1. The individual mandate under the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act (“ACA”) generally requires individuals to maintain “minimum essential
coverage” in 2014 and beyond, or be subject to payment of an annual “shared responsibility payment”, the amount of which is based, in part, upon
the individual’s household income each year. The ACA’s “shared responsibility payment” has also been referred to from time to time as a tax and as
a penalty, and is payable to the federal government. Specified Disease and Accident plans are exempt from the coverage and rating mandates of
the ACA, do not provide comprehensive or major medical benefits, and therefore are not considered “minimum essential coverage” under the ACA.
If an individual (a) does not receive an ACA exemption annually from the federal government for the individual mandate, or (b) does not maintain
“minimum essential coverage” under the ACA for 9 or more consecutive months during each year, (including coverage under one of the following
types of plans (i) an employer sponsored group health plan, (ii) a grandfathered health plan, (iii) a non-grandfathered health plan for which the
government has granted a waiver of the individual mandate, or (iv) an ACA essential health benefits plan), he will be subject to the ACA’s annual
“shared responsibility payment”, even if covered under one of the PremierChoice plans. For additional information on the individual mandate,

PremierChoice Specified Disease Sickness (“Sickness”) and the Optional
Guaranteed Short-Term Insurability Rider provides You with a one-
time right to purchase Our PremierMed Short Term Medical-Surgical
Expense plan on a guaranteed issued basis, without regard to the
Insured’s health status or medical conditions, and without any medical
underwriting coverage.
• The Premier Choice Sickness and Accident plans pay in addition to any
coverage You have in force - even an essential health benefits plan.
• First Dollar Benefits! The Premier Choice Sickness and Accident plans
allow You to receive first dollar payments for expenses incurred up to a
benefit maximum for covered healthcare services. And with the special
doctor office visit “rollover” feature in each Sickness plan, if You don’t
use Your benefits, You don’t lose them.
• No Calendar Year Deductible to Satisfy! PremierChoice Sickness and
Accident plans supplement an essential health benefits plan under which
You must first satisfy a deductible every year before You are eligible to
receive benefit payments.
• The PremierChoice Sickness plans and Accident plans are insurance
plans which provide benefits on an expense incurred basis up to a
maximum daily/monthly/visit/prescription/annual amount for covered
services and are neither “essential health benefits plans” under the ACA,
traditional major medical insurance plans, nor Workers compensation
plans under state law. PremierChoice Sickness plans and Accident plans
are “excepted benefit plans” under the ACA, and are not considered
“minimum essential coverage”.
May not be available in all states. Exclusions & limitations apply. Different plan provisions may apply in certain
states. See your brochure for a brief description of Benefits available.
