State Employee Health Plan

1. State Employee Health Plan Open Enrollment 2010

2. State of the Plan Reserves of the Plan have diminished Claim costs paid by the Plan continue to outpace premium revenue Governor and Legislature gave state agencies a 7 pay period holiday from paying employer contribution Health Care Commission voted to: Increase employee and employer rates Make some benefit adjustments to Plan A Over the last few years, the State Employee Health Plan has been using reserve account funds to supplement the premium revenue of the plan. In other words, we have been spending more than we are take in. Some of this spending was planned to reduce the reserve fund. The spending is now outpacing the fund projection. We are now at point where we need to balance our spending with our revenue income. In her 2010 budget proposal, Governor Sebelius proposed a 7 pay period premium holiday for state agencies. The legislature adopted this proposal but made it effective for the 2009 year. The reserve funds are now at the point that our actuaries recommend that funding be increased to maintain adequate reserves. The Kansas State Employees Health Care Commission reviewed a number of premium funding proposals for Plan Year 2010. The HCC voted to increase member premiums beginning 1/1/10. The actual increase depends on the plan and salary tier. Agency contributions increased 4.5% on 7/1/09 and will increase by 12.5% on 7/1/2010.

7. PPO Providers Claims paid based on the network status Network providers accept the plan allowance Non Network Providers can balance bill Non Network Providers may work at Network Facilities - examples: Pathologists Emergency Room Providers Anesthesiologists Radiologists Laboratory Technicians On a PPO plan, claims are paid based on the network status of the provider. In exchange for directing patients to their care, Network providers agree to discounts and accept the health plans allowed charges as payment in full. Non Network providers do not agree to accept the plan allowance and may balance bill the member for any amount above what the plan allows. You may encounter a Non Network provider even when you go a Network facility. Some common examples are listed above. You may also hear these referred to as PEARL providers. In a medical emergency, if you use a network provider and encounter a PEARL, the all of the plans except BCBS will pay the provider as if they were a Network Provider. This reduces your responsibility for deductibles and coinsurance on these providers. You will still be responsible for any amounts above what the plan allows.

8. To illustrate the saving to you by using a Network provider, lets look at a sample claim for $1,500 that occurs on 1/2/2010. For the Network provider the plan allows $1,400 which is subject to the plan $150 Deductible and 20 percent Coinsurance. In this example the plan pays $1,000, you pay $400 and the provider writes off $100. For the Non Network provider, the plan allows the same $1,400 . The Non Network Deductible of $500 is applied and 50 percent Coinsurance. The plan pays $450 and You are responsible for the $500 Deductible + $450 Coinsurance + the $100 over the allow charge = $1,050. Using a Non Network provider has a big impact on your pocket book.
