1 SUMMARY PLAN DESCRIPTION BOOKLET For ThyssenKrupp Elevator Corporation EPO - Salaried Effective 4/1/09 NOTICE ThyssenKrupp Elevator Corporation is pleased to provide a comprehensive Medical and Prescription Drug Benefit Plan for its employees and their dependents. The Plan is designed to protect Plan participants against certain health care expenses. This booklet constitutes the Summary Plan Description for the Medical and Prescription Drug Benefits for the Salaried EPO plan, one plan option under the ThyssenKrupp Elevator Employee Health and Welfare Plan (the Plan ). This booklet provides detailed information about medical and prescription drug benefits as of April 1, 2009. We encourage you to review this booklet in detail to understand the important eligibility provisions, covered benefits and limitations of the Plan. Coverage under the Plan will take effect for an eligible Employee and/or Dependents when the Employee and/or Dependent satisfies the eligibility requirements of the Plan.
2 Failure to follow the eligibility or enrollment requirements of this Plan may result in delay of coverage or no coverage at all. Reimbursement from the Plan may be reduced or denied because of certain provisions in the Plan, such as coordination of benefits, subrogation, exclusions, timeliness of COBRA elections, utilization review or other cost management requirements, lack of medical necessity, untimely filing of claims, or lack of coverage. These provisions are explained in more detail in this booklet. The Plan will pay benefits only for the expenses incurred while this coverage is in force. No benefits are payable for expenses incurred before coverage begins or after coverage terminates, even if the expenses are incurred as a result of an accident, injury or disease that occurs, begins or exists while coverage is in force. An expense for a service or supply is incurred on the date the service or supply is furnished. ThyssenKrupp Elevator Corporation may make changes at any time and for any reason in any or all parts of the Plan including benefit coverage, deductibles, maximums, copayments, exclusions, limitations, definitions, eligibility and the like.
