What You Will

Need To Enroll

To enroll, contact the ValueMed Enrollment Center at

1.800.656.4577.

Please make sure you have the following information

before you call.

Pre-Tax vs. Post-Tax Elections

Employees will have the option of choosing to have their ValueMed premium deducted on a pre-tax or post-tax basis.

The decision made will have to remain the entire plan year, per I.R.S code. By having premium deducted on a pre-tax

basis, the following considerations apply: (i) Employees will not have to pay taxes on the money deducted to pay for

their benefits. This will make the benefits less expensive, but actual savings will vary based on the tax bracket the

employee is in. (ii) When an employee chooses to participate in the Pre-Tax plan, they are obligated to remain in the

plan for the entire plan year, unless a status change occurs. (iii) If an employee chooses for deductions to be taken pretax

and they choose the Short Term Disability benefit, the weekly income benefits received will be subject to income

tax. (iv) Because employees' premium payments are deducted before your social security taxes are calculated, employees'

social security benefits may be affected. If deductions are taken post-tax, benefits will cost the employee more

money, but the employee is allowed to cancel their policy at any time. However, the employee cannot re-enroll until

the next open enrollment period.

*Included in the ValueMed plans is the Best Benefits Network Discount Card and Criterion Select Rx. These programs are not insurance and are provided by companies unaffiliated with Pan American Life Insurance

Company. Pan American is not a marketer for, nor an agent of, these companies, and is not responsible for any services/benefits provided by them.

All of the ValuMed plan information is also available at www.wispeople.com.

This program is not intended to replace, nor

do we recommend that it replace any comprehensive

program of insurance in which

you currently participate, or are considering

participation in. This plan is not designed to

replace or provide major medical or catastrophic

coverage.

Coverage must be applied for within 60 days

of date of hire. If you do not enroll during

this time you will be unable to enroll until

the next annual enrollment period unless

you experience a qualified life status change

during the policy year.

This brochure is for illustrative purposes

only. A detailed Certificate of Coverage will

be provided upon enrollment in the

Program. The insurance benefits for the

medical indemnity plan are offered by Pan

American Life Insurance Company. For costs

and further details of coverage, including

exclusions, restrictions or limitations and the

terms under which the policy may be continued

Insurance Company.
