  19. BUDGET FOR FEES Employer Mandate Transitional Reinsurance Fee PCORI Fee January 1, 2015

  20. New premium rates • New premium rates need to be analyzed to determine budget impact • No gender-based rating • Standardized 3:1 ratio maximum age rating • Younger workforces could see higher premiums • Older workforces could see lower premiums

  21. Employer Mandate • §4980H – Applicable employers must provide minimum essential coverage • Large employers – 50 or more full-time equivalents • Nondeductible penalties for not offering minimum essential coverage • $2,000 penalty for each employee • Excluding first 30 • Nondeductible penalties for not offering “affordable” minimum essential coverage • $3,000 penalty for each employee

  22. Penalty Calculation • Example • An employer with 50 employees does not provide minimum essential coverage • At least one of these employees becomes certified to employer as having enrolled in a qualified health plan, i.e., gets health insurance from an exchange • Employer will be subject to $2,000 penalty per employee • Excluding first 30 employees • $2,000 X (50-30) = $40,000 nondeductible penalty • Employer offers minimum essential coverage, but it is not affordable • Ten employees become certified • Employer will be subject to $3,000 penalty per employee certified • $3,000 X 10 = $30,000 nondeductible penalty

  23. PAY OR PLAY

  24. Pay or Play - example • Example: $40,000 penalty • Employer-paid health care costs • Assuming 35% tax rate • $40,000/(1-.35) = $61,538 breakeven • If health care costs exceed breakeven, paying penalty could be advantageous
