  5. Default Benchmark Plan = small group health plan with the largest enrollment will be selected by default. • The benchmark plan will define the standard set of benefits that must be covered by plans in that state. • Insurers in every state will be required to offer plans with benefits “substantially equal” to those found in a state’s benchmark plan. • EHB benchmark defines only what benefits must be covered, not what the cost-sharing levels will be. • Carriers will develop the cost-sharing features for the products they offer based on the actuarial values for the different metal level plans (bronze, silver, gold, and platinum) spelled out in the ACA.

  7. Employer cost share of 70% (actuarial value = AV) = Silver Plan • Employee cost share 30% • Employee cost share cannot exceed 9.5% of W-2 wages. Assume lowest wage of FT employee is $20,000.00 • Employee premium cost share cannot exceed $1,900 for the year or $158.33 per month • The maximum monthly premium cost = $158.33 / .30 = $527.76 without underwriting (0 – 40% load) • $527.76 assumes that the employee is healthy. Assume a 20% increase in premium cost due to underwriting, because of imperfect health, = .80% of $527.76. $422.00 would be the maximum premium. • What will $422.00 buy? What should it buy?
