18 months of self-insured experience Better service & vendor relationship Plan performance better than estimated 100% Wellness coverage Increase in wellness visits Increase in flu shots & wellness testing Should create early intervention & decreased costs to the plan Plan participants continue to be good consumers Generic Incentive Program In-network providers utilized Referral program for specialized care Addition of Voluntary Dental Benefit

5
Cost of single vs. family insurance Thoughts on Wellness as a way to control costs. Possible plan enhancements Voluntary Life buy-up 65+ Health Plan Your feedback on current plan and possible changes.
8
Prospect of raising cost of single coverage Larger impact on those at lower end of earnings scale May cause those with double coverage to drop the Augustana Plan. May be unaffordable to some Would allow us to divert premiums to assist in family coverage. Thoughts?
9
Prospect of lowering cost of family coverage May help with recruitment – particularly of faculty members. May allow others to join the plan. Would require higher cost for single coverage. Moves the group of unhappy people Thoughts?
10
Wellness Incentive Pricing Should there be different pricing for employees that participate in some level of wellness activity? Wellness screenings Weight loss or exercise/fitness participation Other things that would incent healthy choices? Thoughts?
11
Tiered Benefits Different pricing based on earnings One amount if you earn less than $X/year Higher amount if you earn more than $X/year Doesn’t take into account overall family earnings May adversely affect those near the “break point” Thoughts?
12
2 nd Alternative within our plan Lower cost coverage with lower benefits? Higher deductible ($5,000 per family) with lower price Smaller or limited pool of providers Health Savings Account model Thoughts?
13
Voluntary “buy-up” of life insurance Currently 1.5 times your annual salary Buy the amount you want without underwriting Take advantage of large group discount Additional health care choice for active employees age 65+ Would act as a Medicare supplement Employees could keep this coverage at their own expense when they leave.
