blue square Introduction

The ExxonMobil Medicare Supplement Plan referred to as the Plan in this SPD is a medical plan for retirees, survivors and their dependents who are eligible for Medicare. It is designed to work with Medicare Parts A and B to give you medical coverage similar to that available to employees and retirees not eligible for Medicare.

The ExxonMobil Medicare Supplement Plan also covers care and supplies such as outpatient prescription drugs, in-home skilled-nursing care and medical care received outside the United States, which are not covered by Medicare Parts A and B; however, if you enroll in a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan which provides a Medicare prescription drug benefit or Medicare Part D (coverage for prescription drugs), the Plan will not cover any outpatient prescription drugs even if they are not covered under Medicare Part C or D.

While the Plan is designed to work with Medicare Parts A and B, it is not intended to pay all amounts that Medicare does not cover. Benefits payable under the Plan are considered together with the benefits received from Medicare.

The Plan does not involve an insurance policy. All claims are funded by contributions from ExxonMobil, other participating employers and participants. Aetna Life Insurance Company (Aetna) and Medco are paid fees to provide services such as processing claims, answering questions, and managing the pharmacy network and Medco By Mail, the mail-order pharmacy service. Neither Aetna nor Medco has any responsibility for funding benefits under the Plan.

The Plan is described in detail in this SPD. These tools help you find specific information quickly and easily:

  • Plan at a Glance, a quick user's guide highlighting plan basics.
  • Charts and tables to provide information, examples, highlights of plan provisions, including a Benefit Summary chart.
  • References to places where you can find more information.
  • A list of Key Terms containing definitions of some words and terms used in this SPD.
  • An Index to help you locate specific items.

A careful reading of this SPD will help you understand how the Plan works so you can make the best use of the Plan provisions. You may obtain additional information from the sources shown on page 1.


blue square Plan at a Glance

Eligibility
Retirees and their dependents who are eligible for Medicare may participate. Survivors of retirees or deceased employees may also be eligible once they become Medicare eligible. See page 6.

The Prescription Drug Program
The Plan offers two cost-saving ways to buy outpatient prescription drugs if you are not participating in a Medicare Advantage (Part C) plan which provides a Medicare prescription drug benefit or Medicare Part D — at local participating network pharmacies and through mail order. See page 10.

Other Plan Provisions
You must satisfy an annual deductible of $300 before the Plan starts paying. If you meet your annual out-of-pocket limit of $3,000, the Plan's reimbursement level — when combined with Medicare Parts A and B — is 100% of most covered charges for the rest of that calendar year. The Plan pays up to $3,000,000 in benefits for the lifetime of each covered person. The Plan covers some items Medicare may not — transition benefits from pre-65 medical plans sponsored by ExxonMobil, in-home skilled-nursing care and medical care received outside the United States. See page 17.

Accepting Assignment
If your doctor or other health care providers accept assignment, they accept the amount Medicare approves as payment in full for each service or supply. You must still pay any co-insurance amount. See page 24.

Covered and Excluded Expenses
The Plan provides benefits for many, but not all, types of treatment, care and services. See page 26 for Covered Expenses and page 29 for Exclusions.

Coordination of Benefits
The Plan treats Medicare coverage as another group plan for purposes of coordinating benefits. See page 31.

Claims
All claims should be submitted to Medicare first. If you participate in Medicare Direct, your Medicare Part B claim is automatically forwarded from Medicare to Aetna. If you do not participate in Medicare Direct, you submit the claim along with the Explanation of Medicare Benefits forms to Aetna. See page 33.

Partners in Health
Tools and resources are available to you and your dependents to help you better manage your health care. The health portal, health risk assessment and 24-hour nurse line are available to all Plan participants. See page 36.

COBRA
Your dependents who lose eligibility may continue medical coverage for a limited time in certain circumstances. See page 38.


Administrative and ERISA Information
The Plan is subject to rules of the federal government, including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), not state insurance laws. See page 42.
