7 Task #2 Create a Healthcare Consumerism Visions Statement Starting with the identification of Basic Principles (Task #1),discuss ratings and levels of importance of top selected principles for the organization. Discussing and respectfully debating the principles will lead to key words that can be put into a simplified vision statement. A Vision Statement should be a simple and concise declaration of why the company intents implement healthcare consumerism. *
9
8 Task #2 – Sample Healthcare Consumerism Vision Statements Sample Vision Statements: 1. Providing high performing highly educated employees and their families with the security of comprehensive health and healthcare coverage that meets their diverse needs and rewards their personal involvement and responsibility as wise users of services to optimize their individual health status and functionality. 2. Affect employee behavior change towards healthier lifestyles and greater consumerism through the use of rewards and incentives. 3. Make employees better consumers of healthcare services by providing them with the necessary health education, decision support tools and useful information including provider cost and quality data. 4. Encourage greater employee awareness and involvement in healthcare and financial decision making, as a building block towards a defined contribution strategy for healthcare in the future.
10
9 Sample Vision Statement: Create health and healthcare program options valued by employees that adapt effectively to environmental trends that increase the quality of services, improve access to care, and lower costs. Task #2 – Sample Consumerism Vision Statement Positioning to Balance Cost, Quality, and Access Access Cost Quality Consumer Valued Quality Consumer with Financial Stake, Engagement & Transparency Demand Driven Controls Uncertain, Clinically Oriented Third Party Reimbursement Supply Driven Controls *
11
10 Task #3: A Check List to Create a Healthcare Consumerism Strategy Current Benefits, Design Issues, Service Issues, General Concerns, Anti-selection issues, Reasons for Change, Interests in Consumerism, Driving Forces for Change, Perceptions of Employee Satisfaction, Dissatisfaction Other Problems and Positives with Current Plans *
12
11 Task #3 - Identification of Acceptable Strategies High Priority...Low Priority 1.Create Transparency – support “employee’s right to know,” minimize distortions of third-party reimbursement system, create transparency in costs, provide education/ training on healthcare costs, use decision support programs. 1 2 3 4 5 2.Create Personal Involvement – establish greater financial involvement through HDHPs, HRAs or HSAs, reward good behavior, offer valued options, provide long term incentives, provide immediate feedback. 1 2 3 4 5 3. Be Bold and Creative - Shift from supply-side controls to demand-side control designs. Be an early adopter/fast follower, consider out-of-the box ideas. 1 2 3 4 5 4. Focus on High Cost “Pareto” Population - Provide financial protection to families in need due to high unexpected medical costs and/or chronic conditions 1 2 3 4 5 *
13
12 Task #3 - Identification of Acceptable Strategies Continued Important…Not Important 5. Focus on Saving Lives and Improving Health – Focus on improving the health of the entire population regardless of plan design selected. Implement prevention & wellness for long term savings and DM for immediate impact. 1 2 3 4 5 6. Focus on Preventive Care – Create incentive programs that change behaviors towards acceptance and compliance with wellness and early intervention, including pre-natal, non-smoking, diet, exercise, and safety 1 2 3 4 5 7. Minimize Impact of Cost Shifting – Use consumerism as an alternative to increased cost shifting or higher contributions. 1 2 3 4 5 8. Implement Optional Consumerism – Provide new programs and plan options on a voluntary basis. 1 2 3 4 5
14
13 Task #3 - Identification of Acceptable Strategies Continued High Priority…Low Priority 9. Implement Change on a Multi-Year Program – Establish a consumer-centric program with a pre- determined multi-year introduction of options and use of accumulated HRAs and/or options. 1 2 3 4 5 10. Focus on Information Sharing Only – Provide ees with decision support systems and information sources w/o accounts or incentives to reward behavioural change. 1 2 3 4 5 11. Use Packaged Programs – use full integration of plan design, information, disease management, and decision support systems from single vendor. 1 2 3 4 5 12. Use Existing Vendors – develop consumerist programs through current vendor relationships only. 1 2 3 4 5 13. Use “Best of Class” Programs – use selected vendors that May overlay core benefit designs as long as integration is Non-disruptive and transparent to members 1 2 3 4 5
15
14 Dominating Options: Supply Controls or Demand Controls? Plan Sponsors and Members have two basic choices to control costs: 1. Traditional Managed Care & HMOs - The “supply of care” is limited by a third party who controls the access to medical services (e.g. utilization reviews, medical necessity, gatekeepers, formularies, scheduling, types of services allowed), or 2. Healthcare Consumerism - The member controls their “demand for care” because of a direct and significant financial involvement in the cost of care, rewards for compliance, and the information to make wise health and healthcare value driven decisions. *
16
15 Mega Trends Leading to More Demand Control 1. Personal Responsibility 2. Self-Help, Self-Care 3. Individual Ownership 4. Portability 5. Transparency (the Right to Know) 6. Consumerism (Empowerment) *
17
Healthcare Consumerism is about transforming an employer’s health benefit plan into one that puts economic purchasing power—and decision-making—in the hands of participants. It’s about supplying the information and decision support tools they need, along with financial incentives, rewards, and other benefits that encourage personal involvement in altering health and healthcare purchasing behaviors. 16 Healthcare Consumerism - Defined “The job of a leader is to create the possible” – Condi Rice *
18
17 Consumerism – Saving Lives & Saving Money The Moral Imperative for Consumerism: Increasing the Quality of Care, Better Health, and Improving Lives The Economic Imperative for Consumerism: Saving Money (Lower Product Prices and More Jobs) *
19
18 Objectives Of Healthcare Consumerism Change participant health and healthcare purchasing behaviors Narrow market cost and quality variations using “patient power” Increase transparency of healthcare costs to plan participants Give plan participants more control over and “shared responsibility” for managing own healthcare and related costs Supply participants with the tools to act as better informed healthcare consumers Reduce Discretionary costs through informed purchasing & incentives Reduce Acute Care costs with incentive hospital reimbursements by tiering based upon cost and quality Reduce Chronic Care costs through improved adherence with treatments and disease/condition management programs Reduce Long Term costs with added incentives/rewards for “good health” *
20
19 Basic Requirements for Successful Healthcare Consumerism Must work for the sickest members, as well as the healthy Must work for those not wanting to get involved in decision-making, as well as those that do *
21
20 The Core of Consumerism The Unifying Theme for a Health and Healthcare Strategy is: Behavioral Change “Implement only if it supports behavioral change consistent with the principles and selected strategies” *
22
21 Healthcare Consumerism Roles & Responsibilities / Implications Plan Members Increased responsibility for own health & healthcare Involved in own treatment and medical necessity decisions Improved access to care Involved in financial costs of health & healthcare (P4C) Employers Facilitators of change Health Literacy: Provide increased information and decision making tools Improved employee morale with choice and access Link to productivity, absenteeism, disability, turnover, etc. Consumerism can improve costs/budgeting (current & future) *
23
22 Healthcare Consumerism Roles & Responsibilities / Implications Payers (Self-Insured Employers) Focus on high cost case mgmt/disease mgmt/population mgmt Will become responsible for more communications, training, education direct to consumers, healthcare literacy Value added services may change, including transactions and asset management Diminished role of managed care for routine care Providers More direct involvement with patients and treatment Service and quality will be determined by consumers Pricing will become more flexible and visible (P4P) Overall implications Roles will change for all players The picture change quickly - your strategies must prepare you for rapid market changes *
24
23 Changing Role for Plan Members Plan Member / Consumerism Choices: Wellness Preventive care Early Intervention Lifestyle Options (diet, exercise, smoking, safety) Self-help, self care (Health literacy) Discretionary Expenses (e.g. OV, ER, Rx) Value purchasing (e.g. DXL, o/p vs. in/p, online) Participation in Condition Management Programs Adherence to Medical Treatment Plans *

34 HSAs and HRAs - Two Very Different Accounts to Support Consumerism HSA (2003 Medicare Modernization Act) - A law, with specific requirements and benefit design requirements. - Most TAX ADVANTAGED vehicle ever created HRAs (6/26/2002) - A regulatory creation based upon an IRS ruling - Most FLEXIBLE vehicle ever created *
36
35 Health Savings Accounts – Advantage Employees Tax-free savings vehicles for medical expenses, no use-it-or- lose-it rule Effective January 1, 2004 Eligibility: must be covered under high deductible health plan (HDHP) Portable *
37
36 Health Savings Accounts Individual accounts To permit saving for qualified medical and retiree health expenses on a tax-free basis Must be offered in conjunction with a legally defined HDHP - “High Deductible Health Plan” Portable An HSA is owned by the individual, similar to IRAs, and transfers if the employee changes jobs Held in a trust or custodial account; trustees – banks, insurance companies, approved non-bank trustees
38
37 HSAs – Real Dollars, Portable, Vested Can be used or taken in cash at anytime, even when no longer eligible to make contributions Tax-free if used to pay for qualified medical expenses (IRC Section 213(d)) For other purposes, subject to income tax and 20% penalty - 20% penalty waived in case of death or disability - 20% penalty waived for distributions after age 65 or older HSA can be transferred tax-free to spouse on death; otherwise taxable to estate or beneficiary Transfers upon divorce, nontaxable, becomes spouse’s HSA *
39
38 2016 HSA Eligible HDHP High Deductible Health Plan – By Law Self-only: a deductible of at least $1,300; maximum HSA is $3,350; no more than $6,550 maximum out-of pocket expenses (incl. Ded.) Family coverage: a deductible of at least $2,600; maximum HSA is $6,750; no more than $13,100 on out-of pocket expenses (incl. Ded.) 2016+ Age 55 and over catch up amount of $1,000 Preventive services are not subject to the deductible OK for out of network costs to exceed maximum out-of pocket limits
40
39 HRAs- Advantage Employers Notional Accounts, Er Controlled Rules Employer does not fund $$’s so has no cash flow value Employer can determine rules for HRA usage; they are subject to forfeiture; they are not portable, but can be subject to vesting HRAs are more flexible in plan design, can tailor scope of reimbursements, are less costly for employer Employer decides if HRA can be used for (1) medical plan expenses not otherwise reimbursed, (2) non-plan QME 213(d), and/or (3) insurance premiums *

42 Wellness - Defined Wellness is a proactive organized program providing lifestyle and medical/clinical assistance to employees and their family members in maintaining good health. Wellness programs encourage voluntary behavior changes and support compliance with proven approaches to maintain health, reduce health risks and enhance their individual productivity. *
44
43 Wellness – The Need For every 100 members: 23-30% smoke (70% want to quit, 35% try each year) 29% have high blood pressure 30% have cardiovascular disease 80% do not exercise regularly 55% or more are overweight or obese 30% are prone to low back pain (many linked to obesity) 6-9% have diabetes 10% are depressed 35% are under significant stress 50% do not wear their seat belts *
45
44 Wellness – The Desire for Change For every 100 members: 47% are trying to improve their diet 37% plan to undergo some health screening 30% state they exercise regularly Only 23% are aware of the health promotion and wellness programs offered by their employer sponsored health plans 76% of employers with over 11,000 employees offer health management programs
46
45 Wellness – Planning Will the wellness program be for employees only, or employees and dependents? Will you purchase from vendor, internally developed, or a combination Consider in conjunction with plan covered wellness benefits (immunizations, mammograms, screening, EAP, physical exams, pre-natal care, well child care, etc.) Consider in conjunction with worksite programs (safety, ergonomics, work-life programs, etc.) Incentives/rewards provided for compliance
47
46 Wellness - How Does It Impact Employees and Family Members? Well e.g., Low Risk, Good Nutrition, Active Lifestyle At-Risk / Acute Condition e.g., Inactivity, High Stress, Overweight, High Blood Pressure, Smoking Chronically-Ill e.g., Diabetes, Musculoskeletal, Heart Disease, Asthma, MH/SA Catastrophic e.g., Cancer, Rare Diseases, Head Trauma No Claims Generally Healthy O/P (Low) In/P (High) MaternityO/P (Low)In/P (High) % Ee 15% 48% 14% 3% 12%4%1% % $ 0% 12% 15% 12%5% 21% 20% 15% % Ee 63%20%17% % $ 12%32%56% Prevention Wellness – Lifestyle Wellness - Lifestyle Minimize Acute Episodes Minimize Complications Maximize Recoveries Maximize Stabilization Early Intervention Wellness - Clinical Traditional Wellness Programs *

49 ACA Preventive Care Services Primary Prevention is aimed at preventing the on-set of disease. Examples: Immunizations and promotion of physical activity. Secondary Prevention is aimed at treating a disease after its onset, but before it causes serious complications. Examples: Identifying individuals at risk and providing early intervention. Tertiary Prevention is aimed at treating the late or final stages so as to minimize the degree of disability. *
51
50 ACA Preventive Care Mandate The Patient Protection and Affordable care Act (PPACA) mandates that all insurance companies that are not grandfathered and all new plans must cover preventive services without cost-sharing requirements that are: Graded “A” or “B” by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), Certain immunizations; Preventive services for infants, children, adolescents and women as provided in guidelines developed by HHS’s Health Resources and Services Administration. While many may believe that the legislation uses only USPSTF A&B recommendations, the actual law includes other sources for developing and maintaining the list of required services. *
52
51 Entities Impacting ACA Preventive Care Mandates (1) United States Preventive Services Task Force: evidence-based items or services that have a recommendation rating of ‘A’ or ‘B’ (2) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention immunizations: recommendations from the (ACIP/CDC Immunization website), and ‘(3) Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA): a. with respect to infants, children, and adolescents, evidence- informed preventive care and screenings ‘b. with respect to women, such additional preventive care and screenings not described in paragraph (1) as provided for in their comprehensive guidelines *
53
52 New Preventive Care Mandates Since ACA Enactment CT Scans for High-risk Smokers Who: High-risk smokers covered for insurance under Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance. When: Starting January 1, 2015 or the beginning of their next plan year. What: The USPSTF improved the grading of annual low-dose CT screening for individuals at high risk for lung cancer from an “I” to a “B” Grade. Children’s Fluoride Varnish Treatments Who: Children covered for insurance under Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance (individual and group plans whether insured or self-insured) When: Starting the later of January 1, 2015 or the beginning of their next plan year. What: The USPSTF recommendation “B” to include fluoride varnish to the primary teeth of all infants and children starting with primary tooth eruption. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Who: Males covered for insurance under private insurance (individual and group plans whether insured or self-insured) When: Starting January 1, 2015 or the beginning of their next plan year. What: The USPSTF changed its recommendation to “B” for plans to include one-time screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) by ultrasonography in Men ages 65 to 75 years who “have ever” smoked. *

55 Condition Management - Defined Condition Management is an proactive organized program providing lifestyle and medical/clinical assistance to employees and their family members with chronic and persistent conditions. Condition Management programs encourage voluntary behavior changes and support compliance with proven medical practices which stabilize conditions, reduce health risks and enhance their individual productivity. *
57
56 Condition Management – The Need 60+% of an employer’s total medical costs come from chronic and persistent diseases such as, diabetes, asthma, congestive heart failure, back pain, and depression. 45% of Americans live with at least one chronic disease. 14% live with two or more chronic diseases. 76% of hospitalizations, 72% of physician visits, and 88% of Rx is due to chronic conditions The average cost of health care for a diabetic is $13,200/yr compared to $2,600/yr for a non-diabetic. 61 million Americans live with cardiovascular disease 50% of chronic disease deaths are traced to cardiovascular disease. Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of premature permanent disability. Obesity is becoming the #1 preventable cause of death *
58
57 Condition Management – The Desire for Change Very Little under Traditional System: 50% do not follow recommended standards of care 33% with high blood pressure do not know 33% of diabetics do not know it Patient’s lack of knowledge and information Patients without financial incentives to change health and healthcare behaviors Distortions of current 3 rd party reimbursement medical financing system. Plans pay for treatments not prevention or compliance Physicians without incentives to take time and effort to deal effectively with chronic conditions *

60 Condition Management – Elements for a Successful Program There are four elements of a successful disease management: 1. A delivery system of health care professionals and organizations closely coordinating to provide medical care and support the patient’s compliance throughout the course of a disease. 2. A process that monitors the compliance and describes outcome- based care guidelines for targeted patients. 3. A process for continuous improvement that measures clinical behavior, refines treatment standards, and improves the quality of care provided. 4. Incentive awards that support the condition management medical and clinical care services

74
73 Wellness Incentives – Outcomes Based While HIPAA & ACA generally prohibits plans from differentiating benefits or premiums based on health status, employers can still design and implement wellness programs with financial incentives. Only a "bona fide wellness program" can provide a reward based on a health standard or health outcome. To be a "bona fide wellness program," the law specifies that the program must meet four requirements: 1. Limit the reward to a specified amount (not to exceed 30% under PPACA, can be up to 50% with nicotine use). 2. Be reasonably designed to promote health or prevent disease. 3. Be available to all similarly situated individuals. There must be a feasible alternative for those that cannot reach the health standard because of a medical condition. 4. Inform employees that individual accommodations and alternatives are available. - National Business Group on Health *

74 Rewards & Incentives for Smoking Cessation The NGBH conducted a Quick Survey on "Smoking Cessation Incentives/Disincentives." The results from 26 respondents showed: 69% of the respondents offered discounts on annual health care premiums/contributions for non-smokers, and 15% offered another type of benefit enhancement. Similarly, 45% of the respondents offered premium discounts for employees that participated in smoking cessation/wellness programs. 57% included smoking cessation as part of a broader wellness initiative/incentives at the worksite. - National Business Group on Health

75 The National Business Group on Health and Fidelity Investments survey : * 73% of Employers used incentives in 2011 in their health improvement programs. * The average incentive value was $460 (2010:$430 and 2009: $260). * Incentives used by employers include cash, gift cards and contributions to health savings accounts (HSA). * A small but growing percentage of employers link eligibility for enrollment in their health care plans to participation in health improvement programs. * 7% of employers in 2011 required completion of a health risk assessment for employees to be eligible for health care plan coverage, and * 10% will link completion of an HRA to plan eligibility in 2012. The survey is based on the responses of 139 employers, ranging in size from 1,000 employees to 100,000 employees. NBGH Study
77
76 A Quest Diagnostic report showed 60% of employees who participate in wellness programs report that the incentive is a deciding factor in their choice to participate. Incentives have been so successful in increasing participation that approximately two-thirds of the employers who invest in employee wellness use an incentive to drive employee participation. Bio-metrics (e.g. blood pressure, cholesterol, body mass index, waist size, and A1(c)) are popular as measuring standards for improved outcomes. Quest Diagnostic Report *

Health care spending also was lower among families enrolled in high-deductible plans that had HSAs. Account based plans are a good start, but if the goal is to change member behaviors and to engage them to make better informed health and healthcare decisions more than a new plan design is needed.

101 Healthcare Consumerism Experience Results
103
102 American Academy of Actuaries 2009 Non-partisan CDH Consumerism Studies 1 st Year Savings: The total savings generated could be as much as 12 percent to 20 percent in the first year. - All studies showed a drop in costs in the first year of a CDH plan from -4 percent to -15 percent. A control population of traditional plans experienced increases of +8 percent to +9 percent. 2+ Year Savings: At least two of the studies indicate trend rates lower than traditional PPO plans by approximately 3 percent to 5 percent. - If these lower trends can be further validated, it will represent a substantial cost-reduction strategy for employers and employees. Cost Shifting: The studies indicated that while the possibility for employer cost-shifting exists with CDH plans, (as it does with traditional plans) most employers are not doing so, and might even be reducing employee cost-sharing under certain circumstances. 102
104
103 2011 Rand Study of CDHCs The largest-ever assessment of high-deductible health plans finds that while such plans significantly cut health spending, they also prompt patients to cut back on preventive health care, according to a 2011 RAND Corporation study. Studying more than 800,000 families from across the United States, researchers found that when people shifted into health insurance plans with high deductibles, their health spending dropped an average of 14 percent when compared to families in health plans with lower deductibles. Health care spending also was lower among families enrolled in high- deductible plans that had moderate health savings accounts sponsored by employers.
105
104 Experience Results Aetna reported in 2011 that employers who switched to account- based health plans as their only plan option had saved $21.8 million per 10,000 members over the past five years. Cigna published a 2012 study concluding that employers can save an average of $9,700 per employee over five years by switching to account-based health plans. According to Towers Watson and the NBGH, companies that successfully move their employees into account-based health plans can achieve significant savings on their health benefit costs. For example, companies with at least half of their workers enrolled in an account-based health plan report that their per- employee costs are over $1,000 lower than companies without an account-based health plan.

107
106 Private Health Information Exchanges (PHIE) Typically web-based portals providing consumer health and health care information. These Exchanges provide individuals and company health plans with medical and clinical education, treatment options, care costs, provider quality metrics, repositories for personal medical records, and much more. Others may provide medical information and online clinical care. Examples: WebMD, MDLiveCare
108
107 Private Health Insurance Marketplaces (PHIXs) What: Typically are web-based portals focusing on consumer guidance and information for the private purchase of health insurance. These Exchanges serve as marketing and lead generation sites for brokers/agents. Individual and group product descriptions, premium estimates, and purchases can be made online or by follow up with an agent. Private sites may also provide information and guidance for those eligible for government insurance options (Medicaid, CHIP, or Social Security Disability). 107
109
108 Types of PHIXs by Sponsor Business group PHIXs: developed from existing employer associations. Typically will ensure portability for ees, but only when the ee moves between participating ers and health plans. Insurer-sponsored PHIXs: developed for insured policyholder, making it easy to move current small es into an exchange and allow individual ees a wider choice of health plan design. The portability (the ability of a consumer to keep the same coverage as they move between jobs) is available to individuals moving companies covered by the same insurer. 108
110
109 Types of PHIXs (continued) by Sponsor Independent companies: developed with various sponsorships, existing relationships, and business models. These companies include existing information technology vendors, consultants/brokers, and entrepreneurs. These players seek to meet the needs of existing health industry customers, employer groups, and broker clients. They see the opportunity to expand on existing services and technology to create new businesses in a growing market. 109
111
110 Types of PHIXs by Carrier Offering Single-carrier Exchanges: These exchanges are promoted by a single payor. They target employers that wish to maintain some role in choosing both the insurance carrier and plan design Multi-carrier Exchanges: Promoted by brokers or benefits consultants to provide a broad range of payor and plan design options. Multi-carrier exchanges typically list individual products on a menu of offerings. 110
112
111 Types of PHIX by Business Model The Group Model: there may be as many as 20 different health plans for an employee to choose from but they’re all in a group platform and they are generally from just one carrier. Individual Model: Individual insurance policies. Especially good for smaller groups that have not been offering group insurance and can’t meet the minimum participation of funding requirements of the group model. 111
113
112 Projected Growth of Private Exchanges: Mercer Mercer: The % of US employers considering offering a private exchange for active and/or retired employees has tripled in the past year to 56%. Mercer said that 10 major insurance carriers—including Aetna, Cigna, Humana, UnitedHealthcare and a number of Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans—have signed on to the firm’s private exchange for 2014 enrollment. Mercer’s exchange will be available to employers with at least 100 employees 112
114
113 Projected Growth of Private Exchanges: Aon Aon Hewitt said all of the new clients have at least 5,000 employees and represent a range of industries. With the additional clients, Aon Hewitt said 330,000 employees will be receiving coverage through its exchange. In total, Aon Hewitt anticipates more than 600,000 U.S. employees and their families will be covered under plans in the Aon Hewitt Corporate Health Exchange in 2014. 113
115
114 Self-Insured Plans PPACA creates significant mandate differences and cost implications between fully insured and self-insured plans. Self-insured employer plans are explicitly exempted from some PPACA requirements. Self- Insured Plans are NOT: Required to provide minimum essential benefits (required to meet the cost-sharing limits, benefit levels, and “minimum essential coverage” but are not required to provide the “minimum essential benefits”). Required to participate in a risk-adjustment system, Subject to single risk pool standards, Subject to 3-1 age pricing compression and other rating mandates, Subject to medical loss ratio (MLR) mandates, Subject to review of premium increases, and Subject to the annual insurance fee that starts in 2014 for fully insured plans.
116
115 Self-Insured Plans The existing benefits of self-insured are retained. They are NOT: Subject to state premium taxes, Subject to state coverage mandates, and Subject to insurance reserve requirements. Under PPACA, employers will retain the choice of fully insured and self-insured arrangements. However, fully insured plans will mostly be offered through health exchanges because federal employee premium subsidies (up to 400% of the federal poverty level) will only be available through exchanges. The size of groups eligible for participation in an exchange may vary by state and can increase over time based on PPACA requirements.
