Freedom to move forwardAccording to estimates from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), approximately 190,000 Americans are affected by Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) every year.1 Despite receiving therapy with mechanical ventilation, which is widely considered the standard of care, approximately 40% of patients diagnosed with ARDS will die as a result of the disease.2 Veno‐venous extracorporeal life support (VV ECLS) is an emerging therapy designed to provide a higher level of support by infusing oxygen directly into the blood using an oxygenator, a medical device that acts as an artificial lung. In one large, randomized, controlled clinical trial of 180 adult ARDS patients, the use of advanced VV ECLS therapy was shown to reduce the rate of death and disability by 31% compared to conventional management with mechanical ventilation.3

The PROTEK DuoTM cannula is designed to address two major roadblocks that have prevented VV ECLS therapy from becoming a new standard of care: the difficulty of initiating and maintaining a patient on VV ECLS support, and suboptimal gas exchange rates with devices that are currently available. Insertion of the PROTEK DuoTM cannula can be performed through a minimally

invasive percutaneous procedure, and patient management is simplified by combining with the lightweight and compact TandemHeart® pump, which can be placed directly on the patient. The TandemHeart® platform is designed to simplify patient ambulation and enable freedom of movement that is not possible with mechanical ventilation or any alternative ECLS devices.

Omni-directional inflow ports are designed to mitigate recirculation and provide 360 degree access for ease in positioning.

Patient management is simplified with the lightweight, compact TandemHeart® pump, which can be placed directly on the patient to allow for ease in ambulation.

The tapered introducer tip provides gentle entrance into the vessel for smooth cannula placement.

Why RedZone?

Today’s wastewater managers are tasked with making critical decisions about their valuable collection system assets while being constrained by insuffi cient technologies, time, funding, and resources. What is needed is more control over useful information that is accurate, complete, centralized, and standardized.

Wastewater management is of critical environmental importance to the world’s urban areas. The EPA estimates that U.S. investments in wastewater will need to increase by more than $150 billion over the next two decades to maintain current service levels if new spending and operations practices are not adopted.

RedZone Robotics simplifi es wastewater management by providing world-class robotic inspection technologies and sophisticated data-analysis software. Our solutions provide the truly useful information that is required to make better decisions while reducing spending and negative environmental impact.

Benefi ts of Working with RedZone

Save Time With inspection technologies that are faster than conventional methods, you get the core information required to facilitate understanding and planning sooner. Our decision-support software puts all of your essential information at your fi ngertips so that you can make more timely decisions.

Save Money RedZone inspections are more cost-effective than the alternatives. Once you start understanding your system comprehensively, you are able to eliminate things like unnecessary cleaning and to better prioritize your repairs and renewal efforts. Finally, because our software is deployed as a service, the total cost of ownership is lower.

Save the Environment Pinpointing priorities and inspecting your system on a more timely cycle will give you the information needed to avoid CSOs, SSOs, and needless construction. Our Solo inspection robots are battery powered, and our Software-as-a-Service decision-support application frees up energy that would otherwise be dedicated to in-house IT solutions.

Increase Control As you gather information in a more timely manner and put all of your data in a centralized database that can be accessed anywhere, you will be empowered with better decision support. This results in more control over your system for you and less dependence on third parties to make your information useful.

Small Robot, Huge Impact

Small Diameter Pipe Inspection System

Solo enables better, more timely decision making by providing the most useful small pipe information faster than ever imagined. It is a truly autonomous platform that represents a breakthrough innovation in the industry. Unlike traditional technology, Solo inspects pipe without an operator present, and the results are coded offl ine. Because an operator can conduct multiple inspections at the same time, throughput is dramatically increased.

• On-board power, intelligence, and storage• Fully autonomous• Lightweight and easy to carry• Inspect with the manhole closed• Automatic GPS of manholes• Increased safety• Low carbon footprint• Daily inspection capacity 3 to 5 times that of conventional CCTV technologies• No dedicated truck required

Today’s wastewater managers have access to an abundance of information that is typically not all that useful because it resides in the form of “islands of information,” or disparate bunches of data. For information to be truly useful, it must be centralized and easy to access.

RESPONDER®

Solo®

Collection system management is the perfect setting for robotic inspection because it conforms to the 3Ds of robotics. Obviously, sewers are Dirty. They present great Danger to the environment if compromised, and to people if man-entry is required. And inspecting sewers is Dull because of the need for precise, repeatable actions to be continuously executed.

WE DIDN’T INVENTCONTROL,WE’REPERFECTING IT.

Remember when you were a kid? How you used your dad’s tools to build a go-cart, a tree house, to install an intake manifold in your first hot car? You started with LEGO® and now you build machines for a living. You’ve always built things. And building machines isn’t just a living to you, it’s what gets you up in the morning. Building things is what you’ve loved ever since the day you said to someone who cared for you, “I made this,” and heard him or her respond with, “Well done.”

We all know that when you make things for a living you’re wired a little differently than other folks. You notice stuff that others miss. You ask questions that don’t occur to other people. You ask questions about design and construction that other people don’t even consider important.

But you know it’s important. You build machines that people rely on. Often, the safety of others turns upon your attention to detail and what some may consider an obsession over “getting it right.”

You’re conscientious. You’re thorough. To those less conscientious and thorough you’re what’s politely known as a “details person.” But as someone once said, “The details are not the details. They make the product.” Some might say you’re a control freak.

But you know that’s not a bad thing.

You make promises. People depend on you. Every time you finish a build you put your reputation on the line. Why shouldn’t you have control?

c3controls understands. We’re control freaks too.

let’s build something together

The creativity of machine builders has markedly changed the fields of mining, harvesting, manufacturing, processing—even packaging and distribution—which in turn has transformed the common life of people worldwide by making available higher quality, less costly, safer goods.

But most people don’t fully appreciate how the quality of life has improved, let alone give thought to it—some things that people believed were strictly the stuff of science fiction only a decade ago are now considered commonplace. In a way, many of the things you create are hidden in plain sight from most of us.

In another decade we’ll be living in the midst of realities that don’t yet exist—realities that live only as ideas in the imaginations of people like you as you mull over how to better support the needs of your customers. And these ideas, too, are hiding in plain sight: scribbled on a paper napkin you stuffed in a coat pocket at a lunch counter, scrawled on a whiteboard in an office at the end of a hall, buried deep in a white paper waiting to be recognized as an innovation that might improve in some small way how your customers work—or revolutionize it.

We get what you’re about. At c3controls we don’t just supply things. We make things.

Donation and Pledge Form

Your donation will be entirely tax deductible by

the federal tax law.

You will receive an official acknowledgment

from the University of Pittsburgh.

In parallel to the fundraising effort, we are in the process of finalizing

the design created by the Korean architects.

The design of the Korean Heritage Room is based on the historic Korean

academic institution, SUNGKYUNKWAN. The room will be equipped with

a state-of-the-art audiovisual system including an interactive touch screen

LCD monitor. Thus, through this endeavor, we will have an opportunity to

showcase our splendid 5000-year history and cultural image, as well as the

intellectual and economic prosperity of South Korea.

The Korean Heritage Room Committee sincerely thanks you in advance

for your kind and generous support of this exciting community project.

In 2007, the University of Pittsburgh approved the installation of a

new Korean Heritage Room (KHR). Since then, a KHR Committee has

been chosen and has been diligently planning and working on this

special project.

With an estimated cost of $650,000 to complete, there is much funding

work to be done. We have secured approximately $340,000 of generous

contributions by the Korean Community, the Korea Foundation, and the

Poongsan Incorporation of Korea. Additional grants are expected from

Korea, but that leaves a substantial amount of funding needed to complete

the Korean Heritage Room.

The Cathedral of Learning at the University of

Pittsburgh is a historic landmark admired locally

as well as internationally.

One of the Cathedral’s most unique features is

that it serves as home to twenty-nine Nationality

Rooms... each exhibiting its own unique cultural

heritage by way of historic renderings and artworks,

and each serving as a permanent ambassador of

the nations represented.

715,000 Americans experience a heart attack each year.1

While many people survive the initial acute ischemic event, they are later impacted by reduced myocardial function and eventual heart failure.

55,000 people will die of heart failure this year.2

It is believed that reperfusion injury may account for 30–50% of the final infarct size after STEMI. This may explain why, despite optimal myocardial reperfusion, the rate of AMI approaches 10%, and the incidence of heart failure is 25%.

50% of patients diagnosed with heart failure die within 5 years.1

The TRIS Trial aims to combine the beneficial effects of rapid reperfusion with the benefits of myocardial unloading to minimize infarct size after STEMI and improve long term clinical outcomes.

THE VALUE OF

CARBON FOR GOLD RECOVERY

In your line of work, every ounce counts. As a result, it’s critical that you choose an activated carbon that minimizes loss and maximizes loading. Our activated carbon products for gold recovery applications accomplish these goals. And with the introduction of our new Gold Plus product, we can help you meet your treatment objectives at a lower cost.

Calgon Carbon’s high-quality activated carbons

for gold recovery have been developed and proven

to maximize efficiency by reducing the loss of

precious metals and carbon consumption with

three precious metal extraction techniques:

Carbon-in-Column (CIC), Carbon-in-Pulp (CIP),

and Carbon-in-Leach (CIL). Our granular activated

carbon (GAC) products offer:

• Higher gold adsorption capacities for maximum

gold loadings

• Excellent gold adsorption rates for high

throughput

• Superior hardness to minimize gold losses

and prevent plugging of screens

• Ability to liberate gold quickly and efficiently

In addition to our product advantages, Calgon

Carbon’s expertise in activated carbon application

technology is a valuable resource for designing

and optimizing your entire gold recovery process.

Calgon Carbon’s activated carbon products for gold recovery provide our customers with exceptional value by maximizing yield and minimizing loss.

3CALGON CARBON CORPORATION

THERMAL REGENERATION

A quality activated carbon product for precious metals recovery can be thermally regenerated and reused multiple times. To regenerate, spent activated carbon is processed in a horizontal kiln at high temperatures to devolatilize the material and reopen the carbon’s pore structure. When choosing an activated carbon product for gold recovery circuits, it is of paramount importance to consider the hardness of the carbon. A hard carbon particle will resist abrasion during operation and regeneration and maintain its usefulness for a longer life-cycle.

A variety of extraction techniques are employed to liberate gold from crushed raw ore. These processes make the gold available for release into the cyanide solution.

CARBON-IN-COLUMNCIC is most commonly used to recover gold from heap leaching operations, processes in which a sodium cyanide solution percolates through a “heap” of crushed and agglomerated ore, causing the gold to leach into the solution. The gold-bearing solution is then pumped to a series of adsorption columns containing activated carbon. Heap leaching followed by CIC circuits is a preferred method for gold recovery from low grade surface deposits and waste rock because of its low capital and operating costs.

CARBON-IN-PULPIn CIP operations, mined ore is milled and mixed with water and thickeners, creating a slurry of ore and water called pulp. The pulp is then pumped to air-agitated leaching vessels, where the gold is leached out of the ore using a sodium cyanide solution. The pulp is transferred to a series of adsorber tanks containing activated carbon, which mixes with the leached pulp and flows countercurrent to the pulp in a series of tanks. The gold-bearing activated carbon is separated from the pulp by a mesh screen that blocks the carbon from passing through, while the smaller pulp particles are filtered away.

CARBON-IN-LEACHCIL operations are very similar to CIP, but activated carbon is instead added directly to the vessels in which cyanidation is taking place. CIL is an especially beneficial technique when ore contains high levels of carbonaceous material. Naturally present carbon competes with the activated carbon in adsorbing gold in a process called “preg robbing,” which causes gold losses. Therefore, in CIL, the cyanidation process is carried out simultaneously with adsorption on activated carbon, which is in direct contact with pulp in the cyanide solution. The CIL process minimizes the time that cyanidated gold can be in contact with competing carbon native to the ore.

ADSORPTION PROCESSES WITH ACTIVATED CARBON


Typically, gold is not directly recovered. Instead, ore is crushed to release gold, which then reacts with sodium cyanide in a process called cyanidation. The process is characterized by the following chemical reaction:

After the metal complex (NaAu(CN)2) is formed, activated carbon will adsorb the gold cyanide complex from the gold bearing stream (pregnant liquor). To maximize loading on the carbon and overall yield, it is important to select a high quality carbon with the appropriate physical characteristics, which impact the performance of activated carbon for gold recovery applications. These properties include:

• Hardness Number Hardness is the resistance of particles to crack and/or break apart on handling. Poor activation can negatively impact hardness, resulting in high attrition and platelet generation within the gold circuit.

• CTC/Butane Activity CTC/Butane Activity are both measurements of the area available for the gold complex to bond and relate to the adsorption capacity, or k-value.

• Particle Size Distribution or Internal Screens The size of individual activated carbon particles has a significant impact on kinetics, the speed at which the gold complex is adsorbed. Smaller particles tend to adsorb more quickly, while larger particles tend to have slower kinetics. It is important to have a consistent particle size distribution or internal screen distribution to minimize gold loss and maximize gold loading.

Calgon Carbon’s products for gold recovery are manufactured using high quality coconut feedstock and rigorous manufacturing processes to maintain the quality and consistency required for maximum performance.

The dynamic structure and dispersion characteristics of lightweight synthetic particles deliver batch consistency and durable, lightweight concrete that pumps, places and finishes easily.

Elemix additive promotes consistent performance and can be used with standard supplementary cementitious materials (SCM).

Elemix additive lightweight synthetic particles add many sustainable benefits to structural lightweight concrete:

•Optimized thermal/energy performance via increased R-value in concrete and block, possibly reducing building heating and cooling loads.

•Reduced carbon emissions and oil consumption due to reduced weight of truckloads, particularly with precast or manufactured products.

•Source reduction in materials used for structural reinforcement. In many instances, use of fireproofing materials can be reduced.

•A longer potential lifespan, as concrete made with lightweight synthetic particles has shown improved freeze–thaw durability and resistance to cracking.

A project using concrete made with Elemix additive, depending on the region where the project is located, can potentially contribute to LEED® points.

The primary use of structural lightweight concrete is to reduce the dead load of a concrete structure, allowing the designer to reduce the size of columns, footings and other load-bearing elements. Concrete made with Elemix additive results in lightweight or reduced density concrete with many improved physical characteristics. For example, extensive third-party testing shows improved fire resistance for concrete made with Elemix additive and normal weight coarse aggregate. The typical thickness of a 2-hour–rated slab on metal deck was reduced by 1 inch with concrete produced with Elemix additive and normal weight coarse aggregate. A reduction in other fireproofing elements such as spray-applied fire-resistive materials (SFRMs) may also be achieved depending upon design. The improved fire performance resulting from the use of traditional lightweight coarse aggregate is also realized when used in combination with Elemix additive.

Specifiers can use Elemix additive in construction projects designed in accordance with the 2006 or 2009 International Building Code® or International Residential Code.® Testing conducted on hardened concrete bears evidence that mechanical and durability characteristics as defined by applicable building codes are maintained.

Elemix additive is code-compliant as validated by evaluation report ESR-2574.

Elemix concrete additive is approved as a partial replacement for conventional normal weight and lightweight aggregates, and its use can add up to significant overall project cost savings.

Elemix additive lightweight synthetic particles distribute uniformly throughout the concrete, lowering density without the need for air-entraining admixtures.

Research shows that concrete made with Elemix additive improves the concrete’s performance characteristics, including:

• Improved pumping

•Ease of placement and finishing

•Resistance to cracking

• Improved thermal performance

• Improved durability in freezing and thawing as well as deicer salt scaling

• Improved fire resistance (UL® and ULC® Listed)

In today’s fast-paced world, we are bombarded by numbers: social security numbers, phone numbers, numeric codes, and more. Surprisingly, then, some of the most important numbers in our lives – for our lives – can be the ones that are less familiar to us. The Know Your Numbers program is a partnership between Alcoa and Highmark to help make sure you know the numbers that are crucial to your well being. But the program does more. It gives you information to put those numbers into context and create an action plan to get them where you’d like them to be. It doesn’t have to start as a complete lifestyle overhaul. You may be surprised how big an impact you can have in moving your numbers in the right direction just by understanding what they mean and what you can do to get them where you want them.

For additional support and information on any of your numbers and ways to reach your targets:• Visit www.highmarkbcbs.com • Call 1-800-433-9906 to talk to a Health Coach.• Ask your health care provider about helpful lifestyle tips to reach your personal number goals. • Use the PROCAM Health Risk Calculator, which determines your risk of heart attack and stroke in just minutes.

KNOW… HOW TO EAT MORE HEALTHFULLY

KNOW…YOUR NUMBERS: WHAT HAS 100 OR FEWER CALORIES?

Working to move your numbers in a positive direction doesn’t necessarily mean leaving all of your favorite foods behind completely. It’s about making small changes and limiting splurge foods to special occasions. You may even find it helps to make and adjust to small changes instead of changing everything overnight. Your health care provider is a great resource to determine what might work best for you and which adjustments should come first. You’ll find other tips and resources on the next few pages.

2KNOW…YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE KNOW…YOUR LIPIDS

One of the most important numbers for your health is actually two numbers: your blood pressure. These numbers are important indicators of your heart health because they indicate the force being applied to your artery walls as your heart pumps blood throughout your body.

Blood pressure often sounds like a fraction with one number over another. The top number is the “systolic” measure and shows the pressure when your heart is at work pumping blood. The bottom number is the “diastolic” that reflects the pressure when your heart relaxes between beats.

If you have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis, you may be surprised that it is a bit different each time it’s checked. That’s normal because it constantly changes throughout the day and night to reflect different levels of activity.

If your blood pressure is consistently high, you may have hypertension, which can damage your blood vessels, heart and kidneys. That damage can happen even if you don’t feel any symptoms, which is why it’s so important to have your blood pressure checked. It’s quick, painless and only takes a few minutes. While your health care provider is the best resource to determine what your blood pressure goal should be, this chart can help you to understand the goal of any lifestyle tips your provider will suggest to improve your blood pressure numbers.

Chances are most people don’t hear the word “lipid” very often. Even so, lipids are important to consider when you’re thinking about your health. They are organic compounds that make up fats in the foods we eat and, as a result, in our systems. When it comes to numbers, there are two types of lipids you’ll need to learn about: cholesterol and triglycerides.

Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance that is in your bloodstream and other cells in your body. Your body uses it to build cells and some hormones. If you’re over the age of 20, you should be having your cholesterol checked at least every five years to discover potential indicators of your risk for heart disease. Because not all cholesterol is created equal, your “lipid profile” – or cholesterol measurement – results in three numbers:

• Total cholesterol

• HDL or “good” cholesterol. This helps protect you against heart disease. The higher this number is, the better.

• LDL or “bad” cholesterol. This is the main culprit for heart disease because it causes blockages in your arteries. The lower it is, the better.

The easy way to remember what your numbers mean is the “H” in HDL should be higher and “L” in LDL should be lower.

Then there are triglycerides. They store unused calories and can provide your body with energy – in the right amounts. When you eat, your body converts any calories it doesn’t need to power your system right away into triglycerides. Over time, if you eat more calories than you burn, you may have high triglycerides, which can lead to blocked vessels.

Lipids – cholesterol and triglycerides – are another great topic for a conversation with your health care provider, who is in the best position to determine how often you should be tested and what your goals should be. And because they are constantly reading new information and studies, they can provide you with lifestyle tips to improve your numbers.

As you continue reading and learn more about other numbers that impact your health, you’ll find additional resources to help you work to raise your HDL and lower your LDL and triglycerides.

3 THINGS You Need to Know about Enrollment

How to Enroll

2 MASTER HEALTH CARE PLAN BENEFITS

1 Per government rules, annual enrollment is the one opportunity for you to change who is covered through your benefits.

2 You must enroll by the date on your enrollment worksheet or you will receive default coverage (see page 16). To make changes at any other time, you must experience a qualified life event (e.g., getting married or divorced, having or adopting a baby, or your spouse gaining or losing employer-sponsored benefits).

3 If you enroll dependents in your coverage, you will be required to certify their eligibility (see page 8).

You can enroll in Alcoa Benefits on the Your Benefits Resources™ website, which is available 24 hours a day Monday through Saturday, and after 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Sunday.

During your enrollment period, when you log in to the website, you will see a reminder that it is time to enroll and a link. Click on that link, and then follow the steps to learn more about your benefits and complete your enrollment.

See next page for enrollment instructions.

Alcoa self-insures our medical, prescription drug, dental, and vision coverage, and has contracted with best-in-class claims administrators to administer benefits and pay claims. See page 16 for the names, phone numbers, and websites of these administrators. This information will also be noted on the identification cards that you will receive after enrolling in coverage.

MASTER HEALTH CARE PLAN BENEFITS 17

Save with Flexible Spending Accounts

You can elect two types of flexible spending accounts (FSAs)—the Health Care Fund and the Dependent (Day) Care Fund. These accounts help you save because your contributions are made with pre-tax dollars. You make pre-tax payroll contributions to one or both funds throughout the year, then when you incur eligible expenses, you are reimbursed from your account.

Health Care Fund

The Health Care Fund can be used for a variety of out-of-pocket medical, prescription drug, dental, and vision expenses—for you and your eligible family members—that are not covered by any other benefit plan. The Health Care Fund allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible health care expenses for you and your family. You may contribute $100 to $2,500 per year.

Dependent (Day) Care Fund

The Dependent Day Care Fund can be used to cover the cost of care for your dependent children under age 13 or adult day care while you (and your spouse if you are married) work or attend school full time.

The Dependent Day Care Fund allows you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible child day care and adult day care expenses. You may contribute $100 to $5,000 per year (maximum is $2,500 per year if you and your spouse file separate tax returns). If you and your spouse both have access to a dependent care spending account, your combined contributions are limited to $5,000 per year.

IMpORTANT: According to IRS rules, you must spend any money in your flexible spending account in 2014. You have until March 31, 2015, to submit your 2014 claims.

How Can an FSA Save Money for You?

In addition to using a Health Care Fund to pay for deductibles and coinsurance, Alcoa employees tell us that they use their fund to buy these items:

• Braces for my teenager

• Contact lenses and solution

• Eyeglasses

Here are Some Uses for the Dependent Day Care Fund:

• Babysitting for my daughter while I work

• Day care for my elderly parent

Eligible Expenses

The spending accounts can be used only for reimbursement of expenses approved by the IRS. For a list of eligible expenses, go to the Your Benefits Resources™ website.

NOTE: The Dependent Day Care Fund can be used to pay for child care or elder care only and cannot be used to pay for a dependent’s health care expenses.

Did You Know?The flexible spending accounts

can save you tax dollars!

For example, if you pay 15% of your wages in taxes, by using pre-tax money in your Health Care Fund,

you have 15% more to spend on your health care expenses.

10 RETIREE V1b Pre-Medicare

Prescription Drug PlanPre-Medicare and Medicare-eligible retirees have the same prescription drug coverage.

There’s only one prescription drug plan, which is automatic with any of the medical options.

There are three coverage categories in the drug plan:

Generic Drugs

• No deductible

• Free when you fill through the mail order program

• At retail, you’ll typically never pay more than 10%

Brand 80/20 Drugs

• Brand-name prescription drugs with no or limited generic alternatives to treat your condition

• Brand-name drugs that treat asthma or diabetes

• No deductible

• Plan pays 80% of the cost and you pay 20%

Brand 50/50 Drugs

• Brand-name prescription drugs with appropriate generic alternatives

• $50/$100 (individual/family) deductible, combined for retail and mail

• Plan pays 50% of the cost and you pay 50%

Your Out-of-Pocket Costs

• The deductible is combined for retail pharmacy and mail delivery. It applies only to Brand 50/50 drugs. The deductible is $50 for an individual and $100 for a family.

• If you choose a brand-name drug when a generic equivalent is available, the Plan pays only the cost that would apply if you chose the generic drug. You pay the generic coinsurance plus the difference in cost between the brand-name and the generic drug.

• If your doctor believes that a brand-name medicine is medically necessary, he or she can provide clinical reasons to the CVS Caremark Prior Authorization Department. If the brand-name drug is approved, you’ll pay the brand-name drug deductible and/or coinsurance as applicable.

• If you fill your prescription for a maintenance medication more than three times at a retail pharmacy other than CVS, you’ll pay 10% extra. Avoid the extra costs by using the Maintenance Choice Program.

• The maximum coinsurance you’ll pay per fill is $100 at a retail pharmacy or $200 if you use mail order. This maximum applies to the coinsurance but does not apply to any extra costs if you choose a brand-name drug over a generic or purchase a maintenance drug at a retail pharmacy other than CVS instead of through mail order.


Your Prescription Drug Out-of-Pocket Maximum Under the Basic, Comprehensive, HRA, and Network Not Available Options

The Basic, Comprehensive, HRA, and Network Not Available medical options have separate out-of-pocket maximums for medical and prescription drug expenses.

The prescription drug out-of-pocket maximum limits the amount you pay each year for covered prescription drug expenses. When your share of covered drug expenses (including your deductible and coinsurance amounts) reaches the prescription drug out-of-pocket maximum, the Plan pays 100% of your covered prescription drug expenses for the rest of the calendar year. There are separate individual and family out-of-pocket maximums for prescription drugs as shown in the following table.

Prescription Drug Out-of-Pocket Maximum Options

Basic,Comprehensive,

and HRA

Network NotAvailable

Individual $3,000 $1,600

Family $6,000 $3,200

The prescription drug out-of-pocket maximum for a family can be met when covered drugs are used by multiple covered family members, even when no single family member meets the per-person maximum. Also, when two or more family members meet their prescription drug out-of-pocket maximum for covered drugs, there is no need for the remaining covered persons in the family to meet the individual out-of-pocket maximum

The prescription drug out-of-pocket maximum does not apply to:

• Expenses covered under the medical, dental, or vision plans

• Any amounts that do not apply to the Maximum Coinsurance Amount

• Drugs purchased at out-of-network pharmacies

• Expenses not covered under the Plan

Prescription Drug Out-of-Pocket Maximum Under the HSA Medical Option

If you are enrolled in the HSA medical option, you must meet the integrated medical and prescription drug out-of-pocket maximum before the Plan starts to pay 100% for covered medical and drug expenses. Any prescription drug expenses that you incur apply to the HSA out-of-pocket maximum.

You have three ways to purchase covered prescription drugs:

• At a participating CVS Caremark retail pharmacy, including most chain and many local pharmacies. Your deductible applies, and you pay the coinsurance for up to a 30-day supply.

• Through the CVS Caremark mail-order service for long-term medications or any prescriptions not needed immediately. No deductible applies, and you pay the coinsurance for up to a 90-day supply.

• Using the Maintenance Choice Program, which allows you to pick up your 90-day supply at a CVS pharmacy and receive the mail-order level of benefits.

What is ARCEL resin?

ARCEL advanced foam resin is a sustainable foam packaging

solution for high-end products that reduces packaging size

while maintaining protective properties found in traditional foam

packaging. In comparison to traditional foam packaging, ARCEL

resin reduces package size by as much as 40%, resulting in a

positive domino effect that cuts energy consumed in the

manufacturing of packaging, lowers fuel consumption and

emissions throughout the supply chain, and reduces the waste

stream for both foam and corrugate. In addition, ARCEL resin not

only reduces actual shipping damage, but also the false perception

of damage that can occur when customers receive broken

packaging. Its resilient structure resists cracking and flaking,

and protects goods through multiple drops. With ARCEL resin,

customers will focus on the product—not the package.

Multiple lives

Members of the Alliance of Foam Packaging

Recyclers in North America are capable of

recycling used ARCEL resin, which can be

recycled in three different ways...

Today, ARCEL advanced foam resin

and other expandable polystyrene

packaging foams are being recycled

by SPI as resin identification code #6.

Recycled ARCEL resin is currently

being used to produce a variety of

products, including for example:

protective packaging; desk equipment;

wood-alternative products; trays;

containers; displays; and toys.

By recycling ARCEL resin, producers

help minimize the consumption

of natural resources, as their

Environmental benefits of choosing ARCEL resin

ARCEL advanced foam resin can help you achieve your

sustainability goals by:

Reducing Packaging Size

ARCEL resin can significantly reduce packaging size, which leads

to additional source reduction in corrugate and adhesive tape.

Reducing Fuel and Energy Consumption

Because of its reduced packaging size, ARCEL resin immediately increases the capacity

of every container, truckload and pallet, resulting in less trucks on the road and less fuel

emissions.

Being Recycled

ARCEL resin is recognized by SPI as resin identification code #6, which enables ARCEL resin

to have multiple lives.
