15
Expansion of Small Group Market Under ACA Effective January 1, 2016 Definition of “small employer” will change -Employers with 100 of few FTE employees -Previously 50 or fewer
16
Expansion of Small Group Market Under ACA According to American Academy of Actuaries: Number of employees covered under small group market may increase by 30% Groups sized 51-100 will have more restrictive rating rules Groups sized 51-100 will have more benefit and cost-sharing requirements Could result in more self-insurance
17
Keep Current Definition of Small Group Legislation introduced in Congress to keep current definition of small group With King v Burwell behind us, legislation may move forward Legislation supported by many groups If law is enacted, timing will be important
18
Large Group Transitional Policy Michigan has adapted the Large Group Transitional Policy Allows small employers (51-100) Renewing prior to 10/1/2016 To delay adapting the small group definition Transitional policies may not remain in effect beyond 10/1/2017
