Our goals today.
  • To introduce you to our insurance partner
  • To provide an overview of the program
  • To encourage our members to sign up for in-depth
    one-on-one information sessions to be held next
    week
  • To inspire members to indicate their desire to

    can be up and running by January 1, 2007

We Are Extremely Pleased To Announce
  • The selection of Destiny Health as our insurance
    partner
  • Destiny Health is the U.S. subsidiary of
    Discovery Health.a South African firm that is
    the world's largest marketer of consumer-driven
    health plans

5
As You Will Hear Today, Destinys Program
Addresses ALL of our key Mission elements
  • Stabilize Health Insurance Rates
  • Through Cooperative Purchasing
  • Through Personal Accountability
  • Through Healthier Lifestyles

6
Why We Value Our Members Agents So Much
  • Your Critical Importance
  • Wellness Drives Cost Stabilization

7
Insurance 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?

8
Overview 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

9
Overview of Plan
  • Broad provider network encompassing virtually all
    area health systems
  • To participate in the plan, 75 of each
    employers eligible employees must enroll

10
Overview 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

11
Overview 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.

12
Overview 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

13
Annual Renewals
  • Renewals Driven By Two Key Things
  • Destiny Vitality status
  • Individual Employer Health Changes

14
Annual 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!

15
Total 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

16
Rate 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

17
Rate 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

18
Rate 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..

19
Total 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

20
Just 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

21
This 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.

22
Additional 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).

23
Speaking of Wellness.

Destinys program is comprehensive and
fully-integrated as you will see But the Co-op

26
HLC Wellness Program
  • Fees No Surprises
  • The premiums you will see today include the 5
    pepm co-op fee plus 12.50 (employee only) to
    25.00 pepm (with spouse) additional estimated
    fees for the co-op wellness programs. Fees will
    be finalized later this fall when we complete
    vendor selection.
  • They will very likely be lower than this!

27
