Addresses ALL of our key Mission elements
- Stabilize Health Insurance Rates
-
- Through Cooperative Purchasing
- Through Personal Accountability
- Through Healthier Lifestyles
6Why We Value Our Members Agents So Much
- Your Critical Importance
- Wellness Drives Cost Stabilization
7Insurance Partner Selection Process
- Team of Board members, industry experts,
consulting actuary - Four very strong proposals .... Based initially
on the concept then refined to reflect our
specific membership - Health and demographic data from applications
shared confidentially . No employer or employee
names - Key Decision Criteria . How is what was proposed
different (and better) than what our members
could purchase on their own in the open
marketplace? How well did it match our Mission?
8Overview of Plan
- Three year contract
- Employers will have choice of three plan
designs. All high deductible and HSA/HRA
qualifiedcan switch to a different design
annually if so choose - All plans include 400 of first dollar coverage
on preventive procedures
9Overview of Plan
- Broad provider network encompassing virtually all
area health systems - To participate in the plan, 75 of each
employers eligible employees must enroll
10Overview of Plan
- Our 230 member companies were each evaluated
based on current health status of employees - The process allowed the co-op to offer a product
that is attractive and competitive to all
employers From those with an excellent recent
health history and low current premiums to those
with higher premiums
11Overview of Plan
- The process also allowed Destiny to guarantee
these rates REGARDLESS of how many member
companies enroll - The only thing that could change your initial
premiums will be new hires or terminated
employees or employees who didnt fill out the
application in June. Destiny will ask you to
update your roster. They are prepared to QUICKLY
inform you if there is any change.
12Overview of Plan
- Companies with 11 or more eligible employees
composite rated same premium for each
employee regardless of age/gender - Companies with 10 or fewer eligible employees
age/gender rated different premium for each
depending on age/gender
13Annual Renewals
- Renewals Driven By Two Key Things
- Destiny Vitality status
- Individual Employer Health Changes
14Annual Renewals
- Vitality program assigns a status to each
employee based on their participation in a
variety of health improvement activities as
well as the health results they achieve - Four levels. Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum
- Weve looked at this . Everyone starts at
Bronze. Silver is VERY achievable!
15Total Co-op Renewal Increase Caps
- If 40 or more of total co-op employees achieve
Silver or greater status within a year, total
premium dollars paid by the co-op are capped
for the following year - 40-69 9.75 rate cap
- 70-99 6.75 rate cap
- 100 2.75 rate cap
16Rate Increase Caps
- The Total Premium paid by the co-op will NOT
exceed these levels regardless of changes in
health status - But individual employers MAY see differences in
their own premiums (up or down) from these caps
17Rate Increase Caps
- Individual employers will be evaluated each year
for changes in health status - An employers premium may move up or down based
on these changes
18Rate Increase Caps
- Any such shifts will be on top of the total co-op
renewal - However, these shifts are also capped
- Employers with 51 or more employees have a
maximum increase of 20 (on top of the co-op
increase) - Employers with 50 or fewer employees have a
maximum increase of 15 (on top of the co-op
increase) - ALSO..
19Total Pool Caps
- Remember that the total co-op premium remains
capped by the Vitality achievement rule (the
Power of the Pool!!) - Thus, every dollar of increase beyond the total
pool cap received by one employer must be offset
by a dollar decrease at another employer so that
the total premium dollar caps are still achieved
20Just in Case..
- But what happens if at least 40 of our total
co-op employees do NOT achieve Silver or greater
Vitality status??? - No total co-op cap . Normal medical cost trend
increases will apply. - However individual employers can then receive up
to a 7 discount off their renewal based on their
OWN employees Vitality improvements
21This is a lot of information!!!
- True. So lets simply summarize
- Dramatic changes to health within an employer can
affect their rates but large employers have no
caps at all today. Now we have a maximum of the
pool cap plus 20 (15 for smaller employers) - And for every up there must be a down an
individual employer could actually see rate
DECREASES year over year - It all depends on our focus on wellness and
healthy lifestyles we can get as little as a
2.75 rate cap if we ALL do this! And costs will
decline even further long-term as we get smarter
and healthier.
22Additional Employee Benefits
- So the co-op membership receives a significant
benefit from Vitality - And individual employers receive a significant
benefit from Vitality - Of course individual employees benefit from both
the cost and health improvements. But they also
benefit even more directly through a series of
very valuable financial and consumer rewards
offered by Destiny (stay tuned).
23Speaking of Wellness.

25.00 pepm (with spouse) additional estimated
