A Few Preliminary Remarks

1. The rate filing information presented today reflects

proposed rates to be charged in 2019. OHIC will review

the proposals and determine whether to approve,

modify, or reject them.

2. OHIC’s final approval will be announced by August 1st.

3. Pursuant to RIGL § 27-19-6 & § 27-20-6 the BCBSRI

individual market rate filing will be subject to an

hearing under the APA. 7

Standards of Rate Review

OHIC evaluates whether an insurer’s proposed rates are “consistent

with the proper conduct of its business and with the interest of

the public” based on three key standards:

1. Solvency and actuarial soundness – are rates sufficient to ensure

the solvency of the insurer and based on sound actuarial

principles?

2. Consumer protection – Would consumers receive adequate

contractual benefit in exchange for the proposed premium?

3. Health insurer policies to improve affordability, quality and

accessibility of medical care.

Individual Market Rate Changes

The Overall Weighted Average Rate Change represents adjustments to reflect the benefits in plans, including modifications to prior year benefits and pricing and it includes terminated plans. This weighted average rate increase represents the average rate that consumers will experience. It does not include the effect of changes in age.

The EHB base rate is used by OHIC to compare premiums across insurers and years and represents the monthly average rate for a hypothetical plan with no cost-sharing for a 21-year old for a given insurer in a given market. Essential Health Benefits are a set of benefits that must be covered by plans, as called for in the Affordable Care Act.

2018 rate increases shown above do not include the effect of the Trump Administration’s decision to stop cost sharing reduction (CSR) payments.

THE CHARGE TO THE WORKGROUP

Rhode Island has been here before.In response to the passage of the ACA, our state pulled together a coalition of experts.

Those efforts resulted in providing access to high-quality, affordable health coverage to more Rhode Islanders than ever before.

In 2018, continued efforts are needed to protect that success – for Rhode Island’s individuals, families and business community.

Guiding Principles:1. Sustain a balanced risk pool;

2. Maintain a market that is attractive to carriers, consumers and providers; and

3. Protect coverage gains achieved under the ACA.

Goal: Identify and propose sensible, state-based policy options for RI that will be in service to those Principles.

22

Page 23: MARKET STABILITY WORKGROUP - HealthSource RI · Source: 2019 OHIC Small Group Rate Review Template Part 1, Table A2 & A3 $437 $451 $461 $485 CY 2014 CY 2015 CY 2016 CY 2017 Small

SHARED RESPONSIBILITY REQUIREMENT

A state-based shared responsibility requirement : To mitigate the impact of the federal health insurance mandate penalty repeal, Rhode Island should implement a state-level shared responsibility requirement. For the sake of continuity and simplicity, a requirement should be implemented as soon as practicable and with broad-based support and should use the federal structure as a basis. Any funds raised through the implementation of a shared responsibility requirement should be primarily designated for initiatives aimed at protecting the affordability of health coverage. -MSW Draft Report.5_25_18 p2

In meeting 5, there was consensus that a state-based shared responsibility requirement is consistent with the guiding principles of the Workgroup.

Does the Workgroup support this recommendation?

Consider alternative text here:“should mirror the federal structure.”

23

Page 24: MARKET STABILITY WORKGROUP - HealthSource RI · Source: 2019 OHIC Small Group Rate Review Template Part 1, Table A2 & A3 $437 $451 $461 $485 CY 2014 CY 2015 CY 2016 CY 2017 Small

FURTHER ACTIONIn addition to the above policy recommendations, the Workgroup

acknowledges that further work remains. The Workgroup therefore

recommends the following:

▪ Future action required: Rhode Island should focus next on how to fund a

state reinsurance program and how to best design and implement a

shared responsibility requirement. Additionally, further efforts must be

made to address the particulars of the aforementioned affordability

initiatives, including the impact of recommendations on low-income

Rhode Islanders and whether any further action is necessary to address

this population.

The Workgroup notes that while time is of the essence, carriers setting rates

for the 2020 coverage year can still consider actions taken during the 2019

legislative session. This work should begin without delay and should be

undertaken with participation from the legislative and executive branch.

-MSW Draft Report.5_25_18 p2

In meeting 6, the Workgroup was in general agreement that further work remains and that it needs to be discussed and deliberated on prior to 2020 rate setting.

Does this Workgroup support this recommendation?

REINSURANCE VIA 1332 WAIVER

A 1332 Waiver under the ACA to implement a reinsurance

program: The state should be authorized to submit a 1332 waiver

request as provided for under the ACA to implement a state

reinsurance program. The state reinsurance program should be

designed to mitigate premium increases in the year 2020 and

beyond. The Workgroup acknowledges that 1332 waiver

applications require a stakeholder review process and notes that

any state funding necessary to operate a reinsurance program

would require future legislative action. -MSW Draft Report.5_25_18 p1

In meeting 6, the group largely supported this recommendation.

Does this language accurately reflect the recommendation of the group?

SHORT-TERM LIMITED DURATION PLANS

State authority to regulate Short-Term Limited

Duration (STLD) health plans : OHIC should be

provided with regulatory oversight authority of

STLD plans to ensure such plans are subject to the

same consumer protections that apply to all other

private health insurance coverage offered for sale in

the state. -MSW Draft Report.5_25_18 p1

In meeting 6, the Workgroup voted to provide unanimous support for this recommendation.

Does this language accurately reflect the recommendation of the group?

Tax Credits (APTCs) Are Based on Premium Costs

APTC = $300

Customer pays

Affordable Amount = $200

Total SLCSP Premium = $500

• Affordable amount is determined by income and family size

• The Second-Lowest Cost Silver Plan (SLCSP) is used as the benchmark for APTC calculation

• APTC covers the difference between them

Page 46: MARKET STABILITY WORKGROUP - HealthSource RI · Source: 2019 OHIC Small Group Rate Review Template Part 1, Table A2 & A3 $437 $451 $461 $485 CY 2014 CY 2015 CY 2016 CY 2017 Small

Increased Premiums on the SLCSP Create Dollar-for-Dollar Increases in APTC

APTC = $300

Customer pays

Affordable Amount = $200

Total SLCSP Premium = $500

APTC = $400

Customer pays

Affordable Amount = $200

Total SLCSP Premium = $600

• Customer pays the same amount after APTC, assuming same household and income

Premiums Vary Across Plans

•APTCs can be used to help buy any plan

• If all plans increase by the same percentage:• Cheaper plans (mostly Silver or Bronze) increase by fewer dollars than the SLCSP

and the APTC• More expensive plans (mostly Gold or Silver) increase by more dollars than the

SLCSP and the APTC• The spread of costs across all plans gets larger

•Customer costs after APTC remain steady for the SLCSP, but vary for other plans• Generally increase for more expensive plans, reduce for less expensive plans

Reinsurance Impact on Subsidized Enrollees

• If a new reinsurance program partially or wholly offsets premium increases across all plans:• Both the increases and decreases for other plans are partially or wholly offset• Those in more expensive plans will see a moderated year-to-year increase• Those in less expensive plans will see a moderated year-to-year decrease

•Reinsurance is unlikely to increase anyone’s costs, year-to-year, but may moderate what would otherwise be a large reduction in costs
