    The Halliburton medical program is a self-fundedhealth plan. This means that Blue Cross Blue Shieldof Texas (BCBSTX) processes health claims using

    network discounts it has negotiated. Then BCBSTXdeducts the claim costs from a Halliburton bankaccount. When the medical program experiences ahigher amount of claims in one year, it means thatwell all pay more the next year.

    Making an impact on our costs for 2011 arechanges required due to the passage of the newhealth care reform law. While the changes arepositive for you and your dependents, they addto the costs of Halliburtons medical program.(See Dear Mr. Know-It-All on page 5 formore details about health care reform and whatHalliburton is doing to comply for the 2011

    plan year.)

    The projected price tag of the Halliburton healthand group benet programs in 2010 is $221 millionwith Halliburton paying $173 million and employeespaying $48 million.

    We all share the responsibility of keeping claimcosts down. It not only saves Halliburton money,but it also saves you money, as well, since you paya percentage of the cost of the medical program.

    BY THE NUMBERSHealth care costs are going up. Got you down?Us, too. Lets do something about it together.

    RENew Halliburton Benefits Center and Total Rewards WebsiteWhen it comes to your benets, were minding the gap and improving servicequality. How?

    While many of these changesare favorable to you and yourdependents, there is a costassociated with them. In fact,experts agree that employercosts could rise as muchas 2% to 6% each year as a

    result of this legislation.

    2011 Benenfts Guide 05

    Dear Mr. Know-It-All,Health care reform legislation was signed by President Obama on March 23,2010. In fact, the press made such a big deal about it, the date is burned inmany of our brains. That being said, what is the big deal? Does this impact myHalliburton medical program for 2011?

    The short answer is: Yes. The explanation will take longer. Not as long as thelegislation itself, though, so dont worry.

    At this point, its difcult to gauge the long-term impact of this law for Halliburton,our medical program offerings, and our employees as many provisions are noteffective until a few years down the road. That being said, heres an overview ofsome of the ways health care reform, as we understand it today, will affect theplan in 2011.

    MEDICAL PROGRAM COVERAGE CHANGES

    The new law outlines a number of provisions that will take effect when our newplan year begins on January 1, 2011. They include:

    Dependent children will be eligible for coverage until their 26th birthday(this extended eligibility also applies to the dental and vision programs).This provision applies whether or not your child is married, attends schoolfull-time, lives with you, or is your tax dependent.

    There will no longer be lifetime or annual dollar limits on coverage, so yourmedical program cant cap the total amount it will pay annually or duringyour lifetime.

    In-network preventive services will be paid at 100% no co-pays.

    CHANGES TO TAX-ADVANTAGED ACCOUNTS

    There are also certain provisions that will affect the way you use your Health CareFlexible Savings Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA).

    Starting with the new plan year on January 1, 2011:

    If you participate in the Health Care FSA or HSA, you will no longer be ableto use money in your account for medicine or drugs that are not prescribedby a health care provider, except for insulin; over-the-counter drugs will nolonger be covered.

    If you participate in the Health Savings Account and use the money fornonqualied expenses, you will pay a 20% penalty (instead of todays10% penalty).

    Note:Starting in 2013, contributions to your Health Care FSA will be limited to$2,500 per year. So, you can continue to contribute up to the maximum amountof $5,000 per year until then.

    LONGER-TERM CHANGES

    Other provisions set to take effect over the next several years through 2018 may also have an impact on our costs and coverage. Some of the provisions youmay have heard the most about for example, a mandate that everyone havehealth insurance, and help for low-income individuals to buy insurance will nottake effect for at least three years.

    Note:The information described herein is a summary of our understanding ofhealth care reform as of the date of print of this magazine. Clarications to healthcare reform continue to be made and if any of the information contained herechanges or additional guidance is issued, you will be notied.

    Answers to the Burning Questions:

    Where To Go and WhenWhat do I do if I join Halliburton, have a QualifiedChange-in-Status event or want to change mybeneficiaries?

    Dont stress about it. The process is really easy.

    During Annual Enrollment

    f you experience one of the events noted above between October 27 andNovember 17, 2010, you will want to do this first:

    Step 1

    Call the Halliburton Benets Center at Hewitt at 1-800-535-8130 during normalbusiness hours or log on to the Your Benets ResourcesTMwebsite athttp://resources.hewitt.com/halliburtonbenets to report your qualied change-n-status event (web changes are not available for all events), change yourbeneciaries or enroll in your new hire benets. Remember, you must enroll ormake changes for 2010 within 31 days from your hire date or the date of thequalied change-in-status event.

    Step 2

    Then, by November 17, 2010, you will want to do this, as well:

    Contact the new Halliburton Benets Center at Mercer by calling 866-321-0964 (international use countrys AT&T access code) or 857-362-5980 or byogging on to www.halliburton.com/totalrewards to adjust your 2011 benetsaccordingly and ensure that your beneciary designations are correct.

    After Annual Enrollment

    f you experience one of the events noted above once Annual Enrollment isover, after November 17, 2010, but before December 31, 2010, you needo do the following two steps which are essentially the same as above, butome actions will not be available through the web. Please see the chart tohe right to help determine if the web is available or not.

    Step 1

    Call the Halliburton Benets Center at Hewitt at 1-800-535-8130 during normalbusiness hours or log on to the Your Benets ResourcesTMwebsite athttp://resources.hewitt.com/halliburtonbenets to report your qualied change-n-status event (web changes are not available for all events), change yourbeneciaries or enroll in your new hire benets.

    Step 2

    Then, within 31 days of your hire date or the date of the qualified change-in-tatus event, you will want to do this, as well:

    Contact the new Halliburton Benets Center at Mercer by calling 866-321-0964international use countrys AT&T access code) or 857-362-5980 to adjust

    In the Drivers SeatThe High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) puts you in the drivers seat.

    The HDHP lets you control the costs of your health care. Through a lowerpremium and higher deductible compared to more traditional health plans,you are encouraged to shop around for the best, and most affordable,care.

    In the HDHP, you pay a lower monthly contribution with no spousalsurcharge. Then, you pay any medical, prescription drug and mentalhealth/ substance abuse expenses during the plan year until you meet

    your annual deductible: $3,000 employee only or $6,000 employee-plus-dependent(s).

    Pick up some speed

    After your deductible is met, the HDHP pays 100% of claims for in-network providers or 80% of claims for out-of-network providers (subjectto reasonable and customary limits) or 100% of claims for the HDHPOut-of-Area (subject to reasonable and customary limits).

    Riding shotgun: Your HSA

    By adding a health savings account (HSA) to your HDHP, you get medicalcoverage plus a savings account that provides tax advantages with norisk of forfeitures. The HSA is a tax-free savings account owned by anindividual, and it may be used to pay for qualifying medical expenses

    for you and your family. You can decide how much you would liketo contribute, when and how to spend the money on eligible medicalexpenses, and how to invest the balance.

    Combining the HDHP and HSA makes for a more interesting, cost-effective journey:

    The HSA allows for tax advantages when you make pre-taxcontributions to the Chase HSA. (If you make after-tax contributionsto an HSA sponsored by any other institution, you can claim thedeposits as a deduction when you le your income tax return.)

    When your funds grow, the earnings are tax-free (and you have theoption of specifying how you want your funds to be invested).

    When you spend HSA funds on qualied medical expenses, you will

    not pay taxes on those dollars.HSA roadmap

    Payroll deductions allow you to make automatic, pre-tax contributionsto a Chase HSA (or you can set up an HSA through your own nancialinstitution and make tax-deductible deposits). At the end of each year,the balance will remain in the account; you do not forfeit unspent funds.You may make changes to your HSA contribution at any time during theplan year. You do not have to experience a Qualied Change-in-Statusevent to adjust your contribution amount.

    If you were contributing to a Chase HSA through payroll deductions for2010, your contribution elections do not roll over to 2011. You mustproactively make your 2011 contribution elections. However, changes in

    the amount of your HSA contribution can be made at any time during theyear through the Halliburton Total Rewards website.

    Repeat destination:

    If you have already opened a Chase HSA for 2010, make your 2011contribution election on Halliburton Total Rewards.

    No further action is needed on the Chase website.

    Trying something new:

    If you have not opened a Chase HSA for 2010, you will need to doso for 2011 in order to receive the Halliburton contribution (seebelow).

    Please make your 2011 contribution election on Halliburton TotalRewards along with your other Annual Enrollment elections.

    Money down

    Thinking of opening an HSA with Chase? Halliburton is offering an annualprorated contribution of $250 or $500 to help get you started. Halliburtonwill make a contribution to all HSA-eligible employees who enroll in theHDHP and elect to have an HSA with Chase.

    Employees electing individual coverage will receive annual contributionstotaling $250, and employees electing family coverage will receive $500.These contributions are prorated based on the number of pay periods youwill have in 2011 and will be deposited into your HSA each payroll period.The Company contribution is not available if an employee opens an HSAwith a nancial institution other than Chase.

    HSA road rulesEligibility requirements for the HSA:

    Must be paired with the HDHP (only available to those whoelect the Halliburton HDHP).

    Insured cannot be covered by any other health insurancecoverage or participate in the General Health Care FSA.

    Insured cannot be enrolled in Medicare.

    Insured cannot be claimed as a dependent on anyones taxreturn.

    HSA 2011 contribution limits (keep in mind that this willinclude the Halliburton contribution):

    Individual, $3,050

    Family, $6,150

    If you are 55 or older, you can deposit up to anadditional $1,000.
