Welcome!
Dear Maxim Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals,
At Maxim, we strive to create success by leading and serving others. One way we recognize employees is by offering a comprehensive
benefits program. We realize that benefit needs vary from person to person, so we provide a range of plans that let you choose the level of
coverage and the combination of benefits that you want and need.
Your role is to make the right choices when you enroll during open enrollment or as a new associate, keep us updated if you experience a
life event, and to take advantage of the tools and resources we offer. This guide is intended to provide a summary of the benefits we offer
and to help you learn about the programs and resources that can help you protect the health and security of you and your family.

Who’s Eligible?
Generally, Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals with Maxim Healthcare Group, Inc. or one of our subsidiaries who meet the eligibility
criteria detailed on the next page are eligible for the benefits described in this guide. The benefits available to Travel Employees are
described in a separate guide.
• A spouse: A spouse is an individual who is recognized as the Employee’s spouse under applicable state law, excluding, however, a
common law spouse unless the individual qualifies as the employee’s Domestic Partner.
• Domestic Partners: Same-sex and opposite-sex couples who have registered with any state or local government agency authorized by
state or local law to perform such registrations. In other words, you must have filed with the authorized agency and the agency must
maintain a record of your domestic partnership.
A civil union partner is neither a spouse nor a domestic partner, unless otherwise registered with any state or local government domestic
partnership registry.
Maxim may request documentation of relationships, including marriage certificates, domestic partner registry certificates, and birth
certificates. Any requirements for proof of relationship for domestic partnerships are also applied to marriages. For example, domestic
partner registry certificates are recognized as fully equivalent to marriage certificates.
• A child who:
• Is under the age of 26 or is permanently and totally disabled (and meets the eligibility requirements described below); and
• Is related to you in one of the following ways:
• You or your spouse’s or domestic partner’s child by birth or legal adoption;
• Under testamentary or court appointed guardianship, other than temporary guardianship of less than 12 months’
duration, and who resides with, and is the dependent of you or your spouse or domestic partner;
• A child who is the subject of a Medical Child Support Order or a Qualified Medical Support Order that creates or
recognizes the right of the child to receive benefits under a parent’s health insurance coverage;
• A grandchild who is in the court-ordered custody, and who resides with, and is the dependent of you or your spouse
or domestic partner.
Children whose relationship to you is not listed above, including, but not limited to grandchildren (except as provided above), foster
children or children whose only relationship is one of legal guardianship (except as provided above) are not eligible, even though the child
may live with you and be dependent upon you for support.
Employee contributions for health care coverage are generally taken on a pre-tax basis. However, according to federal law, employee
benefit contributions for domestic partners who are not tax dependents as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, and children of domestic
partners who are not tax dependents of the employee as defined by the Internal Revenue Code cannot be provided tax-free.
If you and your spouse both work for Maxim, each family member—you, your spouse, and your eligible children—can be covered only once
for medical, dental and vision. One of you can enroll in a plan and cover all eligible children, and the other can waive coverage, or you can
both enroll. Children cannot be covered by each parent separately.

Eligibility Requirements
TIERED ELIGIBILITY STRUCTURE – HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW
To better accommodate our Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals, provide more options that meet the needs of you and your dependents,
and to continue to meet requirements under the Affordable Care Act, we have implemented a Tiered Benefit Eligibility Structure. This structure
will enable all employees that are actively employed and working at least 1 hour per calendar month look-back period, the opportunity to enroll
in medical benefits.
This page contains high level details on the Tiers. For detailed information and examples, refer to the following pages 7–8. The detailed
information will explain which Tier you are eligible for, as well as how to maintain eligibility, and when benefits will terminate.
When referencing the calendar month, we are calculating based off the hours that were worked within the look-back period. The look-back
period includes the Saturday week ending payroll dates that fall within the calendar month.
TIER 1 BENEFITS
All Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals that worked at least 1 hour, but less than 120 hours in the previous calendar month look-back
period, will be offered medical coverage under the High Deductible Bronze Plan. You must continue to work at least 1 hour per calendar month
look-back period to maintain coverage; otherwise your Medical Plan will terminate on the last day of the previous month that you worked less
than 1 hour. Example:
• Employee is enrolled in the Tier 1 Medical Plan and did not work in February.
• Hours for February would be reviewed in March.
• Benefits would terminate on February 28 due to zero hours worked in February.
• Employee would be offered continuation of coverage under COBRA.
TIER 2 BENEFITS
If Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals have worked at least 120 hours during the previous calendar month look-back period, they
will be considered full time and will be offered our full benefits package. In addition to medical, all other benefits (i.e. dental, vision, life
insurance, short term disability, hospital bridge plan, accident insurance, etc.) will be offered.
You must continue to work at least 120 hours per calendar month look-back period, otherwise your plans will terminate on the last day
of the month following the month in which you had less than 120 hours. You will be offered COBRA coverage for your Tier 2 benefits
accordingly. In addition, you will have the opportunity to enroll in the High Deductible Bronze Plan under Tier 1 if you worked at least one
hour in the previous calendar month look-back period. If you did not work one hour in the previous calendar month look-back period, then
you will not be offered Tier 1 coverage. Example:
• Employee is enrolled in Tier 2 benefits and worked 110 hours in February.
• Hours for February would be reviewed in March.
• Benefits would terminate on March 31.
• Employee would be offered continuation of coverage under COBRA, and also offered the option to elect Tier 1 coverage.

TIERED ELIGIBILITY STRUCTURE – HOW TO BECOME ELIGIBLE, REMAIN ELIGIBLE, AND WHEN BENEFITS
WILL TERMINATE
TIER 1 BENEFITS
If you have at least one hour of service, but less than 120 hours of service, during a look-back period (additional information following), you
will be offered medical coverage under the Bronze Plan. Maxim does not make an employer contribution towards this medical coverage.
This is known as “Tier 1 Coverage.”
TIER 2 BENEFITS
If you have at least 120 hours of service during a look-back period, you will be considered eligible for the full-time benefits package, and
will be eligible to enroll in that benefits package accordingly—not just medical coverage under the Bronze Plan, but also other medical
coverage options, dental and vision coverage, and all the other benefits described in this Guide. Maxim makes employer contributions
towards this medical coverage. This is known as “Tier 2 Coverage.”
2 0 2 1 C A R E G I V E R S A N D H E A LT H C A R E P R O F E S S I O N A L S B E N E F I T G U I D E 7
HOW IS ELIGIBILITY FOR TIER 2 COVERAGE DETERMINED?
You are eligible for Tier 2 Coverage if you have at least 120 hours of service in a look-back period, subject to a waiting period. The waiting
period ends on the last day of the month that follows the look-back period. If elected, Tier 2 Coverage will be effective on the first day of
the next month.
So, for example, if you have been employed since 2015, but generally only working 100 or so hours per look-back month, you will
have been offered Tier 1 Coverage. Whether or not you elect Tier 1 Coverage, we will look at your hours during each look-back
period. In July, we will look at June’s hours using the look-back period from May 30, 2021 through June 26, 2021. If you have 120
hours during that look-back period, you will be offered Tier 2 Coverage. If you enroll, your Tier 2 Coverage will be effective as of
August 1, 2021.
Here is another example. Instead of working 120 hours in March, you continue to work only 100 or so hours per look-back month
into the summer. In September, we will look at August’s hours using the look-back period from August 1, 2021 through August 28,
2021. If you have 120 hours during that look-back period, you will be offered Tier 2 Coverage. If you enroll, your Tier 2 Coverage
will be effective as of October 1, 2021.
If you enrolled in Tier 1 Coverage (the Bronze Plan) and you do not make any elections when you are offered Tier 2 Coverage, we will keep you
enrolled in the Bronze Plan, and the premium for the Bronze Plan will be paid in part by Maxim as of the effective date of your Tier 2 Coverage.
In all other cases and for all other benefits and plans, you must make an affirmative election to enroll in and receive Tier 2 Coverage.

Leave of Absence (LOA)
BENEFITS DEPARTMENT LEAVE SPECIALIST: 1-866-492-0510 | LEAVEREQUESTS@MAXHEALTH.COM
If you are or will be out of work for more than 3 days due to your own serious medical condition or the serious medical condition of an
immediate family member, contact a Leave Specialist at leaverequests@maxhealth.com or 1-866-492-0510 to determine if you are eligible
to be placed on a leave of absence. For foreseeable leaves, you must provide us with 30 days advance notice. If the need for leave is not
foreseeable, you must notify us as soon as is practicable (typically within 3 days).
If you are placed on an approved leave of absence1, the eligibility calculation described on the prior page will be suspended until you return
from leave.
For additional information2 on Maxim’s Leave of Absence policies, contact a Leave Specialist.
1
We encourage you to provide as much notice of your leave as possible to prevent a disruption in your benefits. The benefit eligibility calculation will continue until your leave
is approved, which requires the submission and approval of appropriate paperwork.
2
Additional information and requirements will be provided to you with your LOA paperwork.
Payroll Deductions
All benefit premium deductions are taken weekly, with the exception of transportation benefits, which are deducted in one lump sum each
month. In the event that you miss a deduction, it will be automatically withheld from a future paycheck.

Changing Your Benefits During the Year
In order to change or cancel a pre-tax benefit during the year, you must experience a qualifying status change. Except as otherwise
indicated below, you have 30 days from the date of the status change to contact us, complete a change form, and to provide proof of the
change, such as a birth or marriage certificate. Also, the requested changes must be consistent with your change in status. For example, if
you have a baby, you can change your medical plan coverage level and add dependent life insurance. Proof of relationship, such as a birth
or marriage certificate, will be required for dependents with a different last name from you.

Beneficiaries
Many people overlook and underestimate the importance of designating a beneficiary. In many cases, people don’t designate a beneficiary
at all, and in other cases, the information is outdated. Taking the time to designate or update your beneficiaries today can eliminate many
challenges for your family in the event of your death.
WHAT IS A BENEFICIARY?
A beneficiary is a person or entity that you designate to receive the proceeds from your life insurance and/or 401(k) account. For each
account, you can name a single beneficiary or multiple beneficiaries. If you have multiple beneficiaries, you can also decide how the
proceeds will be split between them.
When naming beneficiaries, you should identify them as clearly as possible and include their social security numbers. This makes it easier
to find your beneficiary and also makes it less likely that disputes will arise.
You can also assign “primary” and “secondary” (also known as “contingent”) beneficiaries. A primary beneficiary receives the benefit if he or
she can be found after your death. A secondary beneficiary receives the benefit if the primary beneficiary predeceases you or cannot be found.
If neither your primary nor secondary beneficiaries can be found, or if you do not assign them, the benefit will be paid to your estate.
Probate proceedings are costly and will often delay distribution of the benefit; therefore, it’s best to specify how the benefits should be
handled if your beneficiaries have died or cannot be located.
Your choice of beneficiary may change as your life situation changes. Marriage, divorce, or the birth/adoption of a child are often events
that cause your beneficiary to change.

Medical Benefits
CAREFIRST BLUECROSS BLUESHIELD: 1-877-691-5856 | WWW.BCBS.COM
Since everyone’s health care needs are different, we offer a variety of plans so you can customize your own coverage. By enrolling in a BlueCross
BlueShield Medical Plan, you can have medical and prescription coverage and access to BlueCross BlueShield’s national network of providers.
The various Medical Plans differ with copays, deductibles, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket limits. Review the Medical Plan Summary
Chart to compare the level of benefits to help you determine which plan best meets the needs of you and your dependents. To learn
more about how to personalize your medical coverage, contact a Benefits Customer Service Representative at 1-866-663-1107 or
BenefitInquiries@maxhealth.com. Representatives are available to assist you Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (ET).
To locate a participating provider, visit www.MaximHealthcareBenefits.com for a direct link to the BlueCross BlueShield website, or go to
www.bcbs.com and select “Find a Doctor or Hospital”.
When you enroll in a Medical Plan you will also be enrolled in the prescription plan and Health Advocate at no extra cost!
Please note that only the High-Deductible Bronze Medical Plan is offered as a part of the Tier 1 benefits package.
Note: The Basic Medical Plan does not provide the minimum creditable coverage that adults who file taxes in Massachusetts need to have
in order to avoid penalties. Employees residing in Massachusetts who select the Basic Medical Plan may be subject to penalties.
Eligibility for the Standard Medical Plan is “frozen.” This means that Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals are not permitted to
enter the plan. Any Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals who have already elected the plan may continue participating in it at this
time. However, no new Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals will be allowed to enroll. In addition, if you are currently enrolled in the
Standard Medical Plan and cease to be enrolled for any reason, you will not be permitted to re-enroll.
ID CARDS
Your medical ID cards will arrive at your home approximately 3 weeks after your enrollment is received at the insurance company.
If you need to see your provider prior to receiving your cards, you may print a Temporary Benefit Confirmation by logging on to
www.MaximHealthcareBenefits.com and selecting the “My Benefits & Personal Information” tab at the top of the Homepage. Click
Benefits, then select “Print Temporary Benefit Confirmation”. You will be able to retrieve your “Temporary Benefits Confirmation”
once your enrollment has been processed (typically within 1 week from the date you enrolled online).

FILLING PRESCRIPTIONS
Maxim has a partnership with CVS/caremark and through that partnership is able to negotiate better rates on maintenance drugs for our
employees. This will require you to fill prescriptions for certain medications at a CVS pharmacy or by mail order, as explained below.

How To Reduce Medication Costs
• Request generic prescriptions whenever available.
• Go to www.carefirst.com/myaccount. In the prescription drug section of this helpful website, you can look up medicines using the online
database. You can also use the price comparison tool to learn more about the costs associated with the medicines you may be taking.
• Talk with your doctor. Review the medicines you are taking with your physician and ask if there are more affordable alternatives
that may be right for you.
• Use a participating pharmacy. There are more than 59,000 participating pharmacies nationwide that accept your prescription drug
plan. Choose one that is convenient, but remember to shop around. Some pharmacies charge more than others.
• Be on the lookout for alternatives. New medicines become available often, so the price of your prescription may rise or fall as a result.

Hospital Bridge Insurance Plan
SYMETRA: 1-800-497-3699
Offered through Symetra, the Hospital Bridge Insurance Plan is designed to supplement the Basic Medical Plan, but can also be purchased
on a stand-alone basis or as a supplement to another medical plan. The Hospital Bridge Insurance Plan pays a fixed daily cash benefit
directly to you to help you offset the cost of medical services such as hospitalization, major diagnostic testing, emergency room visits,
outpatient surgical facility, mental healthcare room, and more, up to the annual maximum.
When you are admitted to the hospital, you may “assign” your benefits to the hospital or you may choose not to. This is your choice
regardless of any major medical or other coverage you may have, but if you do not have major medical coverage the hospital may require
you to assign your benefits as a condition of admittance. If you assign benefits, the hospital should file the claim and payment will be made
by Symetra directly to the hospital up to the amount the hospital shows due or up to the limit of the plan. Excess benefits, if any, will be
paid directly to you. If you do not assign your benefits, you will need to file the claim with Symetra yourself and benefits will be paid directly
to you. Paid benefits are not taxed.
Coverage is guaranteed issue, which means you cannot be denied coverage, regardless of current or prior personal or family health history,
and there are no pre-existing limitations.
You may choose from three plan options:
• Traditional: $25,000 maximum benefit per covered person per year
• Enhanced: $35,000 maximum benefit per covered person per year
• Premium: $45,000 maximum benefit per covered person per year
Due to state regulations, this plan is not available to employees who live in New Hampshire.
ID CARDS
Your Hospital Bridge Insurance Plan ID cards will arrive at your home approximately 3 weeks after your enrollment is received at Symetra.
HOW DO THE BASIC MEDICAL PLAN AND THE HOSPITAL BRIDGE INSURANCE PLAN WORK TOGETHER?
The Basic Medical Plan features low premiums and no deductible while providing you 100% coverage for unlimited sick and well visits
to doctors and covers generic and preferred brand name prescription drugs. However, the Basic Medical Plan does not cover surgery,
hospitalization, emergency room services, x-ray/diagnostic imaging or non-preferred brand name or specialty prescription drugs. Combining
the Basic Medical with a Hospital Bridge Plan allows you to expand your coverage and build a personalized program that suits your needs
and is budget friendly. Any one of the Hospital Bridge Plans can supplement the Basic Medical Plan or any other coverage you may have.
You can choose to further expand your coverage by choosing Critical Illness and/or Accident Insurance Plans.

SYMETRA: 1-800-497-3699 | WWW.SYMETRA.COM
The Hospital Expense Protection Plan offers you the opportunity to buy additional inpatient hospitalization benefits for sickness, accident,
maternity care, substance abuse, and mental health care. It also provides benefits if you need nursing facility care following a hospital stay.
If you are hospitalized as an inpatient, the plan will pay a fixed dollar amount per day (at least 24 hours in a hospital) of confinement up to a maximum
number of days per calendar year. Benefits become payable on the first day of covered confinement (except for nursing facility). There are no pre-
existing condition limitations and you do not have to meet a deductible or pay a co-pay. Please see the chart on the following page for more details.
The HEPP does not issue restrictions on hospitals, meaning there is no requirement to use participating providers.

Supplemental Critical Illness Insurance Plan
SYMETRA: 1-800-497-3699 | WWW.SYMETRA.COM
Critical Illness Protection, offered by Symetra, provides a lump sum payment upon the first diagnosis of a covered condition once coverage
takes effect for the individual. Covered conditions include cancer, heart attack and other critical illnesses due to disease. Covered critical
illness conditions are grouped into benefit categories. The benefit is payable once for a specific covered critical illness, up to 100% of the
benefit amount payable for each category of covered critical illness.
• Category 1: Invasive Cancer: 100%. Minor Cancer: 25%
• Category 2: Heart Attack and Stroke: 100%. Coronary Artery Disease needing surgery or angioplasty: 25%
• Category 3*: Coma due to accident, Occupational HIV infection, Loss of Sight, Loss of Speech, Loss of Hearing, Major Organ Failure, End-
Stage Renal Failure, Paralysis due to accident, Sever Burns: 100%
• Category 4: Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, advanced Alzheimer’s, ALS and similar motor neuron diseases.
You may elect $10,000 (Option 1) or $20,000 (Option 2) worth of coverage for yourself and your spouse/domestic partner, and the benefit
is always 100% of the lump sum benefit you enrolled for. Benefits for children are 25% of the adult benefit.
Critical Illness insurance is intended to supplement a comprehensive medical plan. It provides a lump sum cash benefit for expenses not
covered by a traditional medical plan.
The benefits of critical illness insurance include:
• Helps you have money for deductibles, co-pays, lost income, experimental treatment, etc.
• Benefits are paid directly to you in addition to the major medical insurance you may already have in place.
• With this policy, each category condition is independent. So, if you have a heart attack while covered and a year later you are diagnosed
with invasive cancer, then you may get paid the full benefit amount twice. Pre-existing conditions and other policy limitations apply.
• Paid benefits are not taxed.
*Category 3 benefits are limited for residents of Washington state and New Hampshire due to state regulations. Refer to the policy for more information.
Critical Illness Insurance can be purchased as a stand-alone plan or in addition to the Medical Plan, the Accident Insurance Plan, or the
Hospital Expense Protection Plan.

INVESTMENT OPTIONS
This plan offers a number of investment options for you to choose from. If you have not made an investment election, your contributions are invested
into the Vanguard Target Date funds. This fund has been selected for you based on your date of birth and an estimated retirement age of 65.
A target date fund is a practical, easy-to-understand choice for retirement investing. Each fund is diversified across stocks, bonds, and cash
equivalents, invested according to the fund’s target date. The target date represents the year you may be considering to begin withdrawing
your money. As the target date approaches, the fund slowly becomes more conservative, with less invested in stocks and more in bonds
and cash equivalents. While a target date fund offers a convenient investment solution, it’s important to remember that the principal value
of the fund is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date.
For additional information regarding the default investment option, refer to the following page reference.

You may change your future contributions at any time but refunds are not available for any deductions that have already occurred. Additionally you should regularly review your paycheck to ensure
deductions are occurring as desired.

NOTICE OF PRIVACY PRACTICES
For Self-Funded/Self-Insured Health Plans Sponsored by Maxim Healthcare Group, Inc. Effective: 9/1/2013
THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW HEALTH INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET
ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
The self-funded/self-insured medical plans (collectively “the Plan”), sponsored by Maxim Healthcare Group, Inc. (“Maxim”) for the benefit of
its employees, are required by law to secure and safeguard any protected health information provided to the Plan for managing employee
benefits. The Plan is further required to provide you with this notice explaining the Plan’s privacy practices with regard to your protected
health information. This Notice tells you how the Plan may use and disclose your health information and it outlines those instances where
your health information may be released without your authorization. You have certain rights regarding the privacy of your protected health
information and those rights are also described in this notice.
As used in this notice, Protected Health Information (PHI) includes both medical information regarding your care and treatment and individually
identifiable personal information such as your name, address, phone number, social security number or other personal information that you
provide in the course of applying for benefits and associated claims processing. This information may be in electronic, written and/or oral form.
PHI does not include health information contained in employment records held by Maxim in its role as an employer, including but not
limited to health information on disability, work-related illness/injury, sick leave, Family or Medical Leave (FMLA), life insurance, dependent
care flexible spending account, drug testing, etc. However, your PHI will be disclosed to certain employees of Maxim working in the
Benefits Department for plan administration purposes. These individuals may use your PHI for Plan administration functions including
those described below, provided they do not violate the provisions set forth herein.
Lastly, the Plan may not (and does not) use genetic information that is PHI for underwriting purposes.
USES OR DISCLOSURES OF PHI. Generally, the Plan may not use or disclose a person’s PHI without their permission and, once permission
has been obtained, the Plan must use or disclose PHI as provided for in the specific terms of that permission. A person may also decline the
release of information or restrict/revoke the release of information. Those rights are further outlined herein. Some specific instances where
authorization is required before the Plan may use or disclose health information include, without limitation:
• Most uses and disclosures of psychotherapy notes or other records including particularly sensitive health information including
substance abuse and sexually transmitted disease such as HIV/AIDS;
• Uses and Disclosures of PHI for marketing purposes; and
• Disclosures that constitute a sale of protected health information.
In certain instances, the Plan may use/disclose PHI without authorization. The following uses/disclosures DO NOT require authorization:
Treatment: PHI may be used or disclosed for the purposes of providing, coordinating or managing your healthcare or associated benefits.
This includes, but is not limited to, disclosures to doctors, nurses, technicians, staff and other healthcare professionals who become involved
in your care. For example: The Plan discloses to a treating specialist the name of your treating primary care physician so the two can confer
regarding your treatment plan.
Payment: PHI may be used or disclosed to receive payment for services or to obtain authorizations for proposed treatments. For example:
The Plan may need to review, or have a claims administrator or other entity review, information about treatment you received from a doctor
to determine whether, or how much, to pay the doctor or to reimburse you for the treatment. The Plan may also review information from a
doctor about a treatment you have received or you are going to receive to decide if the Plan will cover the treatment.
Healthcare Operations: PHI may be used or disclosed as needed to manage the Plan’s operations to ensure it runs soundly. Health care
operations includes but is not limited to quality assessment and improvement, patient safety activities, business planning and development,
reviewing competence or qualifications of health care professionals, underwriting, enrollment, premium rating and other insurance activities
relating to creating or renewing insurance contracts. It also includes disease management, case management, conducting or arranging for
medical review, legal services and auditing functions including fraud and abuse compliance programs and general administrative activities.
For example: The Plan uses information about your medical claims to refer you to a disease management program, to project future benefit
costs or to audit the accuracy of its claims processing functions.
Health-Related Benefits and Services: We may use and disclose PHI to tell you about other health-related benefits or services that may
be of interest to you.
2 0 2 1 C A R E G I V E R S A N D H E A LT H C A R E P R O F E S S I O N A L S B E N E F I T G U I D E 39
To Maxim, the Plan Sponsor: The Plan may disclose PHI to Maxim for plan administrative purposes. Maxim needs your PHI to administer
benefits under the Plan. Maxim agrees not to use or disclose your PHI other than as permitted or required by the documents governing
the Plan and by law. Maxim cannot and will not use PHI obtained from the Plan for any employment-related actions. The Plan may also
disclose your PHI to Maxim, as the Plan Sponsor, to enable it, among other things, to perform enrollment and disenrollment functions and
make decisions about the structure of the Plan.
Individuals Involved In Your Care or Payment For Your Care: Unless you object, we may disclose PHI to a relative, friend or any person
identified by you, if these individuals need to know about or are involved in your care, or for payment for your care.
Workers Compensation: PHI may be disclosed in order to comply with laws relating to workers’ compensation or similar programs.
Public Health, Safety, Disaster Relief, Or to Divert a Threat to Health Or Safety; Victims of Abuse, Neglect, or Domestic Violence: PHI
may be used or disclosed to the extent necessary for public health activities and to avert a serious and imminent threat to your health or
safety or the health and safety of others. Information may also be disclosed to the appropriate authorities if we reasonably believe that you
are a possible victim of abuse, neglect, domestic violence or other crimes. Any disclosure would only be to someone able to help prevent
the threat or injury.
Health Oversight: PHI may be disclosed to a health oversight agency for activities authorized by law. This may include but is not limited
to The Joint Commission, ACHC, surveys, investigations, inspections, licensure or disciplinary actions.
Legal Proceedings and Law Enforcement: PHI is released when asked by a law enforcement officer and/or in response to a subpoena,
court or administrative order, warrant, discovery request or other lawful process.
Military and National Security: PHI is released when requested by authorized military command authorities or federal officials if you are
in the armed forces or are a veteran, or as required other national security activities.
Coroners, Medical Examiners and Funeral Directors: PHI may be disclosed to a coroner or medical examiner if necessary to identify a
deceased person or to determine a cause of death, or to a funeral director in connection with the performance of their duties.
Business Associates: The Plan may use vendor services as part of its operations to manage the Plan. In those instances, all business
associates are contractually obligated to safeguard your information through a Business Associate Agreement.
Research; Death; Organ Donation: PHI may be used for research purposes in limited circumstances. However, all such research projects
are subject to an approval process, and we will ask your permission if a researcher is to have access to your name, address, or other
information that identifies you. PHI may also be disclosed for the purpose of facilitating organ donation and transplantation.
Required By Law: The Plan will use or disclose PHI when required to do so by federal, state or local law.
YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING YOUR PERSONAL AND MEDICAL INFORMATION. The information contained in the records held by the Plan
belongs to you. Federal law gives you the rights described below regarding your medical information.
Revoke Authorizations. You may revoke any authorization for the release of information, at any time. Your request should be submitted
in writing to Maxim’s Privacy Officer. Upon receipt, we will no longer disclose health information for the reasons stated in your written
authorization. Disclosures made in reliance on the authorization prior to the revocation are not affected by the revocation.
Inspect and Copy. With certain exceptions, you have the right to inspect and copy your PHI maintained in the Plan’s “designated record
set.” To the extent your record is maintained electronically, you have the right to access your own electronic health record in an electronic
format. You may also direct Maxim to send the e-health record directly to a third party.
Amendments. If you feel that the PHI the Plan has about you is incorrect or incomplete, you may ask the Plan to amend the information.
All requests must be submitted to Maxim’s Privacy Officer in writing. Requests may be declined if the information (a) is not part of the PHI
kept by or for the Plan; (b) was not created by the Plan, unless the person or entity that created the information is no longer available to
make the amendment; (c) is not part of the information which you would be permitted to inspect and copy; or (d) is accurate and complete.
If your request is declined, we will provide you with a written denial stating the basis of the denial, your right to submit a written statement
disagreeing with the denial, and a description of how you may file a complaint with us or the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (“DHHS”).
Accounting of Disclosures. You may request a list of certain disclosures made of your medical information (“accounting of disclosures”). In
some instances, the accounting may be limited by time and may exclude disclosures made for treatment, payment or health care operations.

MEDICARE PART D NOTICE FOR BASIC, HIGH DEDUCTIBLE, SILVER, & STANDARD MEDICAL PLAN PARTICIPANTS
PLEASE NOTE: This Notice only applies to you if you are eligible for Medicare. If your covered spouse/domestic partner or dependent is
covered by Medicare, please share this notice with them.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM MAXIM HEALTHCARE GROUP, INC. ABOUT YOUR PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE AND MEDICARE
Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage
with Maxim 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. If you are considering joining, you should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered
at what cost, with the coverage and costs of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. Information about where you
can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice.
There are two important things you need to know about your current coverage and Medicare’s prescription drug coverage:
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 prescription 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. Maxim has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered under this plan is, on average for all plan participants, expected
2 0 2 1 C A R E G I V E R S A N D H E A LT H C A R E P R O F E S S I O N A L S B E N E F I T G U I D E 41
to pay out as much as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is therefore considered Creditable Coverage. Because
your existing coverage is Creditable Coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later
decide to join a Medicare prescription drug plan.
WHEN WILL YOU PAY A HIGHER PREMIUM (PENALTY) TO JOIN A MEDICARE DRUG PLAN?
You should also know that if you drop or lose your current coverage with Maxim and don’t join a Medicare drug plan within 63 continuous
days after your current coverage ends, you may pay a higher premium (a penalty) to join a Medicare drug plan later.
If you go 63 continuous days or longer without creditable prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium may go up by at least 1% of
the Medicare base beneficiary premium per month for every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go nineteen
months without creditable coverage, your premium may consistently be at least 19% higher than the Medicare base beneficiary premium.
You may have to pay this higher premium (a penalty) as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have
to wait until the following October to join.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS NOTICE OR YOUR CURRENT PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE…
Contact the person listed below for further information. NOTE: You’ll get this notice each year. You will also get it before the next period
you can join a Medicare drug plan and if this coverage through Maxim changes. You also may request a copy of this notice at any time.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR OPTIONS UNDER MEDICARE PRESCRIPTION DRUG COVERAGE…
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. For more information about
Medicare prescription drug coverage: Visit www.medicare.gov.

Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see the inside back cover of your copy of the “Medicare & You” handbook for their
telephone number) for personalized help: Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.
If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage is available. For information about this extra
help, visit Social Security on the web at www.socialsecurity.gov, or call them at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778).
Remember: Keep this notice. If you decide to join one of the Medicare drug plans, you may be required to provide a copy of this notice
when you join to show whether or not you have maintained creditable coverage and, therefore, whether or not you are required to pay a
higher premium (a penalty).

PREMIUM ASSISTANCE UNDER MEDICAID AND THE CHILDREN’S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM (CHIP)
If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state may have
a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children
aren’t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligible for these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual
insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov.
If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP
office to find out if premium assistance is available.
If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for
either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to
apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan.
If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your
employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren’t already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and
you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling
in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol.gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272).
If you live in one of the following states, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. The following list
of states is current as of July 31, 2020. Contact your State for more information on eligibility.

NEW HEALTH INSURANCE MARKETPLACE COVERAGE OPTIONS & YOUR HEALTH COVERAGE
PART A: GENERAL INFORMATION
Key parts of the health care law took effect in 2014, creating a new way to buy health insurance: the Health Insurance Marketplace. To
assist you as you evaluate options for you and your family, this notice provides some basic information about the new Marketplace and
employment based health coverage.
DOES EMPLOYER HEALTH COVERAGE AFFECT ELIGIBILITY FOR PREMIUM SAVINGS THROUGH THE MARKETPLACE?
Yes. If you have an offer of health coverage from your employer that meets certain standards, you will not be eligible for a tax credit through
the Marketplace and may wish to enroll in your employer’s health plan. However, you may be eligible for a tax credit that lowers your monthly
premium, or a reduction in certain cost-sharing if your employer does not offer coverage to you at all or does not offer coverage that meets
certain standards. If the cost of a plan from your employer that would cover you (and not any other members of your family) is more than 9.5%
of your household income for the year, or if the coverage your employer provides does not meet the “minimum value” standard set by the
Affordable Care Act, you may be eligible for a tax credit.1
Note: If you purchase a health plan through the Marketplace instead of accepting health coverage offered by your employer, then you may lose
the employer contribution (if any) to the employer-offered coverage. Also, this employer contribution – as well as your employee contribution
to employer-offered coverage – is often excluded from income for Federal and State income tax purposes. Your payments for coverage
through the Marketplace are made on an after- tax basis.
2 0 2 1 C A R E G I V E R S A N D H E A LT H C A R E P R O F E S S I O N A L S B E N E F I T G U I D E 46
PART B: INFORMATION ABOUT HEALTH COVERAGE OFFERED BY YOUR EMPLOYER
This section contains information about any health coverage offered by your employer. If you decide to complete an application for coverage
in the Marketplace, you will be asked to provide this information. This information is numbered to correspond to the Marketplace application.
Here is some basic information about health coverage offered by this employer:
• As your employer, we offer a health plan to:
All
employees.
;Some
employees. Eligible employees are: All Caregivers and Healthcare Professionals that work at least 1 hour, but less than
120 hours in the previous calendar month, and any other employees regularly scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week.
• With respect to dependents:
do offer coverage. Eligible dependents are: Legally recognized spouses, domestic partners (provided the employee and
;We
the domestic partner have registered their domestic partnership with a state or local domestic partnership registry), and
children through age 26 (or longer in certain circumstances if a child is permanently and totally disabled.)
We
do not offer coverage.
;If
checked, this coverage meets the minimum value standard, and the cost of this coverage to you is intended to be affordable, based
on employee wages.
** Even if your employer intends your coverage to be affordable, you may still be eligible for a premium discount through the Marketplace. The
Marketplace will use your household income, along with other factors, to determine whether you may be eligible for a premium discount. If,
for example, your wages vary from week to week (perhaps you are an hourly employee or you work on a commission basis), if you are newly
employed mid-year, or if you have other income losses, you may still qualify for a premium discount.
If you decide to shop for coverage in the Marketplace, HealthCare.gov will guide you through the process. Here's the employer information
you'll enter when you visit HealthCare.gov to find out if you can get a tax credit to lower your monthly premiums.
