Adjusts general fund support for state health insurance premiums based on a lower than expected increase in health insurance costs. The general fund savings in the first year reflect the actual health insurance premiums from 2014. The general fund savings in the second year are based on the actuary's projected increase of 2.9 percent in health insurance costs, which is lower than the projected increase of 6.9 percent funded in Chapter 2, 2014 Special Session 1. Changes to health insurance benefits in the second year include the implementation of an online enhancement to telemedicine to allow members to speak with a licensed physician, coverage for routine hearing exams, and a reduction in co-pays for physical therapy to $15. Cash balances from the Department of Human Resource Management's Special Fund and Administration of Health Insurance's reserve balance to the State Health Insurance Fund were also assumed in the general fund savings in the second year. |

This amendment corrects a savings strategy for the Department of Health that was intended to transfer nongeneral fund cash from agency indirect cost recoveries to the general fund. However, the action was included in Item 471.10 of the introduced budget as a reduction in general fund appropriation. This amendment removes the $600,000 general fund appropriation reduction and a companion amendment to §3-1.01 adds the $600,000 nongeneral fund cash transfer to the general fund. The combination of actions included in these two amendments sums to zero. |

This language amendment prohibits the Department of Human Resource Management from increasing the annual out-of-pocket maximum deductible by $75/$150/$150 for Single/Dual/Family coverage and by $1,000/$2,000/$2,000 for Single/Dual/Family coverage. The deductible increases were proposed in the 2015 Budget Bill to address the impact of the Affordable Care Act’s requirement to include medical costs and prescription drugs in the out-of-pocket maximum. |
