Description: 1332 State Innovation Waivers have been in place for a number of years and allow states to implement programs that increase access and affordability of health care coverage. While nearly all waiver programs in effect in 2021 employ a reinsurance program, a number of states have been exploring other ways to structure a waiver program, including an introduction of a public plan option in ACA individual market. A public option plan aims to further increase access to coverage and affordability by offering a new qualified health plan, typically with a lower premium relative to existing plans. Wakely looked at states where a new issuer entered a market as a low cost plan, to better understand plan enrollment migration (how many members switch to the low cost carrier), competitors’ reactions, and the reduction in premium needed to incentivize members to take up coverage. This market dynamic closely mimics the effect of a public option plan that offers lower premiums. The analysis showed mixed effects of a low cost plan introduction in ACA markets, with minimal impact on the uninsured, but with improved affordability, particularly for the unsubsidized. Find out more about detailed observations from this analysis. After the session, you will be able to: •Understand the implications lower cost/public option plans have on market enrollment (subsidized and unsubsidized), number of uninsured, plan metal mix changes, premiums (gross and net of subsidies), and issuers’ profitability in the individual market. •Discuss considerations around introducing new lost cost plans, whether in the form of new commercial carriers or a public option plan, to an area.
