Health Care Exchanges and Health Care Reform 2011 Data

Health Care Exchanges and Health Care Reform


The Patient Protection and Affordable Act, passed in 2010, has the potential to significantly impact both health insurance carriers and producers who sell individual or group health products. During June and July 2011, LIMRA surveyed employee benefits producers regarding their knowledge and opinions of health insurance reform, health care exchanges, and the impact of reform on the sales of health insurance and other products. The findings reported here are based on the responses of 263 members of LIMRAs Group Producer Panel. Responding producers who work in the microemployer market (fewer than 10 employees) are more likely to sell individual products in the small business and individual retail market as compared with those who sell in the large employer market (100 or more employees). Producers in the large employer market are more likely to sell individual products at the worksite. Nine in 10 producers expect health insurance reform to be implemented, with 8 in 10 indicating that it will be implemented in a reduced form. Most of the producers are knowledgeable about the features of health care reform. Seven in 10 producers are knowledgeable about the timeline and the provisions regarding employer requirements for health insurance. Just over half the producers are knowledgeable about the provisions regarding insurance carrier requirements and the provisions regarding individual requirements for health insurance. Producers believe that health care reform will have a negative impact on the industry and on their own business with regard to selling both group and individual medical insurance. The majority of producers are neutral about the impact health care reform will have on selling other products. Seven in 10 producers are somewhat or very interested in becoming health care exchange navigators professionals who help individuals buy insurance through the health care exchange; however, only one fourth are knowledgeable about the role of navigators in the health care exchanges. Of producers interested in becoming navigators, most are interested in both the individual and small business exchange markets. Of note is that fewer than 1 in 5 producers are currently involved in their state committees/consultation groups that deal with the health care exchanges. Half the producers are knowledgeable about the health care exchange timeline and slightly fewer (4 in 10) are knowledgeable about health care exchange eligibility rules and the requirements for individual and small business markets. The producers are least knowledgeable about the compensation options for navigators, where 7 in 10 producers are not knowledgeable. Despite this lack of knowledge, the producers do believe that health care reform will have a negative impact on broker/producer/agent compensation, and those who are not interested in becoming navigators indicate that the compensation structure is unsatisfactory. The majority of producers mentioned compensation when asked, What will encourage you to work at the state health care exchange?

Health Care Exchanges and Health Care Reform 2011 Data

Adopting a new compensation plan would be the most difficult state-specific procedure for working at the exchanges, according to one third of the producers. Nearly half the producers do not think the health care exchanges will compensate navigators fairly and slightly more than half the producers are unsure whether they will. The majority of producers believe that insurance carriers, producer/broker professional associations or the state exchange regulator should be helping agents/brokers prepare to work for the state health exchanges. The producers prefer seminars/group training (77 percent) and are slightly less likely to prefer online training (60 percent) or in-person training (56 percent) to prepare them to work for the state health care exchanges. Half of producers say they are likely to expand into voluntary benefits as a result of health care reform. Other likely steps include expanding customer service to include diversified counseling and advising and expanding services to small companies by helping them with insurance or retirement plans. Most producers do not plan to stop selling medical insurance, although they are slightly more likely to stop selling individual medical. The steps producers are least likely to take are to reduce customer service or expand into new financial services such as investment planning. Two thirds of the producers expect their product mixes to change over the next three to five years, with most of them planning to add rather than eliminate products. The most common products the producers expect to add are critical illness and long-term care insurance. The producers also expect that one third of their clients, on average, will switch to the health care exchanges.

The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act established state-run health care exchanges for eligible individuals and small businesses to obtain medical coverage. The health care exchanges have legislative provisions for navigators professionals to help individuals buy insurance products through the health care exchange.
