PRODUCT DESIGNS

HISC will offer Basic Plans that are

competitive on benefits and premium

to United and Humana

No “Low Cost” option to compete with

Humana and United’s Plans

2013 Issue or Competitive Deficiency

2014 PDP Plan Solution

Value Plans are not competitive in

terms of premium

For 2014 there will be an inexpensive

Basic offering and the Value Plans will

be about $2 cheaper per month with

better benefits than 2013

Robust offering of Tier 1 generics and

deductible only counting on Tiers 3-5,

were not as beneficial as anticipated

Members will save at least $5 per 30

day on Tiers 1-4 at CVS,

Wal-Mart/Sam’s Club, a local grocer

and an independent pharmacy group

Opportunity for members to fill

prescriptions at a preferred pharmacy

for a discount

The Basic offerings have a deductible

on all tiers and Value/Plus Plans have

narrower Tier 1 formulary; similar to

competitors offerings

(15)

• The preferred network option has no impact on whether a member can fill at any of the

63,000+ network pharmacies nationwide

• Members can save at least $5 per 30 day fill on all three PDP Plans, if they fill at a

preferred pharmacy versus any other network pharmacy

• Tier 1 & 2 drugs on all three PDP Plans can be obtained for $2 or less at a preferred

pharmacy during the initial coverage period (OK is $4 or less on the Basic Plan)
