• CEBCO
• Custom Design Benefits (Traditional self-funding quote and TruCost)
• Humana (incumbent)
• Medical Mutual of Ohio (MMO)
• Unitedhealthcare (UHC)

carrier nuances we have narrowed our focus to Humana and UHC.

UHC Strategies and Further Evaluation
10
Several items we are further evaluating with UHC:
PBM Carve Out Pharmacy
• UHC has the ability to carve out specific pharmacies that are typically higher cost. Designating CVS as
out-of-network pharmacy can actually save approximately 3-4% to Rx claims (~$99k).
UHC Plan Changes – Tiering Benefits
• UHC can offer tiered benefits to drive members to their preferred providers. HORAN worked with
UHC on the benefits structure and savings to claims which are expected to be approximately 2%
depending on the final plan structure (~$225k).
– Typically 35% of physicians are designated Tier 1
UHC Wellness Opportunities
• UHC offers a program called Real Appeal which focuses on weight loss. The programs typically gets
good traction within groups and any cost associated with the program is paid as a preventive claim so
may work within Clermont County guidelines.

Plan Design & Other Strategies
11
Plan Design
• HORAN is evaluating several other plan design changes with The HR Team and HCAC to drive better
utilization and further reduce the renewal.
• Health Savings Account employer contributions
• A few modest plan changes we can possibly reduce the renewal to single digits.
Musculoskeletal Spend
• 2016 utilization showed a 46% increase in musculoskeletal spend accounting for a total of $1,660,000.
• Possibly looking to bring awareness to a local physician practice called Airrosti who has had third
parties conduct analysis showing less costs per episode of care than the norm.

Dental Renewal and RFP
12
Dental Care Plus (DCP) Administration: HORAN negotiated a $1.00 pepm reduction, ($9,900).
HORAN developed a renewal projection using 24 months of Clermont County data. Overall
costs are expected to remain flat:
2017 Annual 2018 Annual % Change $ Change
Total Costs $498,433 $488,580 -0.2% ($9,853)

2018 Dental Request for Proposal
13
HORAN conducted a full market bid receiving quotes from the following carriers:
• Anthem
• Dental Care Plus (incumbent)
• Delta Dental
• Lincoln Financial Group
• MetLife
HORAN has met on several occasions with the HR Team and the Healthcare Advisory
Committee. After evaluating final quotes and network access we decided to narrow our focus
to DCP and MetLife.

2018 DCP vs MetLife Cost / Network
14
MetLife quoted a fully insured quote (currently self-funded). While MetLife can offer a
savings to the dental plans there will be large disruption to the dentists currently utilized.
DCP and MetLife both confirmed the two providers cannot both be offered.
Carrier $ Change % Change % Provider Match
MetLife (-$42,033) -8.5% 42%

purchases to name a few of the differences.
