How the Plan Works This Section explains how your Health Benefit Plan works, how to access your Primary Care Practitioner to get Health Care Services, requirements you must follow when getting care and how to receive Covered Benefits under this Agreement. This plan is an “HMO” (Health Maintenance Organization). People who receive Health Care Benefits through an HMO are sometimes called “Enrollees” or “Subscribers. We strive to work closely with Subscribers, their Covered Dependents, and their health care Practitioners/Providers to prevent illness and provide quality, cost-effective health care. Because of this close working relationship, we consider our Enrollees and Subscribers to be Members of our health plan. This plan is a fully qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) which means that you must meet an individual or family Deductible before any benefits (including pharmacy benefits) are paid out by PHP. Once the Deductible is met, you will be required to pay a Coinsurance (in most cases) or portion of the cost of the Covered services that are provided. This is explained in greater detail in the General Information Section. Preventive benefits, as defined by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are not subject to the Deductible. This means you can access this benefit and the plan will pay even if you have not met the individual or family Deductible. Please see the “Clinical Preventive Services” benefit on your Summary of Benefits and Coverage for further information. Prescription Drugs are not part of the Clinical Preventive Services benefit and thus, are subject to the Deductible and Coinsurance listed in the Summary of Benefits and Coverage. This Plan is qualified for use in conjunction with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Please see the “HSA Note(s)” posted throughout this document. Please remember, though, that this booklet describes only the medical/surgical benefits available to you. HSAs are not administered by PHP and are regulated by the United States Department of the Treasury (United States Treasury). For more information, please see the United States Treasury’s website at: xxxxx://xxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/. PHP accepts premium and cost-sharing payments from the following third-party entities from plan enrollees (in the case of a downstream entity, to the extent the entity routinely collects premiums or cost-sharing): a Xxxx Xxxxx HIV/AIDS Program under title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, an Indian tribe, tribal organization, or urban Indian organization, and a local, State, of Federal government program, including a grantee directed by a government program to make payments on its behalf. We require that: • You must physically live or work (commuting daily) in the State of New Mexico (our Service Area) unless you are a Dependent and meet all of the terms and conditions for such Coverage as outlined in the Eligibility, Enrollment and Effective Dates, Termination and Continuation of Coverage Section. • All of your Health Care Services are provided by provided by In-Network Contract Practitioner/Providers in our Service Area, except for Urgent and Emergency Health Care Services situations. Please refer to the Benefits Section Accidental Injury / Urgent Care / Emergency Health Care Services / Observation / Trauma Services. • You select a Primary Care Physician (PCP) from the Provider Directory to coordinate all of your care. • You pay your pre-determined Cost Sharing (Deductible, Coinsurance and/or Copayments) at the time you receive Covered Services. We will reimburse the Practitioner/Provider the balance for Covered Services based upon Total Allowable Charges (some services may not require a Cost Sharing Deductible, Coinsurance and/or Copayment). Refer to your Summary of Benefits and Coverage to find Covered Services subject to Cost Sharing amounts. • Under the Market Stabilization rule finalized on April 13, 2017, to the extent permitted by State law, Presbyterian Health Plan may attribute to any past-due premium amounts owed to it the initial premium payment made in accordance with the terms of the health insurance policy to effectuate coverage, for coverage in the 12-month period preceding the effective date. This is done in an effort to prohibit abuse of the grace period. Be aware that failure to pay premiums in a preceding 12-month period may result in the group or individual’s inability to effectuate new coverage until past-due premium payments and initial premium payments are satisfied. To receive care under our plan, you must select an In-network Primary Care Physician to manage your health care needs. Your Primary Care Physician will be able to meet most of these needs. A list of Practitioners/Providers who serve as In-network Primary Care Physicians may be found in the Provider Directory. Primary Care Physicians include, but are not limited to, General Practitioners, Family Practice Physicians, Internists, Pediatricians, and Obstetricians/Gynecologists (if applicable). As a Member of the health plan, you may choose as your Primary Care Physician any doctor or Nurse Practitioner on that list. If you do not designate a Primary Care Physician on your enrollment form, we will suggest one for you. Provider Directory You will find our Primary Care Physicians close to where you live and work across the State. The Provider Directory is available on our website at xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/Pages/find-a-doctor.aspx. If you need additional information about a provider, you may call our Presbyterian Customer Service Center, Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. at (000) 000-0000 or 1-800- 356-2219.

However, if you require a printed copy of the directory, you may request it by calling the Presbyterian Customer Service Center at the number above. Obtaining Health Care How to Obtain Primary Care Services To receive care under this plan, you and all Covered Members of your family must select an In- network Primary Care Physician (PCP) to manage your health care needs.

How the Plan Works This Section explains how to find Practitioners/Providers who are in our network (In- network), get Health Care Services both In-network and Out-of-network, requirements you must follow when getting care and how to receive Covered Benefits under this Agreement. This plan is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Health Care Plan. Each time you need Health Care Services, you can choose your Practitioners and Providers and the level of Covered Benefits that will apply to their charges. You will receive the highest level of Covered Benefits and the lowest cost to you when you obtain services from our In-network Practitioners/Providers. You still have the flexibility provided by the Out-of-network benefits to see any Practitioner/Provider you choose for many of your Health Care Services. This plan is a fully qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) which means that you must meet an individual or family Deductible before any benefits (including pharmacy benefits) are paid out by PIC. Once the Deductible is met, you will be required to pay a Coinsurance (in most cases) or portion of the cost of the Covered services that are provided. This is explained in greater detail in the General Information Section. Preventive benefits, as defined by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are not subject to the Deductible. This means you can access this benefit and the plan will pay even if you have not met the individual or family Deductible. Please see the “Clinical Preventive Services” benefit on your Summary of Benefits and Coverage for further information. Prescription Drugs are not part of the Clinical Preventive Services benefit and thus, are subject to the Deductible and Coinsurance listed in the Summary of Benefits and Coverage. This Plan is qualified for use in conjunction with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Please see the “HSA Note(s)” posted throughout this document. Please remember, though, that this booklet describes only the medical/surgical benefits available to you. HSAs are not administered by PIC and are regulated by the United States Department of the Treasury (United States Treasury). For more information, please see the United States Treasury’s website at: xxxxx://xxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/. Under the Market Stabilization rule finalized on April 13, 2017, to the extent permitted by State law, Presbyterian Insurance Company Inc. may attribute to any past-due premium amounts owed to it the initial premium payment made in accordance with the terms of the health insurance policy to effectuate coverage, for coverage in the 12-month period preceding the effective date. This is done in an effort to prohibit abuse of the grace period. Be aware that failure to pay premiums in a preceding 12-month period may result in the group or individual’s inability to effectuate new coverage until past-due premium payments and initial premium payments are satisfied.

This plan is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Health Care Plan. Each time you need Health Care Services, you can choose your Practitioners and Providers and the level of Covered Benefits that will apply to their charges. You will receive the highest level of Covered Benefits and the lowest cost to you when you obtain services from our In-network Practitioners/Providers. You still have the flexibility provided by the Out-of-network benefits to see any Practitioner/Provider you choose for many of your Health Care Services. Under the Market Stabilization rule finalized on April 13, 2017, to the extent permitted by State law, Presbyterian Insurance Company Inc. may attribute to any past-due premium amounts owed to it the initial premium payment made in accordance with the terms of the health insurance policy to effectuate coverage, for coverage in the 12-month period preceding the effective date. This is done in an effort to prohibit abuse of the grace period. Be aware that failure to pay premiums in a preceding 12-month period may result in the group or individual’s inability to effectuate new coverage until past-due premium payments and initial premium payments are satisfied.

How the Plan Works This Section explains how your Health Benefit Plan works, how to access your Primary Care Practitioner to get Health Care Services, requirements you must follow when getting care and how to receive Covered Benefits under this Agreement. This plan is an “HMO” (Health Maintenance Organization). People who receive Health Care Benefits through an HMO are sometimes called “Enrollees” or “Subscribers. We strive to work closely with Subscribers, their Covered Dependents, and their health care Practitioners/Providers to prevent illness and provide quality, cost-effective health care. Because of this close working relationship, we consider our Enrollees and Subscribers to be Members of our health plan. This plan is a fully qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) which means that you must meet an individual or family Deductible before any benefits (including pharmacy benefits) are paid out by PHP. Once the Deductible is met, you will be required to pay a Coinsurance (in most cases) or portion of the cost of the Covered services that are provided. This is explained in greater detail in the General Information Section. Preventive benefits, as defined by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are not subject to the Deductible. This means you can access this benefit and the plan will pay even if you have not met the individual or family Deductible. Please see the “Clinical Preventive Services” benefit on your Summary of Benefits and Coverage for further information. Prescription Drugs are not part of the Clinical Preventive Services benefit and thus, are subject to the Deductible and Coinsurance listed in the Summary of Benefits and Coverage. This Plan is qualified for use in conjunction with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Please see the “HSA Note(s)” posted throughout this document. Please remember, though, that this booklet describes only the medical/surgical benefits available to you. HSAs are not administered by PHP and are regulated by the United States Department of the Treasury (United States Treasury). For more information, please see the United States Treasury’s website at: xxxxx://xxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/. We require that: • You must physically live or work (commuting daily) in the State of New Mexico (our Service Area) unless you are a Dependent and meet all of the terms and conditions for such Coverage as outlined in the Eligibility, Enrollment and Effective Dates, Termination and Continuation of Coverage Section. • All of your Health Care Services are provided by provided by In-Network Contract Practitioner/Providers in our Service Area, except for Urgent and Emergency Health Care Services situations. Please refer to the Benefits Section Accidental Injury / Urgent Care / Emergency Health Care Services / Observation / Trauma Services. • You select a Primary Care Physician (PCP) from the Provider Directory to coordinate all of your care. • You pay your pre-determined Cost Sharing (Deductible, Coinsurance and/or Copayments) at the time you receive Covered Services. We will reimburse the Practitioner/Provider the balance for Covered Services based upon Total Allowable Charges (some services may not require a Cost Sharing Deductible, Coinsurance and/or Copayment). Refer to your Summary of Benefits and Coverage to find Covered Services subject to Cost Sharing amounts. • Under the Market Stabilization rule finalized on April 13, 2017, to the extent permitted by State law, Presbyterian Health Plan may attribute to any past-due premium amounts owed to it the initial premium payment made in accordance with the terms of the health insurance policy to effectuate coverage, for coverage in the 12-month period preceding the effective date. This is done in an effort to prohibit abuse of the grace period. Be aware that failure to pay premiums in a preceding 12-month period may result in the group or individual’s inability to effectuate new coverage until past-due premium payments and initial premium payments are satisfied. To receive care under our plan, you must select an In-network Primary Care Physician to manage your health care needs. Your Primary Care Physician will be able to meet most of these needs. A list of Practitioners/Providers who serve as In-network Primary Care Physicians may be found in the Provider Directory. Primary Care Physicians include, but are not limited to, General Practitioners, Family Practice Physicians, Internists, Pediatricians, and Obstetricians/Gynecologists (if applicable). As a Member of the health plan, you may choose as your Primary Care Physician any doctor or Nurse Practitioner on that list. If you do not designate a Primary Care Physician on your enrollment form, we will suggest one for you. Provider Directory You will find our Primary Care Physicians close to where you live and work across the State.

Hearing impaired users may call TTY 711. You may also visit our website at xxx.xxx.xxx.. How the Plan Works This Section explains how to find Practitioners/Providers who are in our network (In- network), get Health Care Services both In-network and Out-of-network, requirements you must follow when getting care and how to receive Covered Benefits under this Agreement. This plan is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Health Care Plan. Each time you need Health Care Services, you can choose your Practitioners and Providers and the level of Covered Benefits that will apply to their charges. You will receive the highest level of Covered Benefits and the lowest cost to you when you obtain services from our In-network Practitioners/Providers. You still have the flexibility provided by the Out-of-network benefits to see any Practitioner/Provider you choose for many of your Health Care Services. This plan is a fully qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) which means that you must meet an individual or family Deductible before any benefits (including pharmacy benefits) are paid out by PIC. Once the Deductible is met, you will be required to pay a Coinsurance (in most cases) or portion of the cost of the Covered services that are provided. This is explained in greater detail in the General Information Section. Preventive benefits, as defined by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are not subject to the Deductible. This means you can access this benefit and the plan will pay even if you have not met the individual or family Deductible. Please see the “Clinical Preventive Services” benefit on your Summary of Benefits and Coverage for further information. Prescription Drugs are not part of the Clinical Preventive Services benefit and thus, are subject to the Deductible and Coinsurance listed in the Summary of Benefits and Coverage. This Plan is qualified for use in conjunction with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Please see the “HSA Note(s)” posted throughout this document. Please remember, though, that this booklet describes only the medical/surgical benefits available to you. HSAs are not administered by PIC and are regulated by the United States Department of the Treasury (United States Treasury). For more information, please see the United States Treasury’s website at: xxxxx://xxxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/. Under the Market Stabilization rule finalized on April 13, 2017, to the extent permitted by State law, Presbyterian Insurance Company Inc. may attribute to any past-due premium amounts owed to it the initial premium payment made in accordance with the terms of the health insurance policy to effectuate coverage, for coverage in the 12-month period preceding the effective date. This is done in an effort to prohibit abuse of the grace period. Be aware that failure to pay premiums in a preceding 12-month period may result in the group or individual’s inability to effectuate new coverage until past-due premium payments and initial premium payments are satisfied. PIC accepts premium and cost-sharing payments from the following third-party entities from plan enrollees (in the case of a downstream entity, to the extent the entity routinely collects premiums or cost-sharing): a Xxxx Xxxxx HIV/AIDS Program under title XXVI of the Public Health Service Act, an Indian tribe, tribal organization, or urban Indian organization, and a local, State, of Federal government program, including a grantee directed by a government program to make payments on its behalf.

Because of this close working relationship, we consider our Enrollees and Subscribers to be Members of our health plan. This plan is a fully qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) which means that you must meet an individual or family Deductible before any benefits (including pharmacy benefits) are paid out by PHP. Once the Deductible is met, you will be required to pay a Coinsurance (in most cases) or portion of the cost of the Covered services that are provided. This is explained in greater detail in the General Information Section. Preventive benefits, as defined by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are not subject to the Deductible. This means you can access this benefit and the plan will pay even if you have not met the individual or family Deductible. Please see the “Clinical Preventive Services” benefit on your Summary of Benefits and Coverage for further information. Prescription Drugs are not part of the Clinical Preventive Services benefit and thus, are subject to the Deductible and Coinsurance listed in the Summary of Benefits and Coverage. This Plan is qualified for use in conjunction with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Please see the “HSA Note(s)” posted throughout this document. Please remember, though, that this booklet describes only the medical/surgical benefits available to you.

We strive to work closely with Subscribers, their Covered Dependents, and their healthcare Practitioners/Providers to prevent illness and provide quality, cost-effective healthcare. Because of this close working relationship, we consider our Enrollees and Subscribers to be Members of our health plan. We require that: • You must physically live or work (commuting daily) in the State of New Mexico (our Service Area) unless you are a Dependent and meet all of the terms and conditions for such Coverage as outlined in the Eligibility, Enrollment and Effective Dates, Termination and Continuation of Coverage Section. • You and/or your Dependents cannot be eligible for Medicare due to age, illness or disability. • All of your Healthcare Services are provided by provided by In-Network Contract Practitioner/Providers in our Service Area, except for Urgent and Emergency Healthcare Services situations.

We will reimburse the Practitioner/Provider the balance for Covered Services based upon Total Allowable Charges (some services may not require a Cost Sharing Deductible, Coinsurance and/or Copayment). Refer to your Summary of Benefits and Coverage to find Covered Services subject to Cost Sharing amounts. • Under the Market Stabilization rule finalized on April 13, 2017, to the extent permitted by State law, Presbyterian Health Plan may attribute to any past-due premium amounts owed to it the initial premium payment made in accordance with the terms of the health insurance policy to effectuate coverage, for coverage in the 12-month period preceding the effective date. This is done in an effort to prohibit abuse of the grace period. Be aware that failure to pay premiums in a preceding 12-month period may result in the individual’s inability to effectuate new coverage until past-due premium payments and initial premium payments are satisfied. To receive care under our plan, you must select an In-network PCP to manage your healthcare needs. Your PCP will be able to meet most of these needs. A list of Practitioners/Providers who serve as In-network PCP may be found in the Provider Directory. PCPs include, but are not limited to, General Practitioners, Family Practice Physicians, Internists, Pediatricians, and Obstetricians/Gynecologists (if applicable). As a Member of the health plan, you may choose as your PCP any doctor or Nurse Practitioner on that list. If you do not designate a PCP on your enrollment form, we will suggest one for you.

We strive to work closely with Subscribers, their Covered Dependents, and their healthcare Practitioners/Providers to prevent illness and provide quality, cost-effective healthcare. Because of this close working relationship, we consider our Enrollees and Subscribers to be Members of our health plan. This plan is a fully qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) which means that you must meet an individual or family Deductible before any benefits (including pharmacy benefits) are paid out by PHP. Once the Deductible is met, you will be required to pay a Coinsurance (in most cases) or portion of the cost of the Covered services that are provided. This is explained in greater detail in the General Information Section. Preventive benefits, as defined by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are not subject to the Deductible. This means you can access this benefit and the plan will pay even if you have not met the individual or family Deductible. Please see the “Clinical Preventive Services” benefit on your Summary of Benefits and Coverage for further information. Prescription Drugs are not part of the Clinical Preventive Services benefit and thus, are subject to the Deductible and Coinsurance listed in the Summary of Benefits and Coverage. This Plan is qualified for use in conjunction with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Please see the “HSA Note(s)” posted throughout this document. Please remember, though, that this booklet describes only the medical/surgical benefits available to you.
