Important Notice from Humana High Deductible Health Plan About
Our Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has determined that Humana High Deductible Health Plan prescription drug
coverage is, on average, expected to pay out as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage will pay for all
plan participants and is considered Creditable Coverage. This means you do not need to enroll in Medicare Part D and pay
extra for prescription drug coverage. If you decide to enroll in Medicare Part D later, you will not have to pay a penalty for
late enrollment as long as you keep your FEHB coverage.
However, if you choose to enroll in Medicare Part D, you can keep your FEHB coverage and your FEHB plan will
coordinate benefits with Medicare.
Remember: If you are an annuitant and you cancel your FEHB coverage, you may not re-enroll in the FEHB Program.
Please be advised
If you lose or drop your FEHB coverage and go 63 days or longer without prescription drug coverage that is at least as good
as Medicare’s prescription drug coverage, your monthly Medicare Part D premium will go up at least 1 percent per month for
every month that you did not have that coverage. For example, if you go 19 months without Medicare Part D prescription
drug coverage, your premium will always be at least 19 percent higher than what many other people pay. You will have to
pay this higher premium as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. In addition, you may have to wait until
the next Annual Coordinated Election Period (October 15 through December 7) to enroll in Medicare Part D.
Medicare’s Low Income Benefits
For people with limited income and resources, extra help paying for a Medicare prescription drug plan is available.
Information regarding this program is available through the Social Security Administration (SSA) online at www.
socialsecurity.gov, or call the SSA at 800-772-1213, (TTY: 800-325-0778).

Introduction
This brochure describes the benefits of Humana High Deductible Health Plan under contract (CS 2887) between Humana and
the United States Office of Personnel Management, as authorized by the Federal Employees Health Benefits law. Customer
Service may be reached at 1-800-4HUMANA, 1-800-448-6262 or through our website: https://feds.humana.com/. This plan
is underwritten by Humana Health Plan Inc., Humana Employers Health Plan of Georgia, Inc., Humana Health Plan of
Texas, Inc., Humana Insurance Company, Humana Medical Plan, Inc., and Humana Health Plan of Ohio, Inc. The address for
the High Deductible Health Plan administrative office is:
Humana Inc.
500 West Main Street
Louisville, KY 40201
This brochure is the official statement of benefits. No verbal statement can modify or otherwise affect the benefits,
limitations, and exclusions of this brochure. It is your responsibility to be informed about your health benefits.
If you are enrolled in this Plan, you are entitled to the benefits described in this brochure. If you are enrolled in Self Plus One
or Self and Family coverage, each eligible family member is also entitled to these benefits. You do not have a right to
benefits that were available before January 1, 2022, unless those benefits are also shown in this brochure.
OPM negotiates benefits and rates with each plan annually. Benefit changes are effective January 1, 2022, and changes are
summarized on page 17. Rates are shown at the end of this brochure.
Plain Language
All FEHB brochures are written in plain language to make them easy to understand. Here are some examples:
Except for necessary technical terms, we use common words. For instance, “you” means the enrollee and each covered
family member, “we” means Humana Health Plan Inc., Humana Employers Health Plan of Georgia, Inc., Humana Health
Plan of Texas, Inc., Humana Insurance Company, Humana Medical Plan, Inc., and Humana Health Plan of Ohio, Inc.
We limit acronyms to ones you know. FEHB is the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. OPM is the United States
Office of Personnel Management. If we use others, we tell you what they mean.
Our brochure and other FEHB plans’ brochures have the same format and similar descriptions to help you compare plans.
Stop Healthcare Fraud!
Fraud increases the cost of healthcare for everyone and increases your Federal Employees Health Benefits Program premium.
OPM’s Office of the Inspector General investigates all allegations of fraud, waste, and abuse in the FEHB Program
regardless of the agency that employs you or from which you retired.
Protect Yourself From Fraud – Here are some things that you can do to prevent fraud:
Do not give your plan identification (ID) number over the phone or to people you do not know, except for your healthcare
providers, authorized health benefits plan, or OPM representative.
Let only the appropriate medical professionals review your medical record or recommend services.
Avoid using healthcare providers who say that an item or service is not usually covered, but they know how to bill us to
get it paid.
Carefully review explanations of benefits (EOBs) statements that you receive from us.
Periodically review your claim history for accuracy to ensure we have not been billed for services you did not receive.
Do not ask your doctor to make false entries on certificates, bills, or records in order to get us to pay for an item or service.
3 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Introduction/Plain Language/Advisory
If you suspect that a provider has charged you for services you did not receive, billed you twice for the same service, or
misrepresented any information, do the following:
- Call the provider and ask for an explanation. There may be an error.
- If the provider does not resolve the matter, call us at 1-800-4HUMANA and explain the situation.
- If we do not resolve the issue:
CALL - THE HEALTHCARE FRAUD HOTLINE
1-877-499-7295
OR go to www.opm.gov/our-inspector-general/hotline-to-report-fraud-waste-or-abuse/complaint-form/
The online reporting form is the desired method of reporting fraud in order to ensure accuracy, and a quicker response time.
You can also write to:
United States Office of Personnel Management
Office of the Inspector General Fraud Hotline
1900 E Street NW Room 6400
Washington, DC 20415-1100
Do not maintain as a family member on your policy:
- Your former spouse after a divorce decree or annulment is final (even if a court order stipulates otherwise)
- Your child age 26 or over (unless they are disabled and incapable of self-support prior to age 26)
A carrier may request that an enrollee verify the eligibility of any or all family members listed as covered under the enrollee’s
FEHB enrollment.
If you have any questions about the eligibility of a dependent, check with your personnel office if you are employed, with
your retirement office (such as OPM) if you are retired, or with the National Finance Center if you are enrolled under
Temporary Continuation of Coverage (TCC).
Fraud or intentional misrepresentation of material fact is prohibited under the Plan. You can be prosecuted for fraud and
your agency may take action against you. Examples of fraud include, falsifying a claim to obtain FEHB benefits, trying to
or obtaining service or coverage for yourself or for someone who is not eligible for coverage, or enrolling in the Plan when
you are no longer eligible.
If your enrollment continues after you are no longer eligible for coverage (i.e. you have separated from Federal service)
and premiums are not paid, you will be responsible for all benefits paid during the period in which premiums were not
paid. You may be billed by your provider for services received. You may be prosecuted for fraud for knowingly using
health insurance benefits for which you have not paid premiums. It is your responsibility to know when you or a family
member is no longer eligible to use your health insurance coverage.

Preventing Medical Mistakes
Medical mistakes continue to be a significant cause of preventable deaths within the United States. While death is the most
tragic outcome, medical mistakes cause other problems such as permanent disabilities, extended hospital stays, longer
recoveries, and even additional treatments. Medical mistakes and their consequences also add significantly to the overall cost
of healthcare. Hospitals and healthcare providers are being held accountable for the quality of care and reduction in medical
mistakes by their accrediting bodies. You can also improve the quality and safety of your own healthcare and that of your
family members by learning more about and understanding your risks. Take these simple steps:
1. Ask questions if you have doubts or concerns.
Ask questions and make sure you understand the answers.
Choose a doctor with whom you feel comfortable talking.
Take a relative or friend with you to help you take notes, ask questions and understand answers.
2. Keep and bring a list of all the medications you take.
Bring the actual medication or give your doctor and pharmacist a list of all the medications and dosage that you take,
including non-prescription (over-the-counter) medications and nutritional supplements.
Tell your doctor and pharmacist about any drug, food, and other allergies you have, such as to latex.
Ask about any risks or side effects of the medication and what to avoid while taking it. Be sure to write down what your
doctor or pharmacist says.
Make sure your medication is what the doctor ordered. Ask the pharmacist about your medication if it looks different than
you expected.
Read the label and patient package insert when you get your medication, including all warnings and instructions.
Know how to use your medication. Especially note the times and conditions when your medication should and should not
be taken.
Contact your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions.
Understand both the generic and brand names of your medication. This helps ensure you do not receive double dosing
from taking both a generic and a brand. It also helps prevent you from taking a medication to which you are allergic.
5 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Introduction/Plain Language/Advisory
3. Get the results of any test or procedure.
Ask when and how you will get the results of tests or procedures. Will it be in person, by phone, mail, through the Plan or
Providers portal?
Don’t assume the results are fine if you do not get them when expected. Contact your healthcare provider and ask for your
results.
Ask what the results mean for your care.
4. Talk to your doctor about which hospital or clinic is best for your health needs.
Ask your doctor about which hospital or clinic has the best care and results for your condition if you have more than one
hospital or clinic to choose from to get the healthcare you need.
Be sure you understand the instructions you get about follow-up care when you leave the hospital or clinic.
5. Make sure you understand what will happen if you need surgery.
Make sure you, your doctor, and your surgeon all agree on exactly what will be done during the operation.
Ask your doctor, “Who will manage my care when I am in the hospital?”
Ask your surgeon:
- "Exactly what will you be doing?"
- "About how long will it take?"
- "What will happen after surgery?"
- "How can I expect to feel during recovery?"
Tell the surgeon, anesthesiologist, and nurses about any allergies, bad reactions to anesthesia, and any medications or
nutritional supplements you are taking.

6 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Introduction/Plain Language/Advisory
Preventable Healthcare Acquired Conditions (“Never Events”)
When you enter the hospital for treatment of one medical problem, you do not expect to leave with additional injuries,
infections, or other serious conditions that occur during the course of your stay. Although some of these complications may
not be avoidable, patients do suffer from injuries or illnesses that could have been prevented if doctors or the hospital had
taken proper precautions. Errors in medical care that are clearly identifiable, preventable and serious in their consequences
for patients, can indicate a significant problem in the safety and credibility of a healthcare facility. These conditions and
errors are sometimes called “Never Events” or “Serious Reportable Events.”
We have a benefit payment policy that encourages hospitals to reduce the likelihood of hospital-acquired conditions such as
certain infections, severe bedsores, and fractures, and to reduce medical errors that should never happen. When such an event
occurs, neither you nor your FEHB plan will incur costs to correct the medical error.
You will not be billed for inpatient services related to treatment of specific hospital acquired conditions or for inpatient
services needed to correct Never Events, if you use Humana preferred providers. This policy helps to protect you from
preventable medical errors and improve the quality of care you receive.

Self Only coverage is only for the enrollee. Self Plus One coverage is for the enrollee and one
eligible family member. Self and Family coverage is for the enrollee and one or more eligible
family members. Family members include your spouse and your dependent children under age
26, including any foster children authorized for coverage by your employing agency or
retirement office. Under certain circumstances, you may also continue coverage for a disabled
child 26 years of age or older who is incapable of self-support.
If you have a Self Only enrollment, you may change to a Self Plus One or Self and Family
enrollment if you marry, give birth, or add a child to your family. You may change your
enrollment 31 days before to 60 days after that event.

8 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan FEHB Facts
The Self Plus One or Self and Family enrollment begins on the first day of the pay period in
which the child is born or becomes an eligible family member. When you change to Self Plus
One or Self and Family because you marry, the change is effective on the first day of the pay
period that begins after your employing office receives your enrollment form. Benefits will not
be available to your spouse until you are married. A carrier may request that an enrollee verify
the eligibility of any or all family members listed as covered under the enrollee’s FEHB
enrollment.
Contact your carrier to obtain a Certificate of Creditable Coverage (COCC) or to add a
dependent when there is already family Coverage.
Contact your employing or retirement office if you are changing from Self to Self Plus One or
Self and Family or to add a newborn if you currently have a Self Only plan.
Your employing or retirement office will not notify you when a family member is no longer
eligible to receive benefits, nor will we. Please tell us immediately of changes in family member
status, including your marriage, divorce, annulment, or when your child reaches age 26.
If you or one of your family members is enrolled in one FEHB plan, you or they cannot be
enrolled in or covered as a family member by another enrollee in another FEHB plan.
If you have a qualifying life event (QLE) - such as marriage, divorce, or the birth of a child -
outside of the Federal Benefits Open Season, you may be eligible to enroll in the FEHB
Program, change your enrollment, or cancel coverage. For a complete list of QLEs, visit the
FEHB website at www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/life-events. If you need assistance, please
contact your employing agency, Tribal Benefits Officer, personnel/payroll office, or retirement
office.
Family members covered under your Self and Family enrollment are your spouse (including
your spouse by valid common-law marriage from a state that recognizes common-law
marriages) and children as described in the chart below. A Self Plus One enrollment covers you
and your spouse, or one other eligible family member as described in the chart below.
Natural children, adopted children, and stepchildren
Coverage: Natural children, adopted children, and stepchildren are covered until their 26th
birthday.
Foster children
Coverage: Foster children are eligible for coverage until their 26th birthday if you provide
documentation of your regular and substantial support of the child and sign a certification stating
that your foster child meets all the requirements. Contact your human resources office or
retirement system for additional information.
Children incapable of self-support
Coverage: Children who are incapable of self-support because of a mental or physical disability
that began before age 26 are eligible to continue coverage. Contact your human resources office
or retirement system for additional information.
Married children
Coverage: Married children (but NOT their spouse or their own children) are covered until their
26th birthday.
Children with or eligible for employer-provided health insurance
Coverage: Children who are eligible for or have their own employer-provided health insurance
are covered until their 26th birthday.
Newborns of covered children are insured only for routine nursery care during the covered
portion of the mother's maternity stay.

Family member
coverage
9 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan FEHB Facts
OPM has implemented the Federal Employees Health Benefits Children’s Equity Act of
2000. This law mandates that you be enrolled for Self Plus One or Self and Family coverage in
the FEHB Program, if you are an employee subject to a court or administrative order requiring
you to provide health benefits for your child(ren).
If this law applies to you, you must enroll for Self Plus One or Self and Family coverage in a
health plan that provides full benefits in the area where your children live or provide
documentation to your employing office that you have obtained other health benefits coverage
for your children. If you do not do so, your employing office will enroll you involuntarily as
follows:
If you have no FEHB coverage, your employing office will enroll you for Self Plus One or
Self and Family coverage, as appropriate, in the lowest-cost nationwide plan option as
determined by OPM;
If you have a Self Only enrollment in a fee-for-service plan or in an HMO that serves the
area where your children live, your employing office will change your enrollment to Self
Plus One or Self and Family, as appropriate, in the same option of the same plan; or
If you are enrolled in an HMO that does not serve the area where the children live, your
employing office will change your enrollment to Self Plus One or Self and Family, as
appropriate, in the lowest-cost nationwide plan option as determined by OPM.
As long as the court/administrative order is in effect, and you have at least one child identified in
the order who is still eligible under the FEHB Program, you cannot cancel your enrollment,
change to Self Only, or change to a plan that does not serve the area in which your children live,
unless you provide documentation that you have other coverage for the children.
If the court/administrative order is still in effect when you retire, and you have at least one child
still eligible for FEHB coverage, you must continue your FEHB coverage into retirement (if
eligible) and cannot cancel your coverage, change to Self Only, or change to a plan that does not
serve the area in which your children live as long as the court/administrative order is in
effect. Similarly, you cannot change to Self Plus One if the court/administrative order identifies
more than one child. Contact your employing office for further information.
Children’s
Equity Act
The benefits in this brochure are effective January 1. If you joined this Plan during Open Season,
your coverage begins on the first day of your first pay period that starts on or after January 1. If
you changed plans or plan options during Open Season and you receive care between
January 1 and the effective date of coverage under your new plan or option, your claims
will be processed according to the 2022 benefits of your prior plan or option. If you have
met (or pay cost-sharing that results in your meeting) the out-of-pocket maximum under the
prior plan or option, you will not pay cost-sharing for services covered between January 1 and
the effective date of coverage under your new plan or option. However, if your prior plan left the
FEHB Program at the end of the year, you are covered under that plan’s 2021 benefits until the
effective date of your coverage with your new plan. Annuitants’ coverage and premiums begin
on January 1. If you joined at any other time during the year, your employing office will tell you
the effective date of coverage.
If your enrollment continues after you are no longer eligible for coverage (i.e. you have
separated from Federal service) and premiums are not paid, you will be responsible for all
benefits paid during the period in which premiums were not paid. You may be billed for services
received directly from your provider. You may be prosecuted for fraud for knowingly using
health insurance benefits for which you have not paid premiums. It is your responsibility to
know when you or a family member are no longer eligible to use your health insurance
coverage.
When benefits
and premiums
start
When you retire, you can usually stay in the FEHB Program. Generally, you must have been
enrolled in the FEHB Program for the last five years of your Federal service. If you do not meet
this requirement, you may be eligible for other forms of coverage, such as Temporary
Continuation of Coverage (TCC).
When you retire
10 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan FEHB Facts
When you lose benefits
You will receive an additional 31 days of coverage, for no additional premium, when:
Your enrollment ends, unless you cancel your enrollment; or
You are a family member no longer eligible for coverage.
Any person covered under the 31 day extension of coverage who is confined in a hospital or
other institution for care or treatment on the 31
st
day of the temporary extension is entitled to
continuation of the benefits of the Plan during the continuance of the confinement but not
beyond the 60
th
day after the end of the 31 day temporary extension.
You may be eligible for spouse equity coverage or Temporary Continuation of Coverage (TCC),
or a conversion policy (a non-FEHB individual policy.)
When FEHB
coverage ends
If you are divorced from a Federal employee, or an annuitant, you may not continue to get
benefits under your former spouse’s enrollment. This is the case even when the court has
ordered your former spouse to provide health coverage to you. However, you may be eligible
for your own FEHB coverage under either the spouse equity law or Temporary Continuation of
Coverage (TCC). If you are recently divorced or are anticipating a divorce, contact your ex-
spouse’s employing or retirement office to get additional information about your coverage
choices. You can also visit OPM’s website at www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance/healthcare/
plan-information/. A carrier may request that an enrollee verify the eligibility of any or all family
members listed as covered under the enrollee’s FEHB enrollment.
Upon divorce
If you leave Federal service, Tribal employment, or if you lose coverage because you no longer
qualify as a family member, you may be eligible for Temporary Continuation of Coverage
(TCC). The Affordable Care Act (ACA) did not eliminate TCC or change the TCC rules. For
example, you can receive TCC if you are not able to continue your FEHB enrollment after you
retire, if you lose your Federal or Tribal job, if you are a covered dependent child and you turn
26, etc.
You may not elect TCC if you are fired from your Federal or Tribal job due to gross misconduct.
Enrolling in TCC. Get the RI 79-27, which describes TCC, from your employing or retirement
office or from www.opm.gov/healthcare-insurance. It explains what you have to do to enroll.
Alternatively, you can buy coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace where,
depending on your income, you could be eligible for a new kind of tax credit that lowers your
monthly premiums. Visit www.HealthCare.gov to compare plans and see what your premium,
deductible, and out-of-pocket costs would be before you make a decision to enroll. Finally, if
you qualify for coverage under another group health plan (such as your spouse’s plan), you may
be able to enroll in that plan, as long as you apply within 30 days of losing FEHB Program
coverage.
Temporary
Continuation of
Coverage
(TCC)
You may convert to a non-FEHB individual policy if:
Your coverage under TCC or the spouse equity law ends (If you canceled your coverage or
did not pay your premium, you cannot convert);
You decided not to receive coverage under TCC or the spouse equity law; or
You are not eligible for coverage under TCC or the spouse equity law.
If you leave Federal or Tribal service, your employing office will notify you of your right to
convert. You must contact us in writing within 31 days after you receive this notice. However, if
you are a family member who is losing coverage, the employing or retirement office will not
notify you. You must contact us in writing within 31 days after you are no longer eligible for
coverage.
Converting to
individual
coverage

Section 1. How This Plan Works
This plan is a High Deductible Health Plan. OPM requires that FEHB plans be accredited to validate that plan operations
and/or care management meet nationally recognized standards. Humana holds the following accreditations: The National
Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). To learn more about this plan’s accreditation(s), please visit the following
websites: www.ncqa.gov.
How we pay providers
Participating Providers: We contract with individual physicians, medical groups and hospitals to provide the benefits in this
brochure. These plan providers accept a negotiated payment from us based on a maximum allowable fee schedule. They will
not bill you and you will not have to file claim forms.
Non-Participating Providers: For services rendered by non-participating physicians, the dollar amount of the deductible or
benefit percentage is calculated based on a reimbursement schedule established by us.
When you use Participating Providers
When you use participating providers, you receive the highest level of benefits, with less out-of-pocket expenses. You will
not have to submit claim forms. You pay only the coinsurance and deductibles described in this brochure.
When you use Non-Participating Providers
When you use a non-participating provider, we will pay benefits at a lower level and you will pay a larger share of the costs.
Since non-participating providers have not agreed to accept discounted or negotiated fees as payment in full, they may
balance bill you for charges in excess of the allowable amount. You will be responsible for charges in excess of the allowable
amount in addition to any applicable deductible or coinsurance. Any amount that you pay to a non-participating provider in
excess of your coinsurance (percentage of the allowable fee) will not apply to your out-of-pocket limit or deductible.
General features of our High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)
HDHPs have higher annual deductibles and annual out-of-pocket maximum limits than other types of FEHB plans. FEHB
Program HDHPs also offer health saving accounts or health reimbursement arrangements. Please see below for more
information about these savings features. Our High Deductible Health Plan is a comprehensive medical plan. You can see
participating or non-participating providers without a referral.
An HDHP is a health plan product that provides traditional healthcare coverage and a tax-advantaged way to help you build
savings for future medical needs. An HDHP with an HSA or HRA is designed to give greater flexibility and discretion over
how you use your healthcare benefits. As an informed consumer, you decide how to utilize your plan coverage with a high
deductible and out-of-pocket expenses limited by catastrophic protection. And you decide how to spend the dollars in your
HSA. You have:
An HSA in which the Plan will automatically deposit $50 per month/Self Only or $100 per month/Self Plus One or
$100 per month/Self and Family.
• The ability to make voluntary contributions to your HSA of up to $3,000/Self Only or $6,000/Self Plus One or $6,000/Self
and Family per year. If you are age 55 or older, you may also make a catch-up contribution of up to $1,000 for 2022.
Our Plan offers services through a National POS-Open Access provider (NPOS) network.
You have access to NPOS providers inside and outside of your home network. When you use an NPOS provider in your
home network, you are only responsible for the deductible and coinsurance for covered charges. When you use an NPOS
provider that is outside your home network, Humana will pay a benefits based on a contracted rate, negotiated amount or a
billed charge. You are still only responsible for the deductible and coinsurance for covered charges. If you expect that you or
a dependent will be residing outside of your home network for a temporary period of time, please contact Humana for special
assistance.
13 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 1
To find NPOS providers, use the provider search tool on the https://feds.humana.com/ website or call Humana at
1-800-4HUMANA. When you phone for an appointment, please remember to verify that the physician is still an NPOS
provider. Humana providers are required to meet licensure and certification standards established by State and Federal
authorities, however, inclusion in the network does not represent a guarantee of professional performance nor does it
constitute medical advice.
You always have the right to choose an NPOS provider or a non-NPOS provider for medical treatment. When you see a
provider not in the NPOS network, Humana will pay at the non-NPOS level and you will pay a higher percentage of the cost.
HDHP benefits apply only when you use an NPOS provider. Provider networks may be more extensive in some areas than
others. We cannot guarantee the availability of every specialty in all areas. If no NPOS provider is available, or you do not
use an NPOS provider, the standard non-HDHP benefits apply. However, if the services are rendered at an NPOS hospital,
we will pay up to the Plan allowable for services of radiologists, anesthesiologists, emergency room physicians, hospitalists,
neonatologists and pathologists who are not preferred providers at the preferred provider rate. You will be responsible for the
difference between the plan allowance and the billed amount. In addition, providers outside the United States will be paid at
the NPOS level of benefits.
Preventive care services
Preventive care services are generally covered with no cost sharing and are not subject to deductibles or annual limits when
received from a network provider.
Annual deductible
The annual deductible of $3,000 for Self Only, or $6,000 for Self Plus One or Self and Family in-network and $9,000 for Self
Only, or $18,000 for Self Plus One or Self and Family out-of-network, where applicable, must be met before Plan benefits
are paid; not all benefits apply to the deductible, such as preventive services.
Health Savings Account (HSA)
You are eligible for an HSA if you are enrolled in an HDHP, not covered by any other health plan that is not an HDHP
(including a spouse’s health plan, excluding specific injury insurance and accident, disability, dental care, vision care, or
long-term care coverage), not enrolled in Medicare, not have received VA (except for veterans with a service-connected
disability) or Indian Health Service (IHS) benefits within the last three months, not covered by your own or your spouse's
flexible spending account (FSA), and are not claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.
You may use the money in your HSA to pay all or a portion of your annual deductible, coinsurance, or other out-of-pocket
costs that meet the IRS definition of a qualified medical expense.
Distributions from your HSA are tax-free for qualified medical expenses for you, your spouse, and your dependents, even
if they are not covered by an HDHP.
You may withdraw money from your HSA for items other than qualified medical expenses, but it will be subject to income
tax and, if you are under 65 years old, an additional 20% penalty tax on the amount withdrawn.
For each month that you are enrolled in an HDHP and eligible for an HSA, the HDHP will pass through (contribute) a
portion of the health plan premium to your HSA. In addition, you (the account holder) may contribute your own money to
your HSA up to an allowable amount determined by IRS rules. Your HSA dollars earn tax-free interest.
You may allow the contributions in your HSA to grow over time, like a savings account. The HSA is portable – you may
take the HSA with you if you leave the Federal government or switch to another plan.
14 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 1
Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) under HDHP
If you are not eligible for an HSA, or become ineligible to continue an HSA, you are eligible for a Health Reimbursement
Arrangement (HRA). Although an HRA is similar to an HSA, there are major differences.
An HRA does not earn interest.
An HRA is not portable if you leave the Federal government or switch to another plan.
Catastrophic protection
We protect you against catastrophic out-of-pocket expenses for covered services. The annual IRS limits out-of-pocket
expenses for covered services, including deductibles and coinsurance, for participating providers, to no more than $7,000 for
Self Only enrollment, and $14,000 for a Self Plus One or Self and Family. For non-participating providers, it cannot exceed
$21,000 for Self Only, and $42,000 for a Self Plus One or Self and Family. The out-of-pocket limit for this Plan may differ
from the IRS limit, but cannot exceed that amount.
Your rights and responsibilities

Section 3. How You Get Care
We will send you an identification (ID) card when you enroll. You should carry your ID
card with you at all times. You must show it whenever you receive services from a Plan
provider, or fill a prescription at a Plan pharmacy. Until you receive your ID card, use
your copy of the Health Benefits Election Form, SF-2809, your health benefits enrollment
confirmation (for annuitants), or your electronic enrollment system (such as Employee
Express) confirmation letter.
If you do not receive your ID card within 30 days after the effective date of your
enrollment, or if you need replacement cards, call us at 1-800-4HUMANA or
1-800-448-6262 or write to the Plan at P.O. Box 14602, Lexington, KY 40512-4602. You
may also request replacement cards through our website https://feds.humana.com/.
Identification cards
You can get care from any “Plan provider” or “Plan facilities.” You will only pay
deductibles and/or coinsurance, and you will not have to file claims. You can also get care
from non-Plan providers, but it will cost you more.
Where you get covered
care
Plan providers are physicians and other healthcare professionals in our service area that
we contract with to provide covered services to our members. We credential Plan
providers according to national standards.
We list Plan providers in the provider directory, which we update periodically. The list is
also on our website at https://feds.humana.com/.
This plan recognizes that transsexual, transgender, and gender-nonconforming members
require health care delivered by healthcare providers experienced in transgender health.
While gender reassignment surgeons (benefit details found in Section 5(b)) and hormone
therapy providers (benefit details found in Section 5(f)) play important roles in preventive
care, you should see a primary care provider familiar with your overall health care needs.
Benefits described in this brochure are available to all members meeting medical necessity
guidelines.
Plan providers
Plan facilities are hospitals and other facilities in our service area that we contract with to
provide covered services to our members. We list these in the provider directory, which
we update periodically. The list is also on our website at https://feds.humana.com/.
Plan facilities
FEHB Carriers must have clauses in their in-network (participating) providers agreements.
These clauses provide that, for a service that is a covered benefit in the plan brochure or
for services determined not medically necessary, the in-network provider agrees to hold
the covered individual harmless (and may not bill) for the difference between the billed
charge and the in network contracted amount. If an in-network provider bills you for
covered services over your normal cost share (deductible, copay, coinsurance) contact
Humana to enforce the terms of its provider contract.
Balance Billing
Protection
You do not have to select a primary care physician and may self refer. To obtain the
highest level of coverage, however, a member must seek care from a participating
provider. Some care requires you or your provider to obtain prior authorization.
What you must do to get
covered care
Your primary care physician can be a general practitioner, family practitioner, internist, or
pediatrician. Your primary care physician will provide most of your healthcare.
If you want to change primary care physicians or if your pharmacy care physician leaves
the Plan call us. We will help you select a new one.
Primary care
18 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 3
You may see any participating specialist without a referral, including:
Mental health providers
Vision care providers
OB/GYN providers for your annual well-woman exam
Another doctor your primary care physician has designated to provide patient care
when he or she is not available.
Here are things you should know about specialty care:
If you have a chronic and disabling condition and lose access to your specialist because
we:
terminate our contract with your specialist for other than cause;
drop out of the Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program and you enroll in
another FEHB program plan; or
reduce our service area and you enroll in another FEHB plan;
you may be able to continue seeing your specialist for up to 90 days after you receive
notice of the change. Contact us, or if we drop out of the Program, contact your new plan.
If you are in the second or third trimester of pregnancy and you lose access to your
specialist based on the above circumstances, you can continue to see your specialist until
the end of your postpartum care and continue to receive participating provider benefits,
even if it is beyond the 90 days.
Specialty care
Your Plan primary care physician or specialist will make necessary hospital arrangements
and supervise your care. This includes admission to a skilled nursing or other type of
facility.
Hospital care
We pay for covered services from the effective date of your enrollment. However, if you
are in the hospital when your enrollment in our Plan begins, call our customer service
department immediately at 1-800-426-2173. If you are new to the FEHB Program, we will
arrange for you to receive care and provide benefits for your covered services while you
are in the hospital beginning on the effective date of your coverage.
If you changed from another FEHB plan to us, your former plan will pay for the hospital
stay until:
you are discharged, not merely moved to an alternative care center;
the day your benefits from your former plan run out; or
the 92
nd
day after you become a member of this Plan, whichever happens first.
These provisions apply only to the benefits of the hospitalized person. If your plan
terminates participation in the FEHB Program in whole or in part, or if OPM orders an
enrollment change, this continuation of coverage provision does not apply. In such cases,
the hospitalized family members benefits under the new plan begin on the effective date
of enrollment.
If you are hospitalized
when your enrollment
begins
Since we do not have a primary care physician requirement and we allow you to use non-
Plan providers, you need to obtain our approval before you receive certain services. The
pre-service claim approval processes for inpatient hospital admissions (called
precertification) and for other services, are detailed in this Section. A pre-service claim is
any claim in whole or in part, that requires approval from us in advance of obtaining
medical care of services. In other words, a pre-service claim for benefits (1) requires
precertification, prior approval or a referral and (2) will result in a denial or reduction of
benefits if you do not obtain precertification, prior approval or a referral.
You need prior Plan
approval for certain
services
19 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 3
Precertification is the process by which – prior to your inpatient hospital admission – we
evaluate the medical necessity of your proposed stay and the number of days required to
treat your condition.
Inpatient hospital
admission
Your primary care physician has authority to refer you for most services. For certain
services, however, your physician must obtain prior approval from us. Before giving
approval, we consider if the service is covered, medically necessary, and follows generally
accepted medical practice. You must obtain prior authorization for:
Organ/tissue transplants
All elective medical and surgical hospitalizations (Including Inpatient Hospice)
Non-emergent admissions for mental health, skilled nursing, acute rehabilitation
facilities and long term acute care facilities
MRI, MRA, PET, CT Scan, and SPECT Scan
Surgical treatment for morbid obesity
All durable medical equipment (DME) over $750
Home healthcare services (Including Home Hospice)
Infertility testing and treatment
Some specialty drugs when delivered in the physician's office, clinic, outpatient or
home setting
All surgeries which may be considered plastic or cosmetic surgery only for repair of
accidental injury
Oral surgeries
Outpatient Therapy Services for Physical, Occupational and Speech
Genetic/Molecular Diagnostic Testing – (Genetic testing is covered under the
laboratory services benefit, limitations may apply)
Chiropractic
Radiation Therapy
Acupuncture
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD)
Coronary angiography
Colonoscopy repeat testing
For a complete list of service requiring authorization, please visit our website www.
humana.com.
Other services
First, your physician, your hospital, you, or your representative must call us at
1-800-4HUMANA before admission or services requiring prior authorization are
rendered.
Next, provide the following information:
enrollee’s name and Plan identification number;
patient’s name, birth date, identification number and phone number;
reason for hospitalization, proposed treatment, or surgery;
name and phone number of admitting physician;
name of hospital or facility; and
number of days requested for hospital stay.
How to request
precertification for an
admission or get prior
authorization for Other
services
20 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 3
For non-urgent care claims, we will tell the physician and/or hospital the number of
approved inpatient days, or the care that we approve for other services that must have
prior authorization. We will make our decision within 15 days of receipt of the pre-service
claim. If matters beyond our control require an extension of time, we may take up to an
additional 15 days for review and we will notify you of the need for an extension of time
before the end of the original 15-day period. Our notice will include the circumstances
underlying the request for the extension and the date when a decision is expected.
If we need an extension because we have not received necessary information from you,
our notice will describe the specific information required and we will allow you up to 60
days from the receipt of the notice to provide the information.
Non-urgent care
claims
If you have an urgent care claim (i.e., when waiting for the regular time limit for your
medical care or treatment could seriously jeopardize your life, health, or ability to regain
maximum function, or in the opinion of a physician with knowledge of your medical
condition, would subject you to severe pain that cannot be adequately managed without
this care or treatment), we will expedite our review and notify you of our decision within
72 hours. If you request that we review your claim as an urgent care claim, we will review
the documentation you provide and decide whether or not it is an urgent care claim by
applying the judgment of a prudent layperson that possesses an average knowledge of
health and medicine.
If you fail to provide sufficient information, we will contact you within 24 hours after we
receive the claim to let you know what information we need to complete our review of the
claim. You will then have up to 48 hours from the receipt of this notice to provide the
necessary information. We will make our decision on the claim within 48 hours of (1) the
time we received the additional information or (2) the end of the time frame you received
the notice to provide the additional information, whichever is earlier.
We may provide our decision orally within these time frames, but we will follow up with
written or electronic notification within three days of oral notification.
You may request that your urgent care claim on appeal be reviewed simultaneously by us
and OPM. Please let us know that you would like a simultaneous review of your urgent
care claim by OPM either in writing at the time you appeal our initial decision, or by
calling us at 1-800-4HUMANA or 1-800-448-6262. You may also call OPM’s Health
Insurance 3 at 1-(202) 606-0755 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern Time to ask for the
simultaneous review. We will cooperate with OPM so they can quickly review your claim
on appeal. In addition, if you did not indicate that your claim was a claim for urgent
care, call us at 1-800-4HUMANA or 1-800-448-6262. If it is determined that your claim is
an urgent care claim, we will expedite our review (if we have not yet responded to your
claim).
Urgent care claims
A concurrent care claim involves care provided over a period of time or over a number of
treatments. We will treat any reduction or termination of our pre-approved course of
treatment before the end of the approved period of time or number of treatments as an
appealable decision. This does not include reduction or termination due to benefit changes
or if your enrollment ends. If we believe a reduction or termination is warranted, we will
allow you sufficient time to appeal and obtain a decision from us before the reduction or
termination takes effect.
If you request an extension of an ongoing course of treatment at least 24 hours prior to the
expiration of the approved time period and this is also an urgent care claim, we will make
a decision within 24 hours after we receive the claim.
Concurrent care

medications, vision and dental expenses, and much more) for you and your tax
dependents, including adult children (through the end of the calendar year in which
they turn 26).
FSAFEDS offers paperless reimbursement for your HCFSA through a number of
FEHB and FEDVIP plans. This means that when you or your provider files claims
with your FEHB or FEDVIP plan, FSAFEDS will automatically reimburse your
eligible out-of-pocket expenses based on the claim information it receives from your
plan.

Section 4. Your Cost for Covered Services
This is what you will pay out-of-pocket for covered care:
Cost-sharing is the general term used to refer to your out-of-pocket costs (e.g. deductible
and coinsurance) for the covered care you receive.
Cost-sharing
Coinsurance is the percentage of our allowance that you must pay for your
care. Coinsurance does not begin until you have met your calendar year deductible.
Participating providers example: You pay 50% of charges for in-network infertility
services under the HDHP.
Non-participating providers example: You pay 40% of charges for out-of-network
infertility services under the HDHP.
Coinsurance
A deductible is a fixed expense you must incur for certain covered services and supplies
before we start paying benefits for them. Deductible and out-of-pocket limits for
participating and non-participating benefits are calculated separately.
Participating providers – If you use participating providers, the calendar year deductible is
$3,000 for Self Only. The deductible for Self Plus One or Self and Family coverage is
$6,000.
Non-participating providers – If you use non-participating providers, the calendar year
deductible of $9,000 for Self Only must be met. The deductible for Self Plus One or Self
and Family coverage is $18,000.
Note: If you change plans during Open Season, you do not have to start a new deductible
under your prior plan between January 1 and the effective date of your new plan. If you
change plans at another time during the year, you must begin a new deductible under your
new plan.
Deductible
Participating providers – have agreed to accept a negotiated payment from us; you are
only responsible for your coinsurance. You never have to pay the difference between the
plan allowance and the billed amount.
Non-participating providers – You will be responsible for any difference between the
amount non-participating providers charge and our allowance, in addition to the
applicable coinsurance amounts.
You should also see section Important Notice About Surprise Billing – Know Your Rights
below that describes your protections against surprise billing under the No Surprises Act.
Differences between our
Plan allowance and the
bill
Out-of-pocket maximums are the amount of out-of-pocket expenses that a Self Only, Self
Plus One or a Self and Family will have to pay in a plan year. Out -of-pocket maximums
apply on a calendar year basis only. The non-participating maximum out-of-pocket
expense limits exclude expenses for covered organ transplants.
Participating providers – After your (deductibles and coinsurance) total $7,000 for Self
Only, or $14,000 for a Self Plus One or Self and Family enrollment in any calendar year,
you do not have to pay any more for covered services.
Non-participating providers – After your (deductibles and coinsurance) total $21,000 for
Self Only, or $42,000 for a Self Plus One or Self and Family enrollment in any calendar
year, you do not have to pay any more for covered services.
The maximum annual limitation on cost sharing listed under Self Only of $7,000 for
participating providers and $14,000 for non-participating providers applies to each
individual, regardless of whether the individual is enrolled in Self Only, Self Plus
One, or Self and Family.
Your catastrophic
protection out-of-pocket
maximum
24 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 4
Example Scenario: Your plan has a $7,000 Self Only maximum out-of-pocket limit and a
$14,000 Self Plus One or Self and Family maximum out-of-pocket limit. If you or one of
your eligible family members has out-of-pocket qualified medical expenses of $7,000 or
more for the calendar year, any remaining qualified medical expenses for that individual
will be covered fully by your health plan. With a Self and Family enrollment out-of-
pocket maximum of $14,000, a second family member, or an aggregate of other eligible
family members, will continue to accrue out-of-pocket qualified medical expenses up to a
maximum of $7,000 for the calendar year before their qualified medical expenses will
begin to be covered in full.
Be sure to keep accurate records and receipts of your coinsurance since you are
responsible for informing us when you reach the maximum.
If you changed to this plan during Open Season from a plan with a catastrophic protection
benefit and the effective date of the change was after January 1, any expenses that would
have applied to that plan’s catastrophic protection benefit during the prior year will be
covered by your prior plan if they are for care you received in January before your
effective date of coverage in this Plan. If you have already met your prior plan’s
catastrophic protection benefit level in full, it will continue to apply until the effective date
of your coverage in this Plan. If you have not met this expense level in full, your prior
plan will first apply your covered out-of-pocket expenses until the prior years
catastrophic level is reached and then apply the catastrophic protection benefit to covered
out-of-pocket expenses incurred from that point until the effective date of your coverage
in this Plan. Your prior plan will pay these covered expenses according to this years
benefits; benefit changes are effective January 1.
Carryover
Facilities of the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense and the Indian
Health Services are entitled to seek reimbursement from us for certain services and
supplies they provide to you or a family member. They may not seek more than their
governing laws allow. You may be responsible to pay for certain services and charges.
Contact the government facility directly for more information.
When Government
facilities bill us
The No Surprises Act (NSA) is a federal law that provides you with protections against
“surprise billing” and “balance billing” under certain circumstances. A surprise bill is an
unexpected bill you receive from a nonparticipating healthcare provider, facility, or air
ambulance service for healthcare. Surprise bills can happen when you receive emergency
care – when you have little or no say in the facility or provider from whom you receive
care. They can also happen when you receive non-emergency services at participating
facilities, but you receive some care from nonparticipating providers.
Balance billing happens when you receive a bill from the nonparticipating provider,
facility, or air ambulance service for the difference between the nonparticipating
provider's charge and the amount payable by your health plan.
Your health plan must comply with the NSA protections that hold you harmless from
unexpected bills.
In addition, your health plan adopts and complies with the surprise billing laws of
Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, and Texas.
For specific information on surprise billing, the rights and protections you have, and your
responsibilities go to https://humana.com or contact the health plan at 1-800-4HUMANA.

27 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan HDHP Section 5
Section 5. High Deductible Health Plan Benefits Overview
HDHP
This Plan offers a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). The HDHP benefit package is described in this section.
Make sure that you review the benefits that are available under the option in which you are enrolled.
The HDHP Section 5, which describes the HDHP benefits is divided into subsections. Please read
Important things you
should keep in mind about these benefits
at the beginning of the subsections. Also read the general exclusions in Section 6;
they apply to the benefits in the following subsections. To obtain claim forms, claims filing advice, or more information
about HDHP benefits, contact us at 1-800-4HUMANA or on our website at https://feds.humana.com/.
Our HDHP option provides comprehensive healthcare coverage for high-cost medical events and a tax-advantaged way to
help you build savings for future medical expenses. The Plan gives you greater control over how you use your healthcare
benefits.
When you enroll in this HDHP, we establish either a Health Savings Account (HSA) or a Health Reimbursement
Arrangement (HRA) for you. We automatically pass through a portion of the total health Plan premium to your HSA or credit
an equal amount to your HRA based upon your eligibility. Your full annual HRA credit will be available on your effective
date of enrollment.
With this Plan, preventive care is covered in full. As you receive other non-preventive medical care, you must meet the Plan’s
deductible before we pay benefits according to the benefits described on page 38. You can choose to use funds available in
your HSA to make payments toward the deductible or you can pay toward your deductible entirely out-of-pocket, allowing
your savings to continue to grow.
This HDHP includes five key components: preventive care; traditional medical coverage healthcare that is subject to the
deductible; savings; catastrophic protection for out-of-pocket expenses; and health education resources and account
management tools.
Preventive care
The Plan covers preventive care services, such as periodic health evaluations (e.g., annual physicals), screening services (e.
g., mammograms), routine prenatal and well-child care, child and adult immunizations, tobacco cessation programs, obesity
weight loss programs, disease management and wellness programs. These services are covered at 100% if you use a network
provider and the services are described in Section 5 -
Preventive care
.
You do not have to meet the deductible before using
these services.
Traditional medical coverage
After you have paid the Plan’s deductible, we pay benefits under traditional medical coverage described in Section 5. The
Plan typically pays 90% after deductible for in-network and 60% after deductible for out-of-network care.
Covered services include:
Medical services and supplies provided by physicians and other healthcare professionals
Surgical and anesthesia services provided by physicians and other healthcare professionals
Hospital services; other facility or ambulance services
Emergency services/accidents
Mental health and substance use disorder benefits
Prescription drug benefits
Savings
Health Savings Accounts or Health Reimbursement Arrangements provide a means to help you pay out-of-pocket expenses
(see page 31 for more details).
28 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan HDHP Section 5 Overview
HDHP
Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)
By law, HSAs are available to members who are not enrolled in Medicare, cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone
else’s tax return, have not received VA (except for veterans with a service-connected disability) and/or Indian Health Services
(IHS) benefits within the last three months or do not have other health insurance coverage other than another High
Deductible Health Plan. In 2022, for each month you are eligible for an HSA premium pass through, we will contribute to
your HSA $50 per month for a Self Only enrollment or $100 per month for a Self Plus One enrollment or $100 per month for
a Self and Family enrollment. In addition to our monthly contribution, you have the option to make additional tax-free
contributions to your HSA, so long as total contributions do not exceed the limit established by law, which is $3,600 for an
individual and $7,200 for a family. See maximum contribution information on page 32. You can use funds in your HSA to
help pay your health plan deductible. You own your HSA, so the funds can go with you if you change plans or employment.
Federal tax tip: There are tax advantages to fully funding your HSA as quickly as possible. Your HSA contribution
payments are fully deductible on your Federal tax return. By fully funding your HSA early in the year, you have the
flexibility of paying medical expenses from tax-free HSA dollars or after tax out-of-pocket dollars. If you don’t deplete your
HSA and you allow the contributions and the tax-free interest to accumulate, your HSA grows more quickly for future
expenses.
HSA features include:
Your HSA is administered by Humana
Your contributions to the HSA are tax deductible
Your HSA earns tax-free interest.
You can make tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses for you, your spouse and dependents (see IRS
publication 502 for a complete list of eligible expenses)
Your unused HSA funds and interest accumulate from year to year
It’s portable - the HSA is owned by you and is yours to keep, even when you leave Federal employment or retire
When you need it, funds up to the actual HSA balance are available.
Important consideration if you want to participate in a HealthCare Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA): If you are
enrolled in this HDHP with a Health Savings Account (HSA), and start or become covered by a HCFSA healthcare flexible
spending account (such as FSAFEDS offers – see Section 11), this HDHP cannot continue to contribute to your HSA.
Similarly, you cannot contribute to an HSA if your spouse enrolls in an HCFSA. Instead, when you inform us of your
coverage in an HCFSA, we will establish an HRA for you.
Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA)
If you are not eligible for an HSA, for example, you are enrolled in Medicare or have another health plan, we will administer
and provide an HRA instead. You must notify us that you are ineligible for an HSA.
In 2022, we will give you an HRA credit of $50 per month for a Self Only enrollment or $100 per month for a Self Plus One
enrollment or $100 per month for a Self and Family enrollment. You can use funds in your HRA to help pay your health plan
deductible and/or for certain expenses that don’t count toward the deductible.
HRA features include:
For our HDHP option, the HRA is administered by Humana.
Entire HRA credit (prorated from your effective date to the end of the plan year) is available from your effective date of
enrollment.
Tax-free credit can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses for you and any individuals covered by this HDHP.
Unused credits carryover from year to year.
HRA credit does not earn interest.
HRA credit is forfeited if you leave Federal employment or switch health insurance plans.
29 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan HDHP Section 5 Overview
HDHP
An HRA does not affect your ability to participate in an FSAFEDS HealthCare Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA).
However, you must meet FSAFEDS eligibility requirements.
Catastrophic protection for out-of-pocket expenses
When you use network providers, your annual maximum for out-of-pocket expenses (deductibles and coinsurance) for
covered services is limited to $7,000 per person or $14,000 per Self Plus One enrollment or, $14,000 Self and Family
enrollment. However, certain expenses do not count toward your out-of-pocket maximum and you must continue to pay these
expenses once you reach your out-of-pocket maximum (such as expenses in excess of the Plan’s allowable amount or benefit
maximum). Refer to Section 4 -
Your catastrophic protection out-of-pocket maximum
and HDHP Section 5 -
Traditional
medical coverage subject to the deductible for more details
.
Health education resources and account management tools
HDHP Section 5(i) describes the health education resources and account management tools available to you to help you
manage your healthcare and your healthcare dollars.
Network Availability
Humana contracts with both private office physicians and with physician groups. Referrals are not required for participating
providers. The HDHP will utilize the National POS-Open Access network.
Pharmacy
Your pharmacy plan is an Rx5 Plan, which allows members access to appropriate drugs used to treat conditions the medical
plan covers. See drug levels listed below:
Level One – preferred generic and lowest-cost generic
Level Two – non-preferred generic and low-cost generic
Level Three – preferred brand and higher-cost generic
Level Four – non-preferred brand and some non-preferred higher-cost generics
Level Five – most self-administered injectable medications and high-technology drugs that are often newly approved by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The maximum that can be contributed
to your HSA is an annual combination
of HDHP premium pass through and
enrollee contribution funds, which
when combined, do not exceed the
maximum contribution amount set by
the IRS of $3,600 for an individual and
$7,200 for a family.
If you enroll during Open Season, you
are eligible to fund your account up to

the IRS. To determine the amount you
may contribute, subtract the amount the
Plan will contribute to your account for
the year from the maximum allowable
contribution.
You are eligible to contribute up to the
IRS limit for partial year coverage as
long as you maintain your HDHP
enrollment for 12 months following the
last month of the year of your first year
of eligibility. To determine the amount
you may contribute, take the IRS limit
and subtract the amount the Plan will
contribute to your account for the year.
If you do not meet the 12 month
requirement, the maximum contribution
amount is reduced by 1/12 for any
month you were ineligible to contribute
to an HSA. If you exceed the maximum
contribution amount, a portion of your
tax reduction is lost and a 10% penalty
is imposed. There is an exception for
death or disability.
You may rollover funds you have in
other HSAs to this HDHP HSA
(rollover funds do not affect your
annual maximum contribution under
this HDHP).

funds for non-medical expenses will
create a 20% income tax penalty in

When you turn age 65, distributions can

Funds are not available for withdrawal
until all the following steps are
completed:
Your enrollment in this HDHP is
effective (effective date is
determined by your agency in
accord with the event permitting the
enrollment change).
The HDHP receives record of your
enrollment and initially establishes
your HSA account with the
fiduciary by providing information
it must furnish and by contributing
the minimum amount required to
establish an HSA.
The fiduciary sends you HSA
paperwork for you to complete and the
fiduciary receives the completed
paperwork back from you.
The entire amount of your HRA will be
available to you upon your enrollment
in the HDHP.

If you retire and remain in this HDHP,
you may continue to use and

Annual rollover
If you have and HSA
All contributions are aggregated and cannot exceed the maximum contribution amount set
by the IRS. You may contribute your own money to your account through payroll
deductions, or you may make lump sum contributions at any time, in any amount not to
exceed an annual maximum limit. If you contribute, you can claim the total amount you
contributed for the year as a tax deduction when you file your income taxes. Your own
HSA contributions are either tax-deductible or pre-tax (if made by payroll deduction). You
receive tax advantages in any case. To determine the amount you may contribute, subtract
the amount the Plan will contribute to your account for the year from the maximum
contribution amount set by the IRS. You have until April 15 of the following year to make
HSA contributions for the current year.
If you newly enroll in an HDHP during Open Season and your effective data is after
January 1st or you otherwise have partial year coverage, you are eligible to fund your
account up to the maximum contribution limit set by the IRS as long as you maintain your
HDHP enrollment for 12 months following the last month of the year of your first year of
eligibility. If you do not meet this requirement, a portion of your tax reduction is lost and a
10% penalty is imposed. There is an exception for death or disability.
Contributions
34 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan HDHP Section 5 Savings - HSAs and HRAs
HDHP
If you are age 55 or older, the IRS permits you to make additional “catch-up”
contributions to your HSA. The allowable catch-up contribution is $1,000. Contributions
must stop once an individual is enrolled in Medicare. Additional details are available on
the U.S. Department of Treasury website at www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Taxes/
Pages/Health-Savings-Accounts.aspx.
Catch-up contributions
If you have not named beneficiary and you are married, your HSA becomes your spouse’s;
otherwise, your HSA becomes part of your taxable estate.
If you die
You can pay for “qualified medical expenses,” as defined by IRS Code 213(d). These
expenses include, but are not limited to, medical plan deductibles, diagnostic services
covered by your plan, long-term care premiums, health insurance premiums if you are
receiving Federal unemployment compensation, physician prescribed over-the-counter
drugs, LASIK surgery, and some nursing services.
When you enroll in Medicare, you can use the account to pay Medicare premiums or to
purchase health insurance other than a Medigap policy. You may not, however, continue to
make contributions to your HSA once you are enrolled in Medicare.
For a detailed list of IRS-allowable expenses, request a copy of IRS Publication 502 by
calling
1-800-829-3676, or visit the IRS website at www.irs.gov and click on “Forms and
Publications.”
Note: Although physician prescribed over-the-counter drugs are not listed in the
publication, they are reimbursable from your HSA. Also, insurance premiums are
reimbursable under limited circumstances.
Qualified expenses
You may withdraw money from your HSA for items other than qualified health expenses,
but it will be subject to income tax and if you are under 65 years old, an additional 20%
penalty tax on the amount withdrawn.
Non-qualified expenses
You will receive a periodic statement that shows the “premium pass through”,
withdrawals, and interest earned on your account. In addition, you will receive an
Explanation of Payment statement when you withdraw money from your HSA.

IF you have an HRA
If you don’t qualify for an HSA when you enroll in this HDHP, or later become ineligible
for an HSA, we will establish an HRA for you. If you are enrolled in Medicare, you are
ineligible for an HSA and we will establish an HRA for you. You must tell us if you
become ineligible to contribute to an HSA.
Why an HRA is
established
Please review the chart on page 31 which details the differences between an HRA and an
HSA. The major differences are:
you cannot make contributions to an HRA
funds are forfeited if you leave the HDHP
an HRA does not earn interest
HRAs can only pay for qualified medical expenses, such as deductibles and coinsurance
expenses, for individuals covered by the HDHP. FEHB law does not permit qualified
medical expenses to include services, drugs, or supplies related to abortions, except when
the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term, or when the
pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest.

Section 5. Traditional Medical Coverage Subject to the Deductible
HDHP
Important things you should keep in mind about these benefits:
Please remember that all benefits are subject to the definitions, limitations, and exclusions in this
brochure and are payable only when we determine they are medically necessary.
In-network preventive care is covered at 100% (see page 36) and is not subject to the calendar year
deductible.
The deductible is $3,000 per person ($6,000 per Self Plus One enrollment, or $6,000 per Self and
Family enrollment). The family deductible can be satisfied by one or more family members. The
deductible applies to almost all benefits under Traditional medical coverage. You must pay your
deductible before your Traditional medical coverage may begin.
Under Traditional medical coverage, you are responsible for your coinsurance for covered
expenses.
When you use network providers, you are protected by an annual catastrophic maximum on out-of-
pocket expenses for covered services. After your coinsurance and deductibles total $7,000 per
person, $14,000 per Self Plus One enrollment or $14,000 per Self and Family enrollment in any
calendar year, you do not have to pay any more for covered services from network providers.
However, certain expenses do not count toward your out-of-pocket maximum and you must
continue to pay these expenses once you reach your out- of-pocket maximum (such as expenses in
excess of the Plan’s benefit maximum, or if you use out-of- network providers, amounts in excess of
the Plan allowance).
In-network benefits apply only when you use a network provider. When a network provider is not
available, out-of-network benefits apply.
Be sure to read Section 4, Your costs for covered services, for valuable information about how cost-
sharing works. Also, read Section 9 about coordinating benefits with other coverage, including with
Medicare.
Humana will not waive the medical copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles for member when
original Medicare is the primary payor. Members must enroll in the Humana Value Plan code
associated within the service areas listed on the Value Plan brochure and the Humana Medicare
Advantage Plan to receive waivers for medical copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. See the

The deductible applies to almost all benefits in this
Section. In the You pay column, we say “No

meet the deductible.
100% of allowable charges until you meet the deductible of
$3,000 per person, $6,000 per Self Plus One enrollment or $6,000
per Self and Family enrollment.
After you meet the deductible, we pay the allowable
charge (less your coinsurance) until you meet the
annual catastrophic out-of- pocket maximum.
In-network: After you meet the deductible, you pay the indicated
coinsurance for covered services.
Out-of-network: After you meet the deductible, you pay the
indicated coinsurance based on our Plan allowance and any
difference between our allowance and the billed amount.

What is a medical emergency?
A medical emergency is the sudden and unexpected onset of a condition or an injury that you believe endangers your life or
could result in serious injury or disability, and requires immediate medical or surgical care. Some problems are emergencies
because, if not treated promptly, they might become more serious; examples include deep cuts and broken bones. Others are
emergencies because they are potentially life-threatening, such as heart attacks, strokes, poisonings, gunshot wounds, or
sudden inability to breathe. There are many other acute conditions that we may determine are medical emergencies – what
they all have in common is the need for quick action.
What to do in case of emergency:
If a medical emergency requires that an insured person be admitted to a hospital, we must be advised by the hospital of the
admission immediately. We will then review the medical necessity of the admission. If the insured person has been admitted
to a non-participating hospital, and it has been determined that the insured person’s condition has stabilized sufficiently to
allow the insured person to be transferred safely to a participating hospital, we will request that the insured person and the
insured person’s physician approve the transfer. If the transfer is not approved, the non-participating hospital deductible
amount will be applied to the benefits payable for any days of hospital confinement beyond the date the insured person’s

Emergencies within our service area: If you are in an emergency situation, please call your primary care doctor. In extreme
emergencies, if you are unable to contact your doctor, contact the local emergency system (e.g., the 911 phone system) or go
to the nearest hospital emergency room. Be sure to tell the emergency room personnel that you are a Plan member so they
can notify the Plan. You or a family member must notify the Plan within 48 hours unless it was not reasonably possible to do
so. It is your responsibility to ensure that the Plan has been timely notified.

If you need to be hospitalized, the Plan must be notified within 48 hours or on the first working day following your
admission, unless it was not reasonably possible to notify the Plan within that time. If you are hospitalized in non-Plan

feasible with any ambulance charges covered in full.
Benefits are available for care from non-Plan providers in a medical emergency only if a delay in reaching a Plan provider
would result in death, disability or significant jeopardy to your condition.
To be covered by this Plan, any follow-up care recommended by non-Plan providers must be approved by the Plan or
provided by Plan providers.
Emergencies outside our service area: Benefits are available for any medically necessary health service that is immediately
required because of injury or unforeseen illness.
If you need to be hospitalized, the Plan must be notified within 48 hours or on the first working day following your

Section 5(f). Prescription Drug Benefits
HDHP
Important things you should keep in mind about these benefits:
We cover prescribed drugs and medications, as described in the chart beginning on the next page.
Prescription coinsurance amounts do not apply to the benefit allowance or the deductibles when
using participating pharmacies.
Please remember that all benefits are subject to the definitions, limitations and exclusions in this
brochure and are payable only when we determine they are medically necessary.
Members must make sure their prescribers obtain prior approval/authorizations for certain
prescription drugs and supplies before coverage applies. Prior approval/authorizations must be
renewed periodically.
Federal law prevents the pharmacy from accepting unused medications.
Be sure to read Section 4,
Your cost for covered services,
for valuable information about how cost-
sharing works. Also, read Section 9 about coordinating benefits with other coverage, including with
Medicare.
Humana will not waive the medical copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles for member when
original Medicare is the primary payor. Members must enroll in the Humana Value Plan code
associated within the service areas listed on the Value Plan brochure and the Humana Medicare
Advantage Plan to receive waivers for medical copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. See the
Value Plan brochure (RI 73-829) for more details.
There are important features you should be aware of. These include:
Who can write your prescription? A licensed physician or dentist, and in states allowing it, licensed/certified providers
with prescriptive authority prescribing within their scope of practice.
Where you can obtain them. You must fill the prescription at a plan pharmacy, or by mail for a prescribed maintenance
medication. Maintenance medications are drugs that are generally prescribed for the treatment of long term chronic
sicknesses or injuries. Members can also fill their maintenance medications for 90 days at a retail pharmacy for their
appropriate coinsurance.
We use a formulary. We cover non-formulary drugs prescribed by a Plan doctor.
The Rx5 Plan allows members access to appropriate drugs which are used to treat conditions the medical plan covers.
Thousands of drugs have been placed in levels based on their a) efficacy, b) safety, c) possible side effects, d) drug
interactions, and e) cost compared to similar drugs. New drugs are continually reviewed for level placement, dispensing
limits, step therapy and prior authorization requirements that represent the current clinical judgment of our Pharmacy and
Therapeutics Committee. Some medications are considered non-formulary because there are other lower cost therapeutic
alternatives available on the formulary.
Level One contains/covers Preferred generic and lowest cost generic drugs.
Level Two contains/covers Non-preferred generic and low cost generic drugs.
Level Three contains/covers Preferred brand and higher cost generic drugs.
Level Four contains/covers Non-preferred brand and some non-preferred higher cost generic drugs.
Level Five contains specialty drugs and includes most self administered injectable medications and high technology drugs
that are often newly approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. For some specialty drugs, see You need prior plan
approval for certain services in Section 3.
67 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan HDHP Section 5(f)
HDHP
With Rx5 the member takes on more of the cost share for the drug. In return, members receive access to more drugs to treat
their conditions and have more choices, along with their physicians, to decide which drug to take. Members receive letters
offering guidance in changing medications to those with a lower cost share. We use internal data to identify members for
whom a less expensive prescription drug option may be available. We communicate the information to the member to enable
them, along with their physician, to make an informed choice regarding prescription drug cost share.
Prior Authorization – Some medications need special monitoring and may require prior authorization. These drugs have
different approval criteria based on indication, safety and appropriate use. Prior authorization (PA) requires a physician to
obtain pre-approval in order to provide coverage for a drug prescribed to a member. Visit http://feds.humana.com to view
the annual drug list for medications that require prior authorization.
Step Therapy: Step Therapy directs therapy to the most cost-effective and safest drug available to be used prior to moving
to a more costly or risky therapy. Step Therapy is an automated process and requires the member to try alternative
medications before the more costly medications are considered.
These are the dispensing limitations. Prescription drugs dispensed at a Plan pharmacy will be dispensed for up to a 30-day
supply. You may receive up to a 90-day supply of a prescribed maintenance medication through our mail-order program or
at one of our retail pharmacies. Specialty drugs may be limited to a 30-day supply. You must use dispensing limitations as
directed, unless provider instructs otherwise.
Why use generic drugs? Generic medications have the same benefits, ingredients and safety as brand-name medications
but without the high dollar cost. With the price of prescription medicine rising, it’s nice to find where you can save money
without compromising on quality.
When you do have to file a claim? For out of network claims, please contact Humana’s customer service for
reimbursement.
If there is a national emergency or you are called to active military duty, you may call 1-800-448-6262. A
representative will review criteria to determine whether you may obtain more than your normal dispensing amount.
Non-formulary. Medicine(s) are not in your plan's drug list (which means you pay the full cost of the prescription.) Your
doctor can ask Humana to make an exception to cover your non-formulary medicine if they believe the alternative covered
drugs won't be as effective in treating your health condition and/or would cause a bad reaction.
A generic equivalent will be dispensed if it is available. When brand name drugs are purchased and a generic is available,
you must pay the difference between the brand name and generic cost plus any applicable brand coinsurance, unless the
physician writes "dispense as written" on the prescription. The physician must write "dispense as written" on the
prescription for you to receive a brand name drug and only pay the brand name coinsurance, if a generic is available.
You can visit our web site at http://feds.humana.com to check the cost share for your prescription drug coverage before you
get your prescription filled. You can also find out more about possible drug alternatives and the locations of participating
pharmacies.
Non-participating pharmacy coverage. You may purchase prescribed medications from a non-participating pharmacy. You
will pay for your prescriptions the following way:
You pay 100% of the dispensing pharmacy charges and file a claim with Humana. The claim is paid at 70% of
charges after deductible.

We may identify medically appropriate alternatives to regular contract benefits as a
less costly alternative. If we identify a less costly alternative, we will ask you to sign

to other terms as necessary. Until you sign and return the agreement regular contract
benefits will continue.
Alternative benefits will be made available for a limited time period and are subject to
our ongoing review. You must cooperate with the review process.
By approving an alternative benefit, we do not guarantee you will get it in the future.
The decision to offer an alternative benefit is solely ours, and except as expressly
provided in the agreement, we may withdraw it at any time and resume regular
contract benefits.
If you sign the agreement, we will provide the agreed-upon alternative benefits for the
stated time period (unless circumstances change). You may request an extension of the
time period, but regular contract benefits will resume if we do not approve your
request.
Our decision to offer or withdraw alternative benefits is not subject to OPM review
under the disputed claims process. However, if at the time we make a decision
regarding alternative benefits, we also decide that regular contract benefits are not
payable, then you may dispute our regular contract benefits decision under the OPM

The exclusions in this section apply to all benefits. There may be other exclusions and limitations listed in Section 5 of this

76 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 6
Section 7. Filing a Claim for Covered Services
This Section primarily deals with post-service claims (claims for services, drugs or supplies you have already received). See
Section 3 for information on pre-service claims procedures (services, drugs or supplies requiring prior Plan approval),
including urgent care claims procedures. When you see Plan providers, receive services at Plan hospitals and facilities, or
obtain your prescription drugs at Plan pharmacies, you will not have to file claims. Just present your identification card and
pay your coinsurance or deductible.
You will only need to file a claim when you receive emergency services from non-plan providers. Sometimes these providers
bill us directly. Check with the provider.
If you need to file the claim, here is the process:
In most cases, providers and facilities file claims for you. Provider must file on the form
CMS-1500, Health Insurance Claim Form. Your facility will file on the UB-04 form. For
claims questions and assistance, call us at 1-800-4HUMANA or 1-800-448-6262.
When you must file a claim – such as for services you received outside the Plan’s service
area – submit it on the CMS-1500 or a claim form that includes the information shown
below. Bills and receipts should be itemized and show:
Covered member’s name, date of birth, address, phone number and ID number
Name and address of the provider or facility that provided the service or supply
Dates you received the services or supplies
Diagnosis
Type of each service or supply
The charge for each service or supply
A copy of the explanation of benefits, payments, or denial from any primary payor –
such as the Medicare Summary Notice (MSN)
Receipts, if you paid for your services
Note: Canceled checks, cash register receipts, or balance due statements are not
acceptable substitutes for itemized bills.

or call us at 1-800-4HUMANA or 1-800-448-6262.
Prescription drugs and
other supplies or services
Send us all of the documents for your claim as soon as possible. You must submit the
claim by December 31 of the year after the year you received the service, unless timely
filing was prevented by administrative operations of Government or legal incapacity,
provided the claim was submitted as soon as reasonably possible.
Deadline for filing your
claim
We will notify you of our decision within 30 days after we receive your post-
service claim. If matters beyond our control require an extension of time, we may take up
to an additional 15 days for review and we will notify you before the expiration of the
original 30-day period. Our notice will include the circumstances underlying the request
for the extension and the date when a decision is expected.
If we need an extension because we have not received necessary information from you,
our notice will describe the specific information required and we will allow you up to 60
days from the receipt of the notice to provide the information.
If you do not agree with our initial decision, you may ask us to review it by following the
disputed claims process detailed in Section 8 of this brochure.
Post-service claims
procedures
77 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 7
You may designate an authorized representative to act on your behalf for filing a claim or
to appeal claims decisions to us. For urgent care claims, we will permit a healthcare
professional with knowledge of your medical condition to act as your authorized
representative without your express consent. For the purposes of this section, we are also
referring to your authorized representative when we refer to you.
Authorized
Representative
If you live in a county where at least 10 percent of the population is literate only in a non-
English language (as determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services), we will
provide language assistance in that non-English language. You can request a copy of your
Explanation of Benefits (EOB) statement, related correspondence, oral language services
(such as phone customer assistance), and help with filing claims and appeals (including
external reviews) in the applicable non-English language. The English versions of your
EOBs and related correspondence will include information in the non-English language
about how to access language services in that non-English language.
Any notice of an adverse benefit determination or correspondence from us confirming an
adverse benefit determination will include information sufficient to identify the claim
involved (including the date of service, the healthcare provider, and the claim amount, if
applicable), and a statement describing the availability, upon request, of the diagnosis and
procedure codes.
Notice Requirements
78 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 7
Section 8. The Disputed Claims Process
You may appeal directly to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) if we do not follow required claims processes. For
more information or to make an inquiry about situations in which you are entitled to immediately appeal to OPM, including
additional requirements not listed in Sections 3, 7 and 8 of this brochure, please call your plan’s customer service
representative at the phone number found on your enrollment card, plan brochure, or plan website.
Please follow this Federal Employees Health Benefits Program disputed claims process if you disagree with our decision on
your post-service claim (a claim where services, drugs or supplies have already been provided). In Section 3 If you disagree
with our pre-service claim decision, we describe the process you need to follow if you have a claim for services, referrals,
drugs or supplies that must have prior Plan approval, such as inpatient hospital admissions.
To help you prepare your appeal, you may arrange with us to review and copy, free of charge, all relevant materials and Plan
documents under our control relating to your claim, including those that involve any expert review(s) of your claim. To make
your request, please contact our Customer Service Department by writing Humana Claims Office, P.O. Box 14546,
Lexington KY 40512-4601 or calling 1-800-4HUMANA or 1-800-448-6262.
Our reconsideration will take into account all comments, documents, records, and other information submitted by you
relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit
determination.
When our initial decision is based (in whole or in part) on a medical judgment (i.e., medical necessity, experimental/
investigational), we will consult with a healthcare professional who has appropriate training and experience in the field of
medicine involved in the medical judgment and who was not involved in making the initial decision.
Our reconsideration will not take into account the initial decision. The review will not be conducted by the same person, or
their subordinate, who made the initial decision.
We will not make our decisions regarding hiring, compensation, termination, promotion, or other similar matters with respect
to any individual (such as a claims adjudicator or medical expert) based upon the likelihood that the individual will support
the denial of benefits.
Step Description
Ask us in writing to reconsider our initial decision. You must:
a) Write to us within 6 months from the date of our decision; and
b) Send your request to us at: Humana Claims Office, Attn: Grievance and Appeals, P.O. Box 14546,
Lexington, KY 40512-4601; and
c) Include a statement about why you believe our initial decision was wrong, based on specific benefit
provisions in this brochure; and
d) Include copies of documents that support your claim, such as physicians' letters, operative reports, bills,
medical records, and explanation of benefits (EOB) forms.
e) Include your email address (optional for member), if you would like to receive our decision via
email. Please note that by giving us your email, we may be able to provide our decision more quickly.
We will provide you, free of charge and in a timely manner, with any new or additional evidence considered,
relied upon, or generated by us or at our direction in connection with your claim and any new rationale for
our claim decision. We will provide you with this information sufficiently in advance of the date that we are
required to provide you with our reconsideration decision to allow you a reasonable opportunity to respond
to us before that date. However, our failure to provide you with new evidence or rationale in sufficient time
to allow you to timely respond shall not invalidate our decision on reconsideration. You may respond to that
new evidence or rationale at the OPM review stage described in step 4.

79 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 8
Step Description
In the case of a post-service claim, we have 30 days from the date we receive your request to:
a) Pay the claim or
b) Write to you and maintain our denial or
c) Ask you or your provider for more information
You or your provider must send the information so that we receive it within 60 days of our request. We will
then decide within 30 more days.
If we do not receive the information within 60 days we will decide within 30 days of the date the information
was due. We will base our decision on the information we already have. We will write to you with our
decision.
2
If you do not agree with our decision, you may ask OPM to review it.
You must write to OPM within:
90 days after the date of our letter upholding our initial decision; or
120 days after you first wrote to us - if we did not answer that request in some way within 30 days; or
120 days after we asked for additional information.
Write to OPM at: United States Office of Personnel Management, Healthcare and Insurance, Federal
Employee Insurance Operations, Health Insurance 3, 1900 E Street, NW, Washington, DC 20415-3630.
Send OPM the following information:
A statement about why you believe our decision was wrong, based on specific benefit provisions in this
brochure;
Copies of documents that support your claim, such as physicians' letters, operative reports, bills, medical
records, and explanation of benefits (EOB) forms;
Copies of all letters you sent to us about the claim;
Copies of all letters we sent to you about the claim; and
Your daytime phone number and the best time to call.
Your email address, if you would like to receive OPM’s decision via email. Please note that by providing
your email address, you may receive OPM’s decision more quickly.
Note: If you want OPM to review more than one claim, you must clearly identify which documents apply to
which claim.
Note: You are the only person who has a right to file a disputed claim with OPM. Parties acting as your
representative, such as medical providers, must include a copy of your specific written consent with the
review request. However, for urgent care claims, a healthcare professional with knowledge of your medical
condition may act as your authorized representative without your express consent.
Note: The above deadlines may be extended if you show that you were unable to meet the deadline because
of reasons beyond your control.

OPM will review your disputed claim request and will use the information it collects from you and us to
decide whether our decision is correct. OPM will send you a final decision within 60 days. There are no other
administrative appeals.
If you do not agree with OPM’s decision, your only recourse is to sue. If you decide to file a lawsuit, you
must file the suit against OPM in Federal court by December 31 of the third year after the year in which you
received the disputed services, drugs, or supplies or from the year in which you were denied precertification
or prior approval. This is the only deadline that may not be extended.
4
80 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 8
OPM may disclose the information it collects during the review process to support their disputed claim
decision. This information will become part of the court record.
You may not file a lawsuit until you have completed the disputed claims process. Further, Federal law
governs your lawsuit, benefits, and payment of benefits. The Federal court will base its review on the record
that was before OPM when OPM decided to uphold or overturn our decision. You may recover only the
amount of benefits in dispute.
Note: If you have a serious or life threatening condition (one that may cause permanent loss of bodily functions or death if
not treated as soon as possible), and you did not indicate that your claim was a claim for urgent care, then call us at
1-800-523-0023. We will expedite our review (if we have not yet responded to your claim); or we will inform OPM so they
can quickly review your claim on appeal. You may call OPM’s Health Insurance 3 at 1-(202) 606-0737 between 8 a.m. and 5
p.m. Eastern Time.
Please remember that we do not make decisions about plan eligibility issues. For example, we do not determine whether you
or a dependent is covered under this plan. You must raise eligibility issues with your Agency personnel/payroll office if you
are an employee, your retirement system if you are an annuitant or the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs if you are
receiving Workers' Compensation benefits.
81 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 8
Section 9. Coordinating Benefits with Medicare and Other Coverage
You must tell us if you or a covered family member has coverage under any other
health plan or has automobile insurance that pays healthcare expenses without
regard to fault. This is called “double coverage”.
When you have double coverage, one plan normally pays its benefits in full as the
primary payor and the other plan pays a reduced benefit as the secondary payor. We,
like other insurers, determine which coverage is primary according to the National
Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (NAIC) guidelines. For more information
on NAIC rules regarding the coordinating of benefits, visit our website at https://
feds.humana.com/.
When we are the primary payor, we will pay the benefits described in this brochure.
When we are the secondary payor, we will determine our allowance. After the
primary plan pays, we will pay what is left of our allowance, up to our regular
benefit. We will not pay more than our allowance.
When you have other health
coverage
TRICARE is the healthcare program for eligible dependents of military persons,
and retirees of the military. TRICARE includes the CHAMPUS
program. CHAMPVA provides health coverage to disabled Veterans and their
eligible dependents. IF TRICARE or CHAMPVA and this Plan cover you, we pay
first. See your TRICARE or CHAMPVA Health Benefits Advisor if you have
questions about these programs.
Suspended FEHB coverage to enroll in TRICARE or CHAMPVA: If you are an
annuitant or former spouse, you can suspend your FEHB coverage to enroll in one
of these programs, eliminating your FEHB premium. (OPM does not contribute to
any applicable plan premiums.) For information on suspending your FEHB
enrollment, contact your retirement office. If you later want to re-enroll in the
FEHB Program, generally you may do so only at the next Open Season unless you
involuntarily lose coverage under TRICARE or CHAMPVA.
TRICARE and CHAMPVA
We do not cover services that:
You (or a covered family member) need because of a workplace-related illness
or injury that the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) or a
similar federal or state agency determines they must provide; or
OWCP or similar agency pays for through a third-party injury settlement or
other similar proceeding that is based on a claim you filed under OWCP or
similar laws.
Once OWCP or similar agency pays its maximum benefits for your treatment, we
will cover your care. You must use our providers.
Workers’ Compensation
When you have this Plan and Medicaid, we pay first.
Suspended FEHB coverage to enroll in Medicaid or a similar state-sponsored
program of medical assistance: If you are an annuitant or former spouse, you can
suspend your FEHB coverage to enroll in one of these state programs, eliminating
your FEHB premium. For information on suspending your FEHB enrollment,
contact your retirement office. If you later want to re-enroll in the FEHB Program,
generally you may do so only at the next Open Season unless you involuntarily lose
coverage under the state program.
Medicaid
We do not cover services and supplies when a local, state, or federal government
agency directly or indirectly pays for them.
When other Government
agencies are responsible for
your care
82 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 9
By accepting benefits under this plan you agree to the following conditions and
limitations on the nature of benefits or benefit payments when another person
causes an injury or illness or when you are entitled to recover from any other
insurance or source of funds that may be available to pay for the injury or illness.
Humana is entitled to recover the full value of the benefits we have paid or provided
in connection with your injury or illness. However, when benefits are otherwise
provided by this plan we will cover the cost of treatment that exceeds the amount of
the payment you received. You and all covered persons agree to promptly notify us
that you have asked anyone other than us to make payment for your injuries and to
fully cooperate with our efforts to secure our recovery rights. You and your
representative also agree to obtain our consent before releasing any party from
liability for payment of medical expenses and before disbursing any funds paid by
other parties.
When benefits are provided under the Plan in relation to the illness or injury,
Humana may, at its option:
Subrogate, that is, take over your right to pursue recovery from any other
parties, insurance carriers or sources of funds that you may have a right to
pursue; or
Enforce a right to reimbursement from any payment(s) you or your
representative may obtain from other parties, settlements or insurance coverage.
Our right to recover the full value of the benefits we have paid or provided for shall
take first priority (before any of the rights of any other parties are honored) and are
not impacted by how the judgment, settlement, or other recovery is characterized,
designated, or apportioned. The amount we are entitled to recovery is not subject to
reduction based on attorney fees or costs under the “common fund” or similar rules
and is fully enforceable regardless of whether you are “made whole” or
compensated for the full amount of damages you may have incurred.
Our recovery rights shall apply only to the extent of the full value of benefits
provided for the injury or illness. We will provide benefits to cover the cost of
treatment that exceeds amounts that are recoverable other insurance coverage or
sources of funds.
If you, a covered person or your representative fails to cooperate with the
enforcement of our recovery rights we may delay or deny future benefits until
cooperation is provided or we are reimbursed.
When others are responsible
for injuries
Some FEHB plans already cover some dental and vision services. When you are
covered by more than one vision/dental plan, coverage provided under your FEHB
plan remains as your primary coverage. FEDVIP coverage pays secondary to that
coverage. When you enroll in a dental and/or vision plan on www.BENEFEDS.
com or by phone at 1-877-888-3337, TTY (1-877-889-5680), you will be asked to
provide information on your FEHB plan so that your plans can coordinate
benefits. Providing your FEHB information may reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
When you have Federal
Employees Dental and Vision
Insurance Plan (FEDVIP)
coverage
An approved clinical trial includes a phase I, phase II, phase III, or phase IV clinical
trial that is conducted in relation to the prevention, detection, or treatment of cancer
or other life-threatening disease or condition and is either Federally funded;
conducted under an investigational new drug application reviewed by the Food and
Drug Administration; or is a drug trial that is exempt from the requirement of an
investigational new drug application.
If you are a participant in a clinical trial, this health plan will provide related care as
follows, if it is not provided by the clinical trial:
Clinical trials
83 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 9
Routine care costs – costs for routine services such as doctor visits, lab tests, X-
rays and scans, and hospitalizations related to treating the patient’s condition,
whether the patient is in a clinical trial or is receiving standard therapy.
Extra care costs – costs related to taking part in a clinical trial such as additional
tests that a patient may need as part of the trial, but not as part of the patient’s
routine care.
Research costs – costs related to conducting the clinical trial such as research
physician and nurse time, analysis of results, and clinical tests performed only
for research purposes. These costs are generally covered by the clinical
trials. This plan does not cover these costs.
For more detailed information on “What is Medicare?” and “Should I Enroll in
Medicare?” please contact Medicare at 800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), (TTY
1-877-486-2048) or atwww.medicare.gov.
When you have Medicare
The Original Medicare Plan (Original Medicare) is available everywhere in the
United States. It is the way everyone used to get Medicare benefits and is the way
most people get their Medicare Part A and Part B benefits now. You may go to any
doctor, specialist, or hospital that accepts Medicare. The Original Medicare Plan
pays its share and you pay your share.
All physicians and other providers are required by law to file claims directly to
Medicare for members with Medicare Part B, when Medicare is primary. This is
true whether or not they accept Medicare.
When you are enrolled in Original Medicare along with this Plan, you still need to
follow the rules in this brochure for us to cover your care.
Claims process when you have the Original Medicare PlanYou will probably
not need to file a claim form when you have both our Plan and the Original
Medicare Plan.
When we are the primary payor, we process the claim first.
When Original Medicare is the primary payor, Medicare processes your claim first.
In most cases, your claim will be coordinated automatically and we will then
provide secondary benefits for covered charges. To find out if you need to do
something to file your claim, call us at 1-800-4HUMANA or 1-800-448-6262 or
visit our website: http://feds.humana.com/.
Humana will not waive the medical copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles for
member when original Medicare is the primary payor. Members must enroll in the
Humana Value Plan code associated within the service areas listed on the Value Plan
brochure and the Humana Medicare Advantage Plan to receive waivers for medical
copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. See the Value Plan brochure (RI 73-829)
for more details.
Please review the following table it illustrates your cost share if you are enrolled in
Medicare Part A and B. Members must use providers who accept Medicare’s
assignment.

Medicare by calling 1-800-4HUMANA or visit the Medicare website at https://
www.medicare.gov/supplements-other-insurance/how-medicare-works-with-other-
insurance.
You must tell us if you or a covered family member has Medicare coverage, and let
us obtain information about services denied or paid under Medicare if we ask. You
must also tell us about other coverage you or your covered family members may
have, as this coverage may affect the primary/secondary status of this Plan and
Medicare.
Tell us about your Medicare
coverage
If you are eligible for Medicare, you may choose to enroll in and get your Medicare
benefits from a Medicare Advantage plan. These are private healthcare choices (like
HMOs and regional PPOs) in some areas of the country. To learn more about
Medicare Advantage plans, contact Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE
(1-800-633-4227), (TTY 1-877-486-2048) or at www.medicare.gov.
If you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, the following options are available to
you:
This Plan and another plan’s Medicare Advantage plan: You may enroll in
another plan’s Medicare Advantage plan and also remain enrolled in our FEHB
plan. We will still provide benefits when your Medicare Advantage plan is primary,
even out of the Medicare Advantage plan’s network and/or service area (if you use
our Plan providers). However, we will not waive any of our coinsurance or
deductibles. If you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, tell us. We will need to
know whether you are in the Original Medicare Plan or in a Medicare Advantage
plan so we can correctly coordinate benefits with Medicare.
Suspended FEHB coverage to enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan: If you are
an annuitant or former spouse, you can suspend your FEHB coverage to enroll in a
Medicare Advantage plan, eliminating your FEHB premium. (OPM does not
contribute to your Medicare Advantage plan premium.) For information on
suspending your FEHB enrollment, contact your retirement office. If you later want
to re-enroll in the FEHB Program, generally you may do so only at the next Open
Season unless you involuntarily lose coverage or move out of the Medicare
Advantage plan’s service area.

prescription drug costs that are not covered by Medicare Part D and consider them
for payment under the FEHB plan.

Medicare always makes the final determination as to whether they are the primary payor. The following chart illustrates
whether Medicare or this Plan should be the primary payor for you according to your employment status and other factors
determined by Medicare. It is critical that you tell us if you or a covered family member has Medicare coverage so we can
administer these requirements correctly. (Having coverage under more than two health plans may change the order of
benefits determined on this chart.)

89 2022 Humana High Deductible Health Plan Section 10
A carrier's pursuit of a recovery if a covered individual has suffered an illness or injury and has
received, in connection with that illness or injury, a payment from any party that may be liable,
any applicable insurance policy, or a workers' compensation program or insurance policy, and
the terms of the carrier's health benefits plan require the covered individual, as a result of such
payment, to reimburse the carrier out of the payment to the extent of the benefits initially paid or
provided. The right of reimbursement is cumulative with and not exclusive of the right of
subrogation.
Reimbursement
A specialist is a physician other than a family practitioner, general practitioner, internist or
pediatrician.
Specialist
A carrier's pursuit of a recovery from any party that may be liable, any applicable insurance
policy, or a workers' compensation program or insurance policy, as successor to the rights of a
covered individual who suffered an illness or injury and has obtained benefits from that carrier's
health benefits plan.
Subrogation
A claim for medical care or treatment is an urgent care claim if waiting for the regular time limit
for non-urgent care claims could have one of the following impacts:
• Waiting could seriously jeopardize your life or health;
• Waiting could seriously jeopardize your ability to regain maximum function; or
• In the opinion of a physician with knowledge of your medical condition, waiting would subject
you to severe pain that cannot be adequately managed without the care or treatment that is the
subject of the claim.
Urgent care claims usually involve Pre-service claims and not Post-service claims. We
will evaluate whether or not a claim is an urgent care claim by applying the judgment of a
prudent layperson who possesses an average knowledge of health and medicine.
If you believe your claim qualifies as an urgent care claim, please contact our Customer Service
Department at 1-800-4HUMANA. You may also prove that your claim is an urgent care claim
by providing evidence that a physician with knowledge of your medical condition has
determined that your claim involves urgent care.

Summary of Benefits for the HDHP - 2022
Do not rely on this chart alone. This is a summary. All benefits are subject to the definitions, limitations, and exclusions
in this brochure. Before making a final decision, please read this FEHB brochure. You can also obtain a copy of our
Summary of Benefits and Coverage as required by the Affordable Care Act at https://feds.humana.com/.
If you want to enroll or change your enrollment in this Plan, be sure to put the correct enrollment code from the cover on
your enrollment form.
In 2022, for each month you are eligible for the Health Savings Account (HSA), Humana will deposit $50 monthly for Self
Only enrollment, $100 monthly for Self Plus One enrollment or $100 monthly for Self and Family enrollment to your
HSA. For the HSA, you may use your HSA or pay out of pocket to satisfy your calendar year deductible: In-network:
$3,000 for Self Only enrollment, $6,000 Self Plus One enrollment and $6,000 for Self and Family enrollment or Out-of-
Network: $9,000 for Self Only, $18,000 for Self Plus One and $18,000 for Self and Family. Once your calendar year
deductible is satisfied, Traditional medical coverage begins. In-network and out-of-network deductibles do not cross apply

monthly for Self Only, $100 monthly for Self Plus One and $100 monthly for Self and Family. Once your HRA is
exhausted, and applied toward reducing your calendar year deductible, you must pay out-of-pocket to satisfy the remainder
