12. Dependent Audit KEHP will be conducting a dependent audit during the 2009 plan year. Purposes of audit is to verify that each dependent listed on plans is actually eligible for coverage. Each employee should review the dependent eligibility section for the 2009 Plan Year KEHP Handbook to determine if their dependents are eligible. If dependents do not meet the eligibility guidelines, employees should remove the ineligible dependents during Open Enrollment.

13. Dependent Eligibility Under a new option for 2009, employees will be able to cover their unmarried dependent children up to the end of the month in which the dependent turns 25. Choosing this new option for unmarried dependent child(ren) may subject the employee contributions to a different tax treatment

14. Dependent Eligibility Dependent Child Eligibility ◦ Unmarried ◦ Family-type relationship to the plan holder  Child plan holder  Stepchild  Adopted/placed child  Foster child  Grandchild

15. Dependent Eligibility Plan holder is primarily responsible for dependents maintenance and support Under age 25 Any person who knowingly with intent to defraud any insurance company by filing an insurance application containing false information or conceals for the purpose of misleading information would be committing fraud which is a crime. This includes adding a dependent to the plan that does not meet the KEHP eligibility guidelines.

16. Dependent Eligibility An employee will not be able to pay dependent premiums on a pre-tax basis if the employee’s /plan holder’s dependent(s) CANNOT MEET ONE of these definitions:  Qualifying Child  Qualifying Relative

17. Dependent Eligibility Qualifying Child is a child who is unmarried and: – Family-type relationship to the plan holder – Lives with the plan holder in his/her household for more than half of the tax year (exceptions such a “temporary absences” if a full-time student) – Under age 19 and not a full-time student (or under age 24 if a full-time student) as of the end of the calendar year in which the member’s taxable year begins. A “student” means an individual who, during each of the five (5) calendar months during the calendar year in which the employee’s taxable year begins, is a full-time student at an educational organization.

18. Dependent Eligibility Qualifying Child (continued) ◦ There is no age requirement if a child is permanently and totally disabled ◦ Individual must not provide more than half of his or her own support for calendar year in which the taxable year of the employee begins.

19. Dependent Eligibility Qualifying Relative is a child or other individual who: – Family-type relationship to the member taxpayer (a child of the employee…etc.) and is someone who resides with the employee in his/her household for the member’s taxable year – A person cannot be a “qualifying relative” of the member if at any time during the taxable year the relationship between the member and the person violates federal, state or local law – Receives over half of his/her support from the member taxpayer. (Support includes food, shelter, clothing, medical and dental care education and the like.) – Is not anyone’s (including the member’s) “qualifying child”

20. Dependent Eligibility All dependents on the plan age 19-23 to be considered a qualifying child MUST be a full- time student. If they are not, they MUST meet the qualifying relative definition Employees who choose to add a dependent on their plan year who will turn 24 or 25 during the 2009 plan year will pay their total premiums post tax unless they can show proof that they are eligible for pre-tax.

21. Dependent Eligibility Tax Consequences – Paying dependent premiums on a pre-tax basis for an individual who does not meet the definition of “qualifying child” or “qualifying relative” may be in violation of federal tax law – However, if a dependent child fails to meet the requirements of “qualifying child” or “qualifying relative” he or she may be eligible to be covered as a dependent on a post-tax basis pursuant to KEPH plan eligibility defined in KRS 304.17A-256. If you are electing to cover a dependent on a post-tax basis then you must acknowledge the post-tax status.

22. 2009 Health Plan Choices Commonwealth Optimum PPO Commonwealth Maximum Choice* Commonwealth Capitol Choice* Commonwealth Standard PPO* *Three of the Four plan choices have no employee contribution for single coverage!

23. Health Plans Commonwealth Optimum PPO ◦ Result of combining Enhanced and Premier ◦ 85%-15% co-insurance in-network –70%-30% out-of-network ◦ Single deductible $250, Family $500 ◦ Single Out-of-pocket maximum $1125, Family $2250 ◦ $10 co-pay for office visits ◦ Prescriptions $5.00, $20.00 & $40.00

24. Prescription Drugs For the Commonwealth Optimum PPO and the Commonwealth Capitol Choice Plans the Prescription copays are different in 2009: 20082009 1 st Tier$5$5 2 nd Tier$15$20 3 rd Tier$30$40

25. Health Plans Commonwealth Maximum Choice ◦ Replaces the Commonwealth Select Plan ◦ Employees with the 2008 Select Plan who pick the Commonwealth Maximum Choice for 2009 will “roll over” any unused 2008 HRA funds into the HRA attached to the Commonwealth Maximum Choice Plan ◦ Retirees are NOT eligible to take the Commonwealth Maximum Choice

26. Commonwealth Maximum Choice HRA The KEHP funds the Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) based on level of coverage (these funds are available first day of the plan year): Single$1,000 Couple$1,500 Parent Plus $1,500 Family$2,000 When these funds are used to pay for medical and prescription services they reduce the deductible. You are responsible for all costs between the HRA funding, and the total deductible. Example: Single coverage has a $2000 deductible, HRA funds are $1000. The $1000 difference between the two, is member’s responsibility. Once the deductible has been met the plan pays 90%, member coinsurance is 10%. Because this plan has no co-pays, once the out of pocket maximum has been reached services are paid at 100%

27. Example: How the HRA Plan Works Kelly has the Commonwealth Maximum Choice PPO Plan with a $1000 Health Reimbursement Account (HRA), Kelly’s deductible is $2000: – She has minor surgery at an in-network facility Humana calculates the provider discount and then Kelly’s doctor sends her a bill for $375 Kelly writes her HumanaAcccess card number on the bill and sends it back to her doctor The $375 she paid with her HRA also applies to her deductible – Kelly’s doctor prescribes a prescription drug that costs $125: Kelly swipes her HumanaAccess card to cover the prescription cost at the pharmacy, paid out of her HRA funds. The prescription cost also reduces Kelly’s deductible – Kelly’s out-of-pocket costs total is $0 (she used her HRA funds to pay for her services) – Kelly still has $500 left in her HRA – Kelly has now met $500 of her $2000 deductible

28. HRA/FSA Integration: Commonwealth Maximum Choice Plan A Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) may be used to fund member responsibility expenses on a tax free basis Premium savings from selection of the Commonwealth Maximum Choice plan versus other selections may fund or assist in funding a FSA

29. Health Plans Commonwealth Capitol Choice – Brand New Plan – $500 per family member “benefit allowance” that provides 100% coverage (subject to co-pays) for many in-network services before you start paying towards the deductible – Benefit Allowance is “use it or lose it” –Does not roll – Co-pays on office visits and prescriptions – After payment of $100 per admission co-pay and $500 annual deductible, you pay nothing for additional hospital facility charges.

30. How Commonwealth Capitol Choice Works Steve has the Commonwealth Capitol Choice PPO plan with the $500 benefit allowance, a $500 deductible, office visit co-pay $15 and a 20% co-insurance Steve’s first claim is for a routine care (annual exam) office visit. – Total charge, after provider discount is $125 – Steve pays his $15 office visit co-pay – The plan pays 100% of the approved balance ($110). The benefit allowance is still $500 Steve’s second claim is for strep throat, he has an office visit and receives a prescription – Total charge, after provider discount is $85. – Steve pays his $15 office visit co-pay. – The plan pays for the approved balance of $70 from the benefit allowance. The benefit allowance is reduced to $430. – Steve pays his $20 co-pay and picks up his prescription at the pharmacy. – The cost of this prescription does not affect the benefit allowance.

31. How Commonwealth Capitol Choice Works Steve has physical therapy following minor surgery, the physical therapy benefit is subject to the deductible then 20% coinsurance. – Total cost of the service after provider discount is $1500 The Benefit Allowance covers the first $430 ($70 was used on previous service) Steve is responsible for his $500 deductible, this reduces the claim balance to $570. Steve is also responsible for $114, which is his 20% coinsurance amount. Steve has now used all of his benefit allowance and has met his $500 deductible If Steve had chosen a plan without the benefit allowance, his total member responsibility for this claim would have been $700 ($500 deductible and $200 coinsurance). » Total Bill1500 » Minus benefit allowance 430 Plan pays » 1070 » Minus Steve’s deductible 500 Steve pays » 570 » Steve’s 20% coinsurance 114 Steve pays » Balance 456 Plan pays

32. Health Plans Commonwealth Standard PPO ◦ Replaces the Commonwealth Essential Plan ◦ Higher member deductibles ◦ Higher member co-insurance ◦ Higher annual maximum out-of-pocket ◦ Lower premiums ◦ NEW: A single coverage option is now available
