.

 Long Term Disability Exclusions
 Pre-Existing Limitation: There is a pre-existing limitation for the long term disability coverage. If you become disabled during your first
 year of coverage as a result of a condition you had in the 90 days prior to your disability effective date, no benefits are available for that
 specific disability.

Voluntary Benefits
An economical way for you to supplement your health care plan and be prepared for the unexpected.
Accident and Critical Illness insurance work to complement your medical coverage—and pay in addition to what your medical plan may or
may not cover. As part of the Rutherford County benefits package, you have access to a variety of additional programs through MetLife that
can help save you money and provide important assistance with everyday needs.

Accident Insurance
You can’t always avoid accidents — but you can help protect yourself from accident-related costs that can strain your budget. Accident
insurance through Metlife supplements your primary medical plan and disability programs by providing cash benefits in cases of
accidental injuries. You can use this money to help pay for non-covered medical expenses, such as your deductible or coinsurance, or for
ongoing living expenses, such as your mortgage or rent. Benefits are paid directly to you — unless assigned to someone else — and are
also paid in addition to other coverages you may have, such as medical or an AD&D plan.

                                                                                 County 12 Month Payroll Deduction Plan Cost

Critical Illness Insurance
When a serious illness strikes, critical illness insurance can provide financial support to help you through a difficult time. It protects
against the financial impact of certain illnesses, such as a heart attack or cancer. You receive a lump-sum benefit to cover out-of-pocket
expenses for your treatments that are not covered by your medical plan. You can also use the money to take care of your everyday living
expenses, such as housekeeping services, special transportation services, and day care. Benefits are paid directly to you, unless assigned
to someone else.
