4 Multi-State Plans—more options for Delawareans Two MSPs are available in the Individual market MSPs will cover the same Delaware essential health benefit package as other QHPs. According to OPM, these plans were selected because: 1.They “have a broad network of providers, a high percentage of spending on health care rather than administrative costs, and strong consumer protections,“ and 2."These plans may also provide families with members who live in different states the option of being enrolled in the same plan." 4 Plan NamePlan ID Metal Level Base Premium Monthly Rate* (Non-Smoker) Base Premium Monthly Tobacco Rate* Rate Compared to State-certified QHPs Blue Cross Blue Shield Shared Cost 3000, a Multi-State Plan 76168DE0390001Silver$226.29$231.95 Same as 2nd Lowest Silver QHP Blue Cross Blue Shield Health Savings 1800, a Multi-State Plan 76168DE0390002Gold$269.24$275.97Same as Lowest Gold QHP Actual rates will be based on age, family size, as well as any tax credits for which an individual may quality.

5 ACA Impact on Premium Rates Provisions of the ACA has significant impact on consumer rates for 2014. Among other things, premium rates are affected by: Coverage of all 10 essential health benefits and benchmark benefits Removal of annual and lifetime limitations 80/20 Medical/Loss Ratio, which requires Issuers to spend at least 80% of premium on medical care and efforts to improve quality care, and no more than 20% on administrative costs. Issuers cannot deny coverage due to pre-existing conditions Rating factors that only include age, tobacco use, and family composition.  SADP rates are exempt from premium rating requirements, so dental premiums may still be individually underwritten. The tables on the following slides provide a list of QHP medical plans along with the deductible and out-of-pocket limits, and base premium rates. 5

16 Consumer Costs associated with health plans Premium - The premium is the cost of the health insurance plan for one year. It can usually be made in one lump sum payment or divided into monthly payments. Cost Sharing: All plans include a out-of-pocket limit, but may also include copays, deductibles and coinsurance. Cost sharing arrangements depend on each plan’s specific design. Copay - Copayments are a set amount that must be paid out-of-pocket for medical services and prescriptions; the health insurance pays the rest of the amount. Each service or prescription may have a set copayment that is the responsibility of the insured. In some cases, Copays may or may not apply to the enrollee’s deductible, coinsurance, or out-of-pocket maximum. In addition, not all services may require a copay. Deductible - A deductible is a certain monetary amount that must be paid out-of-pocket before the health insurance will begin to cover health service costs. Out-of-pocket expenses that count towards a deductible include doctor visits, cost of prescriptions, and some medical equipment. Once the deductible has been paid, the health insurance will begin to cover medical expenses. Coinsurance - Coinsurance is a health care cost sharing between the consumer and their insurance company. Coinsurance is the percentage you pay when your health plan pays less than 100% for covered services. Your health plan will not pay toward services with a coinsurance until you have paid your annual deductible. Maximum Out of Pocket (MOOP) - is the maximum amount of money the consumer would pay for medical services in a calendar year. Generally speaking out of pocket expenses that accumulate to the MOOP include deductibles, coinsurance or copays. The MOOP amounts are listed in the Schedule of Benefits, Covered Services and Exclusions sections of each plan.

17 Cost Sharing Reductions People who purchase coverage through the Marketplace may be able to lower costs on deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. The savings is based on income and family size. Issuers offering coverage through the Marketplace must lower the amount a person pays out of pocket for essential health benefits if the household income is below the following amounts. (Incomes below are based on 2013 numbers. They are likely to be slightly higher in 2014. Amounts are different for each family size, up to 8.)essential health benefits – Up to $28,725 for individuals – Up to $38,775 for a family of 2 – Up to $48,825 for a family of 3 – Up to $58,875 for a family of 4 – Up to $68,925 for a family of 5 – Up to $78,975 for a family of 6 – Up to $89,025 for a family of 7 – Up to $99,075 for a family of 8 When consumers apply for coverage in the Marketplace, the person will learn if they are eligible for these savings on out-of-pocket costs. 17 Cost-sharing reductions may only be applied to Silver-level plans

Willingness to trade lower premium for higher up front cost sharing Application of reduced cost sharing (based on second lowest cost silver plan) to other metal tiers. 18
