    IU Health Plans Leaving Health Insurance Marketplace

    Indiana

    IU Health PlansA letter was sent to brokers, agents, and navigators  regarding the IU Health Plans that were offered during 2016 in the state of Indiana. It is sad day as many Indiana residents will lose their ON-Exchange Marketplace / Obamacare coverage on 12/31/2016. Here are some of the Key Points:

    IU Health Plans Exit Exchange

    “As an important partner with Indiana University Health Plans we’ve promised you transparency, so we want to ensure you are among the first to know about an important and unexpected change we’re making to our Marketplace strategy for 2017.

    In light of impending regulatory deadlines and continued volatility in the Marketplace, an organizational decision was made to change the IU Health Plans level of participation in Indiana’s Marketplace. Effective for 2017 coverage, we will only be offering plans off-exchange, so consumers will only be able to enroll directly through IU Health Plans website to receive coverage. This shift will allow us to re-assess Marketplace dynamics and consider federal response to competitor withdrawals.” Allie Billows

    Indiana Residents should know

    • IU Health Plans Marketplace insurance coverage will still be available in 62 counties in Indiana off-exchange
    • Bronze, silver, and gold member plans will be available
    • Consumers will not be able to enroll in IU Health Plans coverage through www.Healthcare.gov
    • Medicare Advantage and Commercial coverage will still be available through IU Health Plans and Medicaid coverage will be available through MDwise

    PHP Indian Leaves Obamacare

    “We are disappointed that we are forced to make this difficult decision,” stated Michael Cahill, President and CEO of PHP, “but we have to keep in mind that we do have a responsibility to the community and the beneficiaries we serve, as a not for profit health insurer. We are committed to supporting our communities over the long term, yet believe that withdrawing from the market and refocusing our efforts on group insurance coverage and administrative health insurance services is a better use of PHP resources. By withdrawing from the individual market today, PHP can redirect the millions of dollars in losses we would incur and invest that money in areas with greater potential outcomes while continuing our mission with our beneficiaries who have relied on us since our founding in 1983.”

    A PHP press release states it remains extremely well capitalized and on solid financial ground. However, Three Critical Factors of the Individual Product Decision In 2016, for every premium dollar received, PHP of Indiana estimates it will pay $1.20 for medical expenses. PHP estimate this number would increase to $1.36 in 2017. This loss in premium does not begin to cover operating costs or overhead. The deficiency is attributed to three factors:

    • The Risk Adjustment Program, which was intended to move monies between health insurers based on the relative cost of the populations  attracted. It did not take many measures into account and was not designed for the commercial Indiana insurance marketplace.
    • The Risk Corridor Program, put in place to keep premiums down and make products affordable in the early years, was ultimately not funded by Congress leaving most insurers with large, unexpected medical costs.
    • Adverse selection due to certain anomalies between federal mandates and state mandates for Indiana health insurance has left some insurers, including PHP, unprotected in several areas.
