1Note, under the HSA Plan, your deductible applies to medical and prescription drug expenses, and you must pay the full cost of your medical and prescription drug expenses until you meet your deductible. However, certain prescriptions on the preventive drug list are not subject to the deductible. Also note that in the HSA plan, some eligible preventive care prescription drugs are available at no cost. See the Preventive Drug List on the CVS Caremark website. Note, the list is subject to change at any time.

Out-of-pocket costs and negotiated rates
The Transparency in Coverage Final Rules (and related sub-regulatory guidance(see Q&A 1 and 2)) require group health plans to disclose on a public website information regarding: (1) the in-network provider rates for covered items and services (see “in-network-rates” in filename); and (2) the historical out-of-network allowed amounts and billed charges for covered items and services (see “allowed-amounts” in filename) in two separate machine-readable files (MRFs).The files must, in part, also include plan option/coverage identifier information; billing codes to identify items and services for claims processing; and all applicable rates.
The MRFs for the group health plan(s) in the CarMax, Inc. Health Plan, for the Anthem Self-Funded Options and the Kaiser Insured Options are linked below:
The MRFs were prepared using this technical implementation guide. Please refer to the guide for additional details regarding the format, data types, file naming convention, and schemas that were followed when creating and posting the MRFs linked above to help ensure they are publicly discoverable and maintain their integrity.
Medical Plan Credit (MPC)
All Associates who enroll in an Anthem option under the Medical Plan are asked to participate in our voluntary Commitment to Health program. This program asks you and your covered Spouse/Domestic Partner to take the steps outlined in the Commitment to Health Policy to receive a Medical Plan Credit (MPC) of $23.08 per paycheck (up to $600 each for the full Plan Year).
The Commitment to Health program includes a Health Assessment, an online questionnaire about your health history and personal habits (diet, exercise, etc.) to create a snapshot of your current health risks.
Our Commitment to Health Program is administered by Anthem. If you have any questions about the Program, please contact Anthem at (833) 290-2480. See the Commitment to Health Policy for more information, including program deadlines

When Coverage Ends
If your employment with CarMax ends, coverage in this plan will end on your last day of employment. If you move from a Full-time position to a Part-time position, coverage in this plan will end at the end of the month in which you move to a Part-time position.
Under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), you and your qualified beneficiaries (that is, your enrolled Spouse and enrolled dependents) may continue group health coverage for a period of time if coverage under the Plan ceases. CarMax also extends a continuation of coverage option to enrolled Domestic Partners.
You will receive a COBRA notice approximately 2 weeks following your separation of service with instructions and the costs associated with the continuation of coverage. Please refer to the Plan’s SPD for more information.
