HEALTH BENEFITS

Sun provides health benefits to eligible employees and their eligible dependents, which includes spouse or domestic partner and children and/or the children of a domestic partner.

Choose from several health care options:

• Aetna Health Fund - a Consumer Driven Health Plan with a Health Reimbursement Account. This is a Point of Service plan which offers in-network and out-of-network coverage.
  
  
• UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus - This is a preferred provider organization to employees who live outside of California, which offers in-network and out-of-network coverage.
  
  
• Blue Cross PPO - This is a preferred provider organization available to employees in California, which offers in-network and out-of-network coverage.
  
  
• Out-of-Area Option - This option is offered in areas where the UnitedHealthcare Choice Plus or Blue Cross PPO is not available.
  
  
• HMO options - Kaiser Permanente in CA and CO, and Tufts Health Plan in MA.
  
  

• Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) - The HRA is an account for each enrolled employee to use toward eligible medical expenses that are covered by the plan, including the calendar year deductible. Sun funds this account with a set dollar amount each year. When you or an eligible dependent incur a covered medical or prescription drug expense and you haven't met the calendar year deductible yet, your HRA pays the full amount of the covered expense up to the amount available in your account.
  
  
• Deductible - The calendar year deductible is the amount you must pay before the medical plan coverage pays any benefits. When all of your HRA funds have been used to pay for covered expenses, you are then responsible for the balance of your deductible that was not covered by the HRA. Preventive care services as well as prescription drugs that Aetna considers "Chronic" and "Preventive," do not reduce the HRA or apply to the deductible. These expenses are automatically covered under the medical plan.
  
  
• Medical Plan - Once you use up the money in your HRA and you have met the deductible, eligible expenses are covered under the medical plan. You are responsible for any applicable coinsurance and out-of-pocket expenses not covered by the plan. Because the plan promotes wellness, preventive care services have no calendar year maximum and are not subject to the deductible.
  
  

*Office Visits (including preventive care) and x-ray/laboratory services related to preventive care are not subject to the deductible.
