There are changes to this year’s benefits plans
that you should know about:
Research and Evaluation
For several years BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee has
served as the administrator for our medical plan. Averitt is selfinsured, so that means our administrator processes claims from
doctors and hospitals and uses Averitt dollars to pay for the
medical care received by our associates and their dependents.
New Health Benefits Partner
Our driving force is made up of a special team of associates.
And we believe that team deserves an outstanding benefits
package.
From health coverage to financial planning, we’re constantly
evaluating our benefits to make sure we’re providing a
comprehensive package to help you Live Well.
In our daily lives, most of us shop around at different stores
and even online to compare and find the best value for our
hard-earned dollars. In the same way, we regularly review
and compare benefits providers to ensure our associates are
receiving the very best service at the best price.
And when we discover opportunities to make our benefits
package even better for our associates, we are prepared to
make changes. After all, sometimes change is a good
thing.
T A B L E
O F
After thorough consideration and evaluation, we are excited
to announce that effective January 1, 2015, we
are changing our medical plan administrator from
BlueCross to Cigna!
Making a change was a big decision that involved several
considerations.
First, we wanted someone who could promise personalized
customer service with 24/7 access along with first-rate
technology for our mobile workforce. And because health care
costs continue to rise, we wanted someone who could help us
effectively manage our expenses so we can keep premiums
as reasonable as possible.
Second, it was critical that our associates would have access
to an extensive network of doctors and hospitals so our
associates would experience little or no disruptions in their
coverage if we made a change.

We are approaching the end of our current contract with
BlueCross, so we decided to take the opportunity to explore
what several other major quality medical benefits providers
had to offer. We launched an extensive research project
to determine if it made sense to renew our contract with
BlueCross or switch to a different provider.
annual enrollment period: Oct. 1-24
This benefits selection period is the only time you will
be allowed to elect or change your health coverage or
enroll in an FSA for the 2015 plan year unless you have a
qualifying family status change in 2015.

Third, we wanted to partner with a company who would
provide a wider array of services. We wanted to
consolidate and make the services currently offered to our
associates more convenient and easier to access.
Most important, we only considered providers with rock-solid
reputations and a proven track record of success over a
long period of time.
Cigna not only met but exceeded our expectations in
all of these areas.
Who Is Cigna?
Cigna is a global health service leader with more than 200
years in the industry. Cigna serves 82 million people in 30
countries across the globe through one million partnering
doctors and hospitals. Their customers include many Fortune
500 companies and several of our transportation peers.
Bottom line, they have the network and the reach our
associates need to access quality care.
Here are a few changes you can look forward to:
Made Easy
Cigna handled more than 160 million medical claims in 2013,
but Cigna’s capabilities go far beyond just claims processing.
One exciting advantage of Cigna is their ability to provide a
wide array of services.
In addition to administering our medical plan, Cigna
will administer our flexible spending accounts,
offer an associate assistance program and provide
pharmaceutical monitoring to help us avoid gaps in
care, including safety monitoring and drug interactions and
duplication. They will replace BlueCross BlueShield,
Conexis, Lifeworks and PharmMD.
Cigna’s broader capabilities enable us to reduce the
number of different providers to make things easier
and more convenient for our associates. Plus, by having
all of these services under one roof, Cigna can provide our
associates with a more integrated, holistic approach to our
health care experience.
Perhaps the most exciting part of selecting Cigna as our new
partner is all the enhanced personal features and benefits they
will provide our associates that we didn’t have before.

MDLIVE
At a time when rising health care costs are forcing some
companies to cut benefits, we’re proud to announce Cigna
will provide Averitt associates enrolled in the medical plan with
access to an exciting new way to receive health care called
MDLIVE.
When we call, we’ll talk with an advocate about our needs
and concerns. We’ll be matched with the right expert from
the Personal Health Team. We can schedule calls with a
coach at times that are convenient for us, including evenings
and Saturdays. Cigna’s integrated team of nurses, coaches,
nutritionists and counselors can help us:
· Start an exercise program
· Quit smoking or lose weight
· Understand our health risks
· Deal with stress or other challenges
And it’s all confidential. Averitt will not receive any information
about our participation in these programs.
24/7 Customer Service
MDLIVE is a 24/7/365 telemedicine service that works just
like an office visit. Through MDLIVE, you can connect with a
board-certified doctor by secure phone call or online video chat.
MDLIVE doctors can diagnose a non-emergency medical issue
based on your symptoms, write prescriptions if necessary and
send prescriptions to the pharmacy of your choice.
MDLIVE is especially convenient for non-emergency medical
issues:
• When your doctor or pediatrician is not available on your
schedule
• When you are out on the road and need medical care
• When it’s not convenient to leave your home or work
• On nights, weekends and even holidays
PLEASE NOTE that MDLIVE has a lower co-pay than a
regular office visit.
PERSONAL HEALTH TEAM
In addition to MDLIVE, another important part of Cigna’s
comprehensive approach is what they call their Personal Health
Team.
Associates will have access to a dedicated team of health
specialists – nurses, health coaches, dieticians, clinicians and
counselors – who will listen, understand our needs and support
us and our family members in improving our health.
4
As we’ve already mentioned, another great benefit of working
with Cigna is they offer an around-the-clock health and
information customer service line. Their team is available
whenever you are.
MyCigna.com and MyCigna Mobile App
Cigna has a first-rate website and mobile app called myCigna.
This personalized, secure site will give us instant access to all
our important health information, so we can better manage our
health and health care expenses. The site makes it easy to find
what we need, when we need it. Want to find a doctor? Track
a claim? View your account balances and deductibles? No
problem. On myCigna.com, we’re never more than a few clicks
away from accessing complete coverage information, claim
activity, network doctors and hospitals, and so much more.
The mobile app also features a convenient electronic
ID card for the entire family.
Together, all of these online features make it easy to stay on top
of our health. It’s all about helping you stay organized and in
control of your health care and health care expenses.
PLEASE NOTE the myCigna.com website and mobile
app will be available January 1, 2015.

Easy Decision
Now that you see all of the benefits of working with Cigna, we
hope you see why making the transition to Cigna was an easy
decision.
Additional services. Better access. Enhanced convenience and
personalized care. All made easy under one roof with a trusted
leader in global health care.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
With a transition like this, there are going to be lots of questions.
Let’s explore some questions we expect many associates will
have.
Will I be able to keep my current doctor? With Cigna’s strong
network of more than 667,000 doctors, chances are very strong
your doctor is one of them. Cigna’s network is very comparable
to BlueCross’ network. In fact, our research indicates that 99%
of the claims our associates filed last year with BlueCross were
filed with doctors who are part of Cigna’s network.
How can I find out if my doctor is in Cigna’s network? You
can find out if your doctor is in Cigna’s network by visiting
cigna.com and selecting “Find a Doctor.” Under “Select a Plan,”
you should choose the “Open Access Plus (OAP)” Medical Plan.
Will this affect my prescription drug coverage? No, we will
continue to partner with Express Scripts in 2015.
Will this affect my dental and vision coverage? No. We will
continue to partner with Delta Dental for dental insurance and
VSP for vision insurance.
How will this change impact my premiums? With health care
costs rising every year, we can expect to see modest increases
in our premiums. This would also have been the case had we
stayed with BlueCross. The biggest impact to premiums will
be for those associates who did not participate in the health
screening and do not receive the wellness incentive for next
year.
Will I get a new medical ID card? You will receive a Cigna
medical card at the end of December that will be valid beginning
January 1. You will also have access to an electronic ID card for
the entire family through the mobile app. Associates and their
covered family members should remember to dispose of their
old BlueCross ID cards January 1, 2015 and discontinue using
them. Members should remember to notify their health care
providers about their new Cigna coverage and Cigna ID card the
first time they receive health care services after January 1, 2015.
All Averitt members should be sure to hang on to their Express
Scripts cards…those will still be good in 2015.
How will this change impact my relationship with Lifeworks?
Cigna will replace Lifeworks with a comprehensive associate
assistance program that will be available 24/7 for associates and
their family members.
How will this change impact my flexible spending health and
dependent care savings accounts and/or my relationship
with CONEXIS? Cigna will replace Conexis as our FSA
provider. As before you will need to enroll or re-enroll in the
FSA and will receive a new health care FSA card from Cigna at
the end of December. PLEASE NOTE: FSA balances remaining
at the end of 2014 (up to $500) will roll over to Cigna in 2015.
How can I ask questions about Cigna coverage? After
Monday, September 22, you can call the Cigna Pre-Enrollment
Information line toll-free: 800-564-7642, 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week. (*Please note this phone number is specifically for
questions about Cigna coverage. This is not the phone number
to be used for the Annual Benefits Enrollment process. That
number is 1-866-944-7211.)

Made Easy – Medical Plan
Not only are we making this year’s enrollment process easier by
reducing the number of different providers we work with, we have also
made the enrollment process easier in other ways.
First of all, we’re streamlining the number of plans available under our
medical coverage.
In years past, the vast majority of our associates have chosen to enroll
in our basic medical plan, which offered robust coverage at a great
value. Very few associates chose the standard or maximum plans. So
this year there will simply be one comprehensive medical
plan for everyone, including new hires. All associates who choose
to participate in our medical coverage will automatically be enrolled in
this plan.
And this plan offers a new feature. In 2015 office visit and prescription
co-pays will now accumulate toward the out-of-pocket maximum,
providing additional financial protection for associates and their
families.
As always, the best way to control costs is by taking an active role
in our wellness. That begins by participating in our annual health
screenings.
We will still be able to choose from four coverage tiers with our
medical plan. Those include associate only, associate plus spouse,
associate plus children and associate plus family.
Even though there will only be one medical plan, with our new wellness
incentive for participation in health screenings this year, there will still
be two levels of premiums. Associates who receive the wellness
incentive for health screening participation, which we’re happy to
report was nearly 80% of our associates, will pay a lower premium
than associates who did not participate in a health screening.
Made Easy – Dental and Vision Plans
In addition to simplifying our medical plans, we are also streamlining
the number of plans available under our dental and vision coverage.
Unlike the medical coverage, for dental and vision coverage the
majority of our associates have chosen our standard or maximum
6
plans in years past. Very few associates have chosen the basic plan.
So this year, we are moving from three plans to two plans,
and only the standard and maximum plans will be available
to all associates, including new hires.
If you were previously enrolled in the basic dental or vision plan and
you don’t make a change during the enrollment process, you will
automatically be enrolled in the standard plan.
As with the medical plan, we will still be able to choose from four
coverage tiers with our dental and vision plans.
Reminders
As you consider your choices for next year, a few important
items to note:
Knowing your options isn’t enough to choose well. There are other
factors you need to consider when selecting your health plan. Factors
such as whether or not your spouse has coverage through his or her
employer, or eligibility for Medicare. Evaluate and compare additional
coverage when deciding how to best meet your needs.
Also, make sure your dependent and beneficiary information is up-to
-date.
In addition to our health care plans, you may also want to consider
participating in a Flexible Spending Account, or FSA, which helps you
stretch your income by reducing your costs and paying less in taxes.
We offer two types of FSA: a Health Care FSA, which can be used
for expenses like deductibles and co-pays, and a Dependent Care
FSA, which can be used for child care or elder care expenses. Both
are exempt from most taxes. Depending on your income tax bracket,
participation in an FSA may allow you to save up to 25 percent a year.
Remember, you must enroll and make new FSA elections each
year in order to participate.
Choose Well for Your Future
While an active role in your everyday well-being is a major part of
choosing well, so is taking an active role in planning for your future.
After all, we never know what’s around the corner in life, and it’s best
to be prepared.
To enroll or make changes, call 866-944-7211 or visit InsideAveritt.com/ChooseWell
That’s why Averitt provides Short-Term Disability protection at
no cost to you. This protection is not insurance but is a compensation
continuation plan that provides income for up to 26 weeks when you are
unable to work due to serious health issues.
You can also purchase Long-Term Disability coverage, which
protects your income and security if you become disabled beyond 26
weeks. And keep in mind that if you apply for Long-Term Disability this
year, you’re guaranteed to be accepted – without exams or evidence of
insurability.
Averitt also provides associates with Basic Life and Accidental
Death and Dismemberment insurance. Depending on your
family’s needs, you may choose to obtain additional coverage by
enrolling in supplemental Life and AD&D insurance or Universal Life
insurance, which help provide future security and protect your family’s
way of life when they would need it most.
Remember that you may have the opportunity to elect an increase in
your supplemental Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment
insurance without answering medical questions during the annual
enrollment period. Be sure to take advantage of that. Also, if you elect
to enroll in a Universal Life individual policy, you’ll never experience a
decrease in benefits or increase in premiums even if you change jobs or
retire.

E
Eligible Dependents*
If you elect coverage for yourself, you can also cover your spouse
and eligible dependent children.
Your spouse must be legally married to you and of the opposite
sex.
You can cover any eligible dependent child up to age 26.
This includes:
• Natural children
• Adopted children
• Any child who lives with you and for whom you are the legal
guardian
• Stepchildren
• Children who do not reside with you, but for whom you’re
required to provide medical coverage under a Qualified Medical
Child Support Order (for example, your children who reside with
your ex-spouse)
• Any child permanently disabled before age 26 who will continue
to be disabled and dependent on you for financial support
Proof of Eligibility
Proof of eligibility is required.
Spouse: 1040A page 1 of your current Federal Income
Tax return, or if married 1/1/14 or after, a copy of the
marriage certificate
Dependent child age 0-17: birth certificate (or
1040A page 1 if you claim your dependent as a “tax”
dependent), court order or child support order
Dependent child age 18-26: birth certificate (or 1040A
page 1 if you claim your dependent as a “tax”
dependent)

C Benefits
Follow these steps to make sure you get
the coverage you need for 2015:
1. Determine your benefits coverage level.
For the dental and vision plans, you have two plans to
choose from (for active associates only). You can mix and
match the plans to meet your individual needs. (For example,
you may choose the Standard Vision Plan and the Maximum
Dental Plan.)
2. Pick the right family status tier.
Your health care premiums depend on which coverage level
you choose. We offer four coverage tiers:
• Associate only
• Associate + Spouse
• Associate + Child(ren)*
• Associate + Family
3. Compare your coverage with your spouse’s.
If your spouse has coverage available elsewhere, consider
which coverage best meets your needs. Most health plans
have a coordination of benefits provision, which means that
double coverage rarely results in double benefits.
4. Prepare for the unexpected.
Most financial experts agree that you should have additional
sources of income of at least five times your annual earnings
to protect your family. Our supplemental life and accident
insurance can help provide that financial cushion.
5. Keep your information up-to-date.
Review your dependent and beneficiary information on file
and make any necessary changes. If something should
happen to you, your protection benefits will be paid to the
latest beneficiary on file. Please note if you want to add a
dependent to your insurance, you will be required to provide
verification, and you will have to enroll over the phone.
6. Consider Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
You may elect to participate in one or both of our Flexible
Spending Accounts (FSAs) – a Health Care Spending
Account or a Dependent Care Spending Account. There is no
requirement that you or your dependents be insured through
group insurance plans at Averitt in order to establish either
type of FSA.
An FSA can help you stretch your income by reducing
your costs and paying less in taxes by allowing you to use
pretax dollars to pay for health care and/or dependent care
expenses. If you elect to participate, dollars will be deducted
from your paycheck in the amount you determine and will be
put into a special account that is protected from taxes.
A Health Care FSA can be used for eligible health care
expenses including health care plan deductibles, copayments (including prescription co-payments) and other
expenses that are incurred by you, your spouse and
dependents that are not covered by your health plan.
A Dependent Care FSA can help you pay for dependent
care services that make it possible for you and your spouse
(if applicable) to work. Under certain circumstances it also
may be used to help pay for the care of elderly parents or a
disabled spouse or dependent. To be eligible, you and your
spouse (if applicable) must be at work during the time your
eligible dependent receives care.
Both types of FSAs are exempt from federal taxes, Social
Security (FICA) taxes and, in most cases, state income taxes.
Depending on your income tax bracket, you may save up to
25% or more in taxes each year you participate.
In order to begin participating in either one or both of the
new FSAs, you must enroll during this year’s enrollment
period by meeting with a benefits counselor at your location
or by electing to participate as part of your new hire benefits
elections. REMEMBER: You must enroll and make new
FSA elections EACH year in order to participate.
* Includes children who don’t reside with you but for whom you are required to provide
medical coverage under a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (e.g., your children
who reside with your ex-spouse).

Regular dental visits certainly play a role in helping
you and your family Live Well. Good dental care
helps prevent or treat periodontal disease – a
primary cause of tooth loss in people of all ages,
according to the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services.
We offer two dental plans administered by Delta
Dental: the Standard Plan and the Maximum Plan.
The plans differ in the type of care covered and
what you pay for services. You may see any dentist,
but when you use a Delta Dental provider, you’ll
save money and you won’t have to file any claims.
Associates who do not make an election but
are currently in the Basic plan will default
into the Standard plan for 2015.

Standard Plan and the Maximum Plan. The plans differ in
the type of care covered and what you pay for services. You
may see any provider. When you use a VSP Open Access
provider, you’ll save money and you won’t have to file any
claims.
Both vision plans cover 100% for an annual eye exam.
The Standard Plan provides additional benefits for eyeglass
lenses and contacts. The Maximum Plan provides benefits
for frames.
Associates who do not make an election but are
currently in the Basic plan will default into the
Standard plan for 2015.
