  3. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  4. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Raleway, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

  6. In 1983, Aultman Hospital President Richard Pryce called in his young personnel director Rick Haines. “Rick, I have a project for you,” said Pryce. “We need to start our own health plan, our own insurance company.” The goal, said Pryce, was to develop a quality plan with low premiums. The premium savings to companies, both agreed, would benefit the community.&lt;/div&gt;
  7. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  8. Haines, who joined Aultman in 1981, had been part of a team working to reduce costs in the hospital. Pryce foresaw Medicare reducing its payments to hospitals, Haines said, and he wanted Aultman to be ahead of Medicare’s cost- reduction curve. This was the first component to starting AultCare.&lt;/div&gt;
  9. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  10. After a year of development, AultCare launched in 1985 with its first member – Aultman Hospital employees. From there, it expanded as an administrator of self-insurance plans for several local businesses. In 1989, AultCare added a fully insured product, mainly to serve small businesses.&lt;/div&gt;
  11. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  12. By 1994, it grew to cover more than 60,000 people. Today, AultCare has more than 2,200 employer members and covers more than 420,000 people, including more than 20,000 PrimeTime Health Plan members who benefit from AultCare’s Medicare Advantage Plan.&lt;/div&gt;
  13. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  14. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  15. Its structure remains the same, said Haines, who is President and CEO of AultCare. “Offer high-quality insurance coverage at an affordable price by capitalizing on Aultman’s low-cost structure and utilizing a local network of high-quality Primary Care and Specialist physicians who are dedicated to the health care of this community.”&lt;/div&gt;
  16. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  17. That structure allowed the goal to be reached, said Haines. “If employers are paying less for health care, they can invest in their companies, they can hire more people,” he said, and that is good for this community. If it is good for this community, it is good for AultCare and Aultman and the local physicians.”&lt;/div&gt;
  18. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  19. The key to reaching the goal was to operate on slim margins when compared to traditional for-profit insurance companies. Since 1989, AultCare’s profit margin has been less than 0.2%, purposely kept low, said Haines, so the savings could remain in the hands of local companies and residents and be used to benefit the local economy.&lt;/div&gt;
  20. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  21. By many measurements, AultCare has been successful. One number in particular – retention rate of members – reflects how the community has embraced the company’s health insurance products. Annually, 95 percent of customers continue with AultCare. The retention rate for national insurance companies hovers around 75 percent. “We have a great insurance company, working with a great hospital and a great group of physicians,” said Haines, “and that is how you keep customers and benefit the community.”&lt;/div&gt;
  22. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  23. Haines says the staff is Ault- Care’s best asset. “AultCare began with a group of dedicated employees and it continues with them,” said Haines. “Our success reflects their hard work. They handle more than $728 million in claims annually, with 99.9 percent accuracy. More than 7,500 calls per week flow into our service centers and that staff treats each one as if a neighbor is calling; after all, we are Stark County’s only local health insurance company, so the caller very well may be their neighbor.”&lt;/div&gt;
  24. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  25. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  26. As the health insurance world changes, AultCare finds itself as the local resource for&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;companies and residents trying to understand health care reform. In 2013, for example, more than 4,000 area people have attended AultCare informational meetings about health care reform.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  27. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
  28. AultCare adapted to the ever-changing health care industry in the 20th century and into the 21st century. It began as a local business and stayed that way by being innovative. It is some- thing that makes all AultCare employees proud. “As the years go by, we will continue to make strategic changes to keep our local business viable,” said Haines, “because we know if we do that it will contribute to the viability of the community in which we all live.”&lt;/div&gt;
  29. &lt;div style=&quot;background-color: transparent; border: 0px; line-height: 26px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

  100. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;AultCare Insurance Company is a Qualified Health Plans issuer in the Federally Facilitated Marketplace (FFM).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;AultCare will offer multiple&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;health insurance choices for individuals when the federal government launches its Health Insurance Marketplace on October 1.The health care reform law expands access to insurance and broadens insurance benefits. Beginning on October 1, 2013, individuals will be able to visit&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.healthcare.gov/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;www.healthcare.gov&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;to view plans and pricing and choose their health insurance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Within that context, however, AultCare’s rates are very competitive. In addition, federal financial assistance will be available to help qualifying individuals and families pay for coverage. Nevertheless, even with assistance, some people will pay more for coverage than they do today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt; Costs will vary depending on the Marketplace plan they choose, plus where they live, their age and whether they qualify for federal assistance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

  263. written in the last few days about a delay in the out-of-pocket maximums for
  264. individuals and families that are part of the health care law, beginning
  265. January 1, 2014.&amp;nbsp; The statutory limit for
  266. all non-grandfathered health plans is governed by the limits of plans tied to
  267. Health Savings Accounts (HSA).&amp;nbsp; These HSA
  268. limits are published annually by the Federal Government and the limits for 2014
  269. will be $6,350 for individual in-network expenses and $12,700 for family
  270. in-network expenses.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  275. &lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
  276. The delay that
  277. the national press has been writing about this week actually emanates from a
  278. Department of Labor (DOL) announcement on February 20, 2013.&amp;nbsp; In that announcement, the DOL gave transition
  279. relief to health plans that have separate vendors for medical coverage and
  280. prescription drug coverage.&amp;nbsp; The
  281. transition relief is intended to provide Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBM),
  282. Insurers, and Employer Health plans time to integrate the data transfers
  283. required to implement a single out-of-pocket maximum for individuals and
  284. families across different technology platforms.&amp;nbsp;
  285. &lt;i&gt;Those plans affected by the transition relief must comply beginning
  286. January 1, 2015.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

  293. &lt;b&gt;For those plans
  294. health plans with a single vendor, such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://aultcare.com/&quot;&gt;AultCare’s&lt;/a&gt; Insured Plans and most of
  295. our self-insured plans, the out-of-pocket maximum will be integrated in 2014
  296. for both the health plan and the pharmacy benefit to the limits of $6,350 for
  297. Individuals and $12,700 for Families.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
