· Discuss Alternate Health Insurance Plan Eligibility

Resolution 2009-1005

Mr. Votava went through the previous legislative authority on who qualified for the alternate plan as follows:

Alternate Plan Eligibility History
Original Alternate Plan Eligibility (1/1/07)
Plan limited to those employees and spouses who are specifically excluded from eligibility for health
savings account contributions by federal regulations. (Employees on Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and employees enrolled in a spouse’s non-high deductible plan were enrolled. Elected Officials who were in-term were also enrolled.)

Revised Alternate Plan Eligibility (1/1/08)
Plan is limited to 1) in-term elected officials; 2) employees who are already enrolled in Medicare; and 3) employees who are enrolled in Tricare.
The effect of this change was to exclude individuals who chose to double cover themselves on a spouse’s non-high deductible plan design.

Revised Alternate Plan Eligibility (1/1/09)
No legislative changes were made.
All remaining elected officials were moved to the premium plan. No elected officials were considered “in-term” under the 2008 rule.

He then presented the proposed changed for plan year 2010 as follows:

Proposed Alternate Plan Eligibility 1/1/10
The Alternate plan is limited to those elected officials and employees (hereinafter referred to as employees) who 1) are enrolled on the Alternate plan on 12/31/2009 and that continue to be enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare during the 2010 plan year; 2) become enrolled in Tricare or Medicaid during the plan year and continue to be enrolled in Tricare or Medicaid throughout the 2010 plan year; and 3) are enrolled in Medicare prior to initial health insurance eligibility and that continue to be enrolled in Medicare throughout the 2010 plan year. In all cases, the employee must remain enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid or Tricare to remain eligible for the Alternate Plan. Employees who elect to double cover themselves on a spouse’s non-high deductible health plan shall not be eligible for the Alternate plan.

Should the employee cease enrollment in Medicare, Medicaid, or Tricare during the plan year, the employee shall be transferred to the Premium plan and receive a monthly pro-rated share of the employer’s annual health savings account contribution. The monthly pro-rated share shall be calculated by using the following formula: (annual employer health savings account contribution (Single = $720 or Family = $1920)*(the number of full months remaining in the plan year/12).

Should the employee become enrolled in Medicare during the 2010 plan year while on the Premium plan, the employee will not become eligible for the Alternate plan until properly enrolling in the 2011 plan year during open enrollment. Should the employee so elect, he or she may remain on the Premium plan for the remainder of the 2010 plan year. Subject to IRS regulations, the employee may have taxable income depending upon the contribution level to the health savings account and the time of the year in which enrollment occurs.
