Medical Plan Options
Who is eligible?
Full-time Associates regularly scheduled to work at least 37 1/2 hours per week are eligible to enroll themselves, their spouse* and/or
their dependent children under age 26, with coverage effective on their first day of employment. Eligible dependent children include
your natural blood-related children, stepchildren, legally adopted children, children placed for adoption in your home or children for
which you have legal guardianship.
*IMPORTANT NOTICE: Spouses who have access to their own employer-provided health plan as a Full-time Associate
working 30 or more hours per week are not eligible to be covered under Republic Bank’s health plan. However, any spouse that
does not have access to an employer provided health plan continues to be eligible. Legally recognized same sex marriages will
follow the same eligibility rules stated above. When completing the online enrollment, be sure to include information for any
eligible dependents you wish to cover. If requesting spousal coverage, you will be required to certify in writing that your
spouse is not eligible for their own coverage. The certification form is part of the on-line enrollment.
What are my medical plan options?
There are four Humana health plan options from which to choose – Two options (Standard and Enhanced PPO Plans) are traditional
Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) medical plans, which provide a higher level of coverage for care received from participating
doctors and other health care providers. All plans cover routine/wellness-related services at 100% with no copays or deductible.
The plans differ primarily by deductibles, co-payment amounts and coinsurance levels, as shown on the chart on pages 8-9.
Premiums are on page 13.

ASSOCIATE GUIDE TO 2023 BENEFITS
Full-time Associate
Both the High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and the Coverage First plans are designed to provide more control over health
expenses. Both plans cover routine/wellness-related services at 100% with no copays or deductible. However, the Coverage First plan
includes an additional $500 benefit allowance to cover in-network expenses (except for required co-payments) for the first claims
submitted each year for each covered member of your family. Think of this allowance as an account used to pay for health care services.
As you receive covered services, the plan will pay for those services from the account until $500 has been paid. As long as money is
available in the account, you will only pay your applicable co-payment. Once the $500 in the account has been used up, the normal
plan benefits apply and you will be responsible for the annual deductible and applicable coinsurance. You will continue to pay only a co-
payment for office visits.
The High Deductible Health Plan covers all routine exams and wellness related services at 100% - with no copay and no deductible
- for eligible in-network expenses each year. However, you may want to consider opening a Health Savings Account (HSA)
through Republic Bank to cover non-routine/wellness related out-of-pocket expenses that are applied to your deductible ($3,000
individual/$6,000 family). The HSA is used to pay for health care services with pre-tax dollars (similar to an FSA). As you receive
covered services, you use available funds in the HSA to pay for expenses that are applied to your deductible. Once your deductible
is met, the plan will pay for all future eligible in-network services at 100% after the applicable copay for office visits for primary care
physician and specialist, hospital emergency room or urgent care services, and prescription drugs.
Why you might want a High Deductible Health Plan
A High Deductible Health Plan offers several ways to save on healthcare:
• Lower premiums: The HDHP has lower premiums than the other health plan options.
• Integrated deductible: Prescription drug costs apply to the same deductible as medical costs. And for members who choose
family coverage, costs for all covered members apply to the same deductible. These differences make it easier for you to meet
the deductible.
• Out-of-pocket maximum: The yearly “cap” on your costs for covered services from in-network providers gives you peace of
mind. And budgeting is easy, since medical and drug costs that apply to your deductible count toward the maximum, too.
• Opportunity to save tax-free money: Having an HDHP allows you to contribute tax-free dollars via payroll deduction to a
Republic Bank HSA. You can spend the money on healthcare costs without paying taxes on it — or use it for other expenses
after you retire, when it may be taxed at a lower rate.
Using your High Deductible Health Plan
The HDHP has three key components: an integrated deductible, coinsurance and out-of-pocket maximum.
• Integrated deductible: Even though your pharmacy benefits kick in only after you’ve met the deductible, you always get
Humana’s discounted price when you fill prescriptions at in-network pharmacies. And since your health plan and pharmacy
benefits share the same deductible, your prescription costs help you meet the deductible faster. You can view the list of covered
drugs under the HDHP at Humana.com.
• Coinsurance: After you reach your annual deductible, the plan pays a percentage of your costs for both medical services and
prescription drugs after the applicable copays.
Example of how copays and coinsurance apply after meeting annual deductible:
You have single coverage in the HDHP and you have met your $3,000 deductible. You are visiting your primary care physician
regarding a health issue. You will be responsible for the $20 office visit copay. The Plan covers the remaining cost of the visit at
100%. You may use your health savings account to pay for the office visit.
You have the option to enroll in a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and a “companion” Health Savings Account
(HSA) offered through Republic Bank to help cover your out-of-pocket expenses. See Page 19 for more information regarding the
Health Savings Account.
For the most current information about participating network providers in the Humana plans, go online to www.humana.com and
look under the Humana Choice Care Network.

How does the RX4 Prescription Drug benefit work?
No matter which medical plan you choose, the prescription drug benefit will be administered by CenterWell. You will use the same
identification card that you use for all other medical care services.
The amount you pay for prescription drugs depends on which medical plan you are in and the Level in which the medication that you
and your doctor select is classified. You may check the classification of drugs by logging onto www.humana.com and selecting the
Rx-4 Drug List.
The plan provides four levels of coverage based on the prescription. In addition, if you purchase a brand name drug, you must first
satisfy a *$250 annual deductible before the copay will apply (the brand deductible does not apply to the High Deductible Health
Plan).
• Level One: This level includes designated *brand name and generic drugs that are the most cost effective while still providing
high quality medical efficacy. You’ll pay just $10 for up to a 30-day supply.
• Level Two: Preferred drugs are those generic or *brand names included in the RX-4 drug formulary. (A formulary is a list of
commonly prescribed drugs that have been selected by a panel of pharmacists and physicians based on their effectiveness and
cost.) You’ll pay just $40 for up to a 30-day supply.
• Level Three: Non-preferred drugs are *brand names or generics not listed on the plan’s formulary. For these drugs, you’ll pay
$60 for up to a 30-day supply. If you take a prescription medication in this category, keep in mind that alternative preferred
brand name or generic drugs are usually available and allow you to save money.
• Level Four: This level covers high cost, high tech specialty medications and injectables. You’ll pay a 25% coinsurance per
prescription.
The mail order prescription benefit lets you order up to a 90-day supply of maintenance drugs for the same price as a 60-day supply
equal to 2 copays. To use this benefit, have your physician write a prescription for a 90-day supply.
PLEASE NOTE: Some drugs, such as weight management and cosmetic drugs are not covered by the plan. Because Humana’s
drug list is continually updated with prescription drugs approved or not approved for coverage, you must call the toll-free
customer service phone number on the back of your ID card or visit Humana’s website at www.humana.com to verify whether
a prescription drug is covered or not covered under the Plan.

Dental Plan
Who is eligible?
If you are a Full-time Associate scheduled to work a minimum of 37 1/2 hours per week, you may enroll yourself, your spouse and/or
your dependent children under age 26 with coverage effective on your first day of employment. (Eligible dependent children include
your natural blood-related children, stepchildren, legally adopted children, children placed for adoption in your home or children for
which you have legal guardianship.)
What are my choices?
Republic Bank offers Associates the Delta Premier PPO Plus plan through Delta Dental of Kentucky. The dental plan is a unique
blend of Delta Dental’s Premier and Preferred provider networks. If you use a dentist from the Preferred provider network, your
out-of-pocket costs are lower because these network providers offer a greater discount for their services.
Benefits are based on the allowable amount for each specific service. Participating dentists have agreed not to bill plan members
more than the allowable amount. Please refer to the summary of the dental plan benefits provided on page 11.
How do I find a participating dentist?
For the most current information about dentists who participate in the plan, go online to www.deltadentalky.com and Select the
Delta Dental PPO+ Premier Network in the drop down box. The participating dentists may be different for the Premier and the
Preferred networks. If your dentist participates in both networks, they have agreed to accept the allowable amount based on the
Preferred provider network.

Flexible Spending Accounts
Health Care, Limited Purpose and Dependent
Flexible Spending Accounts provide you with an important tax advantage that can help you pay health care and dependent care
expenses on a pre-tax basis. By anticipating your family’s health care and dependent care costs for the next year, you can lower your
taxable income. Full-time Associates are eligible to participate effective on their first day of employment.
Who is eligible?
If you are a Full-time Associate regularly scheduled to work at least 37 1/2 hours per week. You may submit eligible healthcare
related` expenses for yourself, your spouse, and any dependents you claim on your tax return under the age of 27 at the end of your
tax year, as defined by IRS Code Section 105(b) and Code Section 152.
Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) – including a Limited Purpose Account (LPFSA)
The Flexible Spending Account program lets Republic Bank Associates pay up to $2,850 for the 2023 calendar year for certain
IRS-approved medical, dental and vision care expenses not covered by their insurance plan with pre-tax dollars. Most people don’t
realize just how much they spend each year on expenses like co-pays, insurance deductibles and other items for their medical, dental,
vision and preventive care, but these types of expenses really do add up – and that’s money straight out of your pocket. Enrolling
in the Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) can save you up to 40% on the medical, dental, vision and preventive care
expenses you already pay. Can you really afford to pass up an opportunity to save hundreds of dollars every year?
Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account (LPFSA)
Limited Purpose FSA plans are designed to work hand-in-hand with a Health Savings Account (HSA) in conjunction with a High
Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). The 2023 contribution limit for the LPFSA is $2,850. One important thing to keep in mind is
that if the expense is eligible for reimbursement from a Health Savings Account (HSA), it is not eligible under the LPFSA. (If you
are not participating in a Health Savings Account (HSA), you may still participate in the standard Health Care FSA.) Please contact
the Benefits Department (ext. 2100), if you need assistance in determining if you should enroll in the LPFSA or the standard
Health Care FSA.
Eligible Expenses under the FSA include: Eligible Expenses for BOTH the FSA and LPFSA include:
• Hearing Services, including hearing aids and batteries • Vision services, including contact lenses, contact lens
• Ambulance solution, eye examinations, and eyeglasses
• Prosthesis • Laser vision corrective eye surgery
• Obesity Weight-Loss Programs • Dental services and orthodontia
• Chriopractic services • Dentures
• Acupuncture
• Invitro fertilization and Infertility treatments
• Prescription drugs for medically necessary reasons,
including contraceptives
• Over the counter supplies including (but not limited to):
• Diabetes Monitors & Supplies, including insulin
• Bandages
• Blood Pressure Monitor
• Colorectal Cancer Screening Tests
• Knee & Wrist Supports Eligible FSA Expenses – click here
• Crutches & Mobility Aids
If you’re uncertain about how a Health Care FSA can help you, check out the additional information links below and be sure to
review the list of Eligible Expenses. If you use any of these services or purchase any of these items, you could be missing out on big
savings every year!

Pay For Eligible Expenses With Your Spending Account Debit Card
Paper claims can be submitted to Sheakley, or you can use your Sheakley Health Care
Account Debit Card (Card). You will not receive a new card each year because the original
card will work for three plan years.
You can typically spend up to $50 using your Debit Card to pay for prescription drug
co-pays or physician co-pays, etc., and you should not need to send substantiation for your
eligible purchases.
For all other eligible expenses where you use the Card, however, you may need to substantiate your purchases (this means faxing
or uploading your itemized receipts for Card purchases along with a claim form to prove the eligibility of the items or services
purchased). If you’ve not submitted required substantiation within 30 days from date of purchase, your account will be suspended,
and your Card deactivated until substantiation is submitted to Sheakley.
For all eligible FSA purchases, even those where you use the Card, the IRS requires you to retain receipts a proof of your qualified
purchase, and you may be required to provide these receipts to Sheakley at any time during the year.
Budgeting for your Flexible Spending Account Election
To avoid having any leftover unused contributions at plan year end, you simply need to plan your contributions and monitor your
account balance regularly. The planning part occurs during the annual enrollment period for the upcoming new plan year. You
are asked to re-elect your annual contribution to your FSA each year. Before you make your election, you should make a list of
anticipated eligible expenses for yourself and any covered dependents. It is also a good idea to identify in advance a few eligible
expenses and hold them “in reserve” in case you find you have an account balance remaining as the end of the benefit plan year
approaches. For example, in order to use up any remaining account balance, you could purchase a pair of prescription sunglasses,
have your teeth cleaned or replace an expiring prescription.
It is always a good practice to be conservative when estimating how much you wish to contribute. To assist you in determining your
annual expenses, please utilize the following Health Care Reimbursement Account Worksheet on the following page.

children under the age 13 or an incapacitated parent or spouse. The provider may be a licensed day care provider or an individual who

Health Savings Account (HSA)
You must be enrolled in a qualified High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to be eligible to enroll in a Health Savings Account.
The Republic Bank HSA is a tax-favored account that allows you to set aside funds to save and pay for qualified medical expenses
incurred by you, your spouse, and any of your qualified dependents. The HSA takes the form of a tax-exempt trust or custodial account.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Per the IRS - if you can’t claim a child as a dependent on your tax returns, then you can’t spend
HSA dollars on services provided to that child.
Paying for healthcare expenses using your health savings account:
When you have not yet met your deductible, you can pay the entire amount when you get medical care or pick up a prescription.
Give your Health Savings Account - Republic Bank MasterCard® CheckCard to your healthcare provider, and if you have enough
money in your HSA to cover the service or prescription, the amount will be paid from your HSA and applied to your deductible. If
your HSA balance doesn’t cover the cost, you’ll have to pay out of pocket, but the amount will still be applied to your deductible.
Note: Once you have deposited enough money in your HSA account, you can reimburse yourself for the out-of-pocket cost of the
service or prescription.
HSAs are different from other types of account-based plans you might already be familiar with. The most important difference is
that HSAs are individually-owned accounts. That means that each account holder will have their own account/account number and
will receive personalized monthly statements. It also means that as the account holder, you must be the one to contact Republic
Bank with any questions or concerns pertaining to your personal account. You may open a Republic Bank HSA account at any
banking center and have your contributions deducted on pre-tax basis and direct deposited into your account.
Features of the Republic Bank Health Savings Account
The Republic Bank HSA is a personal checking account, and provides you with many of the same features offered in our traditional
checking accounts, including:
• No minimum balance or opening deposit required
• No set-up fee
19ASSOCIATE GUIDE TO 2023 BENEFITS
Full-time Associate
• No transaction fees
• Free Republic Bank MasterCard® CheckCard
• Free checks
• Free Internet Banking, Mobile Banking, Online Statements and Online Bill Pay
• Competitive tiered-rate interest
• No monthly account maintenance fees
No matter how you access the funds in your HSA, be sure to retain copies of all receipts as proof that funds were used to
pay for qualified medical expenses.
Determining eligibility for an HSA
To be eligible, you must meet the following criteria:
• You must be covered by a qualified High Deductible Health Plan
• You can’t be claimed as someone’s dependent
• You aren’t covered by other disqualifying insurance (such as a PPO Plan or Flexible Spending Plan*)
• You aren’t enrolled in Medicare
* You must exhaust all funds available in your Flexible Medical Spending Account before opening an HSA account.
If I enroll in a High Deductible Health Plan but waive the HSA, can I establish an HSA later?
Yes, an HSA can be established any time after enrolling in a qualified High Deductible Health Plan. You can contribute the maximum
amount for the year – in 2023, that’s $3,850 if you have single coverage or $7,750 for family coverage. Individuals age 55 and older
can also make an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution each year.
Account holders who are HSA-eligible for only part of the year can still make the full, tax-deductible contribution for that year.
However, they must remain HSA-eligible for at least twelve months after benefiting from this special rule in order to avoid potential
taxes and penalties.
What is the latest date I can make a contribution to my HSA?
You have until April 15 of the following year to make contributions for the current tax year. The contribution must be credited to the
account by April 15. All deposits are credited as current year contributions unless otherwise noted.
How do I make contributions to my HSA?
• Make contributions via payroll deduction (recommended method) – you may elect to have pre-tax contributions to your account
via payroll deduction.
• Make automatic monthly contributions – Arrange to have funds transferred automatically from your personal checking account
to your HSA on a specific day each month. You can set up automatic deposits when you use online enrollment to open your HSA,
or you can set them up at any time by completing an ACH authorization form (visit www.republicbank.com to obtain a copy of
this form).
• Send contributions by mail – Mail your contributions to Republic Bank using a Mail-in Contribution Form (available online at
www.republicbank.com).
How to open an HSA at Republic Bank
Simply visit a Banking Center and an Associate will be happy to assist you. Request to open an Associate HSA. Show your Republic
Bank ID to be eligible for this free account. In addition, you may call the IRA/HSA Department at (502) 561-7143 (Internal dial
