Tomorrow I have my first employee meeting with busting up a small group health plan for 2014. This is the 1st of 11 small groups.
The current group has 27 on the plan and 8 of the key guys. Current cost of the plan is $150 a year and owner is paying $120K of it.
The 8 managers will not qualify for subsidies. Estimated cost increase for an non exchange plan is $200-$300 a month. Owner is going to give the 8 people raises to some what cover the cost. Total he is looking at about $20k in increase payroll.
The owner is going to save about $100K or so by dropping.
The majority of the employee will benefit from subsidies.
As I am writing this I had my 2nd group call and say they were also ready to drop. This is a 10 life group that is laying out $85k a year on group and the owner is picking up $65K. This group is electing the HRA approach. So they end up saving $42K.
I may be breaking up groups but I am picking up a lot of individual sales. Off and on The exchange.
