Which Plan Best Fits Your Needs?

A Variety of Plans to Choose From

Whether you are seeking lower-cost health insurance, experienced a recent change in employment or family status, or are self-employed, we can offer you and your family a variety of coverage options at competitive prices in many states.

*Out-of-pocket exposure is deductible, coinsurance, and copays. Under all plans, additional expenses may be incurred that are not eligible for reimbursement by the insurance. Both the amount of benefits and the premium will vary based upon the plan you select.

The Network Advantage

Quality Care at Significant Savings

Access to the right doctors can be the most important part of your health care.

Our network gives you:

  • Access to an extensive network of doctors, X-ray and lab facilities, hospitals, and other ancillary providers.*

  • Quality care at reduced costs because these providers have agreed to lower fees for covered expenses.

Lower premiums — savings of up to 30% or more over the same plans without a network. Please note: Covered expenses for nonemergency care received from a provider outside your network are:

  • Subject to eligible expense limits;

  • Reduced by 25%;

  • Subject to an additional deductible amount equal to the calendar-year deductible.

For Services of Non-Network Providers: Your actual out-of-pocket expenses for covered expenses may exceed the stated coinsurance percentage because actual provider charges may not be used to determine insurer and member payment obligations.

Sample savings with our network:

(Services provided February-March 2010)**

*UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus network, available in most areas. LabCorp is the preferred laboratory services provider for UnitedHealthcare networks. Network availability may vary by state, and a specific health-care provider’s contract status can change at any time. Therefore, before you receive care, it is recommended that you verify with the health-care provider’s office that they are still contracted with your chosen network.

**All these services received from network providers in ZIP Code 336--. Your actual savings may be more or less than this illustration and will vary by several factors.

Convenient Doctor Office Copay Benefits

Designed for individuals and families, Copay SelectSM is more like traditional employer plans with a copayment for routine health-care expenses. When you use a network doctor for an office visit, we pay 100% of history and exam fees after a $35 copay. Office visits outside your network are covered subject to the applicable deductible and your chosen coinsurance.

Prescription Drug* Card Benefits

Tier 2-4 drugs have a combined $500 deductible per person, per calendar year.

Comprehensive Coverage for Inpatient and Outpatient Medical Expenses

Covered inpatient and outpatient expenses are reimbursed after your chosen coinsurance and the deductible.

Note: Copay SelectSM is not available in Alaska.

*We have a preferred drug list, which changes periodically. Tier status for a prescription drug may be determined by accessing your prescription drug benefits via our Web site 6 or by calling the telephone number on your identification card. The tier to which a prescription drug is assigned may change as detailed in your policy/certificate.

Deductible Choices You pay: $1,000, $1,500, $2,500, $3,500, $5,000, $7,500 or (maximum 2 per family, per calendar year) $10,000

Choice of Coverage

With our High Deductible Plans, you select the level of coverage that makes you most comfortable. The higher the deductible, the lower your premiums. And you’re keeping more of your money and taking responsibility for covering minor or routine health-care expenses, if they come up.

Lowest Premium Plan

Saver 80SM is our lowest premium plan. This plan provides coverage for hospital confinements, surgical procedures in or out of the hospital (but not in the doctor’s office), and the more costly outpatient expenses, such as CAT scans and MRIs.

Simple to Use

Golden Rule’s top-selling High Deductible Plan — Plan 100®. It pays 100% of covered expenses once you meet your calendar-year deductible. Your benefits are not complicated with multiple copays or coinsurance.

Deductible Choices You pay: $1,500, $2,500, $5,000, You pay: $1,500, $2,500, $5,000, You pay: $1,000, $1,500, $2,500, (maximum 2 per family, per calendar year) $7,500 or $10,000 $7,500 or $10,000 $5,000, $7,500 or $10,000

HSA Plans Offer Quality Coverage, Savings

HSA Plans simply combine a lower-cost, high deductible health insurance plan and a tax-favored savings account.

Lower Premiums, Tax-Advantaged Savings, and an Attractive Interest Rate*

High deductible plans typically cost a lot less than many copay or traditional plans. This means lower premiums for you. You can then take the premium savings and place it into your health savings account.

Bottom line — HSAs can help make health insurance more affordable.

How the Vision Program Works

Copayment, deductible amounts and coinsurance may differ when services are rendered and billed directly by a:

A. Vision benefit preferred provider; or

B. Vision benefit non-preferred provider.

We have a contract with a vision benefit network. Vision benefit preferred providers agree to discount their service fees. You or your covered dependents pay any applicable copayments, deductible amount or coinsurance. Vision benefit preferred providers then agree to accept our benefit payment as payment in full for covered expenses.

We do not have a contract with vision benefit non-preferred providers. You or your covered dependent must pay any applicable copayments, deductible amount or coinsurance. After satisfaction of applicable copayments, deductible amount or coinsurance benefits are limited up to the applicable allowance amount.

When the amount of actual charges exceeds the allowance amount, the vision benefit non-network providers may bill you or your covered dependent for the excess amount.

Exclusions and Limitations:

No benefits are payable for the following vision expenses:

  • Orthoptics or vision therapy training and any associated supplemental testing;

  • Plano lenses (a lens with no prescription on it);

  • Replacement of lenses and frames furnished under this plan which are lost or broken except at the normal intervals when services are otherwise available;

  • Medical or surgical treatment of the eyes;

  • Any eye examination or any corrective eyewear, required by an employer as a condition of employment;

  • Corrective vision treatment of an experimental or investigative nature;

  • Corrective surgical procedures such as, but not limited to, Radial Keratotomy (RK) and Photo-refractive Keratectomy (PRK);

  • Eyewear except prescription eyewear;

  • Charges that exceed the allowance amount; and

  • Services or treatments that are already excluded in the General Exclusions and Limitations section of the certificate or policy.

If a covered person -Serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. misstates their tobacco use when applying for coverage, we have the right to cancel coverage, subject to the Recissions clause under Uniform

Provisions. Coordination of Benefits (including Medicare)

If, after coverage is issued, a covered person becomes insured under a group plan or Medicare, benefits will be determined under the Coordination of Benefits (COB) clause. COB allows two or more plans to work together so that the total amount of all benefits will never be more than 100% of covered expenses. COB also takes into account medical coverage under auto insurance contracts.

Premium

We may adjust the premium rates from time to time. Premium rates are set by class, and you will not be singled out for a premium change regardless of your health. The policy plan, age and sex of covered persons, type and level of benefits, time the certificate has been in force, and your place of residence are factors that may be used in setting rate classes. Premiums will increase the longer you are insured.

Renewability

You may renew coverage by paying the premium as it comes due. We may decline renewal only:

Termination of a Covered Person

A covered person’s coverage will terminate on the date that person no longer meets the eligibility requirements or if the covered person commits fraud or intentional misrepresentation.
