1 Self-Insurance Estimating Conference State Employees' Health Insurance Trust Fund Last conference held: July 26, 2007 Executive Summary The outlook for the State Employees Health Insurance Trust Fund has improved somewhat from the February forecast. The projected ending balance of the fund gained from $173.3 million to $175.7 million, and the projected ending balance increased from $2.2 million to $60.7 million. The conference also adopted its first outlooks for and , which show operating deficits of $287.9 million and $471.2 million, respectively. There are significant changes projected in revenues to the trust fund ($19.5 million in and $91.6 million in ). The largest increase is as a result of an increase in premium rates of 5% effective in June of 2008, which results in higher income of $5.3 million in and $64.5 million in Additionally there are adjustments made for increasing employee enrollment projections and category fluctuations, which includes migration out of the TRICARE program, resulting in higher income of $14.8 million in and $21.2 million in Other smaller adjustments in revenues (including a decrease in the Tri-Care surplus) sum to -$.6 million in and $5.9 million in There are also significant increases to the expense forecasts ($17.1 million in and $35.5 million in ). PPO medical claims are projected to be $7.9 million in higher in and $10.3 million higher in , due to an increase in projected enrollment ($2.3 million in and $2.9 million in ) and the repeal of the Florida Motor Vehicle No-Fault law, effective October 1, 2007 ($5.6 million in and $7.4 million in ). HMO premiums are expected to be $11.8 million higher in and $18.3 million higher in due to increased projected enrollment and a higher than anticipated negotiated weighted-average premium increase for Plan Year 2008 (due partially to the repeal of the Florida Motor Vehicle No- Fault law, effective October 1, 2007). The PPO Prescription Drug Program claims are expected to be $2.8 million lower in due to a decrease in the member population size and changes in utilization and generic dispensing, and $ 6.6 million higher in due to an increase in projected utilization and a change in the member population size. The ASO fee is projected to be $.2 million higher in and $.3 million higher in due to an increase in projected enrollment.
