Welcome
RailWorks Corporation recognizes that its success is dependent upon dedicated, hardworking employees. Your daily contributions truly do
make a difference. We appreciate your dedication and are proud to offer you and your family a Benefits Program that is valuable, flexible
and competitive.
Annual Open Enrollment
The annual open enrollment for the 2017 plan year begins on Monday, November 7th and ends on Friday, November 25th. Open enrollment is
the one time each year when you can make changes to your prior elections outside of family status changes or other qualifying events that
may occur throughout the year. This year’s annual open enrollment is a “passive” enrollment, meaning your current elections will remain in
place unless you make changes. This is also the time of year to enroll in a Flexible Spending Account. Please be sure to fill out a new enrollment
form for the FSA if you are electing for 2017.
Please contact the RailWorks Benefits Service Center at 877-692-9157 should you have any questions.
Eligibility for Enrollment in the Premium (100/80) Plan
All eligible non-union full time employees may elect to enroll in the Basic Plan or CDHP Plan for 2017. However, effective with the 2016 plan
year, eligible employees may only elect the Premium Plan for 2017 if they are:
• Newly eligible for benefits OR
• Were previously enrolled in the Premium Plan as of their last termination date
Employees that enroll in the Basic Plan or CDHP will not be eligible to elect the Premium Plan except as of the start of the second plan year after the plan years (or fraction thereof) in which the employee was continuously enrolled in the Basic Plan or CDHP. For example, if you
enrolled in the Basic Plan as of January 1, 2016, and enroll in the Basic Plan for 2017, you will be eligible to enroll in the Premium Plan for 2018.
Individuals that waive medical coverage (currently or prospectively) may only elect the Basic Plan or CDHP Plan and will not be eligible for the
Premium Plan until they have been continuously enrolled in the Basic Plan or CDHP Plan for at least one full plan year, plus an additional plan year or any portion thereof. For example, if a person is hired on July 1, 2017, they must be enrolled in the Basic plan or CDHP Plan for the
remainder of 2017 (6 months), plus the entire 2018 calendar year (12 months). In this case, they are not eligible until 1/1/2019.
The RailWorks Corporation Benefits Program is presented within this benefits guide. This benefits guide will assist you during the Enrollment process. Carefully consider each benefit option, the cost and value to you, and whether it meets your particular needs. On page 14 of this
benefits guide is a step-by-step Decision Guide that outlines each step in the enrollment process.

Plan Year The RailWorks Corporation Benefits Plan year begins on January 1st and ends the following December

Eligibility Your eligibility for benefits under the RailWorks Corporation Benefits Program is dependent upon your
employee status. General eligibility guidelines are listed in the table below.
Enrollment forms must be received no later than 30 calendar days from your eligibility date or you
may not be able to enroll in benefits until the next annual enrollment period, unless you experience a
Qualifying Life Event (see the next page for further information on Qualifying Life Events).
Summary of 2017 Benefits Program The benefits that make up our 2017 Benefits Program can be broken into the following three categories:

Plan Notes Dependent Coverage In addition to electing coverage for yourself, you can elect to cover your eligible dependents. Your
eligible dependents include:
• legal spouse;
• domestic partner (documentation required);
• dependent child(ren) until the end of the month in which they turn 26. Dependent children includes
a natural child, a stepchild, a legally adopted child, a child placed for adoption and/or a child for
whom legal guardianship has been awarded to the employee or the employee’s spouse/domestic
partner. In select circumstances, you can also cover your dependents up to age 29. Refer to page
16 for more detailed information.
If your spouse is eligible to participate in another group health plan: You understand that if your spouse is
eligible to participate in another group health plan, he or she is not eligible to participate in the RailWorks
medical plan, regardless of whether your spouse chooses to enroll in that group health plan.
Only the dependents identified within this section are eligible for coverage under the RailWorks
Corporation Benefits Program. Dependents may be enrolled in medical (including Prescription), Dental,
Vision and Supplemental AD&D benefits. They are also eligible for guidance provided through the
Employee Assistance Program.
RailWorks partners with its carriers to ensure that all plans are compliant with state regulations and
mandates.
Changing Your Benefits – Qualifying Life Events An advantage of your employee benefit plan is that many of your premium contributions are deducted
from your paycheck on a pre-tax basis, thereby reducing your taxable income. We encourage you to
make your benefit decisions wisely since your benefit elections will remain in effect until the next annual
open enrollment period unless you experience an IRS approved qualifying change in status.
Qualifying change in status events include, but are not limited to:
• Marriage
• Birth, adoption or placement for adoption of an eligible child
• Divorce, legal separation or annulment
• Loss of spouse’s job or change in work status where coverage is maintained through the spouse’s
plan
• Death of a spouse or dependent
• Loss of dependent status
• Becoming eligible for Medicare or Medicaid during the year
• Receiving a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO)
For any allowable changes, you must notify the RailWorks Benefits Service Center within 30 calendar days
of the Qualifying Life Event and provide proof of the event. Exceptions to this rule are situations involving
a divorce or legal separation, or the loss of a child’s dependent status. In these situations, you have 60
days from the date of the QLE to make your benefit changes. If you do not notify the RailWorks Benefits
Service Center of the event and provide requested documents within the required timeframe, you may
not be eligible to make changes until the next annual open enrollment period.
Any false or misleading information provided about yourself or your dependents, or any failure to notify
the RailWorks Benefits Service Center of a Qualifying Life Event, such as divorce, legal separation, etc.,
within the required timeframes may constitute insurance fraud and may potentially be grounds for
disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

Plan Overview and Options
Coverage, choice, cost and convenience are factors each of us considers important when selecting a
Medical plan. You have the option to choose between three Cigna plans, the Consumer Driven Health
Plan (CDHP), Basic Plan and Premium Plan.
All Plans utilize the same national Open Access Plus network of providers which features an in-network
and an out-of-network component. These plans allow you to choose any health care provider and do
not require you to select a Primary Care Physician. However, you will generally pay less when you use a
Cigna in-network provider.
THE CONSUMER DRIVEN HEALTH PLAN (CDHP) WITH HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA)
The CDHP provides the same types of services and offers the same provider choices as the Basic and
Premium Plans, however is offered as a lower cost alternative with a higher deductible. The CDHP is
different from the traditional health plan in that you will be responsible for first-dollar payment up to the
annual deductible for all covered services, other than in-network, preventive care.
When you enroll in a CDHP, you are also enrolled automatically into an HSA. Along with lower premiums,
this is a main advantage of choosing a CDHP. An HSA works like a traditional bank account, but the
funds deposited can only be used for qualified medical expenses (as determined by the IRS). You own
your HSA and will not forfeit any unspent funds when you change health plans, change jobs or
retire. You elect the amount you want to contribute to the account on a pre-tax basis.
See page 6 for more information on HSAs.
THE OPEN ACCESS PLUS BASIC PLAN (80/60) This option provides a higher level of in-network coverage when compared to the CDHP plan, but also
has higher employee per pay period contributions. Seeking care from out-of-network providers results in
higher out-of-pocket costs (deductibles and coinsurance) than the Premium Plan.
The Basic Plan In-Network and Out-of-Network Deductibles, Medical Out-of-Pocket Maximums, and
Pharmacy Out-of-Pocket Maximums cross accumulate.
THE OPEN ACCESS PLUS PREMIUM PLAN (100/80) The Premium Plan provides the highest level of overall health care coverage, but also has the highest
employee per pay period contributions. When receiving care within the Cigna network, you will pay the lowest copays and, generally, will not be responsible for out-of-pocket payments for in-network covered
services once the annual deductible is met. If you choose to receive care from out-of-network
providers, the amount you are required to pay out-of-pocket for covered services is the lowest under
this option.
PHARMACY BENEFITS The Basic Plan and Premium Plan have a separate Annual Out-Of-Pocket Maximum for Pharmacy
Benefits. The Annual Out-Of-Pocket Maximum is $1,350 for Individuals and $2,700 for Families. Once the
Annual Out-of-Pocket Maximum is met, the plan pays 100% for prescriptions.
The CDHP does not have a separate Annual Out-Of-Pocket Maximum for Pharmacy Benefits. Amounts
paid Out-Of-Pocket for prescriptions will apply to the Annual Deductible and Medical Out-Of Pocket
Maximum. You will need to meet the applicable deductible before receiving any coverage for
prescriptions.
Medical Benefits
Key Term Cross Accumulate Any expenses applied to the In-Network Annual Deductible or Out-Of-Pocket Maximum also applies to the Out-of-Network Annual Deductible or Out-Of-Pocket Maximum and vice versa.

Key Terms
Annual Deductible The flat amount an individual/family will pay each plan year before the plan begins paying for cov-ered services.
Coinsurance The percentage of charges for covered expenses that an insured person is re-quired to pay. In order for coinsurance to apply, the applicable deductible must be met first.
Copay The flat amount a person pays toward a doctor’s visit or prescriptions.
In-Network Provider In-Network providers agree to accept the Cigna contract-ed network fee. You will generally pay less when using an In-Network provid-er.
Out-Of-Pocket Maximum The maximum amount an individual/family will pay Out-Of-Pocket for covered expenses in a plan year. After the Out-Of-Pocket Maxi-mum is reached, the plan will pay 100% of covered charges.

Health Savings Account (HSA) You are only eligible to enroll in an HSA if you enroll in the CDHP. You are not eligible to enroll if you elect
the Basic or Premium Medical Plan.
What is an HSA? An HSA is a special tax-advantaged savings account. You own your HSA and never lose the funds, so you
take it with you if you change jobs or retire. Because your HSA rolls over year after year, and unused mon-
ey accumulates interest, you have the option to pay for current qualified health care expenses out-of-
pocket and use the account to save for qualified expenses in future years or at retirement on a tax-free
basis.
Who is Eligible to contribute to an HSA? Any individual who:
• Is enrolled in the CDHP
• Is not covered by any other health plan (non-CDHP, Medicare, TRICARE, spouses general purpose
Health Flexible Spending Account, individual coverage, etc.)
• Cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return
What are the benefits of an HSA? • For 2017, RailWorks will be contributing $400 within the first two months of initial enrollment in the
CDHP
• Triple tax advantaged - contributions, interest, earnings and qualified healthcare expense
withdrawals are free from federal and most state taxes
• The money in your HSA belongs to you, so you take it with you if you change jobs or retire
• Choose how to use your HSA dollars
• Use funds to pay for services now, or
• Let funds accumulate for future qualified expenses or supplemental income at retirement
HSA Contributions • Contributions may be made via payroll deduction, or post-tax deposits
• You decide the amount you want to contribute
• You may change your contribution amount at any time
• 2017 IRS maximum contribution (includes employee and employer contributions):
• Single: $3,400
• Family: $6,750
• Qualified individuals that will be turning age 55 or older during 2017 may contribute an additional
$1,000 to their HSA
• Excess contributions are subject to tax and penalties
HSA Key Facts • Enrolled employees will be issued an HSA debit card
• HSA money for qualified expenses may be used after the account is established
• Expenses from your HSA may be paid based on the balance in the account, like a checking ac-
count
• HSA funds may only be used for expenses of anyone you claim as a federal tax dependent
(excluding domestic partners)
• Use of HSA dollars used for nonqualified expenses are subject to taxes and penalties
Examples of Qualified Expenses • Deductibles and Out-Of-Pocket cost for medical and dental care
• Prescriptions
• Vision Care
• Smoking cessation treatment and prescriptions
• Family Planning
• Chiropractic Services

The Health Care FSA is not available to those who elect the CDHP.
RailWorks Corporation lets you redirect a portion of your pay, through payroll deduction, into a Health
Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA). The money that is deposited into your FSA is deducted from your
pay on a pre-tax basis (before Federal, Social Security and some State taxes are calculated). Because you do not pay these taxes on money that goes into your FSA, you decrease your taxable income and
increase your spendable income, hence you pay for certain expenses using pre-tax dollars rather than
after-tax dollars.
Health Care FSA A Health Care FSA provides you with the ability to save money on a pre-tax basis for any IRS-allowed
health care expenses that are not covered by your medical insurance. These expenses include
deductibles, copayments, coinsurance payments, uninsured dental expenses, orthodontia, vision care
expenses (e.g. eyeglasses or contact lenses) and hearing care expenses (e.g. a hearing exam or a
hearing aid). It is important to estimate carefully when making your Health Care FSA election. You can
incur claims through March 15th of the next year. You have until March 31 to submit claims for expenses
that were incurred during the current plan year (January 1 – December 31) and next year (January 1-
March 15). If there are any funds remaining in your FSA after March 31, Federal law requires you to
forfeit the balance.
During your 2017 enrollment process, you must make your Flexible Spending Account elections. The
maximum annual amount you may deposit into a Health Care FSA is $1,800. The minimum annual
amount you may deposit into a Health Care FSA is $120.
How A Health Care FSA Works Each month, money is deducted from your pay and accumulates in your Health Care FSA. You can be
reimbursed for eligible expenses up to an amount that equals the total annual contribution you have
elected regardless of your account balance. You may begin to use some or all of the total amount
elected as soon as the plan year begins.
Commonly Asked Questions
What happens if my employment terminates before the end of the plan year? Eligible services provided
prior to your termination date will be eligible for reimbursement. However, such claims must be
submitted to Cigna no later than 60 days after your termination date. Services provided after your
termination date will not be eligible for reimbursement unless you are eligible to continue coverage
under COBRA.
If I terminate employment, can I receive a refund for the cash balance remaining in my FSA? No. IRS
regulations do not allow this.
If I terminate employment, but did not fully fund my account prior to my termination date, must I repay
my employer? No. IRS regulations do not allow this.
Savings Example By anticipating your family’s annual health care costs, you can actually lower your taxable income and
increase your take-home pay (i.e. spendable income). Here’s an example:
Health Care FSA
If You Participate If You Don’t Participate
Annual Salary (before taxes) $30,000 $30,000
Annual FSA Contribution -$1,800 $0
Taxable Income $28,200 $30,000
Income Taxes and Social Security (at 25%) -$7,050 -$7,500
Take-Home Pay $21,150 $22,500
Less Health Care Expenses $0* -$1,800
Annual Spendable Income $21,150 $20,700
Estimated Pre-Tax Savings $450 $0

Dental Benefits Good dental health is important to your overall well-being. RailWorks Corporation will continue to offer
employees the choice of two dental plan options through Cigna: the Basic Plan and Enhanced Plan.
Both dental plan options cover the same types of services and offer the same provider choices. If you
enroll in one of the available dental plans, you will be given the freedom to receive care from:
DPPO ADVANTAGE DENTIST (IN-NETWORK) You will usually pay the lowest out-of-pocket for covered services when you visit DPPO Advantage dentists because these providers have agreed to accept a reduced fee for RailWorks participants.
DPPO DENTIST (IN-NETWORK) When seeing a DPPO dentist, network savings are available. You will usually have higher Out-Of-Pocket
expenses when utilizing these type of providers. DPPO participating providers are paid directly by Cigna,
and cannot bill the patient more than the applicable copayments or deductibles for the services
provided.
OUT-OF-NETWORK DENTIST
If you choose to receive care from an out-of-network dentist, your out-of-pocket expenses will typically
be the highest. Out-of-network providers may bill you the difference between Cigna’s reimbursement
amount and their actual charges. Please note, Cigna’s out-of-network reimbursement amount is based
on reasonable and customary charges. Reference your certificate of coverage for more details.
When you use an in-network dentist they file the claim on your behalf and accept payment directly
from Cigna. If you use an out-of-network dentist, you may be required to submit the claim to Cigna and
wait for payment from Cigna. Additionally, in some cases the out of network dentist may require
payment at the time of service.
Please remember staying healthy begins with preventive care! You may receive two cleanings per
calendar year covered at 100% (no cost sharing to you) as long as you utilize an in-network provider.

The Davis Vision Plan The Davis Vision Plan provides affordable, comprehensive vision care coverage. This plan allows you to
receive a complete eye examination and materials (if needed). You can choose to receive care from a
participating Davis Vision provider or from any provider of your choosing. Dollar for dollar, you get the
best value from your vision benefits when you visit a Davis Vision provider. If you decide to receive care
from an out-of-network provider, copays still apply. You will also receive a lesser benefit and typically pay
more out-of-pocket.
This plan allows for services and materials to be obtained every 12 or 24 months (see “Vision Plan
Summary” below) based on the last date of service.
Contact Lens Evaluation, Fitting and Follow-Up Care: Fitting and evaluation fees are covered in full for all
Davis Vision Collection contact lenses and standard contact lenses outside of the Davis Vision Collection.
For specialty contact lenses (e.g. toric, multifocal, gas permeable, etc.) outside of the Davis Vision
Collection, you will receive $60 for your fitting and evaluation fees plus 15% off any remaining balance.

Life and AD&D Insurance Life and AD&D insurance are important parts of your financial security, especially if others depend on you for support. That’s why RailWorks Corporation provides you with Company-Paid Life and Accidental Death and
Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance at no cost to you. In addition, you have the option to purchase
Supplemental Life and AD&D Insurance. Your Company-Paid and Supplemental Life and AD&D Insurance
benefits are provided through Cigna.
Company-Paid Life and AD&D Insurance Your Company-Paid Life and AD&D Insurance coverage amount is based on your employee status. The specific coverage amount provided to each employee group is listed in the table below.
LIFE INSURANCE DIFFERENCES COVERAGE SPECIFICS Maximum Life Insurance Coverage Amount Your life insurance coverage amount (Company-Paid and Supplemental combined) cannot exceed $1 million.
Age Reduction (Company-Paid and Supplement Life and AD&D Insurance) On your 70th birthday, your Life and AD&D Insurance benefits reduce by 35% of the amount you had in place prior to reaching age 70. On your 75th birthday, your coverage reduces by 50% of the coverage amount you had in place before age 70.
IMPUTED INCOME (ONLY PERTAINS TO BASIC LIFE) The IRS places a value on insurance coverage in excess of $50,000 that is provided through group term life
insurance programs. The older you are and/or the greater your insurance coverage amount, the higher the
value that the IRS places on your coverage. This value is known as “imputed income”, and it is considered taxable income. To avoid potential imputed income, you have the option to reduce your Company-Paid Life
Insurance benefit to $50,000 (only applicable if salary exceeds $50,000).
CONVERSION PRIVILEGE If you terminate employment with RailWorks Corporation, you have the option to convert your Company-Paid
Life policy. This option allows you to convert your coverage into an individual policy without having to submit
Evidence of Insurability provided that written request to convert coverage is made within 31 days of
termination.
Supplemental Employee Life Insurance In addition to your Company-Paid coverage, you may also purchase Supplemental Life Insurance for
yourself. Coverage can be purchased in increments of salary (1x, 2x, 3x, 4x) up to a maximum of the
lesser of 4x annual salary or $350,000. The guarantee issue amount is the lesser of 3x salary or $100,000.
Coverage requested over the guarantee issue amount will require evidence of insurability. The minimum
amount of coverage you can purchase through this plan is $10,000. Guarantee Issue will only be offered to new hires that are first eligible. If you do not enroll when you are first eligible as a new hire, and try to enroll at
a later date, you will be considered a “late entrant” and will be subject to Evidence of Insurability
underwriting and approval from the carrier before coverage is issued.
CONTINUITY OF COVERAGE (PORTABILITY) If you terminate employment with RailWorks Corporation, you have the option to port your Supplemental Life
policy. This option allows you to port your coverage at group rates without having to submit Evidence of
Insurability provided that written request to port coverage is made within 31 days of termination.
Supplemental AD&D Insurance You are also given the option of electing Supplemental AD&D Insurance. This benefit provides coverage for
the loss of life and other injuries that result from a covered accident. You may purchase coverage for yourself,
your spouse/domestic partner and your dependent child(ren). Your Supplemental AD&D benefit options are
summarized below.
EVIDENCE OF INSURABILITY (EOI) EOI is an insurance Company requirement that is satisfied by completing a form supplied by Cigna and answering any questions that may be presented to you. Supplemental Life Insurance amounts requiring EOI do not become effective and are not deducted from your pay until approval is received from Cigna.
Employee Status Company-Paid life Insurance Company-Paid AD&D Insurance
Hourly Employees 1x Salary (up to $650,000) 1x Salary (up to $650,000)

The disability benefits provided by RailWorks Corporation work together to help you pay your household
expenses if you become disabled and cannot work. These disability benefits also work with other sources
of coverage to replace a certain percentage of your earnings. As a result, the disability payments you receive from the RailWorks Corporation Plan will be reduced by any benefits you are eligible to receive
from Social Security, Workers’ Compensation, Retirement Benefits or any other disability coverage to
which you are entitled. Your disability benefits are administered by Cigna.
Company-Paid Short-Term Disability RailWorks provides executives and salaried employees with Short-Term Disability coverage at no cost. This
coverage will provide income replacement benefits when you are unable to work for a brief period of
time due to a covered illness or injury. The Short-Term disability benefits available are outlined in the table
below.

You’ve reviewed your Benefit Plan options and made your choices. Now take a moment to wrap up the
enrollment process by completing the steps below.
Step 1 – Make Your Medical, Dental and Vision Benefit Elections
Before you do, what levels of coverage are best for you? There is no single best plan. The answer to this
question depends on your personal situation.
Think about the expenses that you and your family had in the past year. How often do you and your
family go to the doctor? Do your doctors participate in your plans of choice? Does anyone in your family
wear prescription eyewear? Are you taking any maintenance medications? Does your spouse have
available coverage?
Step 2 – Make Your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) / Health Savings Account
(HSA) Election
Consider the pre-tax benefits associated with using an FSA / HSA to pay for your ongoing expenses that
qualify for reimbursement. You may not contribute to both accounts.
You must be enrolled in the CDHP and meet other requirements (see “Who is Eligible to contribute to an
HSA?” on page 6) to be eligible to contribute to an HSA.
While using an FSA can be very beneficial, it does require careful advanced planning due to the IRS
“use-it-or-lose-it” rule.
Step 3 – Make Your Supplemental Life and AD&D Insurance Benefit Elections
After reviewing your options, stop and consider how much money your family would need to cover your
financial obligations if something should happen to you. Think of things like rent or mortgage payments, college tuition and regular day-to-day living expenses. How much coverage do you have elsewhere?
Remember to consider all sources of protection you have available.
Step 4 – Designate Your Life and AD&D Insurance Beneficiary(ies)
Also, take a moment to designate your beneficiary(ies). It is important to keep your beneficiary
designation as up-to-date as possible. Should something happen to you, your benefits will be paid to the
most recent beneficiary(ies) on file. If you neglect to designate a beneficiary, your benefits will be paid
to your estate.
Step 5 – Double-Check Your Elections
Double-check your benefit elections, making sure they accurately reflect the benefits you wish to
maintain throughout the plan year.
Step 6 – Submit Your Benefit Elections
Once you have decided what benefit options best meets your needs, please complete and submit your
benefits enrollment form within the requested timeframe. Contact the RailWorks Benefits Service
Center at 1-877-692-9157 if you have any questions. Representatives are available 9 AM - 9 PM ET,
Monday through Friday.
Decision Guide
Beneficiary Type Primary The person or people named by you that are first in line to receive a specified share of benefits in the event of your passing.

Newborn & Mothers’ Health Protection Act Under Federal law, group health plans and health insurance issuers offering group health insurance coverage generally may
not restrict benefits for any hospital length of stay in connection with childbirth for the mother or newborn child to less than 48
hours following a vaginal delivery, or less than 96 hours following a delivery by cesarean section. However, the plan or issuer
may pay for a shorter stay if the attending provider (e.g. your physician, nurse midwife or physician’s assistant) after
consultation with the mother, discharges the mother or newborn earlier.
Plans and issuers may not select the level of benefits or out-of-pocket costs so that any later portion of the 48-hour (or 96-hour)
stay is treated in a manner less favorable to the mother or newborn than any earlier portion of the stay.
In addition, a plan or issuer may not require that a physician or other health care provider obtain authorization for prescribing
a length of stay of up to 48 hours (or 96 hours). However, to use certain providers or facilities, or to reduce your out-of-pocket
costs, you may be required to obtain pre-certification.
Women’s Health & Cancer Rights Act On October 21, 1988, the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act became effective. This law requires group health plans that
provide coverage for mastectomies to also cover reconstructive surgery and prostheses following mastectomies.
As the Act requires, we have included this notification to inform you about the law’s provisions. The law mandates that a plan
participant receiving benefits for a medically necessary mastectomy who elects breast reconstruction after the mastectomy,
will also receive coverage for reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy has been performed, surgery and
reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance, prostheses, treatment of physical complications of
all stages of mastectomy, including lymphedemas.
This coverage will be provided in consultation with the attending physician and the patient, and will be subject to the same annual deductibles and coinsurance provisions that apply for the mastectomy.
Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA) CHIPRA was signed into law to expand state CHIP eligibility to more children and expectant mothers with an extended 60-day
time frame to coordinate any changes to employer health elections in the event of gain or loss of eligibility and/or a subsidy
under Medicaid or CHIP.
Mental Health Parity Act (MHPA) The Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 provided that a health care plan or policy may not provide separate lower annual or
lifetime dollar maximums (considered financial maximums) on mental health benefits as compared to medical benefits. With
the passage of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act and its inclusion of the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity
Act of 2008 (Mental Health Parity Act or MHPA), the original act was extended to include the same provisions for substance
abuse disorders, not just mental health disorders. Further the MHPA also disallows more restrictive treatment limitations (number
of covered office visits, inpatient days of coverage, etc.) for both disorders. These, along with other revisions and clarifications
are effective for plan years beginning after 12/31/2009.
Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) HIPAA requires that you be informed of your Special Enrollment rights when you and/or your eligible dependents decline
health care coverage during the initial enrollment period.
If you are declining coverage for yourself or your dependents (including your spouse) because of other health insurance
coverage, you may in the future be able to enroll yourself and/or your eligible dependents in a medical plan provided that
you request coverage after your other coverage ends within the specified timeframe. In addition, if you have a new
dependent as a result of marriage, birth, adoptions or placement for adoption or a court order, you may be able to enroll
yourself and/or your dependents, provided that you request enrollment within 31 days after the marriage, birth, adoption or
placement for adoption or the court order.
Important Laws and Notices
16
Important Laws and Notices Michelle’s Law (HR2851) Michelle’s Law provides the ability to continue health benefits for up to 12 months for a dependent child attending college on a
full-time basis who because of medical reasons requires a leave of absence or a change to part-time status. Previously, coverage
would have been discontinued and available only under COBRA.
Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) USERRA protects the job rights of individuals who voluntarily or involuntarily leave employment positions to undertake military
service or certain types of service in the National Disaster Medical System. USERRA also prohibits employers from discriminating
against past and present members of the uniformed services, and applicants to the uniformed services.
The Act also states that if an employee leaves their job to perform military service, they have the right to elect to continue existing
employer-based health plan coverage for the employee and their eligible dependents for up to 24 months while in the military.
Even if the employee doesn’t elect to continue coverage during their military service, they have the right to be reinstated in their
employer’s health plan when they are reemployed, generally without any waiting periods or exclusions (e.g. pre-existing
condition exclusions) except for service-connected illnesses or injuries.
New York State Dependent through Age 29 Chapter 240 of the Laws of 2009, sometimes called the “Age 29” law, permits eligible young adults through the age of 29 to
continue or obtain coverage through a parent’s group policy. Employees or their eligible dependents may then elect the benefit
and pay the premium, which cannot be more than 100% of the single premium rate. This benefit is referred to here as the “young
adult option”. It is called the young adult option benefit because it permits eligible young adults to continue their coverage
through a parent’s health insurance coverage once they reach the maximum age of dependency under the policy. Young
adults may also elect this coverage when they newly meet the eligibility criteria, such as if they lose eligibility for group health
insurance coverage.
In order to participate, the young adult’s parent must be covered under the group policy as an employee or member of the
group or pursuant to a right under the federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) or state continuation
coverage law.
To qualify, the young adult must:
1. Be unmarried;
2. Be 29 years of age or under;3. Not be insured by or eligible for comprehensive (i.e. medical and hospital) health insurance through his or her own
employer;
4. Live, work or reside in New York State or the health insurance company’s service area; and
5. Not be covered under Medicare.
Please note that the young adult does not have to live with a parent, be financially dependent on a parent, or be a student. For
more information or to enroll your eligible dependent, please contact Cigna at 1-800-244-6224.
