1 USF PHYSICIANS GROUP Department of Human Resources Consumer Driven Health Plans with United Healthcare (UHC) OPEN ENROLLMENT July 2009 PRESENTED BY THE USFPG DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES

2 Changes to our Healthcare Replacing United POS and POS Plus with United HRA and HRA Plus. –HRA is short for Health Reimbursement Account plan. Also called a “consumer driven health plan” or an “account-based health plan”. Benefit value of the HRA plans is equivalent to the current POS plans Deductible now on the Plan Year (July-June), not a Calendar Year Payroll deductions will be for all 26 pay periods

3 But first… No change to:  Short term and long term disability Insurance  Life insurance  Dental insurance  Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account maximums Change to:  Biweekly premiums for all benefits changing for deduction from 24 paychecks to 26  Increase in the Health Care Flexible Spending Account maximum from $2,400 to $4,000 for the Plan Year  The Flexible Spending Account reimbursements will be administered by UHC. Details will be forthcoming.

4 CONSUMER DRIVEN HEALTH PLANS (CDHP) HRA Plans – An Overview Health Coverage Member Responsibility Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) Preventive Care Plan Yr DeductibleJuly 2009-June 2010 Preventive care covered 100% Employer provided HRA Member Responsibility is Plan Year Deductible less HRA Health coverage is coinsurance with an out-of-pocket maximum

6 Family Deductible How does the family deductible work for Family Coverage? Works just like the POS plans today. No one person will be out of pocket more than an individual (i.e. $1,000 Individual/$2,000 Family)

7 Member Responsibility $1000/$2000 (In Network) HRA $500/$1,000 Preventive Care 100% Health Coverage 20% In Network 40% Out of Network HRA and HRA Plus Plan YrDeductibleJuly 2009-June 2010 HRA Member Responsibility $1000/$2000 (In Network) HRA $500/$1,000 Preventive Care 100% Health Coverage 20% In Network 40% Out of Network Member Responsibility $700/$1400 (In Network) HRA $500/$1,000 Preventive Care 100% Health Coverage 20% In Network 40% Out of Network Plan YrDeductibleJuly 2009-June2010 HRA Plus

8 Prescriptions The pharmacy benefit is part of the basic medical coverage. It is subject to deductible and coinsurance, as any other covered service or treatment. There are no co-pays in the CDHPs. Mail order program for convenience of home delivery is available continued

9 More RX information… The full cost of a prescription will be paid first from the HRA account, and if funds are exhausted, the cost will be part of the Member Responsibility. Once the deductible is met, the plan will pay 80% and the member will pay the 20% coinsurance up to the Out of Pocket Maximum.

10 RX Example #1: For a 30-day supply at Pharmacy A CholesterolRetail Cost BRAND: Lipitor 10 mg tabs$ GENERIC: Not available Half-tablet Program: 15 tablets (20 mg)$73.03 Discuss alternatives with your physician BRAND: Mevacor 40 mg tablets$ GENERIC: Lovastatin 40 mg tablets OR $49.99 Lovastatin 20 mg tablets X2$4.00 {Pharmacy A “Savings Plan”}

11 RX Example #2: High Blood PressureRetail Cost BRAND: Norvasc 10 mg tablets$57.48 (Pharmacy B, $97.99) GENERIC: Amlodipine Besylate 10 mg tabs$53.99 (at Pharmacy B) OR $4.00 {Pharmacy A, “Savings Plan”}

12 HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK? The Provider submits a claim to United Healthcare, then: If HRA funds are available, UHC pays the claim If HRA funds have been utilized, you will receive a bill and you will pay any Member Responsibility amount If HRA funds and Member Responsibility have been met, UHC will pay the insured amount, and you will receive a bill for the coinsurance When you have claim activity, you will receive a Health Statement, or you may view the information online

13 Health Care Flexible Spending Account Contributions to FSA are pre-tax Reimbursements are tax-free Use to cover out-of-pocket expenses “Use it or Lose it” FSA works well with HRA plan Option to enroll in medical automatic claim forwarding –Medical and pharmacy payments can be sent to the Provider –Reimbursements can be sent to you or deposited directly to your account Balances and activity on
