  13. Insurance Uncertainties • Coverage Mandates • Elimination of Underwriting • Exchanges / Co-ops • Risk Pools • States Limiting Premium Rate Increases 13

  14. Provider Uncertainties • Medicare Funding • Medicaid Funding • Payer Response based on Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) Requirements • Transparency / Consumer Role • New Payment Models 14

  15. Healthcare Reform Certainties • Transparency of Data • Improved Quality, Cost and Value • Efficiencies • Electronic Medical Records • Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) 15

  16. Definition of Accountable Care 16

  17. Accountable Care Organization (ACO) • A model for delivering services which offers doctors and hospitals financial incentives to provide good, quality care to patients while keeping down costs. • Includes medical home • Medicare demonstration projects scheduled to launch in January 2012 • Could save Medicare up to $960 million in the first three years 17

  18. Examples of Current Healthcare Reform Impact on Insurance Companies 18

  19. Early Phases – 2010 / 2011 Provisions • Coverage of Children with Pre-Existing Conditions • Coverage of Dependents up to Age 26 (Federal) / 28 (Ohio) • Elimination of Lifetime Limits of Coverage • Regulation of Annual Limits of Coverage • Prohibited Rescinding of Coverage • Certain Preventive Services Covered at 100% • Mandated Preventative Services for Women 19

  20. Implementation of MLR (Medical Loss Ratio) • Health plans are required to report the amount of premium dollars spent on medical care relative to total premiums collected • Healthcare Reform Requirement for MLR: • 85% for large group insured and Medicare Advantage products • 80% for individual and small group insured products • Implications • More difficult for plans to make profit margins • Greater pressure to reduce costs 20

  21. Greater Transparency CMS Star Ratings • Plans are rated on Medication Safety, Patient Satisfaction, Preventive Care Measures and Chronic Care Management • Potential Financial Impact / Transparency • Medicare plans will be paid more or less based on star rating • Today only three health plans are rated “5-star” and 74 health plans are rated “4-star” 21

  22. Exchanges (Effective Jan. 1, 2014) • A state-based insurance marketplace • Standard benefit tiers: Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze and Catastrophic • Decision on State vs. Federal Model • Federal grant of $1 million awarded to Ohio in September 2010 • Milliman Contract • KPMG Contract 22

  23. Exchanges Continued (Effective Jan. 1, 2014) • States have broad latitude in design of new health insurance exchange for 2014 • Guaranteed issue, no medical underwriting • Exchange to serve individuals and small groups • Sliding scale subsidies based on income • 16 million people expected to buy coverage • Uncertainty about employers continuing coverage • Think “Expedia.com” 23
