Benefit Insights
In this past year – and even still today as we continue to see the impact of COVID - a major emphasis has been placed on physical health. Because you are part of our team – and an important person to San Antonio Regional Hospital - we’ve focused heavily on making sure you have the resources to focus on your mental and financial health as well. In a nutshell, we need an overall WELL U – a you that is able to balance your physical, mental and financial well-being at work and at home. If just the thought of financial wellness stresses you out and makes you want to pull the covers over your head, it’s ok. SARH – along with our partner the Lincoln Financial Group (LFG) - is here to support you as you work to be more confident and “less stressed” about your financial future.
August Edition: Saving for Retirement
Here are some easy options to start moving in the right direction:
• Meet with a Lincoln Financial Advisor on Retirement Readiness Day (August 10, 2021) SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT TODAY! Receive a complimentary, personalized calculation of how much you will need to enjoy the retirement you have planned AND get the chance to speak to an advisor about your personal 401(k) plan and the best ways to invest. Use the links below to schedule your appointment time with Sean, our dedicated Financial Advisor: Virtual/Phone: https://calendly.com/seanhooper-lfg/san-antonio-regional-hospital-account-reviews Onsite, In Person, Tuesday Meetings: https://calendly.com/seanhooper-lfg/sarh_accountreviews_inperson • Take advantage of the opportunity to receive Hospital contributions to your 401(k). If you are contributing to the 401(k), the Hospital will too. The Hospital will match up to 50% of contributions you make each paycheck (up to 5%). Check your contributions and make sure you are contributing at least 5% of each paycheck.
Two easy steps = a little less financial stress about your future.
For more information about retirement programs and education SARH provides, click here.
Let’s use this example: If you make $2,000 per paycheck, a 5% contribution would be $100 per paycheck. Then, SARH contributes $50, which is half of what you contribute. A total of $150 is directly deposited into your 401(k) account.
How much is 5%?

SUPPORT IN LIFE's MOMENTS
Expanding Your Family
Whether you are getting married or having or adopting a baby, your SARH benefits can pave the way for a smooth transition from considering only your needs to considering how your benefits support a growing family.
You're getting married ... congratulations!
You're going to be a great parent! Here's how SARH benefits can help.
This is considered a qualified life event, which means you have the option to change some of your benefits. It's also important to think about legal assistance and beneficiaries.

Taking the Time You Need
We know the importance of those very first days of being a new family. You have options - before and after you welcome your new family member - to take time away from work:

Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL): If you are medically disabled due to pregnancy, you may qualify for PDL. For more information, click here. Paid-Time Off: Consider using PTO to spend extra time with your child or rest beforehand. Your available PTO amount can be found here.
Consider the Legal Plan through Arag
The legal plan offers a variety of opportunities for assistance with legal documents and processes, including adoption and trusts. For more information on the Legal Plan, visit the Legal Plan room in the Virtual Benefits Fair.

PROVIDER NETWORK INFORMATION 1. What providers currently participate in the San Antonio CHOICE Plan?The San Antonio CHOICE plan is made up of three tiers.

The members’ benefits, including copayments and coinsurance, are different for each tier/network. • Preferred In-Network benefits are specific to certain services available only at San Antonio Regional Hospital. • Other In-Network benefits are for any providers and facilities within the Cigna OAP Network • Out-of Network benefits are for any providers and facilities that are not in the Cigna OAP Network REFFERALS, PRECERTIFIATIONS, AND AUTHORIZATION INFORMATION 11. Are referrals required to a Specialist or facility for the San Antonio CHOICE or Cigna PPO plan? Referrals are not required but, it is recommended to visit you Primary Care Physician to direct you to the most appropriate and effective providers and facilities while being cost effective. 12. What services require precertification prior to having the service? There are services that require precertification for both the San Antonio CHOICE and Cigna PPO plans and it is the members responsibility (to work with their providers) to ensure they are obtained. Coverage may be denied if precertification is not done. Examples of services that require precertification include, MRIs, CAT scans, Durable Medical Equipment.

Claims must be submitted for processing within 180 days from date of service. 19. What if my claim is not processed as I thought it should be? Review your Explanation of Benefits (EOB), located on the member portal (www.4urbenefit.org) to ensure your claim (and the corresponding services with your provider) have all been submitted accurately and correctly. If you have further questions, call QualCare at 1.844.883.2425. • Did you see a physician who is covering for your PCP? – Be sure to communicate this when calling QualCare. 20. How do I get a new ID Card? Login to the QualCare member portal (www.4urbenefit.org/mybenefit) and go to “Print ID Cards” to request an additional ID Card that will be mailed to your home or print a pdf of the last ID Card mailed. 21. What is an Explanation of Benefits (EOB)? An EOB is a statement sent by QualCare to you (or accessed online) explaining what medical claims have been filed with QualCare and how these services were paid based on the plan’s benefits. It will also indicate whether or not you owe any additional out-of-pocket expenses such as deductibles, copays or coinsurance. 22. Can I get see a copy of an EOB online with QualCare? Login to the member portal (www.4urbenefit.org) and go to “View Claim Status” to view status of a claim and view/print the explanation of benefits. 23. What can I do to ensure that I am getting the full benefits of the plan I am enrolled in? • Understand what your plan covers, where you should go for care and your anticipated share in the cost. Both the San Antonio CHOICE and Cigna PPO plans provide a higher reimbursement when you get care at SARH. • Make sure your provider holds a contract with Cigna. Your PCP may refer you to a Specialist, but it’s your responsibility to determine that they are considered a Cigna contracted provider. Your doctor may also refer you to a stand-alone lab, radiology, or physical therapy provider, but the plan may pay less for those providers. 24. What should I do if I continue to get a bill for services that I don’t think I should pay? Call the number on the billing invoice to confirm where the charges were sent for payment. Sometimes a provider does not use the correct billing information.

San Antonio CHOICE and Cigna PPO plans, are administered by QualCare, Inc. (dba QANI Administrators), A Cigna Company
The new San Antonio CHOICE Plan was designed to enhance your benefits when you and your covered dependents utilize services provided by SARH and our list of physicians creating a “narrow network.” This narrow network includes local PCPs and Specialists that are currently used by nearly 80% of our employees enrolled in the Cigna PPO Plan. The affordable paycheck contributions, combined with low/no copays and out-of-pocket cost, make this a very attractive option for our employees. Here are some things you may wish to consider in electing this new plan coverage: • Are you and/or your covered dependents currently using a San Antonio CHOICE Tier 1 PCP and/or Specialist? If not, are you willing to obtain care from the list of CHOICE Plan PCPs and Specialists? • Election of a CHOICE network PCP is an important component of the plan and each covered member is required to elect a PCP. If you or your covered dependents do not elect a PCP during the online enrollment process, one will be assigned to you. Please note, the San Antonio CHOICE Plan does not require referrals like an HMO plan, the purpose of the PCP in the San Antonio CHOICE Plan is to serve as a resource for your health, wellness and care, and you can self-refer to Network Specialists. For a full list of Tier 1 PCPs, you can visit www.4URBENEFIT.org. • Participation in wellness components are required. If the wellness components are not completed, your paycheck contributions increase by 25%. The San Antonio CHOICE Plan can save you approximately $270 to $1,100 a year (depending on the number of dependents (if any) you choose to cover) compared to the Cigna PPO Plan.
Core Advantage EPO Plan A narrow network plan geared for Upland and Rancho Cucamonga (Tier 1) and High Desert, Loma Linda, and Riverside providers (Tier 2): • This plan is the lowest per paycheck contribution option (when Care Team Member completes wellness requirements) and the least costly option when you receive care from a Core Advantage EPO Network (Tier 1 or Tier 2) provider. • Tier 3 providers are in the Aetna Open Access Network; however, coinsurance and calendar year deductibles apply. • Out-of-network coverage is not available, except in the case of a true emergency. • You must select a narrow network PCP, who serves as your primary resource for health, wellness and care. • You can self-refer to a Network Specialists (Tier 1 and Tier 2).

Health Care Flexible Reimbursement Account Carryover Provision
2022 Contribution Limits
Here's How It Works
Typically, planning for the amount you would contribute to your Health Care Flexible Reimbursement Account was decided with an understanding that amounts not used by the end of the year, would be lost (the “Use It or Lose It” rule). However, San Antonio Regional Hospital has a carryover provision, allowing from $10 up to $550 of unused Health Care Flexible Reimbursement Account contributions to be carried over into 2023, as long as you are still considered an active Care Team Member. Carryover funds will be available in May each following year. While the “use it or lose it” provision still stands for any amount over $550, this provision allows more flexibility in timing of using some of your flex account dollars.
The maximum amounts you can contribute to the Health Care and Dependent Care Flexible Reimbursement Accounts for 2021 are shown below.
• Choose how much you want to set aside each pay period, on a pre-tax basis, to one or both accounts. • The amount is divided equally among the number of paychecks during the Plan Year and that amount is automatically deducted from your paycheck each pay period. • As you incur eligible expenses, you may use your reimbursement account debit card to pay at time of purchase or you may submit a claim to be reimbursed by the Plan.
The Flexible Reimbursement Accounts allow you to pay for covered qualified expenses with pre-tax dollars. Money is placed in these accounts before taxes are deducted from your paycheck and you can use the tax-free dollars to pay for eligible expenses. What this means to you is SAVINGS. • The Health Care Flexible Reimbursement Account: pay for qualified health, dental and vision expenses not reimbursed by your health plans. • The Dependent Care Flexible Reimbursement Account: pay for eligible child or dependent care expenses.
Flexible Reimbursement Accounts: Are these plans right for me?

403(b)
How can I contribute?
Through the convenience of payroll deductions, you can make combined before-tax or Roth after-tax contributions up to the lesser of $19,500 or 100% of includible compensation. Your before-tax contributions – and any earnings – will accumulate tax deferred until withdrawn (generally at retirement), at which time withdrawals will be taxed as ordinary income.* Roth contributions will be included as taxable income in the year of contribution. Earnings on Roth contributions will accumulate tax free, and retirement withdrawals may be exempt from federal income tax if certain requirements are met. The 401(k) catch-up contribution limit—if you're 50 or older in 2021—is $6,500.
*Withdrawals made prior to 59½ are subject to a 10% federal withdrawal penalty unless an exception applies.
