Important Information
Enrollment at a Glance
Health Trust provided you transition as an active employee
into retirement. You will have 30 days from your separation
date to make or change your election.
In addition to this 2016 New Retiree Participants Reference
Guide you have been provided an enrollment form.
• Complete and return your enrollment form. When
completing the enrollment form, please be sure to note all
benefits you would like to continue into retirement. Your
enrollment form must be submitted at least two weeks
prior to your retirement date.
• Please remember when electing your retiree benefits:
After retiring you may not increase your coverage
elections, you may only cancel coverage. You may not add
coverage, add dependent coverage or increase coverage.
• For all of your eligible dependents, please record their
Social Security number(s) and date(s) of birth on your
enrollment form.
Please direct all questions or comments to Customer Care at
855-56JHS4U (855-565-4748), Monday – Friday, 7 a.m.
– 7p.m. ET.
If you do not take a distribution and decide to defer your
retirement, you will not be considered retired and may
not be entitled to continue your JHS-sponsored health
insurance coverage.
Election Process
To summarize, continuation of coverage is not automatic.
Your employee group coverage is cancelled the last day
of the pay period in which the separation of employment
date falls and for which the employee experiences a regular
insurance deduction or made direct payments to JHS (if on
an unpaid leave of absence).
Coverage under the Retiree Group will not be activated until
the first retiree premium is received. The insurance carriers
will be notified to reinstate your coverage under the Retiree
Group upon receipt of your initial premium payment.
The Benefit Options Available are:

To continue your medical, dental/vision, and basic life
insurance coverage, complete the correct retiree enrollment
form (either under age 65 or 65 and over, based on eligibility)
and submit it within 30 days of your separation date.
Coverage for your eligible dependent(s) may be continued
under the Retiree Group, but only if the dependent was
enrolled immediately prior to your separation date. To
assure a smooth transition, especially if you have scheduled
ongoing treatment or need prescriptions filled, submit the
enrollment form and initial premium within 10 days of your
separation date. Once the initial retiree premium is received,
medical, dental/vision, and/or life insurance (if elected)
become effective retroactive to the date your coverage
as an active employee expired (without a gap), assuming
premiums were paid through that date. Your enrollment form
must be received by FBMC no later than 30 days following
your separation date, otherwise you forfeit Retiree Group
coverage. If the Retiree Group election period lapses, you
may still exercise your rights under COBRA; please refer to
the COBRA section in this handbook.

Choosing the Right Enrollment Form —
Under age 65 or 65 and Over
The New Retiree Reference Guide explains your available
benefits in separate sections based on whether you are under
65 or 65 and over, including any eligible dependents. The
benefits (except life insurance) for 65 and over also apply
if you and/or your eligible dependent are under 65, but
Medicare eligible.
If you wish to elect Retiree coverage please complete and
return the correct enrollment form:
• Under 65 and/or not Medicare A and B eligible
• 65 and Over and/or Medicare Eligible
Please note: you may not elect continuation of medical
coverage under COBRA if you are entitled/enrolled in
Medicare Part A & B.
You are eligible to continue coverage under the Retiree
Group if you retire from Jackson Health System/Public

2016 Jackson Health System
Important Information
Leave of Absence
Optional Life Insurance
The same election process applies to employees on leave
of absence (or no-pay status) who terminate Jackson Health
System employment without physically returning to work.
Group insurance coverage will end as of the last day of the
pay period in which the separation of employment date
falls, assuming premiums were paid through that date. If
coverage is cancelled for non-payment of premiums, while
on leave status, you will not have the opportunity to continue
coverage under the Retiree Group or COBRA.
Optional life coverage is not available through the Retiree
Group. If enrolled at the time of your retirement, you may
elect to convert this coverage to an individual policy. The
policy is available to you without medical approval, but will
be provided by Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company at
their prevailing individual insurance rates. You may convert
up to the amount of coverage in force at retirement. Contact
the insurance carrier to obtain rates and policy options.
Reliance Standard Life Insurance Company
1-800-866-2301
Coverage Available
Basic Life Insurance for Retirees Under Age 65
JHS doesn’t contribute the employer portion on your behalf;
consequently, you will pay the full monthly premium cost.
Your dependent spouse or domestic partner (DP) and/or
children including the children of a DP, currently covered
under your medical and/or dental/vision plan as of the date
you retire, may continue under your coverage at retirement.
The group basic life insurance coverage provided to active
employees at no cost may be continued at retirement, at
your expense. The coverage amount for retirees under age
65 is equivalent to their pre-retirement annual base salary.
As long as the coverage was in force prior to retirement, the
benefit may be continued.
Changing Health Plans
Remember to ensure that your beneficiary designations
are current. A new beneficiary may be named at any
time. To update your beneficiary call the FBMC Service
Center at 855-56JHS4U (855-565-4748) and request
a life insurance beneficiary update form. Make sure your
beneficiary designation form is legible and contains no
erasures or cross-out marks. Specify the percentage of
benefits for each named beneficiary to receive. The total
percent allocation among the beneficiaries must add up to
100 percent. Please be sure your beneficiary is aware of the
benefit and knows how to contact our office in the event
of your death.
At the time of retirement and within 30 days of your
separation date, you will have a one-time opportunity to
change plans or enroll in the retiree insurance plan offered
that you previously declined. Once you submit your election
form, you cannot change plans until the annual retiree
open enrollment period, unless you move out of the plan’s
geographic service area.
Electing Health Coverage Under Your
Spouse/DP ’s Plan
If your spouse/DP is a JHS employee, you have the option
of enrolling as a dependent under your spouse/DP’s JHS
medical and/or dental/vision plan. Your spouse/DP must
submit the Change in Status forms (CIS) within 30 days
of your separation date. For the necessary forms visit the
FBMC Service Center at 1611 N.W. 12th Ave., Park Plaza
West L-109B Miami, FL 33136-1096. You can transfer your
medical/dental/vision coverage to the Retiree Group at a
later date as a CIS, as long as you have been continuously
covered under a JHS-sponsored medical/dental/vision plan
without a break, since your retirement.
Important Note: Continuation of basic life insurance cannot
be postponed. You must elect the coverage at retirement
otherwise you forfeit the coverage.

Important Information
Basic Life Insurance for Retirees Age 65+
COBRA
Retirees age 65+ may elect either $15,000 or $20,000 of
life insurance coverage.
Federal law (COBRA) provides that insured employees and
their covered dependents may elect to continue group health
coverage for up to 18 months from the date employment
terminates or until the employee is covered under another
group plan, whichever comes first. We are required by law
to notify you of your COBRA rights, and as a result, you
will receive a COBRA mailing in addition to information
regarding Retiree Group coverage. You can only maintain
COBRA coverage for a limited time, whereas you may
continue health and basic life coverage indefinitely under
the Retiree Group.
Remember to maintain your beneficiary designation
current. A new beneficiary may be named at any time. To
update your beneficiary call the FBMC Customer Service
Center at 855-56JHS4U (855-565-4748) and request
a Life Insurance Beneficiary Update Form. Make sure
your beneficiary designation form is legible and contains
no erasures or cross-out marks. Specify the percentage of
benefits for each named beneficiary to receive. The total
percent allocation among the beneficiaries must add up to
100 percent. Please be sure your beneficiary is aware of the
benefit and knows how to contact our office in the event
of your death.
You may elect continuation of medical/dental/vision
coverage under COBRA instead of participating under the
Retiree Group. The choice is yours to make. However, the
election period for the Retiree Group coverage expires 30
days from your separation date. The COBRA election period
expires 60 days from the date benefits terminate under the
active group. You have 45 days from your COBRA election
date to pay the first premium. Your life insurance coverage
may be converted directly with Reliance Standard Life
Insurance Company, at their prevailing rates.
PayFlex will mail the COBRA information packets directly
to the retiree’s home address, usually within 14 days from
the date your final check is processed. Group medical,
dental/vision, and basic/optional life insurance coverage (if
enrolled) cease the last day of the pay period in which the
retirement date falls and for which the employee experiences
a regular insurance deduction or made direct payments to
PayFlex (if on an unpaid leave of absence). Contact a COBRA
Specialist at 305-585-6512 for information regarding
COBRA.
Please note: you may not elect continuation of medical
coverage under COBRA if you are entitled/enrolled in
Medicare Part A & B.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How will I be billed for Retiree Group
coverage?
A. Upon applying for retirement, you must submit a Retiree
Form and submit it to FBMC with your enrollment form,
or with your first premium payment. Deductions begin
approximately 60 days thereafter. You are responsible for
sending your check payments directly to FBMC Benefits
Management, Inc., Direct Bill, P.O. Box 10789, Tallahassee,
FL 32302-2789, until deductions begin. Insurance premiums
are deducted from your pension benefit in advance, to pay
for the upcoming month’s insurance coverage. The insurance
deductions will be reflected on your check stub or statement.
Insurance Election form within 30 days of your separation
date. FBMC will mail you a Billing Statement. This billing
statement will include a monthly premium breakdown for
the calendar year. You will be responsible for paying your
insurance premiums through the current billing month.
Your coverage is not reinstated under the Retiree Group
until receipt of your initial premium payment. Thereafter,
premiums are due on the first of each month. For that reason,
we recommend that you budget for approximately three
months of insurance premiums, since your first pension
check may not arrive for approximately 60 days from the
date of retirement. If you and/or your covered dependent
turn 65, subsequent to your retirement, there will be a
change in your premium due to Medicare and/or life
insurance coverage. If a medical plan election is required
you will receive information from us approximately three
months prior to your or your spouse/DP’s 65th birthday. No
election is required if you don’t have medical coverage;
you will be sent a new billing calendar prior to the month
your premium changes. When you turn 70 or 75, your life
insurance premium will be adjusted if you are maintaining
this coverage. You will receive a new billing calendar prior
to the month your premium changes.
Q. What is the Health Insurance Subsidy?
A. Eligible retirees receive $5 per month for each year of
service credit earned at retirement. The subsidy is at least
$30per month, but no more than $150 per month. It is
intended to help offset the cost of your health insurance
coverage.
The Florida Retirement System mails you a form to
enroll for the subsidy. If you have elected to continue
medical coverage under the Retiree Group, you may
forward your subsidy application, after completing
Part I, to the Retirement Coordinator. We will verify
coverage and forward your completed form to the Division
of Retirement. The subsidy will not appear on your pension
check until approximately 60 days from the date the Division
of Retirement receives it. You may contact the Division of
Retirement at 844-377-1888 for any subsidy questions, or
write to:

Q. How do I pay for my insurance?
A. You may pay your monthly premium by check, money

years, health insurance subsidy. The subsidy is considered
and included when the retirement benefit is calculated. The
subsidy is a minimum of $30 per month, but not to exceed
more than $150 per month. It is intended to offset the cost
of your health insurance.
For employees retiring from both FRS & PHT, the subsidy
will not exceed $150.00 per month total between the two
retirement plans.
Note: Coverage cannot be verified if the account is not
current.

2016 Important Notice to Medicare Eligible Retirees
Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare
When can you join a medicare drug plan?
Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you
can find it. This notice has information about your current
prescription drug coverage with Jackson Health System
and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug
coverage. This information can help you decide whether
or not you want to join a Medicare drug plan. Information
about where you can get help to make decisions about your
prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice.
You can join a Medicare drug plan when you first become
eligible for Medicare from November 15th through
December 31st, 2016. However, if you decide to drop
your current Jackson Health System medical coverage for
Medicare eligible retirees, since it is employer sponsored
group coverage, you will be eligible for a two-month Special
Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare drug plan. Be
aware that you may be subject to a higher premium (a
penalty) because you did not have creditable coverage.
There are three important things you need
to know about your current coverage and
Medicare’s prescription drug coverage:
Note: if you are currently enrolled in either the POS or HMO
Plans (which have creditable prescription drug coverage) and
become Medicare eligible, since you are losing creditable
prescription drug coverage you are also eligible for a twomonth Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to join a Medicare
drug plan.
1.Medicare prescription drug coverage became available
in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this
coverage if you join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan
or join a Medicare Advantage Plan (like an HMO or PPO)
that offers prescription drug coverage.
All Medicare drug plans provide at least a standard level
of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer
more coverage for a higher monthly premium.
2.Jackson Health System has determined that the prescription
drug coverage offered by the Jackson Health System Plans
for Medicare eligible retirees (and Medicare eligible
dependents), is, on average for all plan participants,
NOT expected to pay out as much as standard Medicare
prescription drug coverage pays and is considered NonCreditable Coverage.
This is important, because most likely, you will get more
help with your drug costs if you join a Medicare drug plan,
than if you only have prescription drug coverage through
the Jackson Health System medical plan.
3.You can keep your current coverage from Jackson
Health System. However, because your coverage is noncreditable, you have decisions to make about Medicare
prescription drug coverage that may affect how much you
pay for that coverage, depending on if and when you join
a drug plan. When you make your decision, you should
compare your current coverage, including what drugs are
covered, with the coverage and cost of the plans offering
Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Read
this notice carefully - it explains your options.
www.JacksonBenefits.org
Since coverage under the Jackson Health System Plans
for Medicare eligible retirees is not creditable, depending
on how long you go without creditable prescription drug
coverage, you may pay a penalty to join a Medicare drug
plan. Starting with the end of the last month that you were
first eligible to join a Medicare drug plan but didn’t join,
if you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable
prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go
up by at least one percent of the Medicare base beneficiary
premium per month, for every month that you did not have
that coverage. For example, if you go 19 months without
creditable coverage, your premium may be at least 19
percent more than the Medicare base beneficiary premium.
You may have to pay this higher premium (penalty) as long as
you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition,
you may have to wait until the following November to join.
12
2016 Important Notice to Medicare Eligible Retirees
Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare
What happens to your current coverage if
you decide to join a medicare drug plan?
For more information about your options
under Medicare prescription drug
coverage...
If you (or your dependent) do decide to join a Medicare drug
plan and drop your current health plan for Medicare eligible
retirees, be aware that you (or your dependent whichever
is applicable) will not be able to get Jackson Health System
coverage back. However, if you join a Medicare drug plan
when you first become Medicare eligible, you can select the
certain eligible plans for Medicare eligible retirees (medical
plan without prescription drug coverage), and continue to
receive coverage for other medical services through Jackson
Health System.
More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer
prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare & You”
handbook. You’ll get a copy of the handbook in the mail
every year from Medicare.
You may also be contacted directly by Medicare drug plans.

coverage:

the inside back cover of your copy of the “Medicare & You”
handbook for their telephone number) for personalized

• Call 1-800-MEDICARE (800-633-4227). TTY users should

Pet Assure Program
Pet Assure is a post-tax discount program that enables
members to receive discounts on all medical services
provided by network veterinarians.
Monthly Premium:
$7.00
Membership must be for a term of no less than three months.
Note: Monthly premium may be deducted from FRS/PHT Pension Check.
You will save hundreds on your pets’ medical care for only $7 per month. Pet Assure is the nation’s oldest and largest
veterinary discount plan and has been saving pet caretakers
money on pet expenses since 1995.
Using Your Pet Assure Membership is Simple!
Here’s How
Simply present your Pet Assure membership card to any
participating provider when paying for services and receive
instant savings with no paperwork, no deductibles and no
hidden fees. Pet Assure is not insurance, so the veterinarian
applies the discount directly to your bill and you don’t have
to wait for reimbursements or fill out time-consuming claim
forms.
Here’s what your membership includes:
• 25 percent off all medical services each and every time
you visit a network veterinarian. With Pet Assure, you’ll
receive your discount right at the vet’s office. This plan
is not insurance so there are no hassles, no claim forms
and no deductibles. Savings are instant! (See page 23.)
• Any type of pet with absolutely no exclusions can
receive the discounts. There are no exclusions based on
type, breed, age, past medical history, or pre-existing
conditions. Do you have one dog, five cats, a lazy iguana
and a donkey? One Pet Assure membership covers them
all.
• 5 – 35 percent off on pet products and specialty items at
over 1,000 participating national pet product retailers!
(See page 23.)
• 10 – 35 percent savings on pet services, such as boarding,
grooming, training, pet day care, etc. (See page 23.)
• 24/7 Pet Assure Locator Service (PALS). Don’t worry
about your pet getting lost anymore! Every pet that joins
gets enrolled in Pet Assure’s 24/7 Lost Pet Recovery
Service. (See page 23.)
There are dozens of network providers in Miami and the
surrounding areas. For a complete list of participating

FBMC Privacy Statement
This statement applies to products administered by
FBMC Benefits Management, Inc. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, including VISTA Management Company
(collectively “FBMC”). FBMC takes your privacy very
seriously. As a provider of products and services that involve
compiling personal-and sometimes, sensitive-information,
protecting the confidentiality of that information has been,
and will continue to be, a top priority of FBMC. This Privacy
Statement explains how FBMC handles and protects the
personal information we collect. Please note that the
information we collect and the extent to which we use it will
vary depending on the product or service involved. In many
cases, we may not collect all of the types of information
noted below. Note this Privacy Statement is not meant to be a
Privacy Notice as defined by the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act (HIPAA), as amended.
Health Insurance benefits will be provided not by your
Employer’s Flexible Benefits Plan, but by the Health
Insurance Plan(s). The types and amounts of health insurance
benefits available under the Health Insurance Plan(s), the
requirements for participating in the Health Insurance Plan(s)
and the other terms and conditions of coverage and benefits
of the Health Insurance Plan(s) are set forth from time to
time in the Health Insurance Plan(s). All claims to receive
benefits under the Health Insurance Plan(s) shall be subject
to and governed by the terms and conditions of the Health
Insurance Plan(s) and the rules, regulations, policies and

Notice of Administrator’s Capacity
This notice advises insured persons of the identity and
relationship among the contract administrator, the
policyholder and the insurer:
FBMC’s privacy statement is as follows:
I. We collect only the customer information necessary to
consistently deliver responsive services.
FBMC collects information that helps serve your needs,
provide high standards of customer service, and fulfill
legal and regulatory requirements. The sources and types
of information collected generally vary depending on the
products or services you request and may include:
• Information provided on enrollment and related forms - for
example, name, age, address, Social Security number, e-mail
address, annual income, health history, marital status, and
spousal and beneficiary information.
• Responses from you and others such as information relating
to your employment and insurance coverage.
• Information about your relationships with us, such as
products and services purchased, transaction history, claims
history, and premiums.
• Information from hospitals, doctors, laboratories and other
companies about your health condition, used to process
claims and prevent fraud.
1. Contract Administrator. FBMC Benefits Management
(FBMC) has been authorized by your employer to provide
administrative services for your employer’s insurance plans
offered within your benefit program. In some instances,
FBMC may also be authorized by one or more of the
insurance companies underwriting the benefits to provide
certain services, including, but not limited to: marketing;
billing and collection of premiums; and processing insurance
claims payments. FBMC is not the policyholder or the
insurer.
2. Policyholder. This is the entity to whom the insurance
policy has been issued; the employer is the policy holder
for group insurance products and the employee is the
policyholder for individual products. The policyholder is
identified on either the face page or schedule page of the
policy or certificate.
3. Insurer. The insurance companies noted herein have been
selected by your employer, and are liable for the funds to
pay your insurance claims.
If FBMC is authorized to process claims for the insurance
company, we will do so promptly. In the event there are
delays in claims processing, you will have no greater rights
to interest or other remedies against FBMC than would
otherwise be afforded to you by law. FBMC is not an
insurance company.

II. Under Federal Law you have certain rights with respect
to your protected health information.
Under section 112.0801, Florida Statutes, your employer is
required to offer you or your eligible dependents the option
of continued participation in any employer-sponsored group
insurance plans in which you were participating at your
retirement or at your DROP termination date.
You have rights to see and copy the information, receive an
accounting of certain disclosures of the information and,
under certain circumstances, amend the information. You
also have the right to file a complaint with your Employer
or with the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services if you believe your privacy rights have
been violated.
As a retiree, your premium cost for health and hospitalization
insurance coverage may not exceed the total employee and
employer premium cost applicable to active employees.
You may lose your eligibility to participate if you choose
not to continue participating in your employer’s group plan
at retirement, initially choose to continue but subsequently
stop participating, defer your retirement to a future date,
or otherwise do not meet your employer’s group plan
requirements. Before you terminate employment, contact
your employer about continuing your employer-sponsored
group insurance coverage. The division has no authority
over or responsibility for employer group health and
hospitalization plans.
III. We maintain safeguards to ensure information security.
We are committed to preventing unauthorized access to
personal information.
We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards
for protecting personal information. We restrict access
to personal information to those employees, insurance
companies, and service providers who need to know that

information.

We do not sell lists of our customers, and under no
circumstances do we share personal health information for
marketing purposes. With the following exceptions, we will
not disclose your personal information without your written
authorization. We may share your personal information
with insurance companies with whom you are applying
for coverage, or to whom you are submitting a claim. We
will share personal information of VISTA 401(k) participants
with the plan’s recordkeeper. We also may disclose personal
information as permitted or required by law or regulation.

an inquiry by a government agency or regulator, in response
to a subpoena, or to prevent fraud. If you no longer have
a customer relationship with us, we will still treat your
information under our Privacy Policy, the words “you” and
“customer” are used to mean any individual who obtains
or has obtained an insurance, financial product or service
from FBMC that is to be used primarily for personal or family
purposes.
