FEATURES 67 Telehealth Emerges in a Consumer-Driven Marketplace With the onset of the Affordable Care Act, new health care trends are driving consumer interest in telehealth to an all-time high. As millions of previously uninsured Americans begin purchasing health care for the first time, many are selecting high deductible health plans to avoid the drastic increase in monthly premium costs. Likewise, increased costs have caused many businesses to restructure their benefit strategies, switching to self-funded plans, defined contribution plans, higher deductible plans or simply sending employees to private or public exchanges to find their own insurance. The health care industry is evolving — and it will continue to become more antiquated, inefficient and costly unless there is change. It’s the perfect storm for innovation. By Jeff Marks, Chief Executive Officer, healthPERX
72 Building the Next Generation of Health Care Health care in America is in a time of transition. In the past, the system focused on the needs of employers and health care providers, insulating the end user, the patient, in many health coverage decisions. And, while employers and providers are essential partners in the health care system, now is the time to further engage patients and develop solutions to help them be motivated and active users of health care. As a result, new tools have emerged that give patients easy-to-understand cost and quality information that will help them better navigate the health care system. These tools are the first step in making consumers savvy shoppers. They are essential to helping consumers thrive in the environment where they are responsible for a greater share of their health care dollars, and, as a result, purchasing decisions. Health care needs to make it easy for consumers to “shop” for health care through online and mobile information prior to and at the point of care. By Dudley Slater, Executive Vice President, Direct Health Solutions, Cambia Health Solutions
INSIDE The Industry’s Only Magazine Dedicated Exclusively to Health Exchanges HealthCare Exchange Solutions HealthCare Exchange Solutions helps you understand the choices in the health and benefit marketplace and make the best decisions among a complicated array of exchange solutions options.
COMING UP NEXT: Following the FORUM & Expo conference in May, The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism will be exploring
supplemental benefits and population health management with its May/June issues of HealthCare Consumerism Solutions and HealthCare Exchange Solutions. New technology — telehealth and exchanges, most notably — is driving real change in how health care and employee benefits are delivered and administered, and health management will need to respond to these industry changes.

ONLINE EXCLUSIVES Evolution of the HSA Toward Promoting Wellness As someone who works in the health care industry, I often field questions about Medicare (from my parents), plan benefits (from my staff), and which insurance companies are the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bestâ&#x20AC;? (from family and friends). Last week, however, my wife posed a question about our health savings account which I had not heard before. She asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we use our HSA to pay for our gym membership?â&#x20AC;? I did not have a good answer. By Tim Borchert, Deputy Director, Business Advisory Services, Altarum Institute
Hey Wellness, Lighten Up! Wellness needs to lighten up. It is too heavy as a category and sadly is misaligned with the very individuals it is trying to impact: consumers (yes, employees are consumers). Layer on that it is delivered top down from an employer solely to their employees and it is heavier. Add to it that employers are becoming their own wellness administrators and the system may just as well crumble under the weight of its own ambiguity and inefficiency. Shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we take a more critical eye to a category that from a macro standpoint has not proven to significantly improve the health of a population?

The report confirms the core message that The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism has been delivering for the past decade: consumerism is coming to health care, and all stakeholders will need to innovate or get left behind. In a $2.8 trillion health care market, the new entrants are fighting for billions of dollars in market share. There has never been a more pertinent time to become engaged with the various educational and media channels offered by The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism.

In the pages of this issue, contributors have covered many of the key areas of innovation: telehealth, private exchanges, mHealth and the gamification of wellness. In his feature, Jeff Marks take a deep dive into the role of telehealth solutions in a consumerdriven marketplace. For the cover feature, Dudley Slater has given us a comprehensive overview of one of the most innovative organizations in health care today: Cambia Health Solutions, a nonprofit total health solutions company that is investing in and building companies that change the way people use and experience the health care system. As an umbrella organization for 22 companies, Cambia is working on all fronts to make the health care system better for the consumer. Finally, with only a few weeks remaining until FORUM & Expo in Atlanta, I hope to see many of our readers at the conference. If you cannot attend the May event, I ask you consider the FORUM West show this December in Las Vegas. And remember: if you cannot attend either event, you can always access the videos after each event, take the exam and become Certified in HealthCare Consumerism.

WHEN: January 1, 2016 or the next policy anniversary following January 1, 2016. WHAT: The federal government: (1) postponed the PPACA health insurance mandate for groups with 50-99 employees, and (2) did not postpone the mandated requirement for coverage for groups of 100 or more employees. The new standard does allow groups of 100 or more employees a lesser requirement on the percentage of full-time employees that need to be covered under their health plan, before being subject to a tax penalty: a. 70 percent of full-time employees in 2015, and b. 95 percent in 2016 and later years.

The rules are referred to as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;employer mandate.â&#x20AC;? This mandate had previously been delayed from January 1, 2014 until January 1, 2015. The mandate has now been delayed further until January 1, 2016 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but only for groups with 50 to 99 employees. There is no delay for groups of 100 or more employees. There is, however, a relaxing on the percentage of full-time employees to whom groups of 100+ must offer coverage. For these groups, penalties in 2015 will apply only to employers who fail to offer
8 March/April 2014 * XXX 5IF*)$$ DPN * HealthCare Consumerism Solutionsâ&#x201E;˘
coverage to at least 70 percent of their full-time workforce. In 2016 and beyond, the non-penalty threshold will be 95 percent for all groups of 50 or more full-time employees. In addition, several methods of calculating â&#x20AC;&#x153;full-timeâ&#x20AC;? employees have been approved: a. Adjunct faculty: count 2 Âź hours for each hour of teaching and one hour for each hour outside of the classroom performing required duties. b. Employees with â&#x20AC;&#x153;on-callâ&#x20AC;? hours: count hours of service, including any on-call hours for which the employee has been paid or is entitled to payment. c. Seasonal employees: Employees for which the customary annual employment is six months or less generally will not be considered full-time employees. d. Re-hired employees: a returning employee is a new employee if the break is more than 13 weeks. The new regulations exclude from â&#x20AC;&#x153;hours of serviceâ&#x20AC;? certain workforce activities, including: a. Hours contributed by bona fide volunteers for a government or tax-exempt entity, b. Service performed by students under federal or state-sponsored work-study programs, and c. Any work performed subject to a vow of poverty as a member of a religious order when the work is in the performance of tasks usually required of an active member of the order. ACTIONS: Employer plan sponsors should consult with their agent, broker, plan consultant, legal counsel or human resources department to determine if and when any changes apply to their group. You should also be sure to follow the specific rules for calculating full-time employees to assure which size group your company falls into and what changes or delays apply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

LEARN.CONNECT.SHARE. What’s Happening at the Institute BY DUSTY RHODES » DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION » THE INSTITUTE FOR HEALTHCARE CONSUMERISM
The 2014 IHC FORUM & Expo Is Just Around the Corner Each day bring us closer to one of the health and benefits industry’s premier events of the year, The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism’s FORUM & Expo. And this year’s event, focused around the theme “HealthCare Consumerism: The Solution for Health Care Reform,” will be larger and more encompassing than ever before as all stakeholders converge in Atlanta to find real solutions in the murky waters of today’s health and benefits industry. The three-day event will be headlined by a great debate on the future of our health care system between John Goodman, president and CEO, National Center for Policy Analysis, and Kenneth Thorpe, Robert W. Woodruff Professor of Health Policy at Emory University and former health policy advisor to President Clinton. Special thanks to our platinum sponsor, ConnectYourCare, and gold sponsors, WageWorks and HealthSparq.
Nominations Now Open for the 2014 HealthCare Consumerism Superstars Awards and Issue The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism is proud to announce that nominations for the 2014 HealthCare Consumerism Superstars awards are now open. For the past nine years, The Institute has recognized outstanding professionals in the health and benefit management industry, including employers, brokers, benefit consultants, TPAs, health plans and solution providers. These individuals are awarded for their excellence at implementing solutions that advance the adoption and maturity of health care consumerism within their organizations or with their clients. Last year, the HealthCare Consumerism Superstars awards were given to more than 60 individuals and organizations, including major companies such as Proctor & Gamble, Cummins, MasterCard and MGM Resorts International. The Institute’s Superstars and Industry Innovators will be published in November 2014 as part of the annual HealthCare Consumerism Superstars issue and will be announced at the FORUM West conference December 5 - 6 in Las Vegas.
Education for the inaugural Certified in HealthCare Consumerism designation began at the 2013 FORUM West in Las Vegas and will continue this May at the 2014 IHC FORUM & Expo. So far this year, several individuals — brokers, employers and vendors — have already passed the exam and received their CHC designation! For more information on becoming certified or other education programs offered by The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism, don’t hesitate to contact me at drhodes@theihcc.com.
The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism Revamps PrivateHealthCareExchanges.com to Address Significant Industry Growth and Changes In the spring of 2013, The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism foresaw the movement of employer-sponsored health insurance to private health care exchanges and consequently launched HealthCare Exchange Solutions, the industry’s only magazine dedicated exclusively to the exchanges. In October 2013, PrivateHealthCareExchanges.com was launched to continue The Institute’s vision of the future of health benefits. To date, PrivateHealthCareExchanges.com remains the only online directory for private exchange solutions readily available to the public. Throughout 2014, significant changes have come to the directory, including adding over 40 more solutions, logos and more in-depth data. The directory at PrivateHealthCareExchanges.com now has over 130 private exchanges listed. As of this writing, it is currently offline due to major construction of the database and improvements in the Web design; however, a revamped version of the website and directory will be available again in the days leading up to FORUM & Expo.
Annual HealthCare Consumerism Outlook Publishes with 20 Perspectives on the Future of Health Care and Employee Benefits
The Certified in HealthCare Consumerism Designation Takes Off
Every spring, The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism collaborates with forward-thinking consultants, health policy leaders and non-profit think tanks to produce its annual HealthCare Consumerism Outlook. The Outlook issue covers a variety of topics, including health care transparency, HSAs, telehealth, ObamaCare, onsite clinics, supplemental health benefits, population health management, private exchanges and more.
As part of The Institute for HealthCare Consumerism’s mission statement to enable all stakeholders to participate in the advancement of health care consumerism, we are proud to introduce the inaugural IHC certification designation that allows forward-thinking professionals the opportunity to become Certified in HealthCare Consumerism. This is a great opportunity to take your professional career to the next level and reaffirm your position as a leader in the health and benefit management industry.
This year’s issue — the most comprehensive to date — featured perspectives from Barbara Gniewek, Principal, and Jonathan Har-Even, Manager, PricewaterhouseCoopers; Cindy Gillespie, Senior Managing Director, McKenna, Long & Aldridge, LLP; Suzanne F. Delbanco, Ph.D., Executive Director, Catalyst for Payment Reform; Tine Hansen-Turton, Executive Director, Convenient Care Association; Krista Drobac, Executive Director, Alliance for Connected Care; and many more!

People are taking more responsibility than ever before for their personal health, as well as managing their health care finances. Aetna is supporting this change by providing people with the tools and information that will help them live healthier lives and understand the financial impact of their choices. Aetna HealthFund® plans are a prime example of how Aetna is developing solutions that help our members directly, in addition to supporting employers as they navigate a rapidly-changing health care system. The Aetna HealthFund plans have a track record of reducing health care costs for employers, while empowering employees to manage their health.

Across both groups, employers that used a comprehensive implementation strategy saw lower health care costs compared with employers that did not use several “best practices.” These best practices include a yearround employee communications strategy, offering incentives for healthy behaviors, and a combination of wellness and care management programs. While employers that replace their health benefits plans with Aetna HealthFund plans saved nearly $208 per member per year, employers that used these best practices saw an additional $70 per member per year of savings compared with employers that did not use these approaches.

FEATURE 11 The Power of Choice: The Game-Changing Combination of Private Exchanges and Health Savings Accounts Private exchanges are coming. Regardless of which study you pick or which representative sample of employers you survey, the numbers suggest a sizable number of U.S. employers will adopt some form of private exchange solution by the end of the decade. But what effects will the emerging private exchanges really have on employer-sponsored health care? Benefit plan designs? Account-based plans and the health care consumerism mega-trend? In this feature, John Young and Todd Berkley — two veterans of health care consumerism through former roles at Cigna and Optum respectively — present groundbreaking research on private exchanges, particularly examining the symbiosis between private exchanges and health savings accounts — two generations of health care consumerism coming together to accelerate the mega-trend.

10 Is 2014 the Year of ‘Evaluate then Decide’ When it Comes to Exchanges? They are some of this year’s biggest buzz words. Exchanges — whether private or public — have people talking, wondering how they will fare, how many employers will adopt them and so on. As managing director of exchange solutions for Towers Watson, a global professional services company, Bryce Williams has a unique view into the exchange world. From his perspective, while 2013 was the year of “wait and see” for exchanges, 2014 is the year of “evaluate then decide”.

NEWS BRIEFS & INNOVATIONS

With this agreement, Benefitfocus creates a channel for employers to facilitate enrollment in Qualified Health Plans for employees who may be eligible for an advanced premium tax credit through the Federally Facilitated Marketplace.

Array Health to Offer Private Exchange Solution Through AHIP Connect Program Array Health announced its approval to participate in the AHIP Connect program. AHIP Connect is an industry solution provider sourcing and independent evaluation program that helps AHIP’s health plan members choose companies to implement operational business solutions that reduce costs; increase efficiency, safety and quality; and enhance the consumer experience.

Laurus Strategies Launches Private Exchange Consulting Practice Laurus Strategies, a leading business resource firm specializing in HR, employee benefits and risk management solutions, announced the formal launch of its Private Exchange Consulting practice. The PEC practice was created in 2013 to provide independent, best-inclass health care benefits consulting in the rapidly evolving exchange market. With health care reform underway and private health insurance exchanges gaining momentum, many company executives are struggling to understand what is legally mandated and what the most efficient and effective solution is for their workforce. Adding to this dynamic is the fact that several well-known benefits consulting firms have developed or purchased their own private exchanges.
Liazon Welcomes Humana to the Bright Choices Exchange Liazon has announced that Humana medical and ancillary products will be offered on their Bright Choices Exchange in six select states. Markets will begin quoting in March and April. Future expansion will incorporate Humana medical and ancillary products in additional states throughout 2014 and 2015. Bright Choices’ users with a Humana medical plan can participate in Humana’s wellness and rewards solution, HumanaVitality, a proven, data-driven wellness and rewards program that focuses developing and reinforcing healthy lifestyles.
SelectQuote Benefit Solutions Forms Comprehensive Partnership with GetInsured Through a partnership with GetInsured, SelectQuote Benefit Solutions has added health insurance for pre-65 individuals to their employer benefits portfolio. The integrated partnership allows households to
manage their health insurance benefits — for both pre- and post-65 individuals — through one comprehensive exchange platform. The private exchange marketplace offered by SelectQuote Benefit Solutions and GetInsured allows employees and retirees a broader range of choices, offers plan savings and allows both pre- and post-65 health care coverage independent of the employer.
Bloom Health Advances Its Private Exchange Platform with Empyrean Benefit Solutions Partnership Bloom Health has announced their partnership with Empyrean Benefit Solutions, one of the fastest-growing, most advanced benefits technology and service firms, to enhance the Bloom Private Exchange Platform solution. Bloom Health has been operating private exchanges for health plans, employers and insurance agencies since 2009. The Private Exchange Platform gives employees industry-leading decision support to make informed benefit decisions, while providing employers with cost predictability and administrative relief for HR staff. Bloom Health sells its platform with insurance company sales representatives, through agents and brokers and direct to employers.
bswift to Accelerate Growth With Investment From Great Hill Partners bswift recently announced that it has received a minority equity investment of $51 million from Great Hill Partners, a Boston-based private equity firm focused on partnering with rapidly growing technology and technology-enabled services companies. bswift’s existing leadership team will use proceeds from the financing to further strengthen its service and technology offerings and solidify bswift’s position as a market leader. Great Hill Partners’ investment was funded with equity financing from Great Hill Equity Partners IV, LP, its $1.1 billion committed pool of capital that provides significant availability for follow-on investments.
Moody’s: Benefit Consultants Early Winners in Private Health Exchanges Major benefit consulting firms are investing resources to develop private exchanges, said Moody’s Investors Service in its new report “Benefit Consultants Are Early Winners in Building Private Health Exchanges.” The rating agency notes that enrollment in private exchanges could grow to tens of millions of active employees by the end of this decade from fewer than one million enrolled currently. Moody’s report noted that exchange-related earnings for leading consultants — Aon Hewitt, Mercer and Towers Watson — will be partly offset in the near term by the costs of developing exchanges and by the fact that many enrollees in active employee exchanges are existing clients transitioning from company-specific health plans to exchange-based plans.
Q4 Announces Private Exchange Contract With the Largest Insurance Agency in Arkansas Q4 Systems Corporation announced that they will be implementing their comprehensive QHIX Health Exchange Platform for The Hatcher Agency, Arkansas’ largest insurance group. Hatcher is also the largest agency for Blue Cross Blue Shield in Arkansas with more than 600 employers as clients. QHIX, built by Q4 Systems Corporation, is an industry-leading, cloud-based platform for managing all elements of a private exchange offering.

INDIVIDUAL EXCHANGES BY JONATHAN FIELD MANAGING EDITOR THE INSTITUTE FOR HEALTHCARE CONSUMERISM
Mercer Creates Complete Workforce Exchange Solution Through Partnership with GetInsured
W
ith 67 employers already utilizing its private exchange, global consulting firm Mercer has been one of the most visible leaders in the emerging private exchange space. Through its active and retiree exchanges, Mercer currently provides benefits to over 280,000 individuals as of March 2014. Earlier in March, the company, which also recently acquired Transition Assist to bolster its retiree exchange offerings, announced a partnership with Silicon Valley’s GetInsured that will bring the Mercer Marketplace exchange brand into an entirely new sector: the individual market. “Most employers don’t have a single, uniform workforce, but a collection of different groups — including part-timers and retirees, each with a very different set of benefit needs,” said Julio A Portalatin, president and chief executive officer, Mercer.
“Now, Mercer Marketplace can meet all of these needs through a single point of access. This expanded reach is part of Mercer’s commitment to ensuring that all Americans have easy access to the best insurance products available on the market today.” This move coincides with a greater trend within the private exchanges to offer a solution that addresses each segment of an employer’s population, including retirees, part-timers and full-time employees — what Cindy Gillespie, senior managing director, Public Policy and Regulatory Affairs practice at McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP, has called the “sorting hat” exchange solution. In the new partnership, GetInsured, a federally approved webbased entity, will provide access to individual medical plans both on and off the public exchanges. The Palo Alto technology company is also a key partner for several state-based health insurance exchanges.
