The Anthem Traditional Plan renewal first came in at 13.8%, then 5.0% and then 3.2%!Our group makes much greater use of Office Co-Pays and Prescription Drug plans. We know this because only 13 of our 44 members reached deductibles in plan year 2009-2010.Our Office Co-Pay will go down from $25 to $20Our Prescription Drug Plan will go down, as you can see, from…In order to do this and keep our premium increases under 5%, however, our Deductibles and Out of Pocket Maximums, go up – bringing us in line with other small employers nationwide.Our medical plan will move from Anthem 3.0 to Anthem 4.0. Industry trends have changed the way insurance companies do business. As such, they are encouraging stronger consumer driven behaviors of their members – including greater discretion in the use of Emergency Rooms and Urgent Care. Those visits will be more expensive. In addition, Prescription Drug plans have changed to include Mandatory Generics, except with an override from a physician indicating “Dispense as Written” (DAW).We are already pretty good at keeping our ER and Urgent Care use to a minimum and making good use of generics, but these changes may help us get even better.
