Please Note: If your group offers a Consumer Choice health plan you have the option to choose a Consumer Choice
of Benefits Health Insurance Plan or Consumer Choice of Benefits Health Maintenance Organization health care plan
that, either in whole or in part, does not provide state-mandated health benefits normally required in accident and
sickness insurance policies or evidences of coverage in Texas. This standard health benefit plan may provide a more
affordable health insurance policy or health plan for you, although, at the same time, it may provide you with fewer
health benefits than those normally included as state-mandated health benefits in policies or evidences of coverage
in Texas. If you choose this standard health benefit plan, please consult with your insurance agent to discover which
state-mandated health benefits are excluded in this policy or evidence of coverage.
