4 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 3 October 17, 2015 Health benefit cost grew 2.1% in 2013 – a 16-year low Employers warned of a rebound in 2014 Most employers say health reform will increase their spending in 2014 Many take action to counter ACA cost challenges CDHP enrollment continues to grow, matching enrollment in HMOs Employers use CDHPs to meet cost, choice and compliance goals Health management programs stress innovation and engagement Most employers that measure ROI see lower trends Widespread interest in private exchanges as a way to add choice While controlling cost and simplifying administration Employers remain committed to sponsoring health benefits Sustainable health programs will require workforce planning, proven strategies HIGHLIGHTS…………

5 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. *Projected Source: Mercer’s National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans; Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index, U.S. City Average of Annual Inflation (April to April) 1990-2013; Bureau of Labor Statistics, Seasonally Adjusted Data from the Current Employment Statistics Survey (April to April) 1990-2013. Cost growth slowed again in 2013, higher increases expected 2014 Average total health benefit cost per employee rose just 2.1% in 2013 Cost 2014 rebound? 4

6 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 5 Cost rose faster among larger employers, but mid-sized employers experienced the highest cost per employee Employers with 5,000 or more employees All employers + 2.1% + 0.8% + 1.5% + 3.7% Employers with 10-499 employees Employers with 500-4,999 employees Cost

7 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 6 Underlying cost trend still high at 8%, but employers plan to hold the average increase in per-employee cost to about 5% Estimated cost increase to renew plans with no changes vs. actual increase after plan changes * Projected Cost

8 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 7 Cost shifting has been considerable Average PPO deductible for individual, in-network coverage Cost

9 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 8 Median cost sharing* amounts for: Example 60% planPPOHMO HSA-eligible CDHP Deductible$2,000$500 $1,500 Hospital coinsurance/copay50%20%$250-- Out-of-pocket maximum$6,000$2,250--$3,000 8 The typical employer plan still meets the ACA’s plan value requirement of 60% of covered expenses – with room for further cost shifting Large employers * Cost sharing for individual, in-network coverage Cost Do you know your plan’s actuarial relative value?

10 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 9 Don’t know Increase of less than 3% Increase of more than 10% No increase in health spending Expected impact due to higher enrollment and fees in 2014 Wholesale/ Retail Services Manufacturing Government Transportation/ Communic./Utility Health care Finance Expect increase of 3% or more due to higher enrollment and fees, by industry Most large employers say reform will boost health spending in 2014 – beyond normal cost increases – due to higher enrollment and fees Increase of 5-10% Increase of 3-4% Cost Last year’s

11 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 10 Employers’ success in bringing cost growth under control will be challenged by health reform Employer actions holding cost down ACA impacts pushing costs up Individual mandate Expanded eligibility Mandated coverages Conservative pricing by carriers Resetting benefit value consumer-directed health plans greater employee cost- sharing New focus on employee choice More sophisticated health management programs Market innovations creating more efficient health care delivery

12 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. Managing growth in enrollment by changing contribution strategies Large employers Raise employee contribution percentage for dependent coverage Raise employee contribution percentage for employee-only coverage Other change 11 ACA

13 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. Employers taking bolder action to steer spouses to other coverage Special provisions concerning spouses with other coverage available Large employersVery large employers Spouses with other coverage are not eligible Spouses with other coverage must pay surcharge ACA I f y o u a d o p t t h i s a p p r o a c h, b e c e r t a i n n o t t o i n a d v e r t e n t l y d i s c r i m i n a t e !

14 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 13 But the shared responsibility requirements are just the beginning Majority of large employers in danger of getting hit with excise tax by 2022 …but almost a third said avoiding the tax influenced health plan decisions for 2014 Percent of employers that would be subject to the excise tax if they made no changes to their current plan… Avoiding the excise tax influenced health plan decisions for 2014 Excise tax did not influence 2014 decisions Source: 2011 National Survey of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans ACA

15 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. Taking steps now to avoid the excise tax in 2018 Large employers For nearly a third of employers – 31% – concerns over the 2018 excise tax influenced decisions for 2104 Introduced a CDHP or took steps to increase enrollment in an existing CDHP 19% Added or expanded health management programs12% Dropped a higher-cost health plan11% Unbundled dental and medical plans4% Other change(s)12% ACA 14

16 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 15 Consumer-Directed Health Plans have become mainstream! CDHPs seen as central to meeting the challenges of health reform Provide a low-cost plan to newly eligible employees Encourage employees to use the health care system wisely Avoid the excise tax

17 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. Use of consumer-directed health plans is likely to accelerate over the next three years Large employers By 2016, 64% of large employers expect to offer a CDHP CDHP 16

18 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 17 CDHPs typically pass the 60% “test” and cost about 17%-20% less than PPO and HMO coverage Medical plan cost per employee per year HSA-eligible CDHP (Includes employer contributions to HSA accounts) PPOHMO CDHP

19 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 18 Employers working to build enrollment in CDHPs Large employers HSA-based CDHP enrollment rises over time % choosing CDHP when offered w/other medical plans Employer HSA funding drives enrollment... % choosing HSA when offered with other medical plans Expect to offer a CDHP as full replacement 3 years from now... but extensive communication is also important % choosing HSA when offered with other medical plans Employer HSA contribution of $800+ Employer does not have contribution to HSA CDHP

20 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 19 Reducing cost by adding choice – a win-win approach Under health reform all individuals must have health insurance, so employers face rising enrollment and more diverse needs Choice promotes efficiency by allowing employees to buy only what they need Private exchanges add choice without adding administrative burden Eases transition to sustainable program

28 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 27 More employers using voluntary benefits to maintain employee benefit options as core benefit plans change Large employers Give employees opportunity to fill gaps in employer-paid benefits Help employees take advantage of group purchasing power Accommodate employee requests Offer additional benefits at no cost to the employer To maintain employee benefit options as core benefit plans change Why employers offer a voluntary benefits program Profile of a successful voluntary program Employee-valued products User-friendly platform Multi-faceted enrollment solutions Robust education and communication program Program coordination Choice

31 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 30 Taking health management to a new level Employers are banking on health management to control long-term costs. In 2013, employers took steps to: Promote engagement as well as participation Create a supportive work environment Measure results

32 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 31 Fewer employers are willing to offer only their health plan’s standard services Large employers More employers are contracting with specialty vendors and purchasing optional services from their health plans Through health plan – standard services only Through health plan – some optional services Contract with one or more specialty vendors Health

36 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 35 Continued growth in use of outcomes-based incentives More large employers linking incentives to what employees do about their health Offer lower premium contributions to non-tobacco users Provide incentives for achieving or maintaining targets for BP, BMI, cholesterol Health

37 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 36 Measuring health management ROI can be challenging, but results are encouraging Very large employers 38% have formally measured ROI … Yes No Substantial positive impact on medical cost trend Small positive impact on medical trend No improvement in medical trend was found so far …with 79% reporting a positive impact on medical plan trend Health

38 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 37 The largest employers lead the way with innovations that reward high-quality, efficient providers Value-based design Surgical centers of excellence Collective purchasing of medical benefits High-performance networks Telemedicine Reference-based pricing Medical homes Health

39 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 38 Health reform has employers re-thinking workforce strategies Building a sustainable health program in the post-reform world means looking at workforce issues as well as benefit plan design Should we use more part- timers to limit the number of eligible employees? Does a segmentation strategy make sense? Stay in the game – or exit?

40 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. Requirement to extend coverage to all employees working 30 or more hours per week will hit some industries harder than others Percent of large employers that currently do not offer coverage in a qualified plan to all employees working an average of 30 or more hours per week Retail / wholesale ManufacturingTransportation / Communication / Utility GovernmentServicesHealth careFinancial services Takes effect 1-1-15! 39

41 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. Likely response to ACA’s requirement that all employees working 30 or more hours per week be eligible for coverage Based on large employers that do not currently offer coverage to all employees working 30 or more hours per week 40 Make all employees eligible for the full-time employee plans(s) Add a new lower-cost option for all employees Use segmentation strategy: Offer a lower-cost plan to newly eligible employees Pay shared responsibility penalty as necessary and…..

42 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. 41 About one in ten large employers will reduce some workers’ hours to limit the number of newly eligible employees Will have fewer employees working 30 hours or more per week Will make some other change in workforce strategy Will make no adjustments Already in compliance (no change needed)

43 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. Large employers remain committed to offering health coverage Percent of employers that say they are “very likely” or “likely” to terminate plans within the next five years Employers with fewer than 50 employees Employers with 50-199 employees Employers with 500 or more employees 42

148 Definitions

149 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. MERCER NATIONAL SURVEY OF EMPLOYER-SPONSORED HEALTH PLANS Definitions A consumer-directed health plan eligible for a Health Savings Account is a high-deductible health plan with an employee-controlled account. Employer contributions are optional. Account funds roll over at year end and are portable. A consumer-directed health plan with a Health Reimbursement Account is a health plan with an employer-funded spending account. Account funds may roll over at year end, but are not portable. Total health benefit cost is the total gross cost for all medical, dental, prescription drug, MH / SA, vision and hearing benefits for all covered active employees and their dependents divided by the number of enrolled employees. Total gross annual cost includes employer contributions to a Health Savings Account. Employee contributions are also included but not employee out-of- pocket expenses. Medical plan cost is the total gross cost for medical plans divided by the number of enrolled employees. Prescription drug, mental health, vision and hearing benefits for all active employees and their covered dependents are included if part of the plan. Dental benefits, even if a part of the plan, are not included in these costs. CDHP cost includes any employer account contribution. Nationally projectable PPO/POS and HMO medical plan costs for 2013 have been restated to include all prescription drug benefit costs (formerly, cost for carve-out prescription drug plans was not included in the medical plan cost, but will be going forward).

150 © 2014 Mercer (US) Inc. MERCER NATIONAL SURVEY OF EMPLOYER-SPONSORED HEALTH PLANS Definitions, continued A mini-med or limited plan is a health insurance plan that provides far lower benefits than the typical comprehensive major medical plan. The annual maximum amount payable typically ranges from $1,000 to $50,000. Unless otherwise noted, employers with multiple plans of the same type were asked to respond for the largest plan of each type (i.e., the one with the largest enrollment). Family coverage is the coverage level for an employee, spouse and two children. A private exchange is a marketplace for insurance run by a private company or non-profit corporation that offers a choice of health plans and possibly voluntary products and services. Employers often provide a set contribution for each employee to spend on insurance. The exchange also typically provides an enrollment and administration platform with decision-support tools for employees to help them select appropriate coverage.
