A Q UICK L OOK AT B ENEFITS FOR 2014/15 Faculty Senate

R EVIEW OF THE P ROCESS Rice has had the same set of health plans for the past 11 years These plans have served us well, but Health care is changing nationally and locally, and As a best practice, we needed to review our options to determine what will work for Rice for the next 5-10 years The benefits committee endorsed the review process and provided feedback throughout HR updated the Faculty Senate on this process on December 4, /26/2014 2

G OALS FOR THE H EALTH P LANS The benefits committee annually discusses changes to plan design and proposed rates against a background of key goals for the plans. These goals include: Ensuring affordability of plans for employees of all income levels, with special attention to keeping the HMO, our most populated and least expensive plan, affordable. Ensuring choice, so that networks are broad and there is access to out-of-network providers in some options. Emphasizing preventative care, wellness and healthy behavior (such as case management for chronic illnesses and zero copays for high blood pressure therapy, increasing copays for emergency room treatment in lieu of primary care, and providing an “employee clinic” at Baylor College of Medicine). Keeping the plan financially sound for both employees and Rice (keeping generic drug costs low, driving business to urgent care vs. emergency rooms, encouraging participation in the lowest-cost plan). Keeping the plans equitable (making sure one plan is not unduly subsidizing the expenses of another plan). 3 02/26/2014

R EVIEW OF I NSURANCE C OMPANIES Rice requested proposals from the 4 major insurance companies in Houston: Aetna Blue Cross/Blue Shield CIGNA UnitedHealth Care We looked at the services provided as compared to Aetna’s current Rice offering We also asked them to propose plan designs that will meet the unique needs of the university Aetna was selected and they remain the best choice for Rice 4 02/26/2014

C URRENT L ANDSCAPE Rice currently offers the following plans (and enrollment in each plan): However, if we look at newly hired faculty and staff, we see a slightly different picture: 5 02/26/2014

C URRENT L ANDSCAPE Enrollment in the HMO and PPO are declining, whereas the POS is rising: 6 02/26/2014

C URRENT L ANDSCAPE The HMO remains the most cost effective plan and the PPO the least cost effective on a per employee per year basis: 7 02/26/2014

C URRENT L ANDSCAPE HMO remains the plan of choice (62% overall) The POS plan has grown in popularity The catastrophic plan is not sustainable HR and the benefits committee also want to offer another, lower cost option for our faculty and staff The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is increasing pressure on all health plans Increased regulation Fees Pressure to keep plan designs not as rich 40% excise tax in 2018 The PPO plan needs revitalization 8 02/26/2014

N EW M EDICAL P LANS FOR All plans will have a new, increased level of customer service from Aetna (concierge customer service) Lower cost, limited network Memorial Hermann Accountable Care Organization (ACO) plan Limited to 505 primary care doctors and 1,395 specialists (as compared to 3,056/9,330 in current HMO) MD Anderson, St. Luke’s, Methodist, and Baylor College of Medicine not available in the ACO plan Aetna HMO Same plan as currently offered, but with minimal copay changes National service area (you can elect the HMO anywhere in the US) Aetna POS II Same plan as currently offered, but with copay and out-of-pocket maximum changes Broader network of doctors than current POS plan National service area (you can elect the POS II anywhere in the US) 9 02/26/2014

N EW M EDICAL P LANS FOR High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) PPO, but with higher deductible ($1,750 individual/$5,250 family) Coinsurance for doctors office visits (no copayments) Prescriptions subject to the deductible Significantly lower premiums than current PPO (21.1% less) Using the same Aetna POS II network (very little disruption from PPO) Offered with Health Savings Account (HSA), which is more flexible than the current medical spending account Funds carry-over from year to year (no “use it or lose it” provision) In 2014, the annual pre-tax contribution limits are $3,300 for individuals and $6,550 for families Account is portable, should you leave Rice, and you can invest the contributions for long-term growth Cannot enroll in medical spending account Cannot enroll in HSA if covered by other insurance, including Medicare Unlike the medical spending account, the HSA funds are not all available on day one 10 02/26/2014

M EDICAL R ATES FOR /26/2014
