Recommended Strategy
Implement a Consumer Driven Health Plan for 2011
Preventive Care at 100%
Preventive Medications
outside of deductible
Individual Health Savings
Account (HSA)
High-Deductible Health Plan
Recommended Strategy
Nationally there are over 9 million individuals participating in Consumer Driven Health Care
Within the first year, the trend generally decreases 4-5%
Savings after the first year indicates trend rates lower than traditional plans by 3-5%
Cost savings are not generated by avoidance of appropriate care
Recommended Strategy
A recent survey of HSA account holders by Buck Consultants found:
52% of respondents more closely monitor their health care costs since becoming HSA account holders
46% better understand costs before using services, and 25% choose less costly services
20% are better monitoring their diet and engaging in fitness and exercise
83% completed doctor recommended surgeries at the same rate as before, and 6% completed surgeries more than before
Recommended Strategy
Two Major Plan Components HSA Account
Funding Vehicle/Partially Funded
$750/$1,250 County contribution
High Deductible Health Plan Deductible: $1,500/$3,000 20% Coinsurance Out of Pocket Max:
$3,000/$6,000
Recommended Strategy
Deductible $1,500 Employee Only $3,000 Family
Amount paid by covered member before plan begins
Member pays full cost of the negotiated rate, until deductible
Can be paid from the HSA
Recommended Strategy
20% Co-Insurance
Starts after deductible is met
20% to be paid by member each time a medical service is accessed
80% remaining is paid by the Medical Plan
Can be paid from the HSA
Recommended Strategy
Out of Pocket Maximum $3,000 for Employee only
$6,000 for Family
Designed to protect member in the event of a catastrophic illness (safety net)
Once the out of pocket max is met, all services are covered at 100% by the Plan
