Summary of City of Round Rock Medical Choice Plan Summary Plan Description
This document is a comprehensive Summary Plan Description (SPD) for the City of Round Rock Medical Choice Plan, a self-funded health benefit plan administered by United Healthcare Services, Inc. The plan provides health insurance coverage to approximately 2,400 active employees, retirees, and dependents in Round Rock, Texas, with a plan year running January 1 through December 31. The SPD details all covered health care services, including inpatient and outpatient hospital services, physician services, emergency care, mental health and substance abuse treatment, prescription drugs, preventive care, and various medical equipment and supplies. Coverage includes specialized programs for complex medical conditions such as cancer care, organ transplants, bariatric surgery, congenital heart disease, and kidney disease management. The plan is structured with tiered network and designated provider benefits, requiring covered persons to pay annual deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance based on the type and location of service received.
The plan features a network annual deductible of $500 per covered person (maximum $1,500 per family) and an out-of-pocket limit of $2,500 per individual ($5,000 per family) for network benefits. Covered persons pay varying copayments and coinsurance percentages depending on the service type; for example, office visits range from no cost for preventive care to $35 for specialist visits, while most other services require 10% coinsurance. The plan is not subject to ERISA and is governed by Texas law. The City of Round Rock serves as the plan sponsor and is responsible for funding benefits and providing administrative oversight, while United Healthcare Services, Inc. serves as the claims administrator. The plan document explicitly states that the plan sponsor reserves the right to modify, amend, or terminate the plan at any time, and includes extensive coordination of benefits provisions for individuals covered by Medicare or other health plans. The document also incorporates federal requirements including PPACA provisions, mental health parity standards, and women's health protections.

1 Summary Plan Description
Summary Plan Description
United Healthcare Services, Inc.
What Is the Summary Plan Description?
This Summary Plan Description (SPD) is a summary of the Covered Health Care Services available to you under the City of Round Rock ("Plan Sponsor") Self-Funded health benefit plan. This SPD is a legal document that describes Benefits for the portion of the Plan for which United Healthcare Services, Inc.
("Claims Administrator") administers claims payment, either directly or in conjunction with one of the Claims Administrator's affiliates.
For the purposes of this provision "Self-Funded" means that the Plan Sponsor, on behalf of the Plan, has the sole responsibility to pay, and provide funds, to pay for all Plan benefits. The Claims Administrator has no liability or responsibility to provide these funds. The Claims Administrator is a private healthcare claims administrator. The Claims Administrator is not the Plan Administrator for the Plan. Although the Claims Administrator will assist you in many ways, it does not guarantee any Benefits. The Plan Sponsor is solely responsible for the benefit plan design and funding payment of Benefits.
In addition to this SPD, the Plan includes:
• The Schedule of Benefits.
• Amendments.
• Addendums.
• Summary Material Modifications (SMM).
If there should be an inconsistency between the contents of this summary and the Plan, your rights shall be determined under the Plan and not under this summary. A copy of the plan document is available for your inspection during regular business hours in the office of the Plan Administrator. You (or your personal representative) may obtain a copy of the official plan document by written request to the Plan Administrator, for a nominal charge.
Can This SPD Change?
The Plan Sponsor may, from time to time, change this SPD by attaching legal documents called SMMs and/or Amendments that may change certain provisions of this SPD. When this happens the Plan Sponsor will send you a new SPD, Amendment, Addendums or SMMs.
Other Information You Should Have The Plan Sponsor intends to continue this Plan, but reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, interpret, withdraw or add Benefits, or to end the Plan, as permitted by law, without your approval subject to any collective bargaining agreements, if applicable.
On its effective date, this SPD replaces and overrules any SPD that the Plan Sponsor may have previously issued to you. This SPD will in turn be overruled by any SPD issued to you in the future.
The Plan is not subject to ERISA. To the extent other federal law (e.g. PHSA, IRC) does not apply, TX- Texas law governs the Plan.
2 Introduction to Your SPD
Introduction to Your SPD This SPD and the other Plan documents describe your Benefits, as well as your rights and responsibilities, under the Plan.
What Are Defined Terms?
Certain capitalized words have special meanings. The Plan Sponsor has defined these words in Section 9: Defined Terms.
When the Plan Sponsor uses the words "you" and "your," the Plan Sponsor is referring to people who are Covered Persons, as that term is defined in Section 9: Defined Terms.
How Do You Use This Document?
Read your entire SPD and any attached Amendments, Addendums or SMMs. You may not have all of the information you need by reading just one section. Keep your SPD and Schedule of Benefits and any attachments in a safe place for your future reference. You can also get this SPD at www.myuhc.com.
Review the Benefit limitations of this SPD by reading the attached Schedule of Benefits along with Section 1: Covered Health Care Services and Section 2: Exclusions and Limitations. Read Section 8:
General Legal Provisions to understand how this SPD and your Benefits work. Call the Claims Administrator if you have questions about the limits of the coverage available to you.
If there is a conflict between this SPD and any summaries provided to you by the Plan Sponsor, this SPD controls.
Please be aware that your Physician is not responsible for knowing or communicating your Benefits.
How Do You Contact the Claims Administrator?
Call the telephone number listed on your identification (ID) card. Throughout the document you will find statements that encourage you to contact the Claims Administrator for more information.
3 Your Responsibilities
Your Responsibilities Enrollment and Required Contributions Benefits are available to you if you are enrolled for coverage under the Plan. Your enrollment options, and the corresponding dates that coverage begins, are listed in Section 3: When Coverage Begins. To be enrolled and receive Benefits, both of the following apply:
• Your enrollment must be in accordance with the requirements of the Plan issued to your Plan Sponsor, including the eligibility requirements.
• You must qualify as a Participant or a Dependent as those terms are defined in Section 9: Defined Terms.
Your Plan Sponsor may require you to make certain payments to them, in order for you to remain enrolled under the Plan. If you have questions about this, contact your Plan Sponsor.
Be Aware the Plan Does Not Pay for All Health Care Services The Plan does not pay for all health care services. Benefits are limited to Covered Health Care Services.
The Schedule of Benefits will tell you the portion you must pay for Covered Health Care Services.
Decide What Services You Should Receive Care decisions are between you and your Physician. The Claims Administrator and the Plan Sponsor do not make decisions about the kind of care you should or should not receive.
Choose Your Physician It is your responsibility to select the health care professionals who will deliver your care. The Claims Administrator arranges for Physicians and other health care professionals and facilities to participate in a Network. The Claims Administrator's credentialing process confirms public information about the professionals' and facilities' licenses and other credentials, but does not assure the quality of their services. These professionals and facilities are independent practitioners and entities that are solely responsible for the care they deliver.
Obtain Prior Authorization Some Covered Health Care Services require prior authorization. Physicians and other health care professionals who participate in a Network are responsible for obtaining prior authorization. For detailed information on the Covered Health Care Services that require prior authorization, please refer to the Schedule of Benefits.
Pay Your Share You must meet any applicable deductible and pay a Copayment and/or Coinsurance for most Covered Health Care Services. These payments are due at the time of service or when billed by the Physician, provider or facility. Any applicable deductible, Copayment and Coinsurance amounts are listed in the Schedule of Benefits.
Pay the Cost of Excluded Services You must pay the cost of all excluded services and items. Review Section 2: Exclusions and Limitations to become familiar with the Plan's exclusions.
4 Your Responsibilities
Show Your ID Card You should show your ID card every time you request health care services. If you do not show your ID card, the provider may fail to bill the correct entity for the services delivered.
File Claims with Complete and Accurate Information When you receive Covered Health Care Services from an out-of-Network provider, you are responsible for requesting payment from the Plan. You must file the claim in a format that contains all of the information the Claims Administrator requires to process the claim, as described in Section 5: How to File a Claim.
Use Your Prior Health Care Coverage If you have prior coverage that, as required by state law, extends benefits for a particular condition or a disability, the Plan will not pay Benefits for health care services for that condition or disability until the prior coverage ends. The Plan will pay Benefits as of the day your coverage begins under the Plan for all other Covered Health Care Services that are not related to the condition or disability for which you have other coverage.
5 Claims Administrator and Plan Sponsor Responsibilities
Claims Administrator and Plan Sponsor Responsibilities
Determine Benefits Plan Sponsor and the Claims Administrator make administrative decisions regarding whether the Plan will pay for any portion of the cost of a health care service you intend to receive or have received. Plan Sponsor's and the Claims Administrator's decisions are for payment purposes only. Plan Sponsor and the Claims Administrator do not make decisions about the kind of care you should or should not receive. You and your providers must make those treatment decisions.
Plan Sponsor and the Claims Administrator have the discretion to do the following:
• Interpret Benefits and the other terms, limitations and exclusions set out in this SPD, the Schedule of Benefits and any SMMs and/or Amendments.
• Make factual determinations relating to Benefits.
Plan Sponsor and the Claims Administrator may assign this discretionary authority to other persons or entities including Claims Administrator's affiliates that may provide administrative services for the Plan, such as claims processing. The identity of the service providers and the nature of their services may be changed from time to time in Plan Sponsor's and the Claims Administrator's discretion. In order to receive Benefits, you must cooperate with those service providers.
Process Payment for the Plan's Portion of the Cost of Covered Health Care Services The Claims Administrator processes the Plan's payment of Benefits for Covered Health Care Services as described in Section 1: Covered Health Care Services and in the Schedule of Benefits, unless the service is excluded in Section 2: Exclusions and Limitations. This means the Claims Administrator processes only the payment of the Plan's portion of the cost of Covered Health Care Services. It also means that not all of the health care services you receive may be paid for (in full or in part) by the Plan.
Process Plan Payment to Network Providers It is the responsibility of Network Physicians and facilities to file for payment from the Plan. When you receive Covered Health Care Services from Network providers, you do not have to submit a claim to the Plan.
Process Plan Payment for Covered Health Care Services Provided by Out-of-Network Providers The Claims Administrator processes the Plan's payment of Benefits after receiving your request for payment that includes all required information. See Section 5: How to File a Claim.
Review and Determine Benefits in Accordance with the Claims Administrator's Reimbursement Policies The Claims Administrator adjudicates claims consistent with industry standards. The Claims Administrator develops its reimbursement policy guidelines, in its sole discretion, generally in accordance with one or more of the following methodologies:
• As shown in the most recent edition of the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), a publication of the American Medical Association, and/or the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
6 Claims Administrator and Plan Sponsor Responsibilities
• As reported by generally recognized professionals or publications.
• As used for Medicare.
• As determined by medical staff and outside medical consultants pursuant to other appropriate sources or determinations that the Claims Administrator accepts.
Following evaluation and validation of certain provider billings (e.g., error, abuse and fraud reviews), the Claims Administrator's reimbursement policies are applied to provider billings. The Claims Administrator shares its reimbursement policies with Physicians and other providers in the Claims Administrator's Network through the Claims Administrator's provider website. Network Physicians and providers may not bill you for the difference between their contract rate (as may be modified by the Claims Administrator's reimbursement policies) and the billed charge. However, out-of-Network providers may bill you for any amounts the Plan does not pay, including amounts that are denied because one of the Claims Administrator's reimbursement policies does not reimburse (in whole or in part) for the service billed. You may get copies of the Claims Administrator's reimbursement policies for yourself or to share with your out-of-Network Physician or provider by contacting the Claims Administrator at www.myuhc.com or the telephone number on your ID card.
The Claims Administrator may apply a reimbursement methodology established by OptumInsight and/or a third party vendor, which is based on CMS coding principles, to determine appropriate reimbursement levels for Emergency Health Care Services. The methodology is usually based on elements reflecting the patient complexity, direct costs, and indirect costs of an Emergency Health Care Service. If the methodology(ies) currently in use become no longer available, the Claims Administrator will use comparable methodology(ies). The Claims Administrator and OptumInsight are related companies through common ownership by UnitedHealth Group. Refer to the Claims Administrator's website at www.myuhc.com for information regarding the vendor that provides the applicable methodology.
Offer Health Education Services to You The Claims Administrator may provide you with access to information about additional services that are available to you, such as disease management programs, health education and patient advocacy. It is solely your decision whether to take part in the programs, but it is recommended that you discuss them with your Physician.
