Revolution Health Plans: Fortress Series
TO BEST UNDERSTAND STRATEGIES FOR ACA COMPLIANCE IN
NUMEROUS SCENARIOS, LET’S FIRST REVIEW SOME DEFINITIONS IN
TERMS WE CAN ALL UNDERSTAND:
MINIMUM ESSENTIAL COVERAGE (MEC) - Any employer-sponsored
qualified health and welfare benefit for employees and their dependents. The lowest
common denominator for this type of coverage is a “Preventive Only Plan,” which
provides only the most minimum mandated benefit.
VALUABLE COVERAGE OR MINIMUM VALUE PLAN (MVP) - MEC that
expects to pay at least 60% of the cost of covered benefits after deductibles, co-
payments and other cost sharing by employees (and covers most traditional
benefits). Please see NHMVP below and ask your benefit professional for more
detail.
AFFORDABLE COVERAGE - Employer-sponsored coverage, where the employee
contribution for self-only MVP coverage meets certain criteria. To qualify as
Valuable and Affordable, the employee contribution for self-only coverage of the
least expensive MVP offered cannot exceed a certain percentage of the employee’s
wages.
NON-HOSPITAL NON-PHYSICIAN SERVICES MINIMUM VALUE PLAN
(NHMVP) - This term describes a program that meets the 60% actuarial value
rule for valuable coverage, but does not provide substantial coverage for hospital
or physician services. In many situations, these plans play a valuable role in an
employer’s compliance strategy; however, the mere offer of such a plan does not
satisfy all employer mandated provisions. See the Concord II Plan in this brochure
for an example.
NOW CONSIDER THE MANY PROBLEM SOLVING STRATEGIES!
The Fortress Plans target offerings from the most basic MEC Preventive Care Only to a
NHMVP to MVPs. These can be offered in conjunction with any of our more traditional
plans in the Patriot, Fleet, and Freedom Series, all at a price employers can afford to
sponsor. In many of our combined strategies, employers are better able to afford full
compliance to absolve themselves of Part A or Part B penalties under PPACA. This is
often of critical importance.
