Don't Give Up "Grandfathered" Status

Seven out of 10 employers (70%) expect to lose grandfathered status by 2012.1  This info comes from the Towers Watson July 2011 Employer Healthcare Benefits Survey, 81 percent of the 368 midsize to large employers participating in the survey currently offer voluntary benefits to their employees. While employers are contemplating only moderate changes to benefit design for 2012, that wellness figure is expected to increase as employers take measures to avoid costly "cadillac" excise taxes planned for companies whose health plan expeditures exceed an aggregate value of more than $10,200 for individual coverage and $27,500 for family coverage.

Other interesting data points emerging from the survey include

  • More than half (57%) of employers are considering rewarding or penalizing their employees based on biometric outcomes (versus 8% today).
  • One in three employers (32%) don't offer health care coverage to their part-time employees.
  • More than four in 10 (44%) employers currently use or are considering using social media tools to impact employee health and well-being (versus 14% today), and 26% currently support or are considering supporting employee health management with the use of online games (versus 9% today).

Additionally, employers are considering further strategy changes in 2014 and 2015:

  • Substantially reduce the health care benefit value of active employees (47%)
  • Reduce employee health care contributions for lower-paid workers (57%)

Learn the Secrets of Cost Avoidance

Using a combination of Mercury's healthcare benefit solutions, we can reduce the costs for self-funded employers significantly, such that these drastic measures will not be necessary.  You don't have to lose grandfathered status, you can add to the benefits and reduce your costs all at the same time.

1. A grandfathered plan is a group health plan that was in existence on the date of enactment of the PPACA (March 23, 2010). These plans are currently exempt from complying with some parts of the health reform law, so long as the plan does not make significant changes to existing policy.
