Premium Rates and Plan Cost Sharing Premium Rates Provisions of the ACA has significant impact on consumer rates for Among other things, premium rates are affected by: Coverage of all 10 essential health benefits and benchmark benefits Removal of annual and lifetime limitations 80/20 Medical/Loss, which requires Issuers to spend at least 80% of premium on medical care and efforts to improve quality care, and no more than 20% on administrative costs. Issuers cannot deny coverage due to pre-existing conditions Rating factors that only include age, tobacco use, and family composition.  Note that SADP rates are exempt from premium rating requirements, so dental premiums may still be individually underwritten. Tables on the following slides provide a list of QHP medical plans along with the deductible and out-of-pocket limits, and base premium rates. 6

Various Types of “Out-of-Pocket” Costs Premium - The premium is the cost of the health insurance plan for one year. It can usually be made in one lump sum payment or divided into monthly payments. Copay - Copayments are a set amount that must be paid out-of-pocket for medical services and prescriptions; the health insurance pays the rest of the amount. Each service or prescription may have a set copayment that is the responsibility of the insured. Copays do not apply to the enrollee’s deductible, coinsurance, or out-of-pocket maximum. In addition, not all services may require a copay.  Deductible - A deductible is a certain monetary amount that must be paid out-of-pocket before the health insurance will begin to cover health service costs. Out-of-pocket expenses that count towards a deductible include doctor visits, cost of prescriptions, and some medical equipment. Once the deductible has been paid, the health insurance will begin to cover medical expenses.  Coinsurance - Coinsurance is a health care cost sharing between the consumer and their insurance company. Coinsurance is the percentage you pay when your health plan pays less than 100% for covered services. Your health plan will not pay toward services with a coinsurance until you have paid your annual deductible. Maximum Out of Pocket (MOOP) - is the maximum amount of money the consumer would pay for medical services in a calendar year.

Premium Rates Definitions: The following terms are used in the tables on the next two pages : Adjusted Monthly Premium ($): The total amount that the consumer is expected to pay per month, after tax subsidies have been applied. Percent of FPL: This is a measure of income based on percentages at and above the Federal Poverty Limit. (i.e. 200% FPL means an income of 2x the federal poverty limit, which is $11,480 per year for individuals and varies for families based on family size). Annual Income: The amount of individual or household income per year. Premium Limit (%): The total percent of annual income an individual or family is expected to pay for healthcare premiums. It increases as income increases. Maximum Annual Premium ($): The total dollar amount that an individual or family is expected to pay annually in premiums, based on income. Monthly Subsidy ($): The total amount that will be paid by the federal government per month towards the payment of premiums*. Average Base Premium ($): The average base price of the premium that must be paid to the insurance company each month, before subsidies. An average is shown because premiums can vary by location. *Tax credits are not available for Catastrophic plans. 15

People who purchase coverage through the Marketplace may be able to lower costs on deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. The savings is based on income and family size. Issuers offering coverage through the Marketplace must lower the amount a person pays out of pocket for essential health benefits if the household income is below the following amounts. (Incomes below are based on 2013 numbers. They are likely to be slightly higher in Amounts are different for each family size, up to 8.)essential health benefits – Up to $28,725 for individuals – Up to $38,775 for a family of 2 – Up to $48,825 for a family of 3 – Up to $58,875 for a family of 4 – Up to $68,925 for a family of 5 – Up to $78,975 for a family of 6 – Up to $89,025 for a family of 7 – Up to $99,075 for a family of 8 When a person applies for coverage in the Marketplace, the person will learn if eligible for these savings on out-of-pocket costs.  Cost-sharing reductions are pegged to insurance rates for Silver plans 21
