3 Aetna Aetna Q Updates Aetna has released new rates for effective dates April to June PPO plans have received a rate pass, while HMO plans will increase 5.9% (statewide average). Quoting is now available in HealthConnect. Please keep in mind that Aetna has added a new criterion for the employer signature in the group application. You can find it in the Underwriting Guidelines, under Employer Eligibility, and included below: The owner or officer signing the employer group application for the group must be a resident for tax purposes in the state in which the group is applying for medical coverage. For any questions and region-specific details, please contact your LISI Regional Sales Manager. Aetna Q Update Reminders Benefit Changes New Formulary Aetna will be switching to a new formulary with no deductible and lower cost share for Generic Rx. However, the coinsurance for Specialty Rx increased and there will be limited brand name drugs. The open formulary is called ACA Formulary, and the brochure will be released by November. Generic Prescription Benefit Changes Aetna has moved all generic drugs to the Tier 1 Rx benefit level effective 1/1/18. Previously generic drugs were divided between Tier 1 and Tier 2 copay structures, meaning that some generic drugs shared a copay tier with Preferred Brand drugs. These changes were announced after the original release of the 2018 portfolio changes and therefore may be incorrectly represented on benefit materials. It is especially important to note that this change impacts all active California plans in 2018, and not just those that become effective 1/1/18. For existing Aetna groups this change will happen upon their renewal in 2018; until their 2018 renewal, they will continue to see generic drugs split across Tier 1 and Tier 2. All Other MH/SA/Behavioral Therapy and Autism ABA Changes 5 plans in the 2018 portfolio are receiving an adjustment to the following benefit categories. These changes were announced after the original release of the 2018 portfolio changes and therefore may be incorrectly represented on benefit materials. All Other MA/SA/Behavioral Therapy Autism ABA In-network member copay is reduced to $0. There will be no change to the out-of-network benefit on these plans. The affected plans are: Platinum Savings Plus 0 90/50 Gold MC 0 80/50 Gold Savings Plus 0 80/50 Silver MC 2000 Copay Silver Savings Plus 2000 Copay Underwriting Updates Employers may have a benefit waiting period of exactly 90 days after the date of hire. Aetna does not prorate the premium, so this means that they will not bill the member if the coverage starts in the middle of the month. Visit the LISI website for more on Aetna Rev.

4 Anthem Q Update Anthem reports no rate or benefit changes for Q With a rate pass and underwriting promotions extended through Jun. 15, 2018, Anthem is a carrier you want to include in your quotes. For the past three years, every Q2 has received a rate pass. This is rolls up to their market position of lower overall rate trend and consistent pricing AVG QUARTER CHANGE Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 PPO 0.0% 2.7% -0.4% -1.2% 0.0% 3.1% 3.2% -0.4% -0.4% 0.78% HMO 0.0% 2.3% -1.0% -4.6% 0.0% 2.8% 2.2% 2.4% 2.4% 0.46% Underwriting guidelines and promotions continue through June 15, As a refresher, the promotions are: 30% relaxed participation promo for groups with 5+ enrolled On and Off-exchange IFP is considered a valid waiver DE-9C is not required for groups with 6+ enrolling, excludes virgin groups. Groups with prior coverage must submit prior carrier bill. Dual HMO: Groups can select both HMO networks to be offered alongside each other. Same-day turnaround for new business is subject to completeness. Case must use census Enrollment Tool for same-day turnaround. Holidays excluded. NEW! And Improved Member ID cards are now paperless to promote convenience and quicker turn-around times. Here is how Anthem describes the process: Upon member enrollment, an ID card image is generated. An is sent to the member with an activation code directing the member to register on mobile. If the member registers and selects digital preference within 48 hours, card is immediate available for viewing. No ID card mailed. If the member does not register within 48 hours OR selects hard copy ID card, a hard copy id card will be mailed to the member. It will also be available for mobile viewing. If Anthem does not have an address on file, a hard copy is mailed to the member automatically. Member can change preference at any time. Anthem has also improved their Enhanced Employer Package and Member Welcome Kit with tools and colloquial terminology that better explains their medical and ancillary benefits. Another exciting improvement relates to their provider search tool. Available to PPO members, Anthem s improved provider search tool integrates with the member s benefits, so they can compare costs and anticipate co-pay or coinsurance estimates for a particular procedure ahead of time. Similar to Yelp, members can also read reviews and see if certain providers received recognition and rewards. It s not just about finding out what provider is in a particular network. It s a transparency tool that allows members to better make informed decisions that impact their health and personal finances. Specialty ONLY Sales Anthem Blue Cross has updated their Underwriting guidelines. Effectively immediately, they no longer require a DE-9C for Specialty Only sales. This includes new sales of specialty lines only, or sales for groups that already have medical in place and add specialty lines. This affects all lines of ancillary coverage, Dental, Vision, Life & Disability. Two-Year Rate Guarantee on New Prime and Complete Dental Sales Anthem Blue Cross is offering a two year rate guarantee with no premium load on new Prime and Complete Dental sales. This is effective November 2017 through March 2018 effective dates and includes Metallic plans. Note that you do not need to request the guarantee, Anthem will automatically apply it.

12 UnitedHealthcare Owner Only Guideline Change 2/1/18 A change has been made to the Owner Only Guidelines effective February 1, UnitedHealthcare will no longer write a group that is owner only, where the common-law employee is waiving coverage.

These new rates are valid from April through June UnitedHealthcare UnitedHealthcare and Warby Parker: Press Release New network relationship enables millions of UnitedHealthcare Vision plan participants to purchase custom eyewear for little or no out-of-pocket cost starting in MINNETONKA, Minn. (Sept. 19, 2017) People enrolled in UnitedHealthcare employer-sponsored and individual vision plans can access Warby Parker s designer prescription eyewear at affordable prices, online or at any of the more than 50 stores nationwide, beginning in This marks the first time Warby Parker is accepting vision insurance, and will enable millions of people to purchase prescription eyeglasses for only their copay. Warby Parker is constantly exploring new ways to provide people access to affordable, high-quality and fashionable eyewear, said Dave Gilboa, co-founder and co-ceo of Warby Parker. We look forward to working with UnitedHealthcare, nationwide, to enable millions of Americans to purchase their glasses at a fraction of the price they might pay through traditional channels. As people now enter the open enrollment season for 2018 health benefits, this new relationship will help meet the needs of UnitedHealthcare plan participants nationwide. Warby Parker and UnitedHealthcare will help more Americans access designer eyewear at affordable prices to help meet the eye care needs of the people we serve, said Tom Wiffler, CEO, UnitedHealthcare Specialty Benefits. We are grateful Warby Parker selected UnitedHealthcare to be its first in-network vision plan. About Warby Parker Warby Parker was founded with a rebellious spirit and a lofty objective: to offer designer eyewear at a revolutionary price, while leading the way for socially conscious businesses. Every idea starts with a problem. Theirs was simple: glasses are too expensive. By circumventing traditional channels, designing glasses in-house, and engaging with customers directly, they re able to provide higher-quality, better-looking prescription eyewear starting at $95 (a fraction of the going price). Warby Parker also believes that everyone has the right to see. There are 2.5 billion people around the world who need glasses but don t have access to them. Of these, 624 million cannot effectively learn or work due to the severity of their visual impairment. To help address this problem, Warby Parker partners with non-profits like VisionSpring to ensure that for every pair of glasses sold, a pair is distributed to someone in need.
