Background Information

Implementation of the Affordable Care Act is transforming how we deliver care and receive payment as an organization, creating significant cost and administrative burdens for the network and consumers − These increased costs will fall on our patients unless we take steps

to keep healthcare affordable − Moving forward, patients will demand better value and better

outcomes at lower costs Our current Pension Plan has a $65,000,000 funding liability (this is the

cost to TCHHN) − The funding liability is based on the market, so it can go up or down

outside of our control − Last year’s liability was $113,000,000

TCH pays $260,000 annually to the government for pension insurance

National Trends

Nationally – 70% of healthcare organizations provide defined contribution plans (like our

403(b) Retirement Savings Plan), while 70% do NOT offer defined benefit plans (like our Pension Plan)*

Nationally – 50% of all employees are in a defined contribution plan and 22% are in a defined benefit plan (the balance do not have a retirement plan)**

Locally

4 out of 7 health systems currently offer plans other than a defined benefit plan

7/1/2014 - UC Health will move to a defined contribution plan very

similar in design to the TCHHN 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan *Mercer Human Capital, 2011 Survey

**US Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2011
