2015 BlueKC Renewal
The Modified Cost Plus contract is comprised of Fixed Fees, which include
Administrative Fees, Stop Loss Fees, and Excise Tax (which applies to the Stop
Loss Fee). The combined increase equates to +15%.
Administrative Fees: +3%
Stop Loss: +40%
ACA Excise Tax: 2.4%
As we analyze the stop loss component of the overall fees, it is important to look at
historical plan performance:

BlueKC 2015 Renewal (cont.)
The second component of the Modified Cost Plus contract is Maximum Claim
Liability Factors/Aggregate Stop Loss Limits.
Using claims through January, BlueKC initially proposed an increase of +16.7%.
Based on Lockton’s underwriting, as well as updated claims through February,
we were able to negotiate the increase to +10%.
To maintain compliance with ACA requirements, Prescription Drug copays will
apply towards the Out-of-Pocket Maximum effective 1/1/2015. To account for
this, BlueKC has proposed an increase to the Out-of-Pocket maximums on the
Standard and Premier plans:
Standard: From $3,000/$6,000 to $3,900/$7,800
Premier: From $2,000/$4,000 to $3,000/$6,000
Should MCC wish to keep the Out-of-Pocket maximums the same in 2015, the
Maximum Claim Factors would increase by an additional +1.55% to the Premier &
Standard plans.
14. 13
Prescription Drug Analysis
If MCC maintains the current Out-of-Pocket Maximum (OOPM),
Average savings for members meeting OOPM
Premier: $716 Per Member Per Year (PMPY)
Standard: $940 PMPY
If MCC implements the proposed OOPM,
Percentage of members who would be paying more:
Premier: 9.4% (49 members) paying on average $76.50 more PMPY
Standard: 10.9% (47 members) paying on average $82.75 more PMPY

Lockton’s 2015 Renewal Analysis
In an effort to mitigate the increase, Lockton requested alternative specific
deductible quotes, as higher deductibles yield lower specific premium rates.
Based on the Monte Carlo simulation, MCC ‘wins’ 88% of the time at the current
$200,000 specific deductible.

Stop Loss Background
Self-insured (or quasi self-insured) clients who want to mitigate risks due to
large or unanticipated claims purchase stop loss coverage through their claims
administrator or from a third-party carrier.
Under the BlueKC Cost Plus arrangements, customers are required to purchase stop loss
through BlueKC; Only under a true Administrative Service Only (ASO) agreement is
carving out the stop loss permissible.
Stop Loss Products:
Individual/Specific Stop Loss
Coverage per member in excess of a set threshold
Lockton performs Monte Carlo analysis, which is an actuarial tool, to better determine the
appropriate threshold.
Aggregate Stop Loss
Coverage for total claim spend above a corridor (e.g. 125% over expected claims)
30. 29
Individual/Specific Stop Loss
Protects from catastrophic large claims on an individual member basis.
Once claims for any covered member exceed the set threshold, all eligible
claims over this amount during the policy period are reimbursed
Under the BlueKC Cost Plus Arrangement, customers benefit from improved cash flow,
as BlueKC starts paying claims in excess of the specific deductible (vs. the client paying
then getting reimbursed)

exceed these, the Employer would be reimbursed the excess.
