What is a Copayment?
A copayment is a pre-determined amount you must pay out-of-pocket when seeing a service
provider. It is paid directly to the provider and is due at the me services are rendered.
What is a Deductible?
A deducble is a pre-determined amount that is paid by you before the insurer begins to pay.
What is Coinsurance?
Coinsurance is the percentage paid by the insurer and the percentage paid by you aer you have
met the deducble.
What is Precertication?
Certain services, such as hospitalizaon or outpaent surgery, may require prior authorizaon with
your insurer to verify coverage for those services. When required, your parcipang physician
must obtain a precercaon for you prior to your treatment.
What is a Primary Care Physician?(PCP)
A physician who is usually the rst health professional to examine a paent and who recommends
secondary care physicians, medical or surgical specialists with experse in the paents specic
health problem, if further treatment is needed.
Where can I nd an in-network provider?
Directories of parcipang service providers may be found on Myaglerbenets.com. If you do not
have internet access, you may call MyQHealth at 1-855-497-1235 for assistance.
Should I use a Convenient Care Center, an Urgent Care Center, or the Emergency Room?
Convenient Care Centers (found in many CVS and Walgreens stores) are a great way to address the
common cough, cold, and sore throat. The cost is normally the same co-payment as seeing your
doctor. Urgent Care Centers are another great alternave to the Emergency Room when your
doctors oce is closed. The co-payments are normally a lot less than an Emergency Room visit.

PRUDENTRX
Only available on the
Standard & Premium
Plan
Your specialty prescripon benet plan will look a lile dierent.
Heres whats new
PrudentRx has collaborated with CVS Caremark® to oer a third-
party (manufacturer) copay assistance program* that may help
save you money on your specialty prescripon.
How it works
Youll pay nothing out of pocket thats right, $0! – for medica-
ons on your plans specialty drug list dispensed by CVS Special-
ty®, as well as select high-cost limited distribuon drugs (LDDs) as
outlined within the PrudentRx Copay Program drug list. We will
work with you to obtain third-party copay assistance for your
medicaon, if available.**
How to get started
Your enrollment in the program will be started automacally, but
you must speak with a PrudentRx advocate to nalize enroll-
ment.** You can choose to opt out at any me.
*Not all specialty prescripons oer assistance. Eligibility for third-party copay assistance program is dependent on the applicable terms andcondions required
by that parcular program and are subject to change.
**Some manufacturers require you to sign up to take advantage of the copay assistance that they provide for their medicaons – in that case, you must call
PrudentRx to parcipate in the copay assistance for that medicaon. PrudentRx will also contact you if you are required to enroll in the copay assistance for any
medicaon that you take. If you do not return their call, choose to opt-out of the program, or if you do not armavely enroll in any copay assistance as re-
quired by a manufacturer, you will be responsible for 30 percent of the cost of your specialty medicaons.
Out-of-pocket maximum is the amount you must pay each policy year before the policy starts paying the full benets. This may be for the whole family and/or
one person alone.
Your privacy is important to us. Our employees are trained regarding the appropriate way to handle your private health informaon.

PRESCRIPTION DRUG BENEFITS
An update on
your specialty
Rx benefit
Heres whats changing
Were changing how we calculate your annual deducble and out-
of-pocket (OOP) maximum* if you use a third-party copay assistance
program**, commonly referred to as a manufacturer copay card”, when
you ll your specialty medicaons. When you use a copay assistance
program, your OOP is reduced to save you money and help you get the
medicaon you need. You can sll use these programs to help save
money, but any savings or rebates you receive from the manufacturer
will no longer count toward your deducble or OOP maximum.
What this means for you
Aer you enroll in a third-party copay assistance program, the amount
you have to pay OOP for your medicaons may be reduced or stay the
same, however only what you pay OOP will apply toward your
Sam has rheumatoid
arthris and is
prescribed an
expensive medicaon
Fortunately, the
drug manufacturer
oers a copay card
to assist with the cost
Now, Sams
medicaon costs
$175 less. Sam only
pays $25 OOP
Sam can ll his
medicaon
with reduced
OOP costs
Only the $25 Sam
paid is counted
toward his deducble
and OOP maximum
Well send more
informaon
before we make
this plan change.
In the meanme,
you can connue to
ll your prescripons
as usual.
*Out-of-pocket maximum is the amount you must pay each policy year before the policy starts paying the full benets. This may be for the whole
family and/or one person alone. Some policies may also include a deducble that must be sased before copays or coinsurance applies.
**Not all specialty prescripons oer copay assistance. Eligibility for third-party copay assistance programs is dependent on the applicable terms
and condions required by that parcular program and are subject to change. This change does not aect copay assistance programs provided
by foundaons or nancial need-based copay assistance. If a copay assistance program is available for your medicaon, a specialty pharmacy
representave may be able to assist you with more informaon.
FLAGLER SCHOOLS EMPLOYEE BENEFITS GUIDE | 13
Prescription Drug Cost Comparison Tools:
Use GoodRx and SingleCares drug price search to compare prices (just like you do for travel or
electronics on other sites) for your prescripon at pharmacies near you. GoodRx as well as SingleCare
do not sell the medicaons, the free website and mobile app will tell you where you can get the best
deal on them. If you have insurance, your co-pay might not be the best price. Hundreds of generic
medicaons are available for $4 or even free without insurance. Every week both GoodRx and SingleCare
collect millions of prices and discounts from pharmacies, drug manufacturers and other sources. GoodRx and
SingleCare will show you prices, coupons, discounts and savings ps for your prescripons at pharmacies near
you. There is no cost or membership required to use either of these cost savings tools. Please visit the websites at
www.goodrx.com and www.singlecare.com. You can also download these apps on your smartphone. Please note: amounts paid
for prescripons using GoodRx or SingleCares discount programs do not apply toward your medical plans deducble or annual
out of pocket maximum.
Urgent Care/Walk-In-Clinics Vs. Emergency:
Do not pay more than you have to for medical care. The Emergency room is meant for true
emergencies such as life threatening illnesses and injuries. Walk-in-clinics are designed to treat
common ailments and provide basic primary health care and are typically staed by nurse
praconers and somemes a physicians assistant. They are used for common ailments such
as: u/strep throat, allergies, cold and cough. Urgent care facilies are designed to serve
paents who are suering from acute illnesses and injuries which are beyond the capacies of
a regular walk-in-clinic, are typically open for extended hours, and are used to treat non-life
threatening injuries and illnesses. To maximize savings use in-network facilies.
Above are potenal ways to save money on the cost of medical care and prescripons. Actual results may vary.
Pharmacy Discount Programs:
Before you pay for your next prescripon, check to see if they are available for free or at a lower cost than tradional copays.
Pharmacies such as Wal-Mart, CVS/Target, and Costco oer prescripon discount programs that allow you to purchase
medicaons for as low as $4 for a 30 day Supply. If your local pharmacy is not listed please check with them to see if they oer
any discounts.
COST SAVINGS TOOLS
FLAGLER SCHOOLS EMPLOYEE BENEFITS GUIDE | 14
A health savings account (HSA) combines high deducble health insurance with a tax-favored savings account. Money in the savings
account can help pay the costs of qualied medical expenses not covered by medical insurance for you and your dependents. Money le in
the savings account earns interest and is yours to keep.
EMPLOYEE OWNED ACCOUNT
Pre-tax contribuons
Pay for any qualied medical, dental & vision expenses for yourself, spouse or dependents even if they are enrolled under another
medical plan. (See IRS Publicaon 502 for a complete list of qualied medical expenses sample list below).
To be HSA-eligible for a month, an individual must:
Be covered by an HDHP on the rst day of the month;
Not be covered by other health coverage that is not an HDHP (with certain excepons);
Not be enrolled in Medicare; and
Not be eligible to be claimed as a dependent on another persons tax return.
Why might an HSA be the right choice for you?
It saves you money. For individuals with few regular health expenses, paying a tradional health plan premium can feel like
throwing money out the window. HDHPs come with much lower premiums than tradional health plans, meaning less money is
deducted from your paychecks. Plus, HSAs are basically cashaccounts, so you may be able to negoate pricing on many medical
services.
Its portable. Even if you change jobs, you get to keep your HSA.
Its a tax saver. Contribuons to your HSA are made with pre-tax dollars. Since your taxable income is decreased by your
contribuons, you pay less in taxes.
It allows for an improved rerement account. Funds roll over at the end of each year and accumulate tax-free, as does the interest
on the account. Also, once you reach the age of 55, you are allowed to make addional catch-upcontribuons to your HSA unl
age 65.
It puts money in your pocket. You never lose unused HSA funds. They always roll over to the next year.

15, 2024 to use your benets and unl November 30, 2024 to submit for reimbursement for claims incurred during the plan
year or applicable grace period or you will lose any unused balance. You should only contribute the amount of money you
expect to pay out of pocket that year. The maximum you can contribute each year is $3,050 (Minimum $300).
WHAT IS A DEPENDENT CARE FSA: Dependent care FSAs allow you to contribute pre-tax dollars to pay for qualied
dependent care. The maximum amount you may contribute each year is $5,000 (or $2,500 if married and ling separately).
The dependent care FSA is a use it or lose it. Eligible expenses include expenses from a qualied dependent day care facility,
daycare for children under the age of 13, disabled spouses, and dependent parent.
FSA CASE STUDY: Because FSAs provide you with an important tax advantage that can help you pay for health care
expenses on a pre-tax basis, due to the personal tax savings you incur, your spendable income will increase. The example
that follows illustrates how an FSA can save you money.
