Medical Coverage
About This Coverage
Protects you and your family from major financial hardship in the event of illness or injury.
HDHP/HSA Plan – This PPO plan is a high deductible health plan (HDHP) that has a $4,000 Individual and an $8,000 Family in-network deductible.
Medical Provider:
Network:
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana (BCBSLA)
Preferred Care PPO
You have a choice of three medical plans:
Mid Plan – This PPO plan has a $3,500 Individual and a $10,500 Family innetwork deductible. Buy-Up Plan – This PPO plan has a $1,500 Individual and a $4,500 Family in-network deductible.
Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) A PPO allows you to see any provider when you need care. When you see in-network providers for care, you will pay less and get the highest level of benefits. You will pay more for care if you use non-network providers. When you see in-network providers, your office visits, urgent care visits, and prescription drugs are covered with a copay, and most other network services are covered at the deductible and coinsurance level.
High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) An HDHP allows you to see any provider when you need care, and you will pay less for care when you go to innetwork providers. In exchange for a lower per-paycheck cost for medical benefits, you must satisfy a higher plan deductible that applies to almost all health care expenses, including prescription drugs. If you enroll in the HDHP, you may be eligible to open a Health Savings Account (HSA) (see page 13).

Dental Coverage Helps maintain fresh breath, healthy gums and teeth, and other dental work. DentalGuard Preferred In-network dentists are reimbursed on a negotiated fee schedule. Out-of-network payments are based on Usual and Customary (U&C) charges.
Maximum Rollover Program If you enroll in our dental plan, you will automatically be enrolled in the Guardian Maximum Rollover Program. This program rewards you for going to the dentist regularly to prevent or detect the early signs of serious diseases. If you submit a claim (without exceeding the paid claims threshold of a benefit year), Guardian will roll over part of your unused annual maximum into a Maximum Rollover Account (MRA). This can be used in future years if your plan’s annual maximum is reached. View your MRA statement at www.guardiananytime.com or call 800-541-7846. How the MRA works:
1.
You must have less than the threshold of $700 in annual claims to be eligible for the rollover benefit.
2.
If you qualify, $500 (in-network only) or $350 (out-of-network) in rollover will be added to your plan’s annual maximum for future years.
3.
The rollover account has a maximum rollover amount of $1,250.

Life and AD&D Insurance Provides your loved ones with a financial safety net after your death and/or after an accident that causes loss of life, limb, or function. Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance through Guardian are important to your financial security, especially if others depend on you for support or vice versa. With Life insurance, you or your beneficiary(ies) can use the coverage to pay off debts such as credit cards, loans, and bills. AD&D coverage provides specific benefits if an accident causes bodily harm or loss (e.g., the loss of a hand, foot, or eye). If death occurs from an accident, 100% of the AD&D benefit would be paid to you or your beneficiary(ies). Life and AD&D coverage amounts reduce 35% at age 65, and reduce by 50% at age 70.

Voluntary Life and AD&D If you need more coverage than Basic Life and AD&D, you may buy Voluntary Life and AD&D for yourself and your dependent(s). If you do not elect Voluntary Life and AD&D insurance when first eligible, or if you want to increase your benefit amount at a later date, you may need to show proof of good health. You must elect Voluntary Life and AD&D coverage for yourself before covering your spouse and/or child(ren). Spouse coverage terminates at age 70.
Designating a Beneficiary A beneficiary is the person or entity you elect to receive the death benefits of your Life and AD&D insurance policies. You can name more than one beneficiary, and you can change beneficiaries at anytime. If you name more than one beneficiary, you must identify how much each beneficiary will receive (e.g., 50% or 25%).

Disability Insurance Provides partial income protection if you are unable to work due to a covered accident or illness.
If you were temporarily unable to work, would you be able to cover your bills?
We provide Short Term Disability (STD) and Long Term Disability (LTD) for you to purchase through Guardian.
Voluntary Short Term Disability STD coverage pays a percentage of your weekly salary if you are temporarily disabled and unable to work due to an illness, pregnancy, or non-work-related injury. STD benefits are not payable if the disability is due to a job-related injury or illness. If a medical condition is jobrelated, it is considered workers’ compensation, not STD.
Voluntary Long Term Disability LTD insurance pays a percentage of your monthly salary for a covered disability or injury that prevents you from working for more than 90 days. Benefits begin at the end of an elimination period and continue while you are disabled up to the maximum benefit period.

Supplemental Benefits Complements our traditional health care programs and pays you directly for unexpected health care costs.
Protect Your Savings Health insurance covers medical bills, but if you have an emergency, an accident, or a hospital stay, you may have a lot of unexpected out-ofpocket costs to pay. Protect your savings with additional coverage from Guardian.
Accident Insurance Accident insurance provides affordable protection against a sudden, unforeseen accident. The Accident plan helps offset the direct and indirect expenses resulting from an accident such as copayments, deductible, ambulance, physical therapy, childcare, rent, and other costs not covered by traditional health plans.

The Hospital Indemnity plan helps you with the high cost of medical care by paying you a cash benefit when you have an inpatient hospital stay. Unlike traditional insurance that pays a benefit to the hospital or doctor, this plan pays you directly. It is up to you how you want to use the cash benefit. These costs may include meals, travel, childcare or eldercare, deductibles, coinsurance, medication, or time away from work. See the plan document for full details.

Important Notices Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998 In October 1998, Congress enacted the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act of 1998. This notice explains some important provisions of the Act. Please review this information carefully. As specified in the Women’s Health and Cancer Rights Act, a plan participant or beneficiary who elects breast reconstruction in connection with a mastectomy is also entitled to the following benefits: All stages of reconstruction of the breast on which the mastectomy was performed; Surgery and reconstruction of the other breast to produce a symmetrical appearance; and Prostheses and treatment of physical complications of the mastectomy, including lymphedema. Health plans must determine the manner of coverage in consultation with the attending physician and the patient. Coverage for breast reconstruction and related services may be subject to deductibles and coinsurance amounts that are consistent with those that apply to other benefits under the plan.
Special Enrollment Rights This notice is being provided to ensure that you understand your right to apply for group health insurance coverage. You should read this notice even if you plan to waive coverage at this time. Loss of Other Coverage or Becoming Eligible for Medicaid or a state Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) If you are declining coverage for yourself or your dependents because of other health insurance or group health plan coverage, you may be able to later enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan if you or your dependents lose eligibility for that other coverage (or if the employer stops contributing toward your or your dependents’ other coverage). However, you must enroll within 31 days after your or your dependents’ other coverage ends (or after the employer that sponsors that coverage stops contributing toward the other coverage).
If you or your dependents lose eligibility under a Medicaid plan or CHIP, or if you or your dependents become eligible for a subsidy under Medicaid or CHIP, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents in this plan. You must provide notification within 60 days after you or your dependent is terminated from, or determined to be eligible for, such assistance.
1.
Medicare prescription drug coverage became available in 2006 to everyone with Medicare. You can get this coverage through a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan or a Medicare Advantage Plan that offers prescription drug coverage. All Medicare prescription drug plans provide at least a standard level of coverage set by Medicare. Some plans may also offer more coverage for a higher monthly premium.
2.
Jaguar Energy Services, LLC has determined that the prescription drug coverage offered by the Jaguar Energy Services, LLC medical plan is, on average for all plan participants, expected to pay out as much as the standard Medicare prescription drug coverage pays and is considered Creditable Coverage. The HSA plan is considered Creditable Coverage.
Marriage, Birth or Adoption If you have a new dependent as a result of a marriage, birth, adoption, or placement for adoption, you may be able to enroll yourself and your dependents. However, you must enroll within 31 days after the marriage, birth, or placement for adoption. For More Information or Assistance To request special enrollment or obtain more information, contact: Jaguar Energy Services, LLC Human Resources 301 N. Parkerson P.O. Box 1444 Crowley, LA 70527 337-354-2374, ext. 203
Your Prescription Drug Coverage and Medicare Please read this notice carefully and keep it where you can find it. This notice has information about your current prescription drug coverage with Jaguar Energy Services, LLC and about your options under Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. This information can help you decide whether or not you want to enroll in a Medicare drug plan. Information about where you can get help to make decisions about your prescription drug coverage is at the end of this notice. If neither you nor any of your covered dependents are eligible for or have Medicare, this notice does not apply to you or the dependents, as the case may be. However, you should still keep a copy of this notice in the event you or a dependent should qualify for coverage under Medicare in the future. Please note, however, that later notices might supersede this notice.
Return to TOC
Because your existing coverage is, on average, at least as good as standard Medicare prescription drug coverage, you can keep this coverage and not pay a higher premium (a penalty) if you later decide to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan, as long as you later enroll within specific time periods. You can enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan when you first become eligible for Medicare. If you decide to wait to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan, you may enroll later, during Medicare Part D’s annual enrollment period, which runs each year from October 15 through December 7 but as a general rule, if you delay your enrollment in Medicare Part D after first becoming eligible to enroll, you may have to pay a higher premium (a penalty). You should compare your current coverage, including which drugs are covered at what cost, with the coverage and cost of the plans offering Medicare prescription drug coverage in your area. See the Plan’s summary plan description for a summary of the Plan’s prescription drug coverage. If you don’t have a copy, you can get one by contacting Jaguar Energy Services, LLC at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.
23
Important Notices If you choose to enroll in a Medicare prescription drug plan and cancel your current Jaguar Energy Services, LLC prescription drug coverage, be aware that you and your dependents may not be able to get this coverage back. To regain coverage, you would have to re-enroll in the Plan, pursuant to the Plan’s eligibility and enrollment rules. You should review the Plan’s summary plan description to determine if and when you are allowed to add coverage. If you cancel or lose your current coverage and do not have prescription drug coverage for 63 days or longer prior to enrolling in the Medicare prescription drug coverage, your monthly premium will be at least 1% per month greater for every month that you did not have coverage for as long as you have Medicare prescription drug coverage. For example, if nineteen months lapse without coverage, your premium will always be at least 19% higher than it would have been without the lapse in coverage. For more information about this notice or your current prescription drug coverage: Contact the Human Resources Department at 337-354-2374, ext. 203. NOTE: You will receive this notice annually and at other times in the future, such as before the next period you can enroll in Medicare prescription drug coverage and if this coverage changes. You may also request a copy.
For more information about your options under Medicare prescription drug coverage: More detailed information about Medicare plans that offer prescription drug coverage is in the “Medicare & You” handbook. You will get a copy of the handbook in the mail every year from Medicare. You may also be contacted directly by Medicare prescription drug plans. For more information about Medicare prescription drug coverage: Visit www.medicare.gov. Call your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see the inside back cover of your copy of the “Medicare & You” handbook for their telephone number) for personalized help. Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-6334227). TTY users should call 877-4862048. If you have limited income and resources, extra help paying for Medicare prescription drug coverage is available. Information about this extra help is available from the Social Security Administration (SSA) online at www.socialsecurity.gov, or you can call them at 800-772-1213. TTY users should call 800-325-0778. Remember: Keep this Creditable Coverage notice. If you enroll in one of the new plans approved by Medicare which offer prescription drug coverage, you may be required to provide a copy of this notice when you join to show whether or not you have maintained creditable coverage and whether or not you are required to pay a higher premium (a penalty).

This notice describes the privacy practices of the Employee Benefits Plan (referred to in this notice as the Plan), sponsored by Jaguar Energy Services, LLC , hereinafter referred to as the plan sponsor. The Plan is required by law to maintain the privacy of your health information and to provide you with this notice of the Plan’s legal duties and privacy practices with respect to your health information.

Important Notices Conclusion PHI use and disclosure by the Plan is regulated by a federal law known as HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). You may find these rules at 45 Code of Federal Regulations Parts 160 and 164. The Plan intends to comply with these regulations. This Notice attempts to summarize the regulations. The regulations will supersede any discrepancy between the information in this Notice and the regulations.
Premium Assistance Under Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) If you or your children are eligible for Medicaid or CHIP and you’re eligible for health coverage from your employer, your state may have a premium assistance program that can help pay for coverage, using funds from their Medicaid or CHIP programs. If you or your children aren’t eligible for Medicaid or CHIP, you won’t be eligible for these premium assistance programs but you may be able to buy individual insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. For more information, visit www.healthcare.gov. If you or your dependents are already enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP and you live in a State listed below, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office to find out if premium assistance is available. If you or your dependents are NOT currently enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP, and you think you or any of your dependents might be eligible for either of these programs, contact your State Medicaid or CHIP office or dial 1-877-KIDS NOW or www.insurekidsnow.gov to find out how to apply. If you qualify, ask your state if it has a program that might help you pay the premiums for an employer-sponsored plan. If you or your dependents are eligible for premium assistance under Medicaid or CHIP, as well as eligible under your employer plan, your employer must allow you to enroll in your employer plan if you aren’t already enrolled. This is called a “special enrollment” opportunity, and you must request coverage within 60 days of being determined eligible for premium assistance. If you have questions about enrolling in your employer plan, contact the Department of Labor at www.askebsa.dol. gov or call 1-866-444-EBSA (3272).
If you live in one of the following States, you may be eligible for assistance paying your employer health plan premiums. The following list of States is current as of July 31, 2025. Contact your State for more information on eligibility.

Your Rights and Protections Against Surprise Medical Bills When you get emergency care or get treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from surprise billing or balance billing. What is “balance billing” (sometimes called “surprise billing”)? When you see a doctor or other health care provider, you may owe certain outof-pocket costs, such as a copayment, coinsurance, and/or a deductible. You may have other costs or have to pay the entire bill if you see a provider or visit a health care facility that isn’t in your health plan’s network. “Out-of-network” describes providers and facilities that have not signed a contract with your health plan. Out-of-network providers may be permitted to bill you for the difference between what your plan agreed to pay and the full amount charged for a service. This is called “balance billing.” This amount is likely more than in-network costs for the same service and might not count toward your annual out-of-pocket limit. “Surprise billing” is an unexpected balance bill. This can happen when you can’t control who is involved in your care—like when you have an emergency or when you schedule a visit at an in-network facility but are unexpectedly treated by an out-of-network provider. You are protected from balance billing for: Emergency services – If you have an emergency medical condition and get emergency services from an out-ofnetwork provider or facility, the most the provider or facility may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount (such as copayments and coinsurance). You cannot be balance billed for these emergency services. This includes services you may get after you are in stable condition, unless you give written consent and give up your protections not to be balanced billed for these post-stabilization services.
Certain services at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center – When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers cannot balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed. If you get other services at these innetwork facilities, out-of-network providers cannot balance bill you, unless you give written consent and give up your protections. You are never required to give up your protections from balance billing. You also are not required to get care out-of-network. You can choose a provider or facility in your plan’s network. When balance billing is not allowed, you also have the following protections: You are only responsible for paying your share of the cost (like the copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles that you would pay if the provider or facility was in-network). Your health plan will pay out-of-network providers and facilities directly. Your health plan generally must: •
Cover emergency services without requiring you to get approval for services in advance (prior authorization).
•
Cover emergency services by outof-network providers.
•
Base what you owe the provider or facility (cost-sharing) on what it would pay an in-network provider or facility and show that amount in your explanation of benefits.
•
Count any amount you pay for emergency services or out-ofnetwork services toward your deductible and out-of-pocket limit.
If you believe you have been wrongly billed, you may contact your insurance provider. Visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises for more information about your rights under federal law.
