Discussion Items BlueEdge HSASM High Deductible Health Plan Benefits – What are the benefits? Define the benefits Examples Difference between BlueEdge/BlueOptions Premium Difference Health Savings Account What is it? Advantages Eligibility Contribution Rules Benefit Wallet (Bank) Member Experience Rev 11-2013 EMI team * America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), Center for Policy and Research, 2013 Source: BlueEdge Value Story, 2012

What are the Benefit Differences BLUEOPTIONS BLUEEDGE PPO Provider Network BluePreferred (BP) BlueChoice (BC) BlueChoice Office Visit Copayments $30.00 Primary Care $50.00 Specialist No Office Visit Copayments Deductible $750.00 Individual BP/BC/$2,250 Family Embedded* $1,500 Deductible / $3,000 Family Aggregate* Coinsurance 80% In Network 80% Out of Pocket $4,250 Individual/$12,700 Family Embedded* $4,000 Individual/$8,000 Family Aggregate* Pharmacy Benefits $4.00 Generic $50.00 Preferred $100.00 Non Preferred Subject to Deductible and Out of Pocket Maximum – Member must meet deductible before insurance pays Savings Account with Investment Options No Yes Embedded - For services that are subject to the plan deductible, once the Individual Deductible is met, the member does not have to wait for the entire Family Deductible to be satisfied before benefits are payable. Aggregate - For services that are subject to the plan deductible, the entire Family Deductible must be satisfied before benefits are payable

BlueEdge High Deductible Office Visit Claim In Network OFFICE VISIT Member has an office visit for Bronchitis and seeks services from their PCP BlueEdge High Deductible BlueOptions Total Charge: $300.00 Allowable Charge: $250.00 Deductible: $250.00 Member Responsibility: $250.00 Total Charge: $300.00 Allowable Charge: $250.00 Office Visit Copay: $30.00 Deductible: $0.00 Member Responsibility: $30.00 BlueEdge Plan - The members responsibility is $250.00 because there is no office visit copayment on the plan. EVERYTHING, except preventative care will apply to the benefit period deductible before health insurance is paid.

BlueEdge High Deductible Preventative Claim In Network OFFICE VISIT Member has a routine physical BlueEdge High Deductible BlueOptions Total Charge: $200.00 Allowable Charge: $175.00 Member Responsibility: $0.00 Total Charge: $200.00 Allowable Charge: $175.00 Member Responsibility: $0.00 Both plans cover preventative care at 100% of allowable charge. ***Preventative care is the ONLY type of services that will be covered at 100% of allowable when deductible and out of pocket have not been satisfied.

Taking a look at the Hospitalization Claim – Total Benefit Perspective BlueEdge Vs. BlueOptions INPATIENT Member is inpatient and has employee only coverage. BlueEdge BlueOptions Total Charge: $30,000.00 Allowable Charge: $20,000.00 Deductible: $ 1,500.00 20% after Deductible: $ 2,500.00 BCBSOK Paid: $16,000.00 Member Responsibility: $ 4,000.00 Total Charge: $30,000.00 Allowable Charge: $20,000.00 Deductible: $ 750.00 20% after Deductible: $3,500.00 BCBSOK Paid: $16,000.00 Member Responsibility: $ 4,250.00 In this scenario, the member is out of pocket less money because the member out of pocket is lower on the BlueOptions Plan for Employee Only Coverage.

Hospitalization In-Network OFFICE VISIT Member is inpatient and has Family Coverage. No other member has had any claims process for the current year. BlueOptions BlueEdge High Deductible Total Charge: $30,000.00 Allowable Charge: $20,000.00 Deductible: $ 3,000.00 20% after Deductible: $ 5,000.00 BCBSOK Paid: $12,000.00 Member Responsibility: $ 8,000.00 Total Charge: $30,000.00 Allowable Charge: $20,000.00 Deductible: $ 750.00 20% after Deductible: $ 5,000.00 BCBSOK Paid: $15,750.00 Member Responsibility: $ 4,250.00 BlueEdge Plan – The provider can bill the member $3,000 at the time of service when they verify benefit coverage during the admissions process. Family deductible is aggregate which means the entire deductible must be met prior to any payment by BCBSOK. BlueOptions – The provider can bill $750.00 at the time of service when they verify benefits coverage during the admission process. Family deductible is embedded, unlike the BlueEdge High Deductible plan, the individual only has to meet their individual deductible and out of pocket maximum amounts.

Pharmacy Claim Member fills a brand name prescription at the pharmacy. BlueEdge High Deductible BlueOptions Total Charge: $175.00 Allowable Charge: $125.00 Deductible: $125.00 Member Responsibility: $125.00 Total Charge: $175.00 Allowable Charge: $125.00 Copayment: $50.00 Member Responsibility: $50.00 BlueEdge Plan The member will receive a discount at the time of purchase at the pharmacy. There is no copayment for the BlueEdge plan so the member will be required to pay the entire discounted amount at the time of purchase. The claim is transmitted to BCBSOK to apply to the deductible. When the deductible is satisfied, then the member would only be required to pay 20% at the time of purchase.

What are the 2015 premium differences BENEFIT BLUEOPTIONS BLUEEDGE PPO Premium Difference Annualized Employee Only Coverage $491.40 $390.94 $100.46 $1,205.52 Employee and Spouse $1230.50 $978.96 $251.54 $3,018.48 Employee and Dependent $890.70 $708.66 $182.04 $2,184.48 Family $1618.86 $1287.62 $331.24 $3,974.88

What is an HSA? An HSA must be used in combination with a qualified high-deductible health plan (HDHP) A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a tax-exempt account established exclusively for the purpose of paying qualified medical expenses. A higher annual deductible Out-of-pocket maximum applies only to covered expenses No First dollar coverage (100%) except for preventive care benefits without a deductible Rev 11-2013 EMI team High Deductible Health Plan Design An HSA must be used in conjunction with a qualified high-deductible health plan (HDHP) A qualified high-deductible health plan has: A higher annual deductible than typical health plans The out-of-pocket maximum applies only to covered expenses. Out-of-pocket expenses include copayments, deductible and other amounts, but do not include premiums May provide preventive care benefits without a deductible or with a deductible below the minimum annual deductible Preventive care does not include any service or benefit intended to treat an existing illness, injury, or condition 10

TO BE ELIGIBLE YOU: Must be enrolled in an HSA-compatible High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) May not have other first dollar medical coverage If an employee enrolls on the HDHP and uses the HSA option, they could not also be covered under their spouses plan that is NOT HDHP compatible meaning it could not have an office visit copayment, or first dollar coverage under pharmacy. May not be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return May not be enrolled in Medicare An individual can be Medicare eligible and have an HSA. However, once enrolled in Medicare contributions to the HSA account must stop. The individual can keep any funds in the account prior to enrolling in Medicare and use those funds to pay for qualified medical expenses tax-free.

HSA CONTRIBUTION RULES If made by the individual outside a cafeteria plan, contributions are a tax-free deduction If made by the employer, contributions are not taxable to the employee (excluded from income) Contributions can be made by others on behalf of the individual and deducted by the individual If an individual has more than one HSA, the aggregate annual contributions made to all the HSAs are subject to the limit Rev 11-2013 EMI team HSA Contribution Rules If made by the individual outside a cafeteria plan, contributions are an “above-the line” deduction, which is tax-free. If made by the employer, contributions are not taxable to the employee (excluded from income). Contributions can be made by others on behalf of the individual and deducted by the individual. If an individual has more than one HSA, the aggregate annual contributions made to all the HSAs are subject to the limit. All contributions must be aggregated. All HSA contributions made by or on behalf of an eligible individual are combined for purposes of applying the limit.
