2014 Medical Renewal Providence


Mercer recommends that PEBB consider adding margin to the rates to account for potential legislation to reinstate the OMIP and self-insured fees PEBB could retain the 2013 rates, excluding funding assessment, for both the Statewide and Choice plans which would be sufficient to cover those plan rates Another option would be to include a 2% margin to account for OMIP and selfinsured fees which could be used to fund any potential change to the out-ofpocket maximum

Mandated plan changes Update current out-of-pocket maximums and limitations to comply with PPACA non-Grandfathered plan requirements Change alternative care benefit limits from 60 days per provider to 60 visits per type of service - PPACA prohibits the limitation of benefits based on provider types Coverage of certain diagnostic procedures that may be related to clinical trials
