Employees Group 0 Insurance Division Interim Study 18-046 Sept. 25, 2018

Key Take Aways 1  Success of HealthChoice self- funded model.  No rate increase for 2019.  Future increases in employee benefit allowance costs.

Effective Self-Funded Model 2  HealthChoice partners with the private sector for key areas of administration while retaining certain functions to ensure efficiency and price transparency.  Premium increases for the self-funded model are below the national trend.  Very low administrative costs compared to national benchmarks.  Contracts directly with providers and hospitals which allows more control over price increases.
