You may choose to enroll in the Standard Medical Plan which includes
a Health Savings Account (HSA) or the Plus Medical Plan. If you elect to
participate in one of the medical plans, you may also enroll your eligible
dependents. An overview comparison on the following page provides a
brief outline of the in-network and out-of-network benefits for each plan.
The Standard Medical Plan and Plus Medical Plan use the same network
of Aetna health care providers. However, if you are a Plus Medical Plan
member and live in an area serviced by Aetna’s Aexcel network, you will
also be able to take advantage of no-referral access to Aexcel-designated
doctors in 12 selected categories of specialty care. As an Aexcel plan
member, you’ll generally pay the lowest out-of-pocket expense under the
terms of the plan when you visit an Aexcel-designated specialist.

2. Out-of-pocket maximum does not include copays.
3. On the Standard Plan, if coverage is elected for one or more dependents, the entire family deductible ($3,000 in-network) must be met in full before any one member will receive coinsurance or prescription drug copayments under the plan. The EE + 1 or EE +
Family out-of-pocket maximum can be met with a combination of family members or any single individual within the family. Once met, the plan will pay 100% of the family’s covered expenses for the rest of the plan year.
4. The Standard Plan medical deductible must be met before prescription drugs will be covered at the stated copays. Until the deductible is satisfied, members are responsible for all Rx costs.
