H -3 AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER MEETING DATE: March 12, 2013 AGENDA ITEM: Request to approve the health insurance rates for 2013 -2014 SUBMITTED BY: Rebecca Owens Director of Finance APPROVED BY: B. Clayton Goodman III County Administrator COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The health insurance plan and premiums were presented to the Board during a work session on February 12, 2013 and approved at the February 26, 2013, Board meeting. As a recap, the County of Roanoke and Roanoke County Public Schools participate in a joint health insurance program for eligible employees. The Roanoke Valley Resource Authority (RVRA) and the Western Virginia Regional Jail Authority (WVRJA) also participate in our plan. This medical plan is self- funded with reinsurance coverage to minimize the financial risk assumed. Reinsurance is currently composed of specific stop loss (individual employee claims) at $200,000. Specific reinsurance protects the plan from any catastrophic claims paid on a member during the plan year. The plan purchases administrative services, access to the network physicians and facilities, and claims administration from Anthem. The premiums have increased by two point five percent (2.5 %), which is well below the national health trends. Beginning in 2013, there will be two new fees charged to the plan associated with the Affordable Care Act including: 1. Patient Centered Outcomes Research Fee — This fee is established to fund research that evaluates and compares health outcomes, clinical effectiveness, risks Page 1 of 3 and benefits of medical treatments and services in an attempt to make health care professional and policy makers better informed regarding treatment options. The fee is $1 per person covered under the plan per year and will be increased to $2 in year two and is payable directly to the Internal Revenue Service in July 2013. 2. Transitional Reinsurance Fee —This fee is intended to spread financial risk across all health insurers for greater market financial stability. It is expected that the state /federal health exchanges will be covering individuals with greater health risk and these fees are intended to offset that additional cost of the exchanges. The fee is expected to be $5.25 per member per month and will be due in January 2014 and payable for at least the first three (3) years of the Exchanges' operations. In an effort to provide both choice and a lower cost option to employees, the Board approved a high deductible health plan (HDHP) with a HRA. The HDHP includes the following general provisions: The County and Schools have consistently kept overall medical costs below the national average with annual increases of zero percent (0.0 %) for 2012 -2013 (after reducing benefits), four point eight percent (4.8 %) for 2011 -2012, four point one percent (4.1 %) for 2010 -2011, zero percent (0 %) for 2009 -2010 and three point four seven percent (3.47 %) for 2008 -2009, while national averages have ranged from eleven to twenty percent (11 % to 20 %) during that time period. The Insurance Committee has been successful in maintaining favorable performance during this time through plan design changes that have addressed the underlying cost drivers of the program. The health insurance premiums for the KeyCare 200 increased two point five percent (2.5 %) for 2013 -2014 and are effective July 1, 2013. Staff recommends the health insurance reserves be used to cover both the employer and employee increase for 2013- 2014 as outlined on Attachment A. This recommended use of the health insurance reserves keeps our reserves at an appropriate level. The Schools approved the health plan, premium and rates at their meeting on February 26, 2013. This approval included the Schools covering both the employer and employee increase from health reserves in the amount of $306,656.

Clayton Goodman III County Administrator TRATOR'S COMMENTS: SUMMARY OF INFORMATION: The dental plan and premiums were presented to the Board during a work session on February 12, 2013, and approved at the February 26, 2013, board meeting. As a recap, the premiums increased by two point three percent (2.3 %) with rate guarantees of a six percent (6 %) capped increase for 2014 -2015 and 2015 -2016. Delta Dental included preventive services within their renewal as follows: • Occlusal night guards • Prevention First program • Composite filling under basic at eight percent (80 %) coverage The agreement is for three (3) years with the option to renew for two (2) additional one (1) year periods. Since the dental plan is on a calendar year basis, a blended rate is calculated for the employee rate each year in order to avoid changing the rates in the middle of the year. Retirees pay a premium that is based on their experience in the dental plan. The dental premiums have increased for 2013 -2014 and are effective July 1, 2013. Staff recommends that employee rates not change and dental reserves cover the increase in the premiums for 2013 -2014 as outlined on Attachment A. Page 1 of 2 The Schools approved the dental plan, premium and rates at their meeting on February 26, 2013. This approval included the Schools covering both the employer and employee increase from dental reserves in the amount of $11,448. FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available in the dental reserves to cover the full cost of the increased premium. The projected amount to be used from reserves for the County is $18,506.
