Fiscal Note

HB0076 - High Deductible Health Plan Option for Public Employees

State Impact:
It is assumed that the new health plan that this bill requires Public Employees Health Program (PEHP) to offer will be designed to be cost-neutral to the State. Public Employees Health Program’s costs during the first year following enactment of this bill are estimated to total $40,000 for computer programming, on-line and printed consumer information, and general administration of the new health plan. Thereafter, annual costs for general administration and maintenance of the plan will be covered through the premiums collected.

Individual and Business Impact:
Any fiscal impact will be dependent on the options chosen by individual participants.
