The consultant fee will be invoiced by Wellmark pursuant to agreement between Wellmark, Employer and Consultant. Wellmark is not providing any legal or professional advice with regard to compliance of any federal or state law, regulations, or guidance. Law, regulations and guidance on specific provisions has been and will continue to be provided by the appropriate federal and state agencies and regulators. The information provided reflects Wellmark's understanding of the most current information and is subject to change without further notice. Please note that plan benefits, rates, renewal rate adjustments, and rating impact calculations are subject to change and may be revised during a plan's rating period based on guidance and regulations issued by the appropriate federal and state agencies and regulators. Wellmark makes no representation as to the impact of plan changes on a plan's grandfathered status or interpretation or implementation of any other provisions of law or regulation. Wellmark will not determine whether coverage is discriminatory or otherwise in violation of Internal Revenue Code Section 105(h). Wellmark also will not provide any testing for compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 105(h). Wellmark will not be held liable for any penalties or other losses resulting from any employer offering coverage in violation of section 105(h). Wellmark will not determine whether any change in an Employer Administered Funding Arrangement affects a health plan's grandfathered health plan status under ACA or otherwise complies with ACA. Wellmark will not be held liable for any penalties or other losses resulting from any Employer Administered Funding Arrangement. For purposes of this paragraph, an "Employer Administered Funding Arrangement" is an arrangement administered by an employer in which the employer contributes toward the member's share of benefit costs (such as the member's deductible, coinsurance, or copayments) in the absence of which the member would be financially responsible. An Employer Administrative Funding Arrangement does not include the employer's contribution to health insurance premiums or rates. The subrogation and third -party liability recovery vendor(s) retain a service fee calculated as a percentage of the recovered amount after deductions for attorneys' fees and costs. For subrogation or third -party liability cases initiated during the Rating Period, the subrogation/third- party liability recovery vendor's service fee is 19.5% of the recovered amount. This fee is subject to change. The final recovered amount received from the vendor is credited to Account. Wellmark's agreement with the subrogation and third -party liability recovery vendor may from time to time allow for the application of no vendor service fees to amounts recovered during that period of time. Any subrogation or third -party liability recovery amount obtained by the vendor on behalf of the Account during that time period will be provided to Account without application of the vendor service fee. v50891 Independent Licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association Proposal Date: 4/5/2023 Wellmark® Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield is an Independent Licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. MEDICARE COMPLIANCE The purpose of this communication is to notify employers of the mandatory reporting requirements of the Medicare, Medicaid, and SCHIP Extension Act of 2007 which were passed into law in July 2008. Your cooperation in providing the necessary employer data and data for each employee and dependent is needed in order to comply with the requirements. The Section 111 mandates of the law help payers identify when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) should pay secondary to employer group health coverage. The goal includes reducing the amount CMS may pay as primary when they should have paid as secondary. Under the requirements, all health plan, liability, no fault and workers compensation coverages must register with CMS as a Responsible Reporting Entity (RRE) and must report to CMS employer and member information. In order to fulfill the mandated requirements and report accurately to CMS, Wellmark, as a RRE, must gather and groups must provide the following information: • Employer Tax Identification Number (ETIN) • Evidence of status as a Commonly Owned/Controlled Group of Organizations, Multi/Multiple Employer Group health plan (such as an Association or Trust), Hour Bank or Union health plan • Total number of group employees/group size • Social Security Numbers (SSNs) or Health Insurance Claim Numbers (HICNs) of active employees, spouses, domestic partners • SSNs or HICNs for those dependents with end stage renal disease (ESRD) or disabled • Status of all employees and effective date of that status (i.e. active, COBRA, retired) • Disability information begin or end dates, if known Please take a moment to complete the Confirmation of Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) Addendum form. This will allow us to capture your employer data for reporting to CMS. Member data is gathered through the use of the group's existing enrollment and eligibility data collection channels, which may include paper applications or electronic data exchanges and should be provided through those processes. Failure to provide the group information requested on the attached Confirmation of MSP Addendum can result in penalties being assessed to the group including, but not limited to, $1,000 per day per member f,or not accurately reporting to CMS and/or an excise tax equivalent to 25 percent of the employer's group health pan expenses for the relevant year.
