What is the new Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC) Plan?
The
new AHCA/NCAL Insurance Solutions plan was developed by Compass Total
Benefit Solutions and offers AHCA/NCAL members two new
affordable options for providing many of the health insurance benefits
that are important to long term care employees. The new plans feature
affordable premiums and co-pays for valued and commonly used services.
The Compass 1 Plan costs about $1 per hour
for a full-time employee or $161 per month. Employers may pay all,
part or none of the monthly premiums. A second plan (Compass 2) has
higher hospital indemnity payments and is available for $182 per
month.
The
MEC plans were designed to help long term care employees who cannot
afford Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant plan premiums or the high
deductibles associated with many ACA
plans. Even though traditional ACA compliant plans are classified as
“affordable,” they are not an option that many long term care employees
can afford. These MEC plans give employees affordable access to
commonly needed and utilized health benefits at an
affordable price with no deductibles and low copays. Spouse, children
and family plan options are also available.

In the long term
care sector, the MEC plans are available to AHCA/NCAL member facilities
only as a member benefit because of the exclusive low monthly premiums.
