ELIGIBILITY

Newly Benefit-Eligible Employees

Newly benefit-eligible employees must enroll within 31 calendar days from their date
of hire or date of status change. Employees who fail to enroll for benefits within 31
calendar days will not have another enrollment opportunity until another Qualifying
Event occurs or until the next Annual Enrollment. Regardless of when enrollment
occurs within the 31-day window, this will not affect your benefit effective date and any
premiums missed will be deducted once enrollment is complete.

Life Event Changes (Changing Your Coverage)

During Annual Enrollment, you may change your benefit choices for the following year.
The benefits you select are generally effective for the entire year.

In order to change your benefit choices during the year, (add, drop or
change plans or add or delete dependents), you must have a Qualified Life
Event and submit a change request within 31 days of the event.

Qualifying life events: dryBaeGHoyeqeuasutrvsetiuosnibrftngeegntwaethmifoetbiatharesibrunvcyibehe?n3mdatn?1i.tge

• Marriage or divorce of the employee
• Birth, adoption, or change in custody of the employee’s child
• Death of the employee’s spouse and/or dependents
• Change in the employee’s or spouse’s employment status
• Leave of absence taken by the employee
• Gain or loss of coverage
• A significant change in the health coverage of the employee or spouse attributable

to the spouse’s employment
• You or your spouse becomes entitled to Medicare benefits
• Other events as the Plan Administrator determines to be permitted under IRS Section

125. This list is not all-inclusive.

NOTE: Newborn children of a covered employee will be covered from the moment of birth, provided that
enrollment for the child as a dependent is requested within 31 calendar days from the child’s birth.

To request a life event change, go to HealthyatTenet.com > My Benefits Center >
Enrollment and Life Event Changes or call the MyBenefits Customer Support Center at
877-468-3638 within 31 days of the event. Documentation may be required.

Medicare

If you are age 65 or older, you will be asked, during the Annual Enrollment process, to
indicate whether you are or will be enrolled in Medicare as of January 31, 2015.

If you do not respond to the question and you elect the Health & Savings Plan (HSP),
you will automatically default to a taxable cash payment of your Health Incentive
(if earned), regardless of your Medicare enrollment status. (Normally, the incentive
would be deposited into your Health Savings Account.) The contribution cannot be
changed after the benefits enrollment period ends. If you enroll in the HSP and enroll
for Medicare later in the year, it is your responsibility to notify MyBenefits Customer
Support Center at 877-46-TENET that you are no longer eligible to make Health
Savings Account (HSA) contributions.

If you need more information about how Medicare enrollment affects HSAs, please
review the Medicare and Your Medical Plan FAQs on HealthyatTenet.

ELIGIBILITY

To receive Domestic Partners
domestic partner
benefits, please You may enroll your domestic partner in the medical, dental, vision, life and AD&D
note the special programs if you and your domestic partner meet any of the following criteria:
• Consider each other life partners
rules and • Both are age 18 or older
requirements • Not blood related
• Have lived together for at least six months
• Share the same permanent address 7
• Have joint responsibility for each other’s welfare and are mentally competent
• Not legally married to or in a domestic partnership with anyone else
• Not have had another domestic partner within the past six months
• Share necessities of life and financial interdependence (shown by at least one of the

following):
––A joint bank account*
––Joint ownership, mortgage or lease of a residence
––Evidence of common household expenses, such as utilities or phone*
––Valid driver’s license or state issued identification card showing the same
address for domestic partner and employee.

You must submit required verification documents (and a domestic partnership affidavit
if applicable) to enroll your domestic partner.

*Must be dated within current plan year in which the coverage is being added or verified.

Tax implications: Unless your domestic partner and his or her children qualify as
dependents for federal income tax purposes, there may be tax implications associated
with covering them on your benefits plans. Contact your tax advisor for more
information about federal tax dependent status.

––Employee premiums: Employee premiums are typically deducted from each
paycheck on a before-tax basis. This provides a special tax advantage and
lowers the actual cost to employees. The premiums for domestic partner
coverage are deducted from each paycheck on an after-tax basis unless the
domestic partner qualifies as a dependent for federal income tax purposes.

–– Imputed income: The benefits provided to your non-tax-dependent domestic
partner are treated as imputed income for federal income tax purposes. Imputed
income is the difference between the value of the benefits and the amount you
paid for them. You must pay federal income taxes (including Social Security and
Medicare tax) and any required state income taxes on the imputed income.

Flexible Spending Accounts: Unless your domestic partner and his or her children
qualify as dependents for federal income tax purposes, any expenses they incur are not
eligible for reimbursement from a flexible spending account like Tenet’s Health Care
Spending Account and/or Dependent Day Care Spending Account.

Health & Savings Account (HSA): The IRS restricts HSA contribution limits and
disbursements for employees with domestic partners. If your domestic partner does
not qualify as a tax dependent, federal law does not permit contributions into or
reimbursements from the HSA on behalf of a domestic partner. If you are part of a
domestic partnership, Tenet will fund your HSA at the Employee + Spouse level. If you
and your domestic partner are enrolled in Employee + Spouse medical coverage, your
annual maximum HSA contribution is limited to the Employee Only level of $3,350.

See the Eligibility and Enrollment section of the Summary Plan Description (SPD) for details about
covering your domestic partner or same sex spouse.

Save by Using Tenet Facilities and Providers

The Tenet Commitment to Quality is our foundation for the best patient care in the
country. Because we want the best for you and your family, we encourage you to use
Tenet facilities and Tenet-affiliated physicians whenever you need care. You and your
family members will receive not only excellent care but also substantially lower costs.
Depending on the medical plan you select and the services provided, your out-of-
pocket costs for healthcare can be significantly lower.

The Tenet network of hospitals, outpatient facilities and affiliated physicians is constantly
growing, making it easier for you to access excellent care at the lowest costs.

Your Medical Coverage Options

Tenet’s medical plans provide comprehensive coverage designed to meet the needs Think of Tier 1 as
of you and your family. You may select coverage for you and your eligible dependents your “employee discount”
through these plan options: benefit. You’ll save when you
• Health & Savings Plan (HSP). This plan includes an employee-funded Health receive care from Tenet

Savings Account (HSA). providers.
• Health & Reimbursement Plan (HRP). This plan includes a company-funded

Health Reimbursement Account (HRA).

With these plans, you have the freedom to see the provider of your choice; however,
using your coverage wisely can help save you money.

Level of Coverage

• Employee Only • Employee + Child • Employee + Family

• Employee + Spouse • Employee + Children

Network Options

Tenet’s medical plans offer three tiers of coverage and benefits.
• Tier 1 (in-network) includes Tenet-employed and Tenet-preferred physicians and

Tenet-owned and Tenet-preferred facilities.
––Tier 1 offers the best benefit coverage at the lowest cost to employees. Think
of Tier 1 as your “employee discount” benefit. Because you work for a large
healthcare company, you receive special discounts and benefits when you
receive care from Tenet providers and at Tenet facilities.

• Tier 2 (in-network) includes physicians and facilities within the medical insurance
carrier’s network, but they are not directly affiliated with Tenet and do not offer the

extra savings benefits.
––Think of these in-network physicians and in-network, non-Tenet facilities as
your “standard” level of coverage. Using Tier 2 providers is the prudent choice if
using Tier 1 providers is not an option.
––If you intend to receive care at a Tier 2 facility, be sure to request a “gap
exception” from your carrier prior to a scheduled service. Failure to obtain
gap exception approval will result in substantially higher costs to you. See the
Network Gap Exception section for more information.

MEDICAL • HEALTH & SAVINGS PLAN

Ionfteueoxyttcoswegiuedpotetrnikoeat,nehdbgefaeipcrTasserutner.eet • Tier 3 (out-of-network) providers include any physicians and facilities outside your
medical carrier’s network. These providers will cost you substantially more money.
9
To keep your costs as low as possible, use Tenet-employed or Tenet-preferred
physicians and Tenet facilities whenever possible. At a minimum, confirm that your
providers are in-network before you receive care.

Network Gap Exception

If Tenet facilities or services are not an option for you, you can still receive affordable
care at non-Tenet facilities when certain guidelines are met and pre-approval is
obtained from the medical insurance carrier. To obtain a network gap exception, you
must call the Member Services number on the back of your medical ID card.

Gap exceptions may be approved if:
• Services are not available at a Tenet facility within 45 miles of your home;
• Or if it is an emergency admission (an exception is automatic for emergency

services);
• Or if services are available at a Tenet facility within 45 miles of your home but your

specific medical needs cannot be met (medical management review is required).

You will pay substantially more if services are provided without gap exception pre-
approval or at out-of-network facilities.

Gap exceptions apply to facilities only; gap exceptions are not required for physician
office visits. See the Network Gap Exceptions FAQ document on HealthyatTenet for
additional information.

Tobacco Surcharge

When you enroll for medical coverage, you will be required to complete a Tobacco
Declaration. If you and your covered dependents have used tobacco products
(cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars, pipes, smokeless tobacco) within the last 12 weeks,
you will pay a surcharge every pay period for medical coverage. This higher premium
relates to the higher healthcare costs associated with tobacco users.

The tobacco surcharge for a 12-month period is $650; this amount will be pro-rated
and spread over all pay periods. If you do not complete a Tobacco Declaration during
enrollment, tobacco-related claims could be denied in the future.

Need help to stop tobacco use? Enroll now in the free tobacco cessation program by
calling the Tenet Personal Health Team at 877-263-3552.

Health & Savings Plan

The Health & Savings Plan (HSP) is a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) that provides
comprehensive coverage and protection for you and your family. This plan encourages
participants to take a more active role in managing their medical care by providing
greater cost transparency.

Because Tenet’s HSP is a federally qualified HDHP, participants may open a Health
Savings Account (HSA) — a tax-advantaged account that can be used to pay eligible
healthcare expenses now or in the future. See the Health Savings Account section for
more information.

HEALTH & SAVINGS PLAN

Health Savings Account

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is an individual, tax-advantaged account that you can
use to pay qualified healthcare expenses (medical, prescription, dental, vision) for you,
your spouse, and your dependents.

Tax advantages

All HSA deposits, interest earnings and withdrawals (when used to pay eligible
expenses) are free of federal taxes.

Contributions

You may contribute to the account through automatic, pre-tax payroll deductions. This
helps build your account quickly and reduces your taxable income. You can start, stop,
or change your contribution amount at any time during the year by contacting the
MyBenefits Customer Support Center at 877-468-3638. You can also make after-tax
contributions by personal check sent directly to Fidelity Investments and then claim the
contribution on your federal income tax return.

If you earned a Health Incentive in 2014, Tenet will deposit the incentive into your HSA.
By enrolling in the Health & Savings Plan in 2015, you are eligible to earn a Health
Incentive of up to $400 for yourself, or up to $800 for yourself and spouse.

Annual HSA contribution maximum

Each year, the IRS sets an annual HSA contribution limit. This includes any funds
deposited by Tenet and any personal contributions you may make.

IRS Mandated Annual HSA Employee Only Coverage Employee + Spouse, Child(ren)
Contribution Limits $3,350 or Family Coverage
$1,000 $6,650
Annual HSA Contribution Maximum*
$1,000
Annual Catch-Up Contributions
(age 55+)

Although there are limits to how much can be contributed to your HSA in any single
year, there is no limit on how large your account can grow over the years.

* Contribution maximum includes employee and employer contributions.

NOTE: You, not your employer, are responsible for ensuring that your annual HSA contributions do not
exceed the annual contribution limits set by the IRS.

Rollover

Any unused HSA funds roll over from year to year. There are no “use it or lose it”
deadlines as there are with Flexible Spending Accounts. There are also no time limits
within which you must make withdrawals. That means you could reimburse yourself
for a qualified expense you had months or even years earlier, as long as your HSA was
open at the time the expense was incurred.

Portable

Your HSA is yours to keep. If you change medical plans or leave Tenet, the account and
all the funds in it go with you. If you change medical plans, leave Tenet, or enroll in
Medicare, you can continue to use the account to pay qualified healthcare expenses,
but you can no longer contribute to the account.

HEALTH & SAVINGS PLAN

Eligibility

You can open and contribute to an HSA only if you enroll in a federally qualified HDHP
like Tenet’s Health & Savings Plan. You must also meet several eligibility criteria:
• You cannot be covered by another health plan that is not HSA eligible.
• You cannot be enrolled in Medicare. You can be eligible for Medicare – you just

can’t be enrolled in Medicare.
• You cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return. A joint tax

return is fine.
• You cannot have a foreign address (outside the U.S.)

If you cover your spouse under the Health & Savings Plan, your
spouse cannot have a standard Healthcare FSA; he or she may
have a Limited Healthcare FSA, if available.

Open your HSA

To open an HSA, just go to the Fidelity Investments website
at www.NetBenefits.com after you have enrolled in the Health
& Savings Plan. Opening an HSA is NOT automatic and is not
handled by Tenet. You must open the account for yourself. Just
follow the online enrollment instructions.

Open your HSA as soon as possible to ensure that your employee
contributions, if elected, begin promptly. If your HSA is not
opened by January 31 (for Annual Enrollment) or within 31 days
of your benefits effective date (for new hires or Life Event/Status
changes), you will forfeit any Tenet contribution, including your
Health Incentive.

If you already have a Fidelity HSA with Tenet, no additional action
is required. You just need to elect a deferral amount for the new
year, if you wish.

HSA investment options

Since your HSA is an individual brokerage account with Fidelity Investments, you can
invest your HSA funds. Initially, all account contributions are deposited in an FDIC-
insured core position or money-market account. If you are using your HSA regularly to
pay for healthcare expenses, you may want to keep your balance in this core position.

But, if you are using your HSA for longer-term savings, you may want to consider other
investment strategies. Once you reach a minimum $2,500 balance, you may invest in:

––Fidelity and other mutual funds
––Individual stocks, bonds, treasuries, and CDs
––Exchange-traded funds, or other options

Please be aware that investment options may come with minimum requirements,
expenses, and market risks.

Under the Health & Reimbursement Plan, the deductible does not apply when you for you.
receive care from a Tier 1, Tenet-owned or Tenet-preferred facility and/or from a
Tenet-employed or Tenet-preferred physician. Please check with your medical carrier
prior to receiving services to confirm each providers’ Tier 1 status. In addition, co-
insurance may be waived by some Tier 1 providers. Please check with your providers
for employee out-of-pocket responsibility.

See the Health & Reimbursement Medical Plan Overview chart on the next page for
more details.

No deductible for prescriptions

Prescription drug benefits are available without a deductible requirement, (unlike the
Health & Savings Plan). Beginning in 2015, your prescription co-pays and co-insurance
apply to the medical plan deductible and out-of-pocket maximum, helping those with
high prescription expenses meet their deductible more quickly.

Health Reimbursement Account

A Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) is a Tenet-funded account that you can
use to pay qualified healthcare expenses (medical, prescription, dental, vision) for you,
your spouse, and your dependents. When you enroll in the Health & Reimbursement
Plan, an HRA is opened automatically for you and is available on the first day your
benefits begin.

HRA funding

Your HRA is funded in two ways:
• Tenet makes an annual company contribution of $300 for Employee Only or

$600 for Employee + Spouse, Child(ren) or Family coverage (pro-rated for new
employees).
• Your Health Incentive, if earned — up to $400 for yourself or up to $800 for yourself
and covered spouse — will be deposited into your HRA.

You cannot make any personal contributions to an HRA. If you would like to have more
funds available for healthcare expenses, you may want to consider opening a tax-
advantaged Healthcare Spending Account, an FSA.

HEALTH & REIMBURSEMENT PLAN The “Your Spending
Account” debit card
Rollover works for both your

Any unused HRA funds roll over year after year as long as you remain enrolled in the HRA and FSA
Health & Reimbursement Plan; however, the balance is lost if you leave the plan or the
company.

Using HRA funds

When you enroll in the Health & Reimbursement Plan, you will receive a “Your Spending
Account” debit card that you can use at doctor’s offices, healthcare facilities and
pharmacies. The debit card is mailed automatically to your address on file. You should
receive it before your benefit plan becomes effective.

Alternately, you may pay for qualified healthcare expenses with your own money and
file a claim for reimbursement. Just go to HealthyatTenet. At the bottom of the home
page, under “Site Links,” click the “FSA, HRA Reimbursement Claim” link and you will
be redirected to the enrollment website. Go to the “Other Benefits” tab and select “Your
Spending Account” from the drop-down menu. Then follow the on-screen instructions.

HRA and FSA compatibility

In addition to your HRA, you are also eligible to open a Healthcare Spending Account (a
flexible spending account or FSA). You can set aside as much as $2,500 on a tax-free
basis to use for out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. Other types of high-deductible
health plans with Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), by law, cannot offer a healthcare
flexible spending account option.

The “Your Spending Account” debit card works for both your HRA and
FSA. The two programs work together seamlessly. Your healthcare
expenses are paid first from your FSA. When your FSA balance
reaches $0, additional healthcare expenses are paid from your HRA.
The FSA is used first because unused funds do not roll over year
after year, whereas unused HRA funds do roll over.

16

PRESCRIPTION DRUG PLAN

Prescription Drug Plan

If you enroll in a medical plan, prescription drug coverage is included and is
administered by CVS/Caremark. Your out-of-pocket prescription expenses are based
on the medical plan selected and the tier to which the drug is assigned. You may
purchase prescription drugs at any retail pharmacy in the CVS/Caremark network (CVS,
Walgreens, Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, Target, etc.).

Mail order

The mail order drug program allows you to buy up to a 90-day supply of medication

you take on an ongoing basis, such as high blood pressure medicine, insulin or

contraceptives.

YapIoCDirnsuaeefrscpoewcararmrimirldplaaatrtrtwkieeoiiocntcenohi.dvnreCtuaVgcSt/ Maintenance Choice Program

If you or your dependents use maintenance prescription drugs, they must be filled
through the mail order drug program or at a CVS pharmacy location only. With each
new maintenance prescription, you may fill your prescription twice at retail before you
must transition to a 90-day supply through mail order.

Generic utilization

Generic prescriptions save you money. Although use of generic equivalents is
recommended, you still have the option to obtain a brand name prescription if a generic
is not your preference. However, if you choose to obtain a brand name drug when a
generic is available, you may be assessed a penalty on top of the brand co-pay.

Specialty pharmacy

Specialty prescriptions may be filled once at any in-network pharmacy; however,
subsequent fills must be made through mail order service. You may request that the
prescription be sent to your home address or nearby Caremark/CVS retail store. If the
prescription is not filled through mail-order after the initial fill, the claim will not be
paid. Specialty medications can include drugs that are very expensive, have limited
access, require complicated treatment regimens, compliance issues, special storage
requirements or manufacturing reporting requirements. Caremark will notify you if your
prescription is categorized as a specialty drug.

Specialty medications may be filled at Tenet-owned, onsite pharmacies. For a list of eligible onsite
pharmacies, please contact CVS/Caremark.

DENTAL • VISION

Dental

Tenet offers two dental plan options: Comprehensive and Preventive. Both are adminis-
tered by Cigna. With either plan, you may see any dental provider you like (the cover-
age is the same), but you will save money if you choose a dentist in the Cigna network.

If you use an out-of-network provider, the plan pays only “reasonable and customary”
charges. An in-network dentist’s charges are always within the “reasonable and
customary” range, but an out-of-network dentist’s fees may not be. If an out-of-
network dentist’s charges are higher, you may have to pay the difference.

Vision

Tenet’s vision plan, administered by VSP, covers eye exams, lenses, frames and contact
lenses, and offers discounts on laser eye surgery.

You may see any eye care provider you like – in-network or out-of-network – but you’ll
receive better benefits and save more money if you use a doctor in the VSP network.
In addition, when you use a VSP provider, there are no claim forms to file. VSP will
pay your doctor directly for services and materials covered by the plan. If you use an
out-of-network provider, you’ll need to pay the entire bill at the time you receive service
and then submit a reimbursement claim to VSP.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS

Flexible Spending Accounts

A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars through
automatic payroll deductions and then reclaim them to pay eligible expenses.

You need to be careful when you select an FSA because unused funds do not roll over
from year to year. In other words, you must “use or lose” all the money in your account
each year. All funds must be used by December 31 of the current plan year and
claimed by March 31 of the following year, or they are forfeited.

Healthcare and dependent day care FSA highlights

Eligible Expenses Healthcare FSA Dependent Day Care FSA

Minimum/Maximum Medical, prescription, dental, Day care expenses for:

$130 - $2,500/year $130 - $5,000/year
Maximum contribution amount may vary depending on certain
compensation criteria

On first day of plan effective date As balance is available

Healthcare FSA

One of the unique advantages of a Healthcare Spending Account is that you can access
the entire amount that you elected to set aside – as of the plan effective date, even
though you contribute to the account throughout the year through payroll deduction.
This makes paying for a large expense, early in the year, a little easier.

All of the money in your Healthcare FSA must be spent by the end of the plan year,
December 31. Unused funds will be forfeited. You will have until March 31 of the
following year to submit a claim for eligible expenses incurred prior to December 31.

Healthcare FSA debit card

If you enroll in the Healthcare FSA, you will receive a “Your Spending Account” debit
card that you can use to pay eligible expenses at the point of service.

You may also pay with your own money and file a claim for reimbursement later.
When you file a reimbursement claim, you must also submit receipts. When you
use your debit card, you usually do not have to submit receipts, but it is a good
idea to keep them for your records.

If you enroll in the Health & Reimbursement Plan and enroll in the Healthcare FSA, your
qualified healthcare expenses will be paid from your FSA first. After those funds are
used, additional healthcare expenses will be paid from your HRA. The FSA is used first
because unused funds do not roll over year after year, whereas unused HRA funds do
roll over.

Eligibility

Full-time and part-time 1 employees are eligible for a Healthcare FSA on the 31st day
of employment. If you elect the Health & Savings Plan medical coverage, you cannot
elect a Healthcare FSA.

Disability

Employees may purchase disability insurance that provides income if you become
temporarily or permanently disabled and are unable to work.

Disability insurance can help pay your rent, groceries, or other bills if you are unable to
work due to the birth of a child, injury, or extended illness. It offers financial protection
by providing a tax-free benefit while you are disabled or absent more than 14 or 30
days. This waiting period is called an elimination period. An elimination period is the
number of days that must pass between your first day of a covered disability and the
day you can begin to qualify for disability benefits. This plan does not cover disabilities
due to occupational sickness and injury.
