Notes de l'éditeur
Riverside has confirmed that all plan designs comply with required benefits according to the Affordable Care Act as well as ensuring that our plans meet the affordability standard (cannot exceed 9.5% of employees pay).
Vision increases very minimal = 9 cents for single... 24 cents for family.
Good news- first two bullets
Explain specialty drugs – typically high cost unique drugs requiring special dispensing conditions. See the drug list available on the enrollment site, RiverNet or Humana.com for details. The employee will have more of a cost share for these specialty meds.
