  2. Mission The Georgia Department of Community Health We will provide Georgians with access to affordable, quality health care through effective planning, purchasing and oversight. We are dedicated to A Healthy Georgia.

  3. Discussion Items • 2014 Options • Benefit Changes for the 2014 Plan Year • 2014 Wellness Incentives • Transition of Care • Affordable Care Act • Open Enrollment-Where are we? • Q&As

  4. New Plan Vendors • Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia is the TPA Plan Administrator beginning January 1, 2014, which includes Medical Management for all SHBP Plans • Express Scripts is our new Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) beginning January 1, 2014 • Healthways is our new Wellness vendor beginning January 1, 2014

  5. New Plan Vendors • Blue Cross and Blue Shield of GA, Express Scripts and Healthways will all be working closely together on an ongoing basis • Each covered family member will receive their own ID card which will be valid for all three of our vendors • United Healthcare and CIGNA will no longer be offered as their contracts end December 31, 2013

  6. 2014 Plan Options • Members will choose from three levels of benefit coverage: • Gold HRA • Silver HRA • Bronze HRA • The above plans are HRA plans. The HMO and HDHP plans have been eliminated • TRICARE Supplement will also be available

  7. 2014 Plan Design

  8. Employee Rates: Impact to SHBP Members Three new plan options that impact SHBP members; actuarially determined member rates: • If selecting the Bronze plan – reduced premiums • If selecting the Silver plan: • HMO members – reduced premiums • HDHP members – increased premiums in all but one tier • HRA members - reduced premiums in some tiers; higher premiums in other tiers • If selecting the Gold plan – increased premiums

  9. The Benefits of an HRA • Your HRA is funded by SHBP and any unused funds roll over for future health expenses • HRA dollars can assist you in paying health expenses that go towards your deductible • Initial HRA dollars vary depending on the option/tier chosen • Any remaining HRA dollars from previous years will rollover in March 2014

  10. HRA Incentives • 2014 Wellness incentives – increases up to a maximum of $480 for member; plus up to an additional $480 for covered spouse, combined maximum of $960 • Additionally, for those members/spouses who completed their wellness requirements in 2013, the $240 will be credited to their HRA on January 1, 2014

  12. Transition of Care • If a Member is currently receiving or anticipates the need to continue certain covered services and/or medical treatments beyond 2013, and the provider is not participating in the BCBSGa provider network he/she may request transition of care services. Transition of care services allows a member to continue to obtain certain ongoing services and/or treatments from his/her out-of-network provider for an approved period of time • The member will need to contact BCBSGa customer service no later than December 31, 2013, to obtain specific instructions for requesting transition of care services.

  13. Affordable Care Act • Anyone enrolled in SHBP coverage will meet the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) requirements to maintain health coverage with essential benefits • Any employer that offers the SHBP will be able to meet the Act’s requirement to offer minimum value health coverage. This protects SHBP members from ACA tax Penalties

  14. Open Enrollment-Where are We • As of 11/5/13 180,000 members have enrolled, including retirees. About another 100,000 still need to enroll • The deadline to enroll is 11/8/13 at 5pm at www.myshbpga.adp.com • Members should print a copy of their confirmation page which will contain a confirmation number • SHOEUPDT Report available around 11/15/13

Open Enrollment-Where are We • Active members who do not make an election at the ADP portal and are currently covered will default to the Bronze Plan • Retirees who do not make an election and are currently covered will default to the Bronze Plan (under 65) or keep the same Medicare Advantage Plan (over 65) • No coverage in 2013, no coverage in 2014 if there is no action taken at the ADP Portal
