The Transitional Reinsurance Program – Reinsurance Contributions (RIC)

Who Makes Contributions in 2015?

Contributing entities are required to make contributions to fund the reinsurance program.

Contributing entities include:

• Health insurance issuers
• Self-insured group health plans
• Group health plans with a self-insured coverage option and an insured coverage option
• Multiple group health plans, including an insured plan, that are maintained by the same plan sponsor, that collectively provide major medical coverage for the same covered lives simultaneously
• Multiple group health plans, not including an insured plan, that are maintained by the same plan sponsor, that collectively provide major medical coverage for the same covered lives simultaneously

Although a contributing entity is responsible for the reinsurance contribution, it may use a TPA or ASO contractor to support the reinsurance contribution process.

Payment Options

The 2015 Reinsurance Contribution Rate is $44.00 per covered life.
Contributions can be made:

• In one lump sum of $44 per covered life
• In a two-part payment of $33 per covered life (first payment, due immediately) and $11 per covered life (second payment, due by November 15, 2016)
