US Airways Attachment B to the August 14, 2002 Amendment to the 1999 Agreement
National PPO - Plan Design Summary
Eligible Actives, Inactives & Pre-65 Retirees

Health and Welfare Plans

New Medical/Dental Plan Design Effective January 1, 2003

For all eligible active and inactive employees, pre-Medicare eligible retirees (i.e. prior to age 65) and eligible dependents who are in-network for the selected Third Party Administrator (TPA), medical coverage will be in accordance with the attached PPO Plan Design Summary and the following;

For all eligible active and inactive employees, pre-Medicare eligible retirees (i.e. prior to age 65) and eligible dependents who are out-of-network for the selected TPA, medical coverage will be in accordance with the attached Indemnity Plan Design Summary and the following;

For all eligible Medicare-eligible retirees (i.e. after age 65) and eligible dependents, medical coverage will be in accordance with the attached Indemnity Plan Design Summary, and the following;

For all eligible active and inactive employees, retirees, and their eligible dependents, dental coverage will be in accordance with the attached Managed Dental Plan Design Summary and the following:

  1. Reasonable and Customary (R&C) standard provided for in the out-of-network and out-of-access portions of the medical and dental plans will be updated based on the Third Party Administrator’s (TPA’s) regular schedule but not less frequently than every six months at the 90th percentile of charges.
  2. For purposes of Lifetime Maximums, there will be no carryover of charges from existing plans (i.e. fresh start.)
  3. The Company will use the TPA’s standard definition of access for defining when a participant is considered to be out-of-network with respect to the medical and dental plans. The out-of-network medical and dental plans will provide benefits at the in-network level, subject to R&C.
  4. The company will adopt the protocols of the selected TPA regarding transition of care. Care while traveling abroad will be covered under the plan on an in-network basis for emergency and urgent care.
  5. Spouses will be eligible for benefits under the medical/dental plan, subject to a non-duplication method of coordination.
  6. In selecting a vendor to administer its medical and dental plans, US Airways will make every effort to cause the least disruption to current provider access.
  7. Employee contributions will be in accordance with the attached contribution charts.

Changes to Flexible Spending Account

  1. Increase maximum medical/dental care expense reimbursement of the Flexible Spending Account Program under Letter of Agreement #24 to the lesser of $7,500 or the maximum amount permitted under the law. US Airways will implement effective January 1, 2003.
