1 The Affordable Care Act (ACA) What are the Financial Impacts to your Business? Presented For: Dallas CPA Society May 8 th, 2013
2 Employer Questions Is the transitional reinsurance fee tax deductible? What should my look back period be for determining full time status? What am I supposed to submit to HHC to verify that I am offering coverage to employees? Agenda How do employees know if they are eligible for a federal subsidy and how do they apply for that subsidy? Do I have to auto enroll all full time employees?
3 Agenda What do we know today? What are the key decisions Employers need to make? How does ACA change the way you need to think about your business and your overall strategy? Private Insurance Exchanges Pros and Cons
4 ACA What do we know today? 2013 will be a transitional year portfolio changes, renewal packages and carrier quoting systems are undergoing development work now to be ready for January 2014 Many of the 2014 provisions take effect on a group s first renewal or new business effective date on or after 1/1/14 (e.g., adjusted community rating, product rules) Insurance companies are restricted in the factors they can use to determine rates and underwriting for Individual and Small groups (under 50 employees) Those factors that can not be used are: Gender; Health status; Claims history; Medical underwriting and group size or industry
5 ACA What do we know today? Many of the ACA regulations have not been written by Health and Human Services (HHS) yet. This has created delays in the implementation of some of the provisions of ACA. The next 90 days will be critical to a successful 1/1/14 implementation Only 17 states plus DC have agreed to set up their own Insurance Exchanges with the Federal Government having to set up Exchanges in all other states (some are pursuing Federal/State Partnerships; 17 have opted out (Texas and Oklahoma) and many may still consider Federal/State Partnerships but have yet to do so to date The individual mandate tax is set: for 2014-$95 per adult or up to 1% of family income; for 2015-$325 per adult or up to 2% and for $695 per adult or up to 2.5%
6 ACA What do we know today? Individual Exchange subsidies are available only if no other available coverage is affordable or meets the minimum value requirement and the employees salary are within 133% -400% of the poverty line. If eligible, will employees apply for the exchange subsidies? Will people who buy insurance through the Federal Exchanges be able to find doctors to see? Indications from Insurance Companies are that they will have to only offer restricted networks to get to the price point required by HHS Wellness incentives and tobacco incentives have been increased to 30% and 50% respectively. Is your employer sponsored plan taking advantage of these incentives?
7 ACA What do we know today? ACA is not Healthcare Reform and will not reduce costs either in the short or long term. Fees, taxes, benefit requirements and rating will affect the cost of health care for employers during the next several years What will the cost of insurance be for the Federal Health Insurance Exchanges? Initial estimates by the Kaiser Foundation indicate that the cost for family coverage will be $20,000 annually ($1,667 per month) Initial Projections for the cost of Healthcare in 2014 are that costs are going up by the following size groups: Individual: +25% to +200%; Small Group: -5% to +50% and Large Group: +15% to +25% If employers do not opt out and decide to Play will fully insured plans be affordable or will partially self funded plans be the only cost effective option? Will captives become more popular with small employers looking to self funded with less risk?
8 Your New Federal Healthcare Program
9 What are the Key Decisions Employers Need to Make? Road Map of Healthcare Reform What is the impact of ACA on your business Pay or Play Determine your overall BUSINESS strategy Implement strategy and new plans if any; educate shareholders

13 Pay or Play Penalties for Employers Not Offering Affordable Coverage Under the Affordable Care Act Beginning in 2014 Start Here Yes Does the employer offer coverage to its workers? No Yes Does the insurance pay for at least 60% of covered health care expenses for a typical population? No Yes Do any employees have to pay more than 9.5% of family income for the employer coverage? No Yes There is no penalty required of the employer as it offers affordable coverage. Does the employer have at least 50 full-time equivalent employees? Did at least one employee receive a premium tax credit or cost sharing subsidy in an Exchange? Employees can choose to buy coverage in an Exchange and receive a premium tax credit. Employees can choose to buy coverage in an Exchange and receive a premium tax credit. No No No No Penalties do not apply to small employers. The employer must pay a penalty for not offering coverage. The employer must pay a penalty for not offering affordable coverage. If the employer has 25 or fewer employees and average wage up to $50,000, it may be eligible for a health insurance tax credit. The penalty is $2,000 annually times the number of full-time employees minus 30. The penalty is increased each year by the growth in insurance premiums. The penalty is $3,000 annually for each full-time employee receiving a tax credit, up to a maximum of $2,000 times the number of full-time employees minus 30. The penalty is increased each year by the growth in insurance premiums.
14 Affordability & Minimum Value Tests Under the proposed regulation, a health care plan may determine Minimum Value under one of three methods: Minimum Value Calculator; Safe Harbor Checklist; or Actuarial Certification Minimum Value Calculator based on continuance tables and a standard population reflecting claims data of typical self-insured employer plans Safe Harbor Checklist each checklist will describe the cost-sharing attributes of a plan applicable to four core categories of benefits: physician and mid-level practitioner care; hospital and emergency room services; pharmacy benefits; and laboratory and imaging services Actuarial Certification if an employer-sponsored plan contains non-standard features that aren t suitable for the use of the calculator and do not fit the safe harbor checklists, the proposed rule will permit minimum value to be determined by actuarial certification. HHS intends to issue applicable guidance regarding the actuarial analysis Affordability Cost for Employee only coverage can be no more than 9.5% of the lowest paid full time (30 hours per week) W-2 income for the lowest benefit plan

17 What Is Your Overall HR Business Strategy?
18 Health Insurance Plan Strategy What is my overall objectives and strategy for recruiting and retention of employees? You Need to structure your ACA strategy around your overall business strategy and also consider a multi-year strategy (3 years). If you as an employer offer an employer sponsored health insurance plan, then your insurance funding options are: Fully Insured Program Pay one price per month based on enrolled employees limited to no risk Can not win based on good claims experience Partially Self Funded Program Pay fixed costs monthly based on enrolled employees Fund actual claims as incurred Purchase stop loss to limit risk Captive Program (Partially Self Funded)
19 Private Insurance Exchanges Pros of Private Exchanges: 1. Cost certainty if defined contribution and costs remain flat 2. The looming excise tax on high cost coverage (the so-called Cadillac tax ) under PPACA 3. The potential for reduced administrative costs 4. Higher employee satisfaction if employer is not doing a good job communicating with employees 5. Outsource enrollment process 6. For small employers, group or bundled pricing which could reduce costs in the short term 7. Multiple options for employees to choose from 8. Becomes an individual decision by the employee
20 Private Insurance Exchanges Cons of Private Exchanges: 1. Plan design choices 2. Typically fully insured plan are offered on most private exchanges 3. Implications of adverse selection and cost increases if moving from a self -funded plan to a fully insured program 4. Setting the level of fixed contribution 5. The amount of plan choice too many choices will confuse employees 6. Geographic cost variation (if fully insured private exchange) 7. Worker preference of, and satisfaction with, employment-based coverage 8. Industry and competitive environment can you still recruit and retain key employees? 9. The role of employer as advocate in coverage disputes, delivery innovation and health care quality, and health literacy issues 10. Outsource enrollment process
