BENEFITS SPOTLIGHT MAKING THE MOST OF YOUR BENEFITS EXPERIENCE Vol. 1, Issue 2 October 2015 2016 Benefits Open Enrollment: October 26 – November 10, 2015 This issue of Benefits Spotlight focuses on Open Enrollment. This is the time you get each year to enroll in, or make changes to, your medical, dental and vision benefits from Engility. You may also elect to participate in accident and critical illness insurance, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), pet insurance and more. It is very important that you actively elect the benefits you want during this year’s Open Enrollment period. If you don’t, you may not have the coverage you need in 2016. Many of the plans that were offered under the separate TASC and Engility benefits programs are being discontinued or changed effective January 1, 2016. Before making your elections, be sure to learn about all of the options available to you. You can find all the details, including Summaries of Benefits and Coverage, our 2016 Benefits Highlights Guide, Frequently Asked Questions and more, on our benefits website, www.Engilitycorp.com/benefits. If you have questions or need help completing your enrollment, contact the Engility Benefits Service Center at 1-877-248-8519. Representatives are available from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Eastern time, Monday through Friday. Did You Know? If you enroll in one of the Engility UHC medical options for 2016, you will have access to Teladoc. Teladoc provides a national network of U.S. boardcertified doctors available 24/7/365 to resolve many of your medical issues. As an Engility medical plan member, you will be able to access Teladoc any time you can’t get to your regular doctor — when traveling, after hours or when you’re at work. The cost is never more than a doctor’s office visit.

Now there is someone you can ask! Health Advocate is a confidential service that is designed to help you solve problems and find solutions for your health care and health insurance needs. During Open Enrollment, all eligible employees may use Health Advocate for help deciding which plan will best suit their needs. When you call Health Advocate, you will talk to a trained professional (typically a registered nurse) who can help you understand the health plans available to you and how they are different, and compare costs among all three plans. Best of all, there’s no cost to you for using this service. Engility pays the entire cost. To reach Health Advocate call 1-866-695-8622 or log on to www.healthadvocate.com/ members. 2 What Happens If You Do Nothing Medical Benefits It is very important to select the medical plan you want for 2016 because all of the plans being offered are different from those available through the separate TASC and Engility programs in 2015. If you don’t make a new medical plan election during the Open Enrollment period, you will receive the default coverage listed below. If the medical plan you have today is… Your default medical coverage effective January 1, 2016 will be… Aetna Bronze HRA Plan CDHP Standard Anthem Bronze HRA Plan UHC CDHP Basic Plan Aetna Silver HRA Plan CDHP Premium Anthem Silver HRA Plan UHC CDHP Plus Plan Any Kaiser Permanente CDHP CDHP Premium Plus Aetna Gold POS Plan Anthem Gold PPO Plan Kaiser HMO Hawaii HMSA PPO Hawaii HMSA HMO Hawaii HMSA HMO Hawaii HMSA PPO Hawaii HMSA PPO Hawaii TRICARE Supplement Plan TRICARE Supplement Plan UHC Global or Aetna International Aetna International Medical Plan No medical coverage Waive coverage To learn more about these and other benefits Engility makes available to you, visit www.Engilitycorp.com/benefits, our new benefits website. Important Legacy Engility emloyees need to set up new beneficiaries as their 2015 beneficiaries will not carry over into 2016. Legacy TASC employees should review and update their beneficiary designations, if needed. A Word About ID Cards All employees enrolled for 2016 medical coverage will receive new ID cards from UHC. Your ID card will have a new Member ID, Group Number and customer service number. The new ID cards are scheduled to mail in midDecember. You should begin using your new ID card as of January 1, 2016. If you do not receive your ID card, please call UHC at 1-844-859-5008 to request a copy. Please Note: If you are a Legacy TASC employee who has coverage with UHC in 2015, you will need to re-register on myuhc.com using your new Member ID and Group Number (see above) to access your benefit coverage and claims information starting January 1, 2016. (You must retain your current user ID and password to see any benefit coverage and claims information on myuhc.com for the TASC group policy prior to December 31, 2015). Other Benefits As outlined in the following chart, other benefits you have now may or may not carry over to 2016 at the 2016 per-pay contribution rates. For example, if you have family dental coverage today through the separate TASC or Engility plans and don’t make a new election during Open Enrollment, you will have family dental coverage with MetLife effective January 1, 2016. Other benefits, however, require a new election. Plan/Benefit If the coverage you have today is….

On their pre-member website: http://welcometouhc.com/engility, there are links to several useful tools: • You can find out if your doctor or facility is in network with their “Find Your Doctor” tool. • You can estimate your costs for the year using the “Plan Cost Estimator” tool. This can help you determine which plan is best for you. • You can review the appropriate “Preventive Care Guidelines” based on age and gender (under online tools and resources). 3 Important! Finally, it’s important to know that if you participated in a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) for 2015 and have funds remaining in your account(s) on December 31, 2015, those amounts will carry over and be available for you to use next year. The specific rules for transitioning any balances at the end of the year are based on the type of account—FSA, HRA or HSA—and whether or not you will be covered under one of the CDHPs in 2016.
