Mental Health Parity. The new MHPAEA rules state that health plans cannot have separate deductibles and separate out-of-pocket maximums for both medical and mental health/chemical dependency benefits. The Company proposes a combined deductible and out-of-pocket maximum for both medical coverage and mental health coverage as follows: Anthem Blue Cross Network Access Plan (NAP) Provision NAP In-Network CAP Benefits NAP Out-of-Network (Does not apply to CAP) Combined Medical, Mental Health and Chemical Dependency Deductible $120 per person $320 family maximum $240 per person $680 family maximum Combined Medical, Mental Health and Chemical Dependency Out-of-Pocket Maximum $750 per person $1,500 family maximum $1,000 per person $2,000 per person SmartValue Medicare Advantage Private Fee-for-Service (PFFS) Plan Effective in 2011, the Company proposes to eliminate the SmartValue Medicare Advantage PFFS Plan due to changes made to PFFS plans by the 2008 Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA). Retirees who do not elect a new health care plan during the 2010 Open Enrollment period will default to the Anthem Blue Cross Comprehensive Access Plan effective January 1, 2011. Xx.

The regulations do not currently state that this dependent group health coverage must be extended to retirees’ adult children up to age 26; however, the Company proposes to also extend medical coverage to retirees’ adult children up to age 26.
