Welcome to CNS
One Team | Better Together
CNS recognizes that its success depends on hard-working employees like you. Your daily contributions
make the difference. We understand the significant role that benefits play in your life and the lives of
your family. Thats why we provide the comprehensive benefits package described in this guide.
Newly benefits-eligible employees can choose the coverage that is right for them and their family.
Depending on the particular benefit plan and/or level of coverage you elect, the company may pay the
full cost of the benefit, or may share the cost with you, or you may pay the total cost.

Who Is Eligible
Employees and their eligible dependents are eligible to enroll in the CNS benefit plans described in this
handout. Coverage will be effective on the first day of employment. Employees can enroll their eligible
dependents in any plan that offers dependent coverage, provided they are enrolled as well. Eligible
dependents include:

Legal spouse

Eligible dependent child(ren), including:


Employee or employee spouses biological children
Employee's Stepchildren
Legally adopted children (or children proposed for adoption)
Foster children
For medical and vision, you may enroll a dependent child up to the end of the month of his or her
26th birthday. You may enroll a dependent child older than age 26 in a CNS medical plan if the child
is incapable of self-sustaining employment by reason of a mental or physical handicap and is
chiefly dependent on you for support and maintenance. For dental, you may enroll a dependent
child up to the end of the month of his or her 25th birthday.

Benefits Overview
The information on the following pages provides an overview of CNS benefits.

Medical Coverage

Both options offer:

We know that no two employees have the same health care and
financial needs. Thats why you can choose between the Cigna
Choice Fund OAP Health Savings Account (Choice Fund HSA),
Cigna OAP Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) Core, or the Cigna
OAP PPO Select.
As you choose between these two plans, estimate your health care
costs for 2016 plus your payroll deductions. The comparison chart
on the next page provides a high-level overview of the plans. If you
are considering the Choice Fund HSA plan, remember to take the
CNS HSA contributions into consideration.
The Choice Fund HSA is similar to the PPO plan in that you can
use providers in or out of the network. And like the PPO, you will
pay more for out-of-network care. While this plan has a higher
deductible compared to the PPO plans, you can use tax-free money
from your HSA to pay your eligible expenses. CNS will contribute to
your HSA each year.

Medical coverage for services

The Cigna OAP PPO Core allows you to use providers in or out of the network. However, you will pay
more for out-of-network care. You pay either copays or a deductible and coinsurance, depending on
the type of service you use.
The Cigna OAP PPO Select allows you to use providers in or out of network. However, you will pay
more for out-of-network care. You only pay copays depending on the type of service you use.

*The Cigna OAP options offer out-of-network benefits, however you will pay more when you go out of the network for care, including a deductible, and higher
coinsurance, in some cases. Additionally, your coinsurance for out-of-network services is based on the reasonable and customary charges as defined in the plan,
and if your out-of-network provider charges more than what the plan considers reasonable and customary, the provider can bill you for the difference.
**You can find a list of eligible preventive care services at www.mycigna.com after your effective date. In the meantime, you can access this information at
www.cigna.com under the Healthcare Reform section.
1) In-network copays will not apply toward the in- or out-of-network annual deductibles.
2) All out-of-network inpatient hospitalizations and outpatient surgeries must be pre-certified. Failure to do so will result in a 20% reduction
of covered expenses incurred for services.
3) Hospital stays not deemed medically necessary will be disapproved.
4) Certain procedures require prior health plan approval. Please check with your health plan provider for additional information.

Important Medical Plan Information


The Cigna Choice Fund HSA Deductible

If you cover only yourself in this plan, you need to meet the
individual deductible before the plan will start paying benefits,
except for eligible in-network preventive care services, which
are covered at 100% with no deductible.

If you cover yourself and any dependents, the family deductible will
apply. However, if any eligible family member meets the individual
deductible, the plan will begin paying coinsurance for covered
benefits for the individual that met the deductible. Once the family
deductible has been met, the plan will begin paying coinsurance for
all eligible family members covered expenses. In addition, innetwork preventive care benefits are always covered at 100% with
no deductible.

Enroll in the Choice Fund HSA Plan


and Get a Head Start from CNS
The CNS annual HSA contribution will be
automatically added to your account thats
extra money right off the bat that you can
use to pay your eligible expenses or save for
future health care expenses.

Do the Math!
When you enroll in the Choice Fund
HSA, you can use the money in your
HSA to pay your deductible. Heres how
it looks for an employee who enrolls in
employee-only coverage:

$1,250

Only the amount you pay for in-network covered expenses


counts toward your in-network out-of-pocket maximum. The
amount you pay for out-of-network covered expenses counts
toward both your in-network and out-of-network out-of-pocket
maximums.

For the Choice Fund HSA: If you cover only yourself in this
plan, the individual out-of-pocket maximum will apply. If you
cover yourself and dependents, any eligible family member
that meets the individual out-of-pocket maximum, the plan
will begin paying 100% of covered expenses. Once the family
out-of-pocket maximum has been met, the plan will begin
paying 100% for all eligible family members covered
expenses.

For the OAP PPO Core and Select Plans: After each eligible family member meets his or her
individual out-of-pocket maximum, the plan will pay 100% of each individuals covered expenses.
Once the family out-of-pocket maximum has been met, the plan will pay 100% of each eligible
family member's covered expenses.

Understanding the Cigna Choice HSA Plan


The Cigna Choice Fund HSA can give you more control over how
and when to spend your health care dollars by allowing you to
save tax-free money in your HSA. You then use your HSA funds
to pay eligible expenses both now and in the future.

How the Health Savings Account (HSA) Works


To help you meet a higher deductible, the plan comes with a
health savings account (HSA). An HSA is a tax-advantaged
account that allows you to save and then use tax-free dollars to
pay for health care expenses in the months and years ahead.

For 2016, CNS will make an annual contribution of $250 if


you enroll only yourself and $500 if you enroll dependents.

Any money you and CNS contribute to your HSA will not be
taxed. And as long as you use your HSA funds to pay eligible
expenses, you will not be taxed.

You can make contributions to your account up to $3,100 if


you enroll only yourself and up to $6,250 if you enroll any
dependents. The amount you choose to contribute will be
divided by the number of paychecks you receive throughout
the year and will be deducted from your pay before taxes,
meaning you dont pay any taxes on the amount you
contribute to your HSA.

If youre age 55 or older, you can contribute an extra


$1,000 (called a catch-up contribution). The intent is to
help you save money for health care expenses you may
incur after you retire.

In addition to these tax-free contributions, you will not be


taxed on the amounts you use to pay for eligible health care
expenses or the interest your account earns.
Your HSA balance is yours to use even if you no longer
participate in a high deductible plan or leave CNS in the
future. You never lose the balance of your HSA. It does not
expire and you can move your balance into any other HSA at
any time. You decide when and how to use it:

To pay eligible expenses throughout the year

To save for the cost of health care in retirement

Consider the Cigna Choice


Fund HSA
Dont let the higher deductible stop
you from considering the Choice
Fund HSA plan. Even with a higher
deductible, its advantages, like
lower payroll deductions and
access to a health savings
account, may make it a more costeffective option for many
employees.
Compared with an FSA, there is
no use-it-or-lose-it rule with an
HSA. The money in your account
rolls over from one year to the next,
allowing you to use it now or save it
for future eligible expenses.
The Cigna Choice Fund OAP
HSA may be for you if you:

Typically dont need a lot of


health care during the year

Dont usually meet your


deductible, or only modestly
surpass it

Are looking for an opportunity


to save for medical expenses
during retirement

Want to have lower payroll


deductions and free up some
money that you can save in
your HSA

To use the money in your account, youll receive a debit card


that you can use at the doctors office, pharmacy and any
other provider.

Vision Plan Coverage


If you want vision coverage, you can choose to enroll in the Vision Service Plan (VSP). Note that you do
not have to be enrolled in medical or dental coverage to enroll in vision coverage. The vision plan
provides comprehensive coverage through a network of providers. Services received outside the
network are still covered, but will cost you more money out of your pocket.

Dental Coverage
You can choose between two Delta Dental coverage options: the Basic Dental Preferred Provider
Organization (DPPO) and the Buy-Up DPPO. Note that you do not have to be enrolled in medical
coverage to enroll in dental coverage.
Both options use Delta Dentals network of providers and allow you to go in- or out-of-network for
dental care. You will pay less when you go to in-network providers, because your share of the cost will
be based on the lower in-network negotiated rates.

Both Options Offer

Dental coverage for services within or


outside of the network

Lower, pre-negotiated rates for


in-network services

Flexible Spending Accounts


Looking to save money on your out-of-pocket health care and dependent care costs? CNS offers two
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) Health Care and Dependent Care. The FSAs allow you to pay
eligible health care and dependent day care expenses with money that is not taxed, saving you 20% to
30% on your out-of-pocket expenses. You may choose to enroll in one or both of these accounts, or
waive coverage.
The Health Care FSA (HCFSA) is used for health-related expenses, like copays for visits to the doctor
and out-of-pocket expenses for prescriptions and other health care services. Health care expenses for
you and your eligible dependents can be reimbursed from your HCFSA.

You can contribute to the HCFSA if you are enrolled in the OAP PPO, a non-high deductible medical
plan outside of the CNS plan (e.g., you are enrolled in a plan through your spouses employer), or if
you are not enrolled in a medical plan.

You cannot contribute to an HCFSA if you enroll in the Choice Fund HSA plan or if you are
enrolled in another high deductible medical plan outside the CNS plan.

The Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA) is only used for child care or elder care expenses that allow you to
work. It is not used for dependents health care expenses. You dont need to be enrolled in a health
plan to participate in the DCFSA. To qualify for a DCFSA:

You and your spouse must work or attend school full-time.

Your child must be under age 13 or qualify as a federal income tax-eligible dependent who cant
care for him or herself.

FSA Highlights

You choose how much you want to set aside


each year:

HCFSA: $50 up to $2,500 per year.

DCFSA FSA: $50 up to $5,000 per year


(if youre married and file your taxes
separately, the limit is $2,500).

Your contributions are taken from your


paycheck before federal and state taxes are
deducted, making these amounts tax free.
Pay for your eligible expenses using:

The FSA debit card; or

Your regular funds, and submit a claim


for reimbursement.

Save your receipts, even if you use the


debit card

IRS rules say that you must forfeit any


money left in your accounts at the end of
the year, so estimate your expenses
carefully. Any account balances remaining
at the end of the year cannot be returned.

Although its a good idea to submit your


claims as you incur expenses during the
year, you have until March 31 (DCFSA) or
June 30 (HCFSA) of the next year to submit
eligible expenses for reimbursement from
the current plan year.

Work Life Services and Employee Assistance Program


Program is available to you, all members of your household, and your adult children up to age 26,
regardless of your medical coverage. Services are confidential and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.

Life, Accident and Disability Insurance Options


Most of us rely on our paycheck to cover bills and everyday expenses. What if the unexpected
happened? Could you and your family afford to go a few months or even a few weeks without a
paycheck? For many of us, the answer is no. Thats why life, accident and disability insurance are
important.
For 2016, you have access to a mix of CNS-provided life, accident and disability insurance options and
opportunities to purchase supplemental coverage, including Group Universal Life Insurance.

CNS-Provided Coverage
The following insurance is automatically provided by CNS at no cost to you.

Basic life insurance of 1 times your base annual earnings

Basic accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance of 1 times your base annual earnings

Business Travel Accident insurance to pay benefits if you are injured while traveling on business
Short term disability (STD) coverage equal to a salary replacement rate of 100% for the first six
weeks, 80% for the second six weeks, and 70% for the remainder of the 26-week STD period

Long term disability (LTD) coverage for 30% income replacement (up to $5,000 monthly maximum)
beyond 26 weeks of an approved disability, with the opportunity to enroll in Buy-Up LTD.

Supplemental Coverage Options


You may choose to supplement the CNS-provided coverage with additional coverage that you pay the
full cost for. Here is an overview of the available options.

Voluntary AD&D Insurance

Buy-Up Long Term Disability Insurance

You may elect from 1 times to


5 times your annual base salary
up to a maximum of $500,000 of
voluntary AD&D insurance.

If you became disabled, the basic LTD benefit equal to 30%


of your salary may not be enough to live on while you are
