BlueCard Program in SECTION VIII: COMPENSATION is deleted and replaced by thefollowing:BlueCard ProgramLike all Blue Cross and Blue Shield Licensees, Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health InsuranceCompany (“Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health”) participates in a program called “BlueCard”.Whenever Beneficiaries access health care services outside the geographic area Anthem Blue CrossLife and Health serves, the claim for those services may be processed through BlueCard andpresented to Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health for payment in conformity with network access rulesof the BlueCard Policies then in effect (“Policies”). Under BlueCard, when beneficiaries receivecovered health care services within the geographic area served by an on-site Blue Cross and/or BlueShield Licensee (“Host Blue”), Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health will remain responsible to MCSIGfor fulfilling its contract obligations. However, the Host Blue will only be responsible, in accordancewith applicable BlueCard Policies, if any, for providing such services as contracting with itsparticipating providers and handling all interactions with its participating providers.Liability Calculation Method Per ClaimThe financial terms of BlueCard are described in the benefit booklet that is incorporated by referenceinto Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health’s contract with MCSIG. However, the calculation of MCSIG’sliability on claims for covered health care services incurred outside the geographic area Anthem BlueCross Life and Health serves and processed through BlueCard will be based on the negotiated priceAnthem Blue Cross Life and Health pays the Host Blue. The methods employed by a Host Blue todetermine a negotiated price will vary among Host Blues based on the terms of each Host Blue’sprovider contracts.The amount paid by the employee and MCSIG is a final price and will not be affected by BlueCard’spractice of prospective adjustment. In addition, the use of a liability calculation method of EstimatedPrice or Average Price (see benefit booklet) may result in some portion of the amount paid by MCSIGbeing held in a variance account by the Host Blue, pending settlement with its participating providers.Because all amounts paid are final, the funds held in a variance account, if any, do not belong toMCSIG and are eventually exhausted by provider settlements and through prospective adjustment tothe negotiated prices.Return of OverpaymentsUnder BlueCard, recoveries from a Host Blue or from participating providers of a Host Blue can arisein several ways, including, but not limited to, anti-fraud and abuse audits, provider/hospital audits,credit balance audits, utilization review refunds and unsolicited refunds. In some cases, the Host18449.TRI-1.A6 09/19/20113ASO89CA Local

Report from the Executive Director to the MCSIG Executive Committee at the Meetingof July 17, 2012.Subject:Consider 2 nd Annual TelaDoc Utilization ReportBackgroundAt their September 2009 meeting, the Full Board voted to add the TelaDoc benefit to theself-funded medical coverage program effective January 1, 2010.The TelaDoc benefit was added as a convenience for our members and as a strategy toreduce inappropriate use of expensive emergency rooms for primary care treatment.TelaDoc estimated that with adoption of the $10 employee co-pay level, MCSIG would reacha break-even point against the program costs at the 5% re-direct level. TelaDoc furtherestimated that in the first year of the program we would achieve a 10% re-direct level, anestimated annual savings of approximately $187,230. These estimates were based onTelaDoc’s experience with similarly sized clients.Member experience with the TelaDoc program has been resoundingly positive.DiscussionIn February 2011, staff presented the Committee with a utilization report for the first twelvemonths of the program. Although we did not achieve a 5% re-direct level in the first twelvemonthsof the program, the Committee, based on a marketing plan, voted to continue theprogram to see if the program ROI improved.The marketing program executed throughout 2011 included the following:• Keenan printed refrigerator magnets containing contact numbers for all of the MCSIGprograms. Those magnets were distributed to the participants.• Second-year marketing efforts included:o Member testimonials and how-to-access articles in the MCSIG newslettero Direct TelaDoc mailings to members (four quarterly postcards over the courseof the second year)o Another MHD contestIn addition, TelaDoc:o Reduced the pepm fee to $1.00 (down from $1.50)o Placed a portion of their pepm fee at risk as part of a re-direct level guaranteein conjunction with a member <strong>com</strong>munication planKeith Brown from Keenan & Associates will present a 2.5 year ROI analysis (attached) attoday’s meeting.Re<strong>com</strong>mendationThat the Committee receive the 2.5 ROI analysis and provide direction to the ExecutiveDirector.196

Report from the Executive Director to the MCSIG Executive Committee at the Meeting of August21, 2012.Subject:Consider Minimum Medical Coverage Policy (MMCP)BackgroundMCSIG’s MMCP (attached) provides, generally, that all benefit eligible employees employed by a MCSIGmember district are required to be enrolled in a MCSIG medical plan. All member districts define theircovered groups under MCSIG and establish their own benefit eligibility rules.The MCSIG Board adopted the MMCP on November 27, 2001. Prior to adoption of the 2001policy, MCSIG’s general rule and practice was that if a district provided fully paid medicalbenefits, all eligible employees had to be enrolled in a medical plan. The 2001 policy adoptionwas in response to a concern about district <strong>com</strong>pliance with the general rule and practice,particularly in light of some districts capping their health or flexible benefit contributions. Thepolicy was implemented to avoid adverse selection and insure the long term stability of the JPA.The MCSIG Executive Committee has reviewed the MMCP several times since 2001, with the latestrevision in 2006 pertaining to district board members.A 2002 revision clarified that the MMCP does apply to all member school district board members if thedistrict has designated board members as a covered group. In 2006 the policy was revised to provide anexception to the MMCP for school district board members that are covered under Medicare and who haveother medical/pharmacy retirement coverage that integrates with Medicare Part D and if taking MCSIGcoverage would require them to drop their other medical/pharmacy retirement plan. (Note: Under Federallaw, Medicare participants may only be covered under one medical plan that provides Medicare Part Dcoverage).The MMCP provides a mechanism for member school districts to escape the provisions of the MMCP as itapplies to their school board members by adopting a resolution, policy or bylaw provision stating that thedistrict does not provide (pay for) medical coverage for school board members. In this case school boardmembers would not be allowed to enroll in a MCSIG medical plan unless the policy also provided that thedistrict allows individual school district board members to participate in a medical plan at each boardmember’s own discretion and at each board member’s own expense.Application of the MMCP to district board members came up in again in 2008 when the retiree eligibilityrules were modified to allow retirees taking a board position in another district that provides coverage, todrop their former employer coverage temporarily while they enroll in their board member coverage.As a practical matter if a board member currently has other coverage from their employer, that employercoverage is prime and MCSIG is secondary (as per Coordination of Benefit rules).DiscussionThe MCSIG President requested this item be placed on the agenda.In past Executive Committee discussions concerning applicability of the MMCP to district board members,1106


various factors have been put forth to justify a blanket exception to the MMCP for district board membersincluding the following:Board members are a unique class of member.They are not employees and may hold benefited employment elsewhere or be retired with othermedical coverage (e.g. Tricare, self-employment coverage).Forcing MCSIG medical coverage upon these individuals may interfere with their other coverageand/or may present <strong>com</strong>plications of primary/secondary coverage rules (e.g. other plan may viewboard member status as ‘employment’ and thus consider MCSIG primary coverage whenindividual may not want MCSIG to be primary coverage).A blanket exception to the MMCP for district board members has heretofore not been adopted; primarilydue to concerns expressed from union members as follows: There is no exception to the MMCP for non-board member employees to whom some of theabove cited factors may apply MCSIG has a long standing past practice of treating all participants the same without regard totheir employment status The MMCP already provides a mechanism for districts to escape the MMCP for their district boardmembersRe<strong>com</strong>mendationThat the Executive Committee discuss this issue and provide direction to the Executive Director.2107
