REMINDERS… 1 Prescription drug formularies are subject to change with limited notice to members. 2 Some services require prior authorization. Members should make sure their provider requests an authorization in advance for certain services. If the member uses an out-of- network provider, it is the member’s responsibility to make sure their doctor requests the prior authorization. 3 There may be times when two prior authorizations may be needed for one condition. For example, testing to diagnose a condition may require one prior authorization, while the rental/purchase of durable medical equipment to treat the diagnosed condition will require another prior authorization. 4 Provider contracts are regularly negotiated and there is no way to guarantee or predict continued provider participation in any given network. Providers are subject to change without notice to members. Please make sure to check carrier websites for the most up-to-date information regarding provider availability for your network. 11

LIVE WELL AT WCIF Due to today’s challenges regarding the COVID crisis, the structure of the Live Well at WCIF program has been adjusted to better suit the needs of employees. Primary Program ($25 e-Gift Card): Eligible employees and their covered spouse will have a list of activities to choose from to earn their $25 e-Gift Card. See enrollment guide for more detailed information. • Health Quality Assessment (HQA) and • One Additional Activity within SonicBoom portal • Health Screening • WCIF-sponsored Contest • Academy Course • One enhancement to the Primary Program is that the Health Quality Assessment will be made available on SonicBoom’s mobile app sometime in September.

The deadline has been extended to November 15, 2020. This should give you plenty of time to earn your individual incentives as the health screening is no longer a requirement. 14

HEALTH REIMBURSEMENT ACCOUNT / VIMLY flexspending@vimly.com ǀ 1.206.859.2694 (customer service) 1.866.727.2106 (fax) Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) A health account (HRA) is an employer-funded health care reimbursement plan that receives favorable tax treatment under the federal Internal Revenue Code (Code). Many employers that sponsor HRAs establish unfunded notional “bookkeeping” accounts to reimburse eligible employees for substantiated medical expenses that are not covered by health insurance, such as deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments. HOW ARE DEPOSITS MADE TO MY HRA ACCOUNT? Only employers are allowed to make HRA contributions. Island County will provide each employee up to $4,000 towards the individual out-of-pocket costs or up to $6,000 towards the family out-of-pocket costs. Unlike health savings accounts (HSAs) and health flexible spending accounts (FSAs), employees cannot make contributions to their HRAs. HOW DO I RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FROM MY HRA? You can complete an online or paper claim form and submit it to Vimly Benefit Solutions by email, fax or regular mail. You can also submit claims manually via SIMON. In order to substantiate your claims you will need to provide documentation. WHEN ARE EXPENSES “INCURRED”? The IRS rules state that an expense is incurred at the time the service is rendered (not when an appointment is made), a bill is dated, or a bill is paid. 16
HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT / VIMLY flexspending@vimly.com ǀ 1.206.859.2694 (customer service) 1.866.727.2106 (fax) A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged medical savings account that is available to taxpayers who are enrolled in an IRS-qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). It can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses ENROLL NOW AND SAVE That’s right. You can pay less in taxes and essentially get a discount on a big chunk of your medical expenses simply by signing up for an HSA. • Be enrolled in a qualifying HDHP • Set aside a portion of your paycheck before taxes • Use the funds to pay for medical expenses not covered by insurance (IRS Section 213d expenses) • Your funds carry over and can be invested to help you plan for future medical expenses – investment growth is tax-free 2021 CONTRIBUTION LIMITS • $3,600 for self-only coverage (additional $1,000 catch-up contribution for anyone over 55 years old) – Island County will contribute $2,000 of the $3,600 maximum • $7,200 for family coverage (additional $1,000 catch-up contribution for anyone over 55 years old) – Island County will contribute $4,000 of the $7,200 maximum 17
HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT / VIMLY When you reach age 65, your HSA eligibility will change due to Medicare, as will the rules for withdrawing funds. Effects of Medicare At age 65, you become eligible for Medicare and may be automatically enrolled. Enrolling in Medicare ends your HSA eligibility in one of two ways: If Medicare is your only health insurance, you are no longer eligible to contribute to an HSA because Medicare is not an HDHP. If you have Medicare as secondary coverage in addition to an employer sponsored HDHP, you will also lose HSA eligibility because you have “other coverage.” When you turn 65 and begin Medicare coverage, you lose HSA eligibility on the first day of that month. 18
