SHBP Changes for 2015-Carrier Options • 3 carriers to choose from: BCBS of GA, United Healthcare, & Kaiser Permanente. • BCBS of Georgia: 3 levels of HRA- Gold, Silver & Bronze and statewide HMO • United Healthcare: High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) and statewide HMO • Kaiser Permanente: Regional HMO available to members who work or live in the 27 metro Atlanta counties.

  4. SHBP Changes for 2015- Plan Highlights • Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) • Copays will no longer apply to medical and pharmacy expenses. All services will be subject to the plan deductible and/or co-insurance. • Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) • Members now have the choice of enrolling in statewide or regional HMO plan that offers co-payments for certain services • High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) • Members now have the option of enrolling in an HDHP. With an HDHP you are also eligible to start a Health Savings Account (HSA) to set aside pre-tax dollars for medical expenses. • Out of Pocket Maximums • The medical and pharmacy out of pocket maximums will now be combined • Co-payments count toward the out of pocket maximums for the HMO plans

  5. How the HRA Plans Works • Bronze, Silver and Gold options with different levels of coverage • All services are subject to the plan deductible and/or coinsurance, no copays apply for 2015 • SHBP contributes HRA credits to your HRA account based on the plan option and tier of coverage you choose • These credits provide first dollar coverage for medical and pharmacy expenses • HRA credits left at the end of the year will roll over to the next plan year, if you remain enrolled in an HRA option • If you enroll in an HMO or HDHP plan, you will forfeit any remaining 2014 credits

  6. HRA Plan Features • Preventive services covered at 100% • After you meet your annual deductible, you pay a percentage of the cost, called co-insurance • You are not required to obtain referrals from a PCP to see a Specialist • The credits in your HRA account are used to help meet your deductible and out of pocket max • The medical and pharmacy out of pocket maximum are combined • Certain drug costs are waived if you participate in one of the DM programs- diabetes, asthma, or coronary artery disease

  7. How the HDHP Works • Low monthly premium • Must satisfy high deductible ($3,500 individual, $7,000 family) for all medical and pharmacy expenses (except preventive care) • If you have more than single coverage, the entire family deductible ($7,000) must be met before benefits are payable for any family member • Eligible to establish a Health Savings Account (HSA) to set aside tax-free dollars to pay for eligible health care expenses.
