Health Reimbursement Account
Exp is offering employees a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) on the high deductible
plan option only to help offset the costs associated with out of pocket expenses.

The company will be adding an annual contribution of $500 automatically to your HRA on
January 1. You can use this money for co-pays, deductibles, or other out of pocket costs
associated with qualified medical, dental, or vision expenses. You will receive a debit card to
access the money.

You are able to earn an additional $500 one time contribution into your HRA fund. Each
employee that completes an on-line Health Risk Assessment will be eligible for an additional
$500 contribution to the HRA.

 Spouses and dependents can use Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) funds only if they
 are enrolled in a health plan that meets the minimum standards of the ACA (either with exp
 or elsewhere). Spouses and dependents with no proper health insurance coverage will not
 qualify for HRA use.

 HRA funds do not roll-over into next plan year. Unused HRA funds will be forfeited at the
 end of the plan year.

 If you elect the Healthcare FSA also, your HRA funds will be used first.

                                                                                                  11
Health Risk Assessment
          A Health Risk Assessment provides you
          with an individual wellness score that
          measures your overall health, will take
          about 20 minutes to complete, and
          includes 50 standard lifestyle questions.

          The Assessment is confidential, and you
          only need to complete the Assessment,
          not achieve a certain score.

          To start the Health Risk Assessment, you
          will need to set up an account at
          www.myuhc.com.
        w.myuhc.com
          No need to submit proof upon completion,
          balances to the HRA will automatically be
          credited the additional $500 on a monthly
                                                      12
          basis.
Scans and Therapies
Scans and Therapies are major diagnostic services such
as MRI, CT Scan, PET Scan, MRA and Nuclear Medicine.

They are typically performed at a hospital or out-patient
center, and sometimes in a doctor’s office.

They can cost several hundred dollars or more (if in-
network, more if out-of-network.)

Use the Treatment Cost Estimator on myUHC.com to
determine what your cost will be.

Regardless of where the test is done, the benefits are
subject to Deductible, then Coinsurance, even if
performed in a doctor’s office (“Covered” does not mean
“Paid at 100%.”)

Saving money on Prescriptions

Mail Order Prescription Benefits:

         You can order a 3 month supply of medicine to be shipped to you for
         only the cost of 2.5 co-pays.
         This saves you time and money for medicines you take on a routine
         basis.

 Generic Medications:
        Several pharmacies now offer special prescription programs,
        including $4 generic drugs and free antibiotics.
        Generic drugs contain the same active ingredients and are
        available in the same strength and dosage form as their brand-
        name counterparts but could cost up to 50% less.

                                                                               14

of qualified dependent care.
By doing so, you reduce your taxable income, which increases
your take-home pay.

   care expenses not covered under your insurance plan with pre-tax
   dollars.
   Please note that the IRS limit is $2,550 annually.

   qualified dependent care expenses.

Important Information for
Flexible Spending Accounts
You must make an election to enroll in the 2016 FSA programs, as this benefit will not roll
over into the new plan year.

If you have any HealthCare FSA funds from 2015 left over, you may roll up to $500 into the
new plan year. This will automatically occur for you, no action is needed on your end.

For 2015 Healthcare FSA participants: You will have until March 31, 2016 to submit for
reimbursement for FSA Health expenses incurred during the plan year from January 1,
2015 to December 31, 2015. There is no longer a grace period for incurring claims in 2016,
because the plan will allow up to $500 of unused funds to roll over into the 2016 plan year.

Please remember that these accounts have a “use it or lose it” rule, so make sure you use
the money in your account by the deadlines.
