6. Projected Value of Plan Changes Increasing coinsurance, the application of deductible and coinsurance for Office Visit procedures, increasing PCP and Specialist copayments, increasing T2 prescriptions and the related plan design changes: Projected annualized savings $5,252,000 (not fully achieved until 7/1/16) Increasing the Deducible for 1/1/16: Projected annualized savings $5,855,000 (not fully achieved until 1/1/17) While these changes are projected to save approximately $11 million plan-wide on an annual basis, Fayetteville alone had over $4 million in catastrophic claims expenses in the first six months of 2015 and has another $5.7 million in projected claims for 20 existing known catastrophic cases. 6

7. Plan Design Changes Relative to Others Kaiser Health Survey ◦ 81% of employer plans apply a deductible, for 2015 that average deductible is $1,318 ◦ As recently as 2006 only 55% of plans applied a deductible ◦ In 2014 for the UAS Plan ◦ The total average deductible paid per member was $138.47 and the average coinsurance paid was $94.52. For the same period the UMR book of business average deductible paid was $299 and the average coinsurance paid was $208. ◦ Of all UAS health plan members, less than 9% met their deductible in 2014 ($750) or the OOP Maximum. ◦ Historic premium allocations have made the University the employer of choice for dependent coverage. The plan still provides a subsidy of approximately 78% for all tiers of coverage. The health plan was an outlier in the scope of services covered under the fixed Office Visit copayment. The look-forward/look-backward timeframe assigned to “associated with” an Office Visit was a particular outlier and required special handling by the TPA (QC and UMR) and slowed claims processing. Plan design changes offset a premium increase-only approach by shifting some expenses to those who are actually using the plan. The campus-paid premium subsidy averages 78%. How much premium increase can campuses absorb? Design changes were required. All preventive services as identified in the CDC and ACIP guidelines remain at $0 out of pocket expense for plan members. 7
