4 The Basics of Health Exchanges Health Insurance Exchange A marketplace where small businesses can shop for health insurance plans that best meet their budget and needs. An exchange can pool the buying power of small businesses and incentivize competition of insurers WIPP All Rights Reserved WIPP
5 Existing Exchanges: Lessons Learned We studied and interviewed representatives from exchanges to understand the successes, failures and lessons learned Utah Exchange Employers Massachusetts Connector ,200 Employers HealthPass, NY ,000 Employers CBIA, CT ,000 Employers PacAdvantage, CA ,000 Employers COSE, OH ,000 Employers Federal Employees (FEHBP) Million People
6 Small Business Health Coverage Choices Purchase health coverage through the exchange Purchase health coverage in the outside market Maintain a grandfathered health plan Do not offer health coverage Will the exchange offer value lower price; better coverage; better services?
7 An Exchange that Small Business Trusts with Value and Choice An independent exchange will create the greatest trust and support Active purchaser model can provide value for employers and employees Employee choice model is needed to differentiate from outside market and drive consumer choice and value
8 How Will Small Business Learn About the Exchange? Only half of employers belong to a business group Trusted Advisors their brokers, accountants, peers Communication business press, business groups, trade groups Navigators need to be trusted messengers
9 Meeting the Needs of Small Employers 5.9 million employers with fewer than 100 employees employ 43 M nationally o 80% (4.8 M) have fewer than 10 employees o 54% (2.6 M) of employers with fewer than 10 employees do not offer health coverage Most small businesses are very small and lack sophisticated HR departments o Average employer in Connecticut exchange has 8 employees
10 Single Point of Entry for Employers All necessary information for employer and employees to make decisions on coverage One application One premium payment & detailed accounting One source for enrollment changes

14 What Will be the Role of Brokers? Brokers have existing relationships and will have ongoing role with small business selling other products Initial launch to the new system has proven critical for both employers and brokers Exchanges will need to balance broker compensation and services with competitive cost to employers Brokers will be impacted by rates paid outside and inside the exchange Successful exchanges train and support brokers on ongoing basis
15 Brokers & Agents Are Vital Employer elects SHOP exchange Employee selects & enrolls in coverage Exchange administers & supports B r o k e r / a g e n t a s s i s t s, e d u c a t e s, & s e r v i c e s HealthPass
16 Other Measures Help Small Business Defined contribution option NY, Utah & Montana Contributions by multiple employers for part-time workers Utah Free choice voucher Support of larger businesses
