State of the Current Environment
Premiums increased an average of 13.9% in 2003.
Average coverage cost is now $9,068 family/$3,576 single.
Plan sponsors continue to pay an average of 84% of premium for single and 73% for family coverage.
Rx cost increases are driving employers and consumers toward generics. 58% of patients surveyed use the internet to become better educated about their treatment options and costs.
A 4% pay increase is considered good in this economy is often negated by increasing health care costs.
Rising costs squeeze budgets leaving less money for salaries and wages, especially among small employers .
Rather than cutting health benefits, employers are screaming for innovative coverage ideas.
Data excerted from nationwide surveys conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation, Fidelity Investment and Mercer Human Resource Consulting. 4

HRA Trends
What we are seeing
Both HRA & Flex use Benny TM Card for all of 213(d) Using data file to match card swipes to lessen audits letters.
Most plans are NOT funded. Rx and Dental HRA’s are new…we are introducing both for 2004 Flex first vs. second or mutually exclusive Vesting periods and retirement strategy including interest Offering HRA as option or full replacement 13
Employer Advantages of HRA vs HSA
Potential HRA Advantages Potential HSA Disadvantages Cash flow advantage —HRA $’s are a promise to pay. Employer keeps control
Employer has much more flexibility in designing plan
Employer may fund on pay-as-you-go basis but doesn’t have real control.
High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) more strict. Only $1K and 2K deductible or more will apply.
Employer can decide to vest $ or not.
HSAs are owned by EE’s
No trust required, company can set up VEBA. Most don’t.
No restriction on other plans ee may have.
Must set up trust
Maximum out-of-pocket not mandated, company has more freedom to design plan EE’s must use $ for qualified expenses
Employer has more control of expense substantiation process
HSA participant cannot be covered by other plan with lower deductible.
HSAs set limits on plans…$5k for single and $10k for family. Rx plans are problems EE can use $ for car payment and pay penalty
Employer cannot restrict reimbursement or claims process
