21 High Deductible Health Plans Implementing HDHP s paired with Health Savings Accounts was the 3 rd most common response for future cost saving strategies HSA s offer a unique triple tax advantage to employees: Contributions are tax-free Growth is tax-free Distribution on Qualified Medical Expenses are tax free HSA s are valuable tools that employers should encourage employees to utilize and protect whenever possible 2016 ARTHUR J. GALLAGHER & CO. BUSINESS WITHOUT BARRIERS 21
22 Case Study - Supplementing HDHPs with Worksite Benefits Challenge Implement a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) to reduce plan costs for both employer and contributions for employees Increased employee out of pocket exposure Pocket Contribution Savings Solution Supplement HDHP with Voluntary Accident and Critical Illness benefits Results Employer saves $200 per employee per year Employee saves net $42 per month in payroll deductions and reduces some risk of enrolling in HDHP Use Savings to Minimize Risk with Accident Plan Use Savings to Minimize Risk with Critical Illness Plan 2016 ARTHUR J. GALLAGHER & CO. BUSINESS WITHOUT BARRIERS 22
23 Emerging Trend: Employer Paid Worksite Benefits Employee Incentives Affect employee behavior Encourage enrollment migration (i.e. to a new HDHP) Employer Spend Reallocation Redirect current total rewards spending Reallocate of benefit funds toward worksite benefits Soft Landing Soften impact of major changes to core benefits Give back with a lower cost option Worksite Benefits provide an edge in the competition for talent 2016 ARTHUR J.

24 Rounding Out a Benefit Package Critical Illness Benefit Example Employees can offset costs with purchase of $20,000 Guarantee Issue* Critical Illness Policy A Critical Illness can mean additional expenses Travel for treatment Lodging for treatment Alternative treatments not traditionally covered by insurance Other Additional Expenses -Example is for illustrative purposes *$10K, $20K and $30K GI available as part of Benefits for Life program Medical Costs Employee Financial Concerns when Facing a Critical Illness A Critical Illness coincides with increased medical costs Employees deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums are growing every and often range into the $1,000s in potential exposure Potential Loss of Income A Critical Illness often means missing periods of work Disability plans only replace a portion of a employee s income 2016 ARTHUR J. GALLAGHER & CO. BUSINESS WITHOUT BARRIERS 24
25 Rounding Out a Benefit Package Accident Benefit Claim Example Example Employee Enrolled in HDHP Plan Emergency Room Visit for Fractured Arm Employee Enrolled in Aflac Accident Plan $100 Emergency Care $1,500 Deductible $200-20% Coinsurance for other services $15 Rx after deductible $1,400 Upper Arm Fracture $60 for 2 Follow-up Treatments Total of $1,715 Out-of-Pocket Expenses $1,560 Accident Plan Benefits 2016 ARTHUR J.

28 Enrollment The implementation of a voluntary benefit plan also offers a very unique value proposition to employers the opportunity to expand benefits for employees, give employees personalized education and interaction, and accomplish over-arching organization communication goals. Only salaried Benefit Counselors are used to meet individually with all employees to educate and facilitate enrollment Enrollment is completed on-site during normal working hours Enrollment data is forwarded to insurance carriers and policies are mailed directly to employee.
