Transparency
Technology
Enablement
PEPM
Effective January 1, 2022, self-funded health plans are subject to seven
new transparency-related federal regulatory requirements. At a high-
level these include; an advanced EOB, balanced billing protection, new
ID cards design and fulfillment of a single issuance of new cards,
publically available machine-readable files for the medical plan and HMA
preferred PBMs, a consumer price comparison tool, new compliance
reporting, and new provider directory requirements. Additional
transparency-related requirements are slated for 2023 and 2024. These
new requirements represent a massive technology lift and investment.
We are passing through only a portion of the real costs of delivering on
these new requirements. We will comply with the portions of the new
regulations that apply to the products and services covered under our
contracts.

Stop Loss Services
In compensation for the work HMA does to support stop loss carriers, HMA requires a payment either directly from
our preferred stop loss carrier partner, Managing General Underwriter (MGU), General Agent (GA), Captive or client.
Preferred stop loss carriers pay an administrative allowance to HMA for the support and services as part of the
override agreements. If you are using a non-preferred carrier, MGU, GA or Captive there will be a stop loss service
support fee of 3% of stop loss premiums assessed. The stop loss service support fee will be reflected on the invoice
as a PEPM.

Please note, if the client changes stop loss carriers or desires to implement a third party service
during the course of this renewal term which is not currently included in our preferred carrier list,
notification is required to HMA. HMA reserves the right to decline to work with non-preferred stop
loss carriers, MGU’s, GA’s or Captives. If we agree to administer a plan with a stop loss carrier, MGU,
GA or Captive that is not preferred, we will charge an interface fee of 3.0% of stop loss premium and
will ask for a signed waiver of liability from the group. For carriers where we are not an approved
benefit administrator, HMA reserves the right to decline to proceed with the approval process at our
discretion.
The interface fee for non-preferred carriers is calculated based on the final stop loss renewal premium rates and
enrollment for the last month of the prior contract period.
The rates are calculated as follows:
[.03 x (single Specific Stop Loss Premium Rate x single enrollment) + (family Specific Stop Loss Premium Rate x
family enrollment) + (Aggregate Stop Loss Premium Rate x total enrollment)] / Total Enrollment
I’ve read and accept the above terms regarding Excess Loss Services.
