ll 2. Guidelines for New Hires and Newly Eligible
Employees You must enroll before your benefits effective date
(benefits are effective the 31st day you are in an eligible
status).
If you are returning to an eligible benefit status – either with an
employment status change or rehire – within 12 months, you are
eligible for benefits on the date you return to an eligible status.
You must enroll within two weeks of your eligible status.
If you don’t enroll in benefits by the stated deadlines, you will
not be eligible to enroll again until the next annual enrollment
period unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event (QLE). QLEs
include changes such as marriage, divorce, birth or adoption or
loss of coverage. You will have 31 days from the date of the QLE to
request a change. See the “Experiencing Some Life Changes” tab on
Mission&Me for more information.
3. Prepare for Enrollment Before you enroll, make sure you get the
facts. Review information in this guide and other information
posted on Mission&Me. Decide which benefits are best for you,
and remember to take the Personal Health Assessment (PHA) prior to
your benefits effective date to receive discounted premiums with
your health plan.

The MissionCare Plan (MCP) features lower deductibles, copays for
office visits and offers you the lowest out-of-pocket amount when
you receive treatment with Mission Health Partners providers. You
also have the chance to save tax-free money for eligible healthcare
expenses by opening a Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA).
You pay no deductible at Mission pharmacies for generic and
preferred brand drugs with the MCP.
The Health Savings Plan (HSP) features lower payroll contributions
than the MCP and, like the MCP, will have the lowest out-of-pocket
amount when you receive treatment with Mission Health Partners
providers. It also allows you to save tax-free money for eligible
healthcare expenses through opening a Health Savings Account (HSA).
After you meet the plan’s deductible, you pay lower coinsurance at
Mission pharmacies.
You have two comprehensive health plan offerings to choose
from:
Mission Health Partners: Includes Mission facilities and Mission

Chronic Condition Clinic The Mission Employee Health Plan, in
partnership with Mission Pharmacy, has put in place an innovative
approach to assist employees and their families in managing the
cost and complexity of certain medications. There are certain drugs
that must be prescribed by the Chronic Condition Clinic and filled
at a Mission- owned pharmacy in order to be covered under Mission’s
pharmacy benefits. This ensures the lowest possible costs to both
you, the patient, as well as our entire health plan. These include
medications for Hepatitis C, Chronic Inflammatory conditions,
certain diabetes medications and certain specialty medications.
There are also some chronic asthma/COPD medications that will
continue to be covered if they are received outside the clinic, but
you will realize the lowest possible costs when working with our
Chronic Condition Clinic. The list of these drugs can be found on
MissionAndMe and is subject to change. The Chronic Condition Clinic
is not the same as the MyHealthyLife™ Chronic Condition Management
Program. Many people can realize benefits from both programs. You
can contact MyHealthyLifeTM Chronic Condition Management program @
(828) 213.4648 /
[email protected] for more information.
MyHealthyLife™ Chronic Condition Management provides support for
you to manage chronic conditions and achieve wellness goals! This
benefit is available to you and your covered dependents insured
through Mission Health.
The program offers personalized education, flexible scheduling,
telephonic and in-person visits with care managers, and innovative
programming for the following conditions:
• Asthma • Depression • Diabetes • Pre-diabetes • High blood
pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, and vascular disease •
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) • Long-term warfarin
(Coumadin®) therapy, in partnership with the Mission
Hospital Outpatient Anticoagulation Service By participating in
this program, Mission will pay 100% for disease-specific lab work,
appointments with MyHealthyLifeTM clinicians, and education
classes. You will benefit by receiving personalized health coaching
and support in addition to $0 copays on approved medications used
to treat your condition. (HSP members will need to meet the health
plan deductible.)

ourselves. Mission Health offers the MyHealthyLifeTM WellConnect
Program to help you maintain or improve your health:

nc e Disability Benefits (Administered by Liberty Mutual)
Life sometimes doesn’t go as planned…so it’s important to be
prepared! You never know when you may need to take time away from
work to recover from an illness or injury — so Mission Health
offers both Short-term (STD) and Long-term Disability (LTD)
benefits just in case.
Both of your disability benefits include:
A core benefit of 40% pay replacement covered by Mission
Additional coverage purchase option of up to 50% pay
replacement
Premiums paid with after-tax contributions (after applicable income
taxes have been deducted), which means if you are paid an STD or
LTD benefit, the money you receive will be tax-free
Short-Term Disability If you are absent from work due to illness or
injury for more than 14 calendar days, you may be eligible for STD
coverage. There is a maximum 14-day waiting period before you will
start to receive this benefit. The maximum benefit period is 24

Employees Care — PTO Donation Employees can donate hours to a PTO
Donation Fund, which will be used to
provide PTO time to other employees who have depleted their own
hours and meet eligibility requirements.
To be eligible to donate, employees must have used at least one
week’s worth of PTO in the prior 12-month period.
The recipient must qualify for a medical emergency (terminal and/or
life threatening) for themselves or a family member — it is not
intended for short-term illnesses, or those that don’t meet this
criteria. The recipient must also not have enough time to either
cover the two-week waiting period before Short-term Disability
benefits begin, or they need two weeks of PTO under a continuous
leave to care for a family member.
A PTO Donation Review Committee will review requests for donations
and make determinations based on a de-identified review of the
requestor’s documentation.
The maximum amount of donated time a qualified employee may receive
is up to 80 hours, and based on FTE status and availability of
donated hours.
