1 HELTH CRE REFORM IMPCTS HELTH INSURNCE YOU HVE CHOICES On June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Patient Protection and ffordable Care ct constitutional and, therefore, all individuals are required to have health insurance by Businesses must now decide how to handle their health insurance. With our Employer Health Reform nalytics, we can help you make an informed decision.
2 The ct s of Jan. 1, 2014, the Patient Protection and ffordable Care ct will require all individuals in the United States to have some form of health insurance. Integral to this reform, is the creation of state, regional and federal health care Exchanges, where individuals can purchase a variety of affordable health insurance plans and, if they fall within certain income levels, receive government-subsidized premiums. This ct affects all businesses; however, large employers with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees will be required to: B C Provide affordable health insurance coverage for all full-time equivalent employees, Elect not to provide health insurance coverage, pay defined penalties, and send employees to a state, regional or federal Exchange to purchase insurance, or Develop a new hybrid plan. Employers who elect not to provide health insurance coverage will be assessed a penalty of $2,000 annually per full-time employee, minus the first 30 full-time employees if at least one employee receives an Exchange subsidy. dditionally, if an employer s coverage is deemed unaffordable (i.e., an employee s self-only premium exceeds 9.5% of their wages and receives an Exchange subsidy), the employer will be fined $3,000 for that employee. Because of the perceived cost-savings of not providing coverage, it can be tempting for organizations to simply opt for the penalty without taking the time to determine if, indeed, it is the best business move. It is critical to consider all aspects of the situation in order to make an informed decision that is in the best interest of your company and your employees. Ross Manson, Principal Health Care Reform Specialist
3 Your Choice Businesses now have more choices than ever. We have the knowledge to help you make an informed decision. Eide Bailly has developed a service to help companies become educated on the Patient Protection and ffordable Care ct and understand their options available under the ct. This service, Employer Health Reform nalytics, allows us to quickly and efficiently help you analyze your options and provide you with information to make an informed decision for your business and employees. Employer Health Reform nalytics utilizes a proprietary calculator that analyzes your current health insurance plan costs, and projects them forward to It also compares what the cost would be to pay the penalty and send your employees to an Exchange in 2014, and identifies how many employees would be eligible for an Exchange subsidy. This analysis empowers you with the information you need to make the best decision for your business regarding health insurance: to provide coverage for your employees; send them to an Exchange and pay the defined penalties; or develop a new hybrid plan. We can also assist you in analyzing the broader impact your decision may have on your business, taking into consideration factors such as: The impact discontinuing health care coverage may have on recruitment and retention The Jones s Factor what other companies do and how it affects your competitive advantage The potential cost savings and how that money can be used in other areas of your business The current and future cost of health care coverage vs. annual mandated penalties Whether you will need to increase employee salaries if you discontinue coverage The possibility of developing a hybrid plan that better fits the diverse needs of your employees Preliminary Findings Eide Bailly recently ran some preliminary calculations and found that the following types of businesses will see the greatest financial difference between the options: Small businesses that currently don t offer insurance Businesses with large numbers of part-time or seasonal workers Businesses with employees who receive, on average, lower wages In one case, for a non-profit, the numbers indicated a potential 40% savings to the organization by sending employees to an Exchange, while increasing salaries to cover employees costs for those who are not subsidy-eligible.
4 Be Prepared ct Now to Be Prepared The Patient Protection and ffordable Care ct will change how health insurance coverage is perceived and provided in the United States.

5 Common uestions Will we be assessed the penalty if our employees go to a health insurance Exchange, but do not receive a subsidy? No. If you are an employer with more than 50 full-time equivalent employees, you do not offer health insurance and none of your employees receive an Exchange subsidy, then you will not have to pay the penalty. However, if an employer-sponsored plan is not offered and one employee receives an Exchange subsidy, then you will pay a $2,000 penalty per full-time employee (minus the first 30 full-time employees). dditionally, if you offer affordable health insurance coverage and an employee decides to go to an Exchange, you would not have to pay the penalty. How will we know what type of coverage our employees have if we drop coverage? re they required to report to us? Employers who do not offer health insurance will not know what type of coverage or plan their employees will choose through an Exchange. Employees are not required to report the type of coverage or plan they choose to their employer. Can we offer an employer-sponsored health insurance plan and also give employees the option to go to an Exchange? Yes. n employer can continue to offer an employer-sponsored plan and allow employees to go to an Exchange to purchase health insurance. However, employees who go to an Exchange to enroll in a plan, while their employer s plan is deemed to be affordable, will not be eligible for an Exchange subsidy. Is health insurance coverage required just for U.S. citizens or all individuals, including green card holders? Health insurance coverage is required for U.S. citizens and lawfully residing non-citizen immigrants. Therefore, both U.S. citizens and lawfully residing non-citizen immigrants are subject to the individual mandate tax and are eligible to receive an Exchange subsidy.
