For more information, visit choosehap.org, or call us toll-free at (855) WITH-HAP. Health Care Is In for Big Changes It s called many names, but the official law, signed in 2010, is called the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA or just ACA). It was designed to improve access to health care for everyone. While some parts of the law are already in place, most of the major provisions of ACA become effective in These changes are aimed at making health coverage more accessible and affordable for many more people. They include the creation of Health Insurance Marketplace websites (also called exchanges), coverage of Essential Health Benefits (EHBs) and individual tax credits. There will be even more changes coming over the next several years. With ACA, no one can be denied coverage, or pay a higher rate, based on a pre-existing condition. If a person does not have coverage through an employer plan, Medicare or Medicaid, he or she will have to buy it on his or her own. Some ACA benefits are already available. Health plans already have broader coverage because of the ACA. Here are some of the new benefits available now: Young adults can remain on a parent s health plan until the age of 26, even if they live away from home, attend school or are married Preventive care and women s health care services with no s, coinsurance or s Children with pre-existing conditions can t be denied coverage No set lifetime dollar limits on coverage Plus, health plans can t cancel coverage if you get sick. The only reason coverage can be canceled now is if someone committed fraud when applying for health insurance. Through the Health Insurance Marketplace The Health Insurance Marketplace for small group business is the Small Business Health Options Program referred to as the SHOP or the SHOP Marketplace. This is where your customers can compare and select qualified health plans. Through HAP s Private Exchange Partnership with iselect HAP s partnership with iselect, a new, locally based private health care exchange, offers another option to purchase health care plans and ancillary products. It brings affordable, predictable pricing through defined contributions and overall savings to employers and employees alike. HAP offers 10 competitive and qualified health plans through iselect, including six PPO products and four HMO products. All 10 HAP plans offered on iselect meet the Accountable Care Act Essential Health Benefits (EHBs) requirements effective Summary of Benefits and Coverage All health plans must also use the same standard form to compare plans. The Summary of Benefits and Coverage (SBC) is a short, plain-language overview of what is covered, along with s, coinsurance and s. The SBC also includes coverage examples that show how much a member would typically pay in two common medical situations: Type 2 diabetes care and childbirth. In addition, health insurance companies are now expected to spend at least 80 percent of premiums on medical care and related quality improvements for members in individual and small group plans (85 percent for large group plans). If they re not met, members would receive the difference in the form of rebates or reduced premiums. Where can your customers buy health insurance? Your customers can buy a qualified health care plan through a variety of channels directly from HAP, through the Health Insurance Marketplace website, s private exchange iselect and through producers using any one of these options. 8 9

7 Essential Health Benefits The Essential Health Benefits are the minimum categories of health insurance coverage that every qualified health plan must have starting January 1, Employers save money by giving employees control over their health care with the freedom to choose their own benefits plan. The ACA defines 10 categories of Essential Health Benefits: Product Overview Ambulatory patient services Emergency services The 2014 qualified health plan designs below are for groups with two or more eligible employees, with the exception of the iselect suite of large group plans.

The idea behind metal level plans, or metal tiers, is to allow your customers to compare health plans with similar coverage value (the technical term is actuarial value). What this means is that health plans offered or the Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) will be grouped in different metal tiers based on the percentage of health care costs the health plan covers. Silver Bronze health plans usually will have the lowest premiums and highest out-of-pocket costs s, s and coinsurance while Platinum health plans usually have the highest premiums and the lowest member cost-sharing. Bronze Plan Name HAP 3000 PPO $3,000/$6,000 HAP health plans available 10 HAP health plans available through the Health Insurance Marketplace HAP plans available through iselect private exchange NOTE: The above comparisons are to be used for general reference only. Please refer to individual benefit summaries for benefit levels for each service. 11

8 Plan Type: Fully Insured HMO How It Works In a health maintenance organization (HMO), members must choose a personal care physician (PCP) who coordinates all of their health care needs. When members need to see a specialist, it s easy with paperless referrals. Most of our networks offer the option to see specialists from any network. In addition, members are covered for emergency and urgent care, no matter where they go. Plans range from traditional coverage to plans with annual out-of-pocket maximums and a wide range of s and coinsurance options with lower premiums. Service Area The service area, where HAP is licensed to sell the HMO product, consists of the following nine counties: Genesee, Lapeer, Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, Wayne and Washtenaw. Network HAP HMO members can access the HMO network within the nine-county service area

9 Health Engagement Program Our Health Engagement program is a two-tier HMO plan design. HAP s Health Engagement program is designed for employers who have committed to providing a healthier workplace and will support their employees (and covered spouses) in reaching their health goals. To meet your organization s unique needs, HAP offers two tiers with our Health Engagement program, Aspire and Achieve. Members in either plan must visit their PCP to get a deeper understanding and assessment of their health risks, enabling them to set healthy goals. HMO Standard Plan Designs The plan designs below are for groups with two or more eligible employees. Groups of 51 or more eligible employees can also customize a plan.

10 Plan Type: Fully Insured PPO/EPO How It Works The preferred provider organization (PPO) lets members seek care from providers either within or outside of the network, without referrals. The plan offers a wide range of benefit designs that includes incentives to seek care from preferred providers. The exclusive provider organization (EPO) offers the freedom of our PPO, without the out-of-network benefits. Members can see any doctor within the EPO network, without a referral and without choosing a personal care physician. The network for both the PPO and EPO is the same. Service Area The PPO and EPO products* are licensed to be sold in a 23-county service area that includes: Arenac Huron Midland Sanilac Bay Iosco Monroe St. Clair Clare Isabella Oakland Tuscola Genesee Lapeer Ogemaw Washtenaw Gladwin Livingston Roscommon Wayne Gratiot Macomb Saginaw *PPO/EPO products are offered by Alliance Health and Life Insurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Health Alliance Plan.

13 Plan Type: Consumer-driven Health Plans (CDHPs) HSA and HRA How It Works Consumer-driven Health Plans (CDHPs) consist of a tax-advantaged funding structure paired with a health plan. These plans encourage members to use their health care benefits judiciously, while giving them the freedom to decide where their allocated dollars go. Premiums are generally lower, and cost-sharing with employees helps make coverage affordable for everyone. HAP s CDHPs can be offered using our HMO, PPO or EPO products and can be paired with either a Health Savings Account (HSA) or health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) qualified plan. Health Savings Account A health savings account (HSA) is an individually owned bank account that can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses such as s, coinsurance, s, vision and dental services, and much more. An HSA is a good choice for employers who are looking for ways to reduce health care premiums, while still providing a tax-free way for their employees to save money on their out-of-pocket health care expenses. HAP offers a variety of federally qualified high- HMO, PPO and EPO plans to pair with an HSA, giving employees the opportunity to save for future health care expenditures. Our HSA plans offer: Lower premiums with HSA-qualified plans Valuable federal and state tax savings on employee contributions Significant tax savings on employer contributions Simple online funding No minimum deposit Dedicated employer/producer customer support

14 Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) HAP s health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) helps employers control costs by putting employees in charge of their health care spending. Once a HAP or Alliance Health and Life Insurance Company (Alliance) plan design is selected, HAP and our HRA partner can establish a reimbursement account of any dollar amount to help share the cost of health care between employers and employees. This provides a financial incentive to employees to adopt healthy lifestyles and make informed health care choices. Advantages of an HRA include: Employer can deposit pretax dollars in an HRA Choice and flexibility to determine reimbursement approach Lower premiums with high- HRA plans Timely HRA reimbursement and electronic eligibility verification Three HRA options offer greater flexibility in plan design: 1. An employee submits all receipts to our HRA partner for reimbursement, which goes directly to the employee. 2. HAP automatically directs HRA-eligible claims for reimbursement, which goes directly to the employee. 3. HAP automatically directs HRA-eligible claims to our HRA partner for reimbursement, which goes directly to the provider. 24

If Coverage is terminated prior to completing 12 months, you may not re-enroll for at least 12 months from the date of termination. Self-funding HAP can help groups with self-funding plan administration by offering guidance with risk management, claims management and compliance. We work with groups to design a plan that meets their needs and we regularly review the plan and provide guidance. Every claims payment is made known to the employer group and is available online 24/7. We provide detailed reports daily, monthly or annually. Because HAP manages the plan and administers all claims, the data we collect can be used to provide comprehensive benefit and utilization reports. Shared-funding Shared-funding is a type of self-funding designed to allow groups with as few as 51 employees to consider this unique approach. With shared-funding, a monthly funding level is established that can be budgeted much like a premium. This approach makes it possible for smaller groups to take advantage of the economics of self-funding, just as many larger groups have done for years. For example, set premium taxes are not assessed on claim payments, and if claims do not reach the funding limit, the group retains those funds rather than HAP. Often, the fixed costs of a separate self-funded plan are lower than the fixed costs included in a group health insurance premium. Network Clients can access HAP s statewide network, which offers access to providers throughout the state of Michigan. Arrangements with national and regional networks provide access to care for employees outside of Michigan. Together, we will identify the best national partner for your client. Benefits will cease on the last day of the month in which you have paid premium. If you have any questions about this Policy, please call Delta Dental s Customer Service department, toll-free, at (800) You may also write to Delta Dental s Customer Service department at P.O. Box 1596, Indianapolis, Indiana This document is intended as a supplement to your Dental Care Certificate and Summary of Dental Plan Benefits. Please refer to your certificate and summary for costs and complete details of coverage, including policy exclusions and limitations, or call us toll-free at (800) This Policy is underwritten by Delta Dental Plan of Michigan, Inc., a nonprofit dental care corporation

19 Why Choose HAP for Self-funding? Complete customer service. HAP gives every self-funded client a dedicated account team, including an account executive, an account coordinator, a claims supervisor, a claims analyst and a plan administration representative. Statewide and national networks. Employers and organized labor markets can access HAP s statewide network, which offers providers throughout the state of Michigan. Arrangements with national and regional networks provide access to care for employees outside of Michigan. Together, we will identify the best national partner for you and your employees. Your customers determine their benefits. We work with you to design a plan that meets your customers needs. We build the benefit plan on our system and provide the summary plan descriptions for your customers employees. We also regularly review their plans and provide guidance. We work with you, but your customers have control. Your customers will know where every dollar is spent. We re committed to full transparency. Every claims payment is made known to your customer and is available online 24/7. We provide detailed reports daily, monthly or annually. We even allow audits. We manage risk. Because HAP manages the plan and administers all claims, the data we collect can be used to provide comprehensive benefit and utilization reports. These reports provide a road map to help continually improve the benefit plan and control future costs. That is truly what managing health benefits is all about. A New Approach to Managing Health Care Costs Fixed Group Health Care Expenses for Three Years HAP is the exclusive Michigan health plan partner for Trendline Health. Trendline Health is an organization that offers risk management and funding options via its proprietary Trendline Health Model. This program has been used successfully for more than 16 years to help groups better budget and set overall limits on their health care costs. Groups that qualify* for this program will realize the following benefits: Predictable Health Care Expenses Level health insurance costs at a fixed rate for the next three years. Insulate and protect customers from unpredictable trend increases in health care costs and excessive risks from claim expense anomalies or variations. An Improved Balance Sheet Let expenses that normally vary widely from year to year play a more productive role on customers balance sheet. Protect clients credit and bond ratings. Groups will enhance their financial position by prepaying against their existing and future liabilities. Employers will be able to move their current health care liabilities to contingent liabilities, effectively removing these significant obligations from their balance sheet. Build Cash Reserves Groups can build plan capital by setting aside health care funds in a tax-free reserve that will accrue interest. These investment gains will be used to buy down your customers future health care costs. *Groups must be reviewed and approved by HAP s Risk Assessment, Revenue Management & Client Reporting (R3) department in advance. Groups must provide complete claims and enrollment data; must exhibit consistency in enrollment, employer commitment, employee participation and minimum size requirements; and have a sound employer contribution structure

20 How It Works The Trendline Model is a proprietary mathematical and statistical system that captures and analyzes detailed claim, retention and demographic data to determine future health plan benefit costs in conjunction with HAP. This program quantifies the upper limit of health care liability exposure and integrates it into a powerful financial risk management tool. There are two models: one for self-funded plans and one for fully insured plans. Self-funded groups: A trust is formed, and then Trendline goes to the capital markets to fund the net present value of the group s expected health care exposure (over three years using a short-term note offering or loan transaction). The new trust is fully funded up front and holds this debt as opposed to the employer group or labor organization. This future health care liability is now a contingent liability on the customers balance sheet. The group s employees are designated as the beneficiaries of this trust. Fully insured groups: HAP will form the trust and will hold the funds. Interest accrued will be applied to offset the group s health care costs for the three-year term. Payment transactions: The trust holds the cash proceeds from the loan or short-term note, employee contributions, and investment income. Any residual investment income is used to service the principal and interest on the loan. This fund is used to pay the health plan for variable claims, fixed costs, and the principal and interest on the loan. The group simply pays the trust a fixed, predetermined monthly remittance over a three-year term. For fully insured groups, HAP will hold the trust proceeds, and the group will remit payments to HAP. This model develops significant cash-flow savings, whether the group is self-funded or fully insured. Payment flexibility: The program can be tailored over the three-year period to meet the needs of the group s employees based on its current situation. During the quoting process, HAP can make adjustments for this anticipated up-front revenue and credit the customer s lower administrative costs (no plan marketing, renewals or negotiations) and accrued interest
