Mountain Top ViewHeading into our third year of our high deductible health plans, we can unequivocally say that our three fold strategy is working!

• Goal #1: To beat down health care trend to stabilize premium costs for the company and for our employees even in the midst of healthcare reform– Healthcare trend increases for high deductible health plans averages 6 – 8%, PPO

increases range 8 – 12% and HMO increases range from 12 – 15%

• Salient Results: We have averaged a 1.7% increase per year over the three years even when healthcare reform was adding costs into our plans

• 0% increase at 1st anniversary• 5% increase at 2nd anniversary• 0% increase at 3rd anniversary

Page 4: 2014 Employee Benefits  Open Enrollment

Mountain Top View (continued)• Goal #2: Provide an opportunity for our employees to begin saving for

future retiree health expenses using Health Savings Accounts (HSAs)– Salient’s contribution to employees’ HSA accounts is on the “high

side” of industry averages • Average is $500/$1,000• Salient contributes $750/$1,500

• Salient Results:– Employees’ account balances have steadily increased

• PEACE OF MIND – accumulated savings can be built up to offset any potential out-of-pocket expenses in a given year

• SAVINGS FOR THE FUTURE – with the increased account balances, employees are putting money away that can be used for future expenses (retiree healthcare or COBRA)

Page 5: 2014 Employee Benefits  Open Enrollment

Mountain Top View (continued)• Goal #3: Provide high-quality insurance plans which offer

choice along with both short- and long-term protections• Salient Results:

– Salient’s coinsurance after the deductible is met and underlying insurance plan is on the “high” side of industry averages.

• Industry average is 80%/60% ; Salient’s plan is 90%70%• Robust insurance protections

– Adding third medical plan for 2014 to offer additional choice, lower premiums and provide simplicity

• Lowest premiums for employees! Salient is paying an additional 10% towards premiums for the Value Plan

• Once deductible is met, eligible expenses are paid at 100% for remainder of year• As HSA balances have grown, employees have opportunity to “afford” higher

deductible

Page 6: 2014 Employee Benefits  Open Enrollment

6

Ground-level View • It’s all about personal

choice– Adding third medical plan– Raised deductible and

out-of-pocket in Standard Plan with a resulting 7% drop in premium costs

– Adding additional voluntary insurance plans to help protect against deductible expenses

• Engage me!– New wellness program

with easy to use tools– Improved pricing tools

on Cigna site to predict healthcare costs

– Open Enrollment road show

– Concierge benefit enrollment experience
