HRA (or “RRA”) Design and Strategy Considerations

Retiree Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) Strategy Development

HRA strategies are typically designed to balance the following:

– Plan sponsor cost management objectives leveraging individual market efficiencies

– Equity among participant groups, relative to the current group structure

– Participant flexibility

– Encouragement of consumerism

– Ease of participant understanding and use

– Administrative simplicity

There are four main elements of HRA design:

HRA Design Element Description

1) Subsidy Level Extent to which the subsidy is preserved or reduced relative to current

2) Subsidy Calibration The number of unique “subsidy cells” required to support key objectives

3) Subsidy Delivery The manner in which the subsidy is provided to the participant for use

4) Subsidy Rules Outlines the subsidy protocols, uses, and potential limitations

Why Provide a Catastrophic Rx HRA?

Protecting the Most Financially Vulnerable Members

Individual market-based Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage represents the main area of

financial exposure for members moving to the individual health care market from the group program

– All Medicare Advantage plans provide a medical out-of-pocket maximum and Medigap Plan F

covers all Medicare medical program cost-sharing – so members in the individual market are

able to protect themselves financially from catastrophic medical claims

Medicare Part D plans do not provide an out-of-pocket maximum, and generally provide at

most a 95% coinsurance benefit for claims in the catastrophic coverage phase

– Members with significant prescription drug claims generally have more financial exposure in the

individual market relative to their current group program when and if they experience catastrophic

drug claims (e.g., specialty claims)

– For example, if a member incurs a $100,000 drug claim during the catastrophic coverage phase of

the Part D plan, the member would generally be required to pay $5,000 out-of-pocket for this one

claim, as opposed to a nominal copay if current Rx benefits do not have a “donut hole”

Plan sponsors can protect members using a contingent “catastrophic Rx HRA” that funds all

or a portion of the required 5% member cost-sharing during the catastrophic coverage phase

– Creates a prescription drug “out-of-pocket maximum” at a member-friendly level

– Plan sponsors might want to start the contingent coverage at some point after the catastrophic

coverage phase begins (e.g., after $500 is spent out-of-pocket) in order to focus on members with

material cost exposure and avoid nominal reimbursements for “rank and file” claims
