Special Plan Provisions When you select a Participating Provider, this plan pays a greater share of the costs than if you select a non-Participating Provider. Participating Providers include Physicians, Hospitals and Other Health Professionals and Other Health Care Facilities. Consult your Physician Guide for a list of Participating Providers in your area. Participating Providers are committed to providing you and your Dependents appropriate care while lowering medical costs.

Services Available in Conjunction With Your Medical Plan The following pages describe helpful services available in conjunction with your medical plan. You can access these services by calling the toll-free number shown on the back of your ID card.

HC-SPP70 01-21

Case Management Case Management is a service provided through a Review Organization, which assists individuals with treatment needs that extend beyond the acute care setting. The goal of Case Management is to ensure that patients receive appropriate care in the most effective setting possible whether at home, as an outpatient, or an inpatient in a Hospital or specialized facility.

Should the need for Case Management arise, a Case Management professional will work closely with the patient, his or her family and the attending Physician to determine appropriate treatment options which will best meet the patient's needs and keep costs manageable. The Case Manager will help coordinate the treatment program and arrange for necessary resources. Case Managers are also available to answer questions and provide ongoing support for the family in times of medical crisis.

Case Managers are Registered Nurses (RNs) and other credentialed health care professionals, each trained in a clinical specialty area such as trauma, high risk pregnancy and neonates, oncology, mental health, rehabilitation or general medicine and surgery. A Case Manager trained in the appropriate clinical specialty area will be assigned to you or your dependent. In addition, Case Managers are supported by a panel of Physician advisors who offer guidance on up-to-date treatment programs and medical technology. While the Case Manager recommends alternate treatment programs and helps coordinate needed resources, the patient's attending Physician remains responsible for the actual medical care.

• You, your dependent or an attending Physician can request Case Management services by calling the toll-free number shown on your ID card during normal business hours, Monday through Friday. In addition, your employer, a claim office or a utilization review program (see the PAC/CSR section of your certificate) may refer an individual for Case Management.

• The Review Organization assesses each case to determine whether Case Management is appropriate.

• You or your Dependent is contacted by an assigned Case Manager who explains in detail how the program works.

Participation in the program is voluntary - no penalty or benefit reduction is imposed if you do not wish to participate in Case Management.

• Following an initial assessment, the Case Manager works with you, your family and Physician to determine the needs of the patient and to identify what alternate treatment programs are available (for example, in-home medical care in lieu of an extended Hospital convalescence). You are not penalized if the alternate treatment program is not followed.

• The Case Manager arranges for alternate treatment services and supplies, as needed (for example, nursing services or a Hospital bed and other Durable Medical Equipment for the home).

• The Case Manager also acts as a liaison between the insurer, the patient, his or her family and Physician as needed (for example, by helping you to understand a complex medical diagnosis or treatment plan).

• Once the alternate treatment program is in place, the Case Manager continues to manage the case to ensure the treatment program remains appropriate to the patient's needs.

While participation in Case Management is strictly voluntary, Case Management professionals can offer quality, cost-effective treatment alternatives, as well as provide assistance in obtaining needed medical resources and ongoing family support in a time of need.

Incentives to Participating Providers Cigna continuously develops programs to help our customers access quality, cost-effective health care. Some programs include Participating Providers receiving financial incentives from Cigna for providing care to members in a way that meets or exceeds certain quality and/or cost-efficiency standards, when, in the Participating Provider’s professional judgment, it is appropriate to do so within the applicable standard of care.

For example, some Participating Providers could receive financial incentives for utilizing or referring you to alternative sites of care as determined by your plan rather than in a more expensive setting, or achieving particular outcomes for certain health conditions. Participating Providers may also receive purchasing discounts when purchasing certain prescription drugs from Cigna affiliates. Such programs can help make you healthier, decrease your health care costs, or both. These programs are not intended to affect your access to the health care that you need. We encourage you to talk to your Participating Provider if you have questions about whether they receive financial incentives from Cigna and whether those incentives apply to your care.

HC-SPP85 01-24

Care Management and Care Coordination Services Your plan may enter into specific collaborative arrangements with health care professionals committed to improving quality care, patient satisfaction and affordability. Through these collaborative arrangements, health care professionals commit to proactively providing participants with certain care management and care coordination services to facilitate achievement of these goals. Reimbursement is provided at 100% for these services when rendered by designated health care professionals in these collaborative arrangements.

Federal CAA - Consolidated Appropriations Act and TIC

- Transparency in Coverage Notice Cigna will make available an internet-based self-service tool for use by individual customers, as well as certain data in machine-readable file format on a public website, as required under the Transparency in Coverage rule. Customers can access the cost estimator tool on myCigna.com. Updated machine-readable files can be found on Cigna.com and/or CignaForEmployers.com on a monthly basis.

Pursuant to Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA), Section 106, Cigna will submit certain air ambulance claim information to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in accordance with guidance issued by HHS.

Subject to change based on government guidance for CAA Section 204, Cigna will submit certain prescription drug and health care spending information to HHS through Plan Lists Files (P1-P3) and Data Files (D1-D8) (D1-D2) for an Employer without an integrated pharmacy product aggregated at the market segment and state level, as outlined in guidance.

HC-IMP353 01-24

Federal CAA - Consolidated Appropriations Act Continuity of Care In certain circumstances, if you are receiving continued care from an In-Network provider or facility, and that provider’s network status changes from In-Network to Out-of-Network, you may be eligible to continue to receive care from the provider at the In-Network cost-sharing amount for up to 90 days from the date you are notified of your provider’s termination. A continuing care patient is an individual who is:

• Undergoing treatment for a serious and complex condition

• Pregnant and undergoing treatment for the pregnancy

• Receiving inpatient care

• Scheduled to undergo urgent or emergent surgery, including postoperative

• Terminally ill (having a life expectancy of 6 months or less) and receiving treatment from the provider for the illness If applicable, Cigna will notify you of your continuity of care options.

Appeals Any external review process available under the plan will apply to any adverse determination regarding claims subject to the No Surprises Act.

Provider Directories and Provider Networks A list of network providers is available to you, without charge, by visiting the website or calling the phone number on your ID card. The network consists of providers, including Hospitals, of varied specialties as well as generic practice, affiliated or contracted with Cigna or an organization contracting on its behalf.

A list of network pharmacies is available to you, without charge, by visiting the website or calling the phone number on your ID card. The network consists of pharmacies affiliated or contracted with Cigna or an organization contracting on its behalf.

Provider directory content is verified and updated, and processes are established for responding to provider network status inquiries, in accordance with applicable requirements of the No Surprises Act.

myCigna.com11

If you rely on a provider’s In-Network status in the provider directory or by contacting Cigna at the website or phone number on your ID card to receive covered services from that provider, and that network status is incorrect, then your plan cannot impose Out-of-Network cost shares to that covered service. In-Network cost share must be applied as if the covered service were provided by an In-Network provider.

Direct Access to Obstetricians and Gynecologists You do not need prior authorization from the plan or from any other person (including a primary care provider) in order to obtain access to obstetrical or gynecological care from a health care professional in our network who specializes in obstetrics or gynecology. The health care professional, however, may be required to comply with certain procedures, including obtaining prior authorization for certain services, following a pre-approved treatment plan, or procedures for making referrals. For a list of participating health care professionals who specialize in obstetrics or gynecology, access the website or call the phone number on your ID card.

Selection of a Primary Care Provider This plan generally allows the designation of a primary care provider. You have the right to designate any primary care provider who participates in the network and who is available to accept you or your family members. For children, you may designate a pediatrician as the primary care provider. For information on how to select a primary care provider, and for a list of the participating primary care providers, access the website or call the phone number on your ID card.

Your Rights and Protections Against Surprise Medical Bills When you get emergency care or are treated by an Out-of- Network provider at an In-Network Hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from balance billing. In these situations, you should not be charged more than your plan’s Copayments, Coinsurance, and/or Deductible.

What is “balance billing” (sometimes called “surprise billing”)?

When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain out-of-pocket costs, such as a Copayment, Coinsurance, and/or Deductible. You may have additional costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that is not in your health plan’s network.

“Out-of-Network” means providers and facilities that have not signed a contract with your health plan to provide services.

Out-of-Network providers may be allowed to bill you for the difference between what your plan pays and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing”. This amount is likely more than In-Network costs for the same service and might not count toward your plan’s Deductible or annual out-of-pocket limit.

“Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you cannot control who is involved in your care

– such as when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an In-Network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an Out-of-Network provider. Surprise medical bills could cost thousands of dollars depending on the procedure or service.

You are protected from balance billing for:

• Emergency Services – If you have an Emergency Medical

Condition and get Emergency Services from an Out-of- Network provider or facility, the most they can bill you is your plan’s In-Network cost-sharing amount (such as a Copayments, Coinsurance, and Deductibles). You cannot be balanced billed for these Emergency Services. This includes services you may get after you are in stable condition, unless you give written consent and give up your protections not to be balanced billed for these post-stabilization services.

• Certain non-emergency services at an In-Network Hospital or ambulatory surgical center – When you get services from an In-Network Hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be Out-of- Network. In these cases, the most those providers can bill you is your plan’s In-Network cost sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers cannot balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balanced billed.

If you get other types of services at these In-Network facilities, Out-of-Network providers cannot balance bill you, unless you give written consent and give up your protections.

You are never required to give up your protections from balance billing. You also are not required to get Out-of- Network care. You can choose a provider or facility in your plan’s network.

When balance billing is not allowed, you have these protections:

• You are only responsible for paying your share of the cost

(such as Copayments, Coinsurance, and Deductibles that you would pay if the provider were In-Network). Your health plan will pay any additional costs to Out-of-Network providers and facilities directly.

• Generally, your health plan must:

• Cover Emergency Services without requiring you to get approval in advance for services (also known as prior authorization).

• Cover Emergency Services provided by Out-of-Network providers.

myCigna.com12

• Base what you owe the provider or facility (cost sharing) on what it would pay an In-Network provider or facility and show that amount in your explanation of benefits

(EOB).

• Count any amount you pay for Emergency Services or Out-of-Network services toward your In-Network Deductible and out-of-pocket limit.

If you think you have been wrongly billed, contact Cigna at the phone number on your ID card. You can also contact No Surprises Help Desk at 1-800-985-3059 or www.cms.gov/nosurprises for more information about your rights under federal law.

HC-IMP326 01-24

Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA) - Non-Quantitative Treatment Limitations (NQTLs) Federal MHPAEA regulations provide that a plan cannot impose a Non-Quantitative Treatment Limitation (NQTL) on mental health or substance use disorder (MH/SUD) benefits in any classification unless the processes, strategies, evidentiary standards, or other factors used in applying the NQTL to MH/SUD benefits are comparable to, and are applied no more stringently than, those used in applying the NQTL to medical/surgical benefits in the same classification of benefits as written and in operation under the terms of the plan.

A description of your plan’s NQTL methodologies and processes applied to medical/surgical benefits and MH/SUD benefits is available by accessing the link at www.cigna.com/sp.

To determine which document applies to your plan, select the relevant health plan product; medical management model (inpatient only or inpatient and outpatient) which can be located in this booklet immediately following The Schedule;

and pharmacy coverage (whether or not your plan includes pharmacy coverage).

HC-NOT137 01-24

How To File Your Claim There’s no paperwork for In-Network care. Just show your identification card and pay your share of the cost, if any; your provider will submit a claim to Cigna for reimbursement. Out-of-Network claims can be submitted by the provider if the provider is able and willing to file on your behalf. If the provider is not submitting on your behalf, you must send your completed claim form and itemized bills to the claims address listed on the claim form.

You may get the required claim forms from the website listed on your identification card or by using the toll-free number on your identification card.

If services are rendered on consecutive days, such as for a Hospital Confinement, the limit will be counted from the last date of service. If claims are not submitted within 180 days for Out-of-Network benefits, the claim will not be considered valid and will be denied.

Important Information About Your Medical Plan Details of your medical benefits are described on the following pages.

Opportunity to Select a Primary Care Physician This medical plan does not require that you select a Primary Care Physician or obtain a referral from a Primary Care Physician in order to receive all benefits available to you under this medical plan. Notwithstanding, a Primary Care Physician may serve an important role in meeting your health care needs by providing or arranging for medical care for you and your Dependents. For this reason, we encourage the use of Primary Care Physicians and provide you with the opportunity to select a Primary Care Physician from a list provided by Cigna for yourself and your Dependents. If you choose to select a Primary Care Physician, the Primary Care Physician you select for yourself may be different from the Primary Care Physician you select for each of your Dependents. If you need assistance selecting your Primary Care Physician, please visit our website at www.cigna.com or call the number on the back of your ID Card.

The Primary Care Physician's role is to provide or arrange for medical care for you and any of your Dependents.

You and your Dependents are allowed direct access to Participating Physicians for covered services. Even if you select a Primary Care Physician, there is no requirement to obtain an authorization of care from your Primary Care Physician for visits to the Participating Physician of your myCigna.com14 choice, including Participating Specialist Physicians, for covered services.

Changing Primary Care Physicians You may request a transfer from one Primary Care Physician to another by visiting our website at www.cigna.com or calling the number on the back of your ID Card. Any such transfer will be effective on the first day of the month following the month in which the processing of the change request is completed.

In addition, if at any time a Primary Care Physician ceases to be a Participating Provider, you or your Dependent will be notified for the purpose of selecting a new Primary Care Physician, if you choose.

Open Access Plus Medical Benefits The Schedule

For You and Your Dependents Open Access Plus Medical Benefits provide coverage for care In-Network and Out-of-Network. To receive Open Access Plus Medical Benefits, you and your Dependents may be required to pay a portion of the Covered Expenses for services and supplies. That portion is the Deductible or Coinsurance.

When you receive services from an In-Network Provider, remind your provider to utilize In-Network Providers for x-rays, lab tests and other services to ensure the cost may be considered at the In-Network level.

If you are unable to locate an In-Network Provider in your area who can provide you with a service or supply that is covered under this plan, you must call the number on the back of your I.D. card to obtain authorization for Out-of- Network Provider coverage. If you obtain authorization for services provided by an Out-of-Network Provider, benefits for those services will be covered at the In-Network benefit level.

Important Notice on Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Coverage Covered medical services received to diagnose or treat a Mental Health or Substance Use Disorder condition will be payable according to the Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder sections of The Schedule.

Coinsurance The term Coinsurance means the percentage of Covered Expenses that an insured person is required to pay under the plan in addition to the Deductible, if any.

Deductibles Deductibles are Covered Expenses to be paid by you or your Dependent before benefits are payable under this plan.

The following Expenses contribute to the Out-of-Pocket Maximum, and when the Out-of-Pocket Maximum shown in The Schedule is reached, they are payable by the benefit plan at 100%:

• Coinsurance.

All other plan maximums and service-specific maximums (dollar and occurrence) cross-accumulate between In- and Out-of-Network unless otherwise noted.

Multiple Surgical Reduction Multiple surgeries performed during one operating session result in payment reduction of 50% to the surgery of lesser charge. The most expensive procedure is paid as any other surgery.

Assistant Surgeon and Co-Surgeon Charges

Assistant Surgeon The maximum amount payable will be limited to charges made by an assistant surgeon that do not exceed a percentage of the surgeon's allowable charge as specified in Cigna Reimbursement Policies. (For purposes of this limitation, allowable charge means the amount payable to the surgeon prior to any reductions due to coinsurance or deductible amounts.)

Co-Surgeon The maximum amount payable for charges made by co-surgeons will be limited to the amount specified in Cigna Reimbursement Policies.

The member is responsible for applicable In-Network cost-sharing amounts (any deductible, copay or coinsurance). The member is not responsible for any charges that may be made in excess of the allowable amount. If the Out-of-Network provider bills you for an amount higher than the amount you owe as indicated on the Explanation of Benefits (EOB), contact Cigna Customer Service at the phone number on your ID card.
