4 How History Has Led us to Defined Contribution Healthcare #dchealth
5 History of U.S. Employer Health Insurance - The Beginning Creation of Modern U.S. Health Care Occurred Post-WWII Pre-WWII Post-WWII Limited employer involvement Catastrophic health insurance Local Blue Cross / Blue Shield Individual / family driven World War II Wage & Price Controls ( ) Employer-sponsored healthcare exempted from income taxes HUGE cost advantage to employer system
6 History of U.S. Employer Health Insurance, WW Tax Advantages - Group vs Individual Coverage Group policies enjoyed enormous tax advantages over individual: 1. Employers allowed to pay for group insurance off the books 2. Employees allowed to pay (via salary reduction) for group insurance "off the books"
7 History of U.S. Employer Health Insurance, Today Federal Government Gives Tax Parity to Individual Policies HRAs Health Reimbursement Arrangements for employer tax-free contributions PRAs Premium Reimbursement Arrangements for employee tax-free contributions Defined Contribution Health Benefits
8 New Defined Contribution vs. Traditional Defined Benefits #dchealth
9 "Defined Contribution" vs "Defined Benefit" Defined Contribution Healthcare Traditional Group Health Insurance No Minimum Contributions Business determines its own contribution strategy Requires Minimum Contribution Employers must contribute 50-75% of premium No Minimum Participation Business sets its own eligibility requirements No Administrative Hassle 1-time setup, less than 5 minutes per month, payroll function Requires Minimum Participation 50-75% of employees must participate in the plan Requires Administrative Work On-going paperwork, dedicated staff and annual renewals
10 Defined Contribution Overview - Simple The Employer Determines contributions 2. Sets eligibility 3. Picks start date 4. Enrolls employees 5. Sends welcome kits HUGE Opportunity The Employees Purchase individual policies 6. Reimburses employees for "claims" 2. Submit "claims" for reimbursement
11 How Brokers Benefit from Defined Contribution HUGE Opportunity 1. Purchase individual policies Relationship with employer and employees o Two Sales - 1) Employer and 2) Employee Employer = lead generator o Average annual turnover = 50% for small businesses New role - help employees choose vs sell o Like investment advisor helps employee choose best 401(k) investments

14 McKinsey Study: Health Reform & Defined Contribution "U.S. health care reform sets in motion the largest change in the post World War II era" 60% of educated employers plan to pursue alternatives to offering health insurance including "defined contribution" Parallels shift to 401ks
15 Demystifying the Buzzwords #dchealth
16 Demystifying the "Buzz" Words Defined Contribution Health Plans The plan or "arrangement through which the tax-free contributions flow: Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) - "ZaneHRA" o Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs) o Medical Expense Reimbursement Plans (MERPs) o Medical Expense Reimbursement Accounts (MERAs) o Health Reimbursement Plans (HRPs) o Section 105 plans Premium Reimbursement Arrangements (PRA) - "ZanePRA" o Premium Reimbursement Accounts (PRAs) o Premium Reimbursement Plans (PRPs) o Premium only Plans (POPs) o Section 125 plans

18 Understanding the Core Problem #dchealth
19 Solving a Big Problem Usually = Huge Opportunity Core Problem?Employer Health Insurance... COSTS TOO MUCH! Remember, employers offer insurance for recruiting & retention b/c: 1. It is tax deductible to the business 2. Employees get the benefit 100% tax-free 3. Individual health insurance is not guaranteed-issue in most states The IDEAL solution must address #1, #2, #3 & reduce or fix employer's cost.
20 How Defined Contribution Healthcare Addresses the Problem Employers offer group health today for recruiting & retention because: 1. It is tax deductible to the business 2. Employees get the benefit 100% tax-free 3. Individual health insurance is not guaranteed-issue in most states Today : Defined Contribution addresses #1 and #2; #3 is addressed via: Medicaid/Medicare/CHIP State Risk Pools PCIP beyond: Defined Contribution addresses #1, #2 and #3, & ACA provides: Massive federal subsidies available only in the Public Individual Exchange Individuals must purchase health insurance, or else pay a tax No penalty for companies with <50 FTEs Minimal Penalty for companies with >50 FTEs
