Good claims experience in previous years kept costs lower
System healthcare costs ran to a $17 million deficit last year
Projected costs for 2014 are over budget– Extra fees due to ACA– Enrollment growth– Higher than average claims experience– Migration between plans
Why are the premiums going up for some of the plans?
CVS Caremark will be the Pharmacy Benefit Manager for all the BCBS plans (excluding Kaiser HMO)
One of the largest networks in the country You do not have to use CVS as your pharmacy
CVS Caremark replaces Express Scripts

*IMPORTANT*
Tobacco Surcharge – Action Required!
Affordable Care ActEmployees averaging 30 hours a week are eligible for health insurance(it’s not that simple)
Important dates Transition period
– May 1, 2014 through October 31, 2014– Tracking temp employees working more than 30 hours per week– Potentially benefits eligible in January 2015
End of first 12-month reporting period– May 1, 2015
What has been happening Identification of temps Interpretations of workplace situations Feeding work hours data to the USG
– Payroll hours for hourly temps– Calculated hours from Percent Time for monthly temps
(50% time equates to 20 hours per week)
What is going to happen next The USG is going to review the data from the
transition period to determine who has averaged more than 30 hours per week
They will report back to us in late November We’ll review and reconcile their list Anticipate between 25-50 temps will be
designated as potentially benefits eligible
What is going to happen next USG survey of our methodology USG audit of our practices and results Potential changes to our recordkeeping
methodology
Recordkeeping Options
Temp faculty and staff employment agreement forms
Timesheets for both hourly and monthly temps Electronic timekeeping application
–Expansion of Kronos–Third party vendor compliance tool for UGA–USG compliance tool
Graduate Research Assistants This has been one of the most debated groups
both within the USG and nationally Very difficult to distinguish between
“academic training” time and “work” time USG has decided to explore the possibility of
establishing a separate health insurance plan for GRAs
Early stages of development; more to come
