6 RELEASE NEEDED RIGHT TO DEVELOP ACCESS TO RECORDS AND AMENDMENTS TO THIS CASE EXTENSION OF INTRODUCTION Self-Insured HMO 2001 1 INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION 2 Self-Insured Managed-Care Option 2001 INTRODUCTION UNISYS offers this self-insured managed-care option in designated geographic locations to eligible UNISYS employees, former employees, and their dependents. Under a fully-insured plan, UNISYS pays fixed monthly premiums set by the plan. The plans bear the risk that expenses will not exceed the premiums collected. The premiums include projected benefit payments, state insurance taxes, administrative costs, and a profit margin. The benefits provided under the plan are subject to mandates specific to the states in which they operate.

7 Under a self-insured plan, UNISYS makes benefit payments as services occur, including a fee for the use of the third-party administrator s network and the third-party administrator s services noted below. Costs are variable rather than fixed because UNISYS , not the plans, bears the risk of volatility of expenses. State insurance taxes and state mandates do not apply. Instead, the plan is subject to the federal Employee Retirement Income Security Act. UNISYS has contracted with the following third-party administrators (TPAs) for claims processing, precertification, utilization review, member services, grievance resolution, and a provider network under the Plan. Use the group number noted below when asking questions about benefits under the Plan.

9 Follows a credentialing process before a provider is admitted to their network; and Monitors the performance of their network providers. Neither UNISYS nor any of the TPAs engage in the performance or delivery of medical, hospital services, or other types of health-care services. The TPAs have contractual agreements with their network providers to furnish covered services within the scope of their licenses to plan members. Neither UNISYS nor any of the TPAs guarantee the professional services of the providers. The selection of a provider and the decision to receive or decline health-care services is solely your decision and responsibility. This Supplement to your Summary Plan Description (SPD) booklet includes: a description of how the Plan works, a description of benefits available under the Plan; procedures for submitting requests for reimbursement, and procedures for appealing a denied request for benefits.

10 Refer to the appropriate SPD INTRODUCTION Self-Insured Managed-Care Option 2001 3 referenced inside the front cover under About This Supplement for: General information on eligibility; Covered dependents; Coordination of benefits with other group plans; When coverage begins and ends; Your continuation options (if any) when coverage ends; and General additional Plan information, such as your rights under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974, as amended, and third-party liabilities. Read this supplement and your SPD. Many provisions are interrelated; reading just one or two provisions may give you a misleading impression.
