2003 UMP Benefit Changes • Medical • Developing three alternative approaches, all with the same overall employee impact • Pharmacy • Legislative budget targets 10% reduction in prescription costs
2003 UMP Benefit Changes • Approach #1 based on legislative budget notes • 85% coinsurance for most services from preferred providers (currently 90%) • Enrollee out-of-pocket limit is also increased proportionally (currently $1,125 per year) • Concerns • Higher coinsurance may discourage needed care
UMP Benefit Changes • Approach #2 - Leave coinsurance at 90% but make other changes to achieve same premium impact • Evaluate possible out-of-state networks • Increase annual out-of-pocket limit, hospital copayments, deductible, or other enrollee cost-sharing • Consider expanding services covered in full (i.e. maintain or increase access to preventive care) • Concerns • Impact on particular categoreis of enrollees, such as those with high medical costs
2003 UMP Benefit Changes • Approach #3 - Offer enrollees choice of two UMP benefit designs • Higher premium choice would maintain current UMP benefits • Lower premium choice would have higher deductible, coinsurance, and other enrollee cost-sharing • Current PEBB risk adjustment process would be used to mitigate “adverse selection” • Concerns • Communication challenges • Enrollee understanding of plan choices
