Health Insurance Exchange

4

Health Insurance Exchange (HIX) • Open Enrollment is 11/15/2014 - 2/15/15.

(see https://www.healthcare.gov/marketplace-deadlines for more information)

• Patients who kept their plans with NO CHANGES back when ACA originally first became law (3/23/2010) and are termed, “grandfathered”, can continue with those plans; however, providers and patients need to remember that those plans did not have mandated preventive services at $0 copay.

• Those “non-grandfathered” plans where patients were given early renewal status to extend their existing non-ACA coverage to 12/1/14 have been given an extra month’s extension to 1/1/15 by the BOI. Come 1/1/15, there will no-longer be “non-grandfathered” plans.

• For these above, letters have already gone out to Small Groups (SG); letters to Individuals were mailed 10/6 - 10/29/14.

• Anthem’s premium increase for Individual plans from 2014 to 2015 averages 3%.

• Penalties for no coverage will be assessed at TAX TIME.

5

HIX Information (continued)

• The 90-day grace period for premiums is still only applicable to those with premium subsidies.

• Subsidies will be re-determined in 2015; patients must check the box on the application to confirm income; otherwise, subsidy may be lost.

• All 2014 ACA plans will see changes due to government mandates (Federal and State) and also some changes for Anthem’s experience. • Small Group will begin domestic partner coverage effective 1/1/15.

(ON and OFF Exchange; see healthcare.gov for definition).

• Drug formularies will all be 4-Tier (ON and OFF Exchange, Individual and Small Group).

• Breast cancer risk-reducing meds added to ACA Preventive Care.

• The Bariatric surgery rider will be gone 1/1/15 (Individual and Small Group).

• Pediatric dental will be embedded in all plans 1/1/15 (even for those with no children).

6

Changes to Naming Convention

Plan names will include: • Master brand • Metal level • On-Exchange indicator (X) • Network Type (for POS plans only;

HMO will not appear in the name.) • Deductible and coinsurance (for

HSA plans only the coinsurance will be included)

• American Indian (AI) • Subsidy (S04, S05 or S06) • HSA Indicator

Plan names changing for ACA plans • All 2015 plans will follow the new naming convention • Multi-State Plan (MSP) names will stay the same.

Medicare/Medicaid Duals (CCC)

15

Medicare / Medicaid DUAL Eligibles • CMS and DMAS implemented a fully integrated dual demonstration

program called “Commonwealth Coordinated Care”, to better serve approximately 78,000 individuals in VA who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid (dual eligibles- also referred to as MMP).

• Dual coverage eligibility is not new– What is new is this 3-year “demonstration” which began on April 1, 2014, and operates in five (5) VA regions, i.e. Northern, Central, Tidewater, Western/Charlottesville, and Roanoke.

• Anthem was selected for all five regions, along with VA Premier and Humana.

• As this is Medicare driven, providers who accept Medicare today should enroll (providers do not have to be with DMAS or HK+ to be in Duals)

16

MMP (continued)

• Our Duals product includes the selection or assignment of a PCP but there is no formal PCP referral requirement; however, there is a requirement for precertification of certain services, e.g. hospital admissions, etc.

• Our Duals product includes the use of LabCorp and also the same fee-for-service physician office lab (POL) lists that we use today for regular HK and HK+ members. These lists are found in your provider agreement and also online under Answers @ Anthem. (see next slide)

• Anthem began our network development efforts via a mailing back in July 2013 for an original effective date of January 2014; however, that date moved to April 2014 and some providers never joined.

• Anthem’s statewide Duals (MMP) enrollment is currently at 10,414.

• The prefix for this plan is YRC and the Provider Call Center # is (855) 817-6788.

• If your provider(s) wishes to join now, please contact your network manager for the Add-a-Plan process.

17

Physician Office Lab lists (online)

NOTE: Any Virginia Anthem product with “HealthKeepers, Inc.” on the ID card is subject to using LabCorp or these POL lists for office-based lab tests.
