About this file
The document is a Schedule J Benefit Comparison and Actuarial Attestation spreadsheet for the Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System (MPSERS) Master Health Care Plan, presenting detailed health insurance benefit summaries for both Non-Medicare and Medicare populations. The spreadsheet provides comprehensive comparisons of medical services, including office visits, routine exams, hospital care, emergency services, prescription drugs, and hearing benefits, with varying coinsurance rates, copayments, and out-of-pocket maximums for different service categories.
The benefits comparison includes specific details such as deductibles ($1,000 for Non-Medicare, $800 for Medicare), pharmacy maximums, and medical out-of-pocket maximums, with options for members enrolled in the Living Well program to potentially reduce deductibles. Key features include in-network and out-of-network coverage, BlueCard network access, specialty pharmacy services through BriovaRx, and hearing aid benefits through TruHearing providers. The document requires bidders to submit an Actuarial Attestation certified by an actuary, demonstrating actuarial equivalence, and indicates no county restrictions for coverage.
