Health Care Group Sample Clauses

Health Care Group. During negotiations for a new Agreement in 2012, HUCTW and the University agreed to establish a special negotiating group on health care (the Health Care Group) to begin meeting on a regular basis one month after ratification of the 2012 Agreement. The Health Care Group will be composed of an equal number of University and HUCTW representatives and will confer regularly with mutually agreed-upon experts in the area of health care policy, health economics, and health promotion/wellness. On an ongoing basis, the Health Care Group will review data concerning: • The trend in Harvard’s total active plan health care expenditures in recent years; • The sharing of health care costs between the University and employees, as well as the distribution of employee costs among groups at different income levels; and • Trends in medical claims among the HUCTW membership. The Health Care Group will be charged with discussing and resolving the following questions and issues: • Active plan co-payments and deductibles; • The premium-sharing system that provides for varying premium contribution percentages for employees at different levels of Harvard pay, including consideration of systematic adjustment of the pay thresholds; • Annual review of the methodology used to set new premium rates and analysis of any surplus or deficit in the University’s health premium accounts; and • Exploration of potential union-management projects to reduce total health care cost through health promotion and education about health care choices, as well as the question of how the benefits of any resulting cost reduction will be shared between the University and employees. • Beginning as early as possible in 2016, and for the life of the contract: a one- month premium waiver for employees who choose HUGHP (Harvard University Group Health Plan) at their initial health plan enrollment. • Beginning with Open Enrollment for 2017, and again in Open Enrollment for 2018, provide a two-month premium waiver for employees who switch from Harvard Pilgrim Health Care (HPHC) to HUGHP • Commitment of ongoing Harvard-HUCTW collaborative efforts to reduce medical spending and improve patient experience. If the Health Care Group encounters difficulty in arriving at a resolution to any of the above-named issues, it may decide to make use of a Fact-Finding Process, in which a mutually-agreeable, neutral expert will hear perspectives and proposals from the parties and make specific recommendations.
