The second lowest price combination is calculated by summing the second lowest price health plan, the second lowest price dental plan, and the second lowest price vision plan. If only one health, dental, or vision plan is available to subscribers in a county, the price of the one available plan shall be used in the calculations of the second lowest price combination. A health, dental, or vision plan with a service area which does not include zip codes in which at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the residents of the county reside or that has enrollment limits unrelated to network capacity shall not be considered the lowest or second lowest price plan, unless it is the only health, dental or vision plan in the county. In addition, any combination of health, dental, and vision plans in which the health, dental, and vision plan are each available in at least one plan combination that is within seven and one half percent (7.5%) of the average price of the lowest and second lowest price combination of health, dental, and vision plans, is a family value package. In all family value package calculations, the health plan rate to be used is the rate for subscriber children from one year old up to the age of nineteen. The dental and vision plan rates to be used are the rates for subscriber children. When the Board calculates the family value package, it shall base the calculation on the plan prices expected to be available for the anticipated health, dental and vision plan contract terms. Calculations will not be redone if plans are later dropped from or added to a county. However, if the Board at any time determines that the seven and one half percent (7.5%) level is insufficient to assure that adequate network capacity exists in a specified county so that all subscribers may be enrolled in a family value package, the Board may increase the percentage for that county to a percentage at which sufficient capacity is assured. Such increased percentage shall be in effect only for the benefit year in which the increase is made. The Board may determine, if requested as a part of a rural demonstration project for a special population, that a combination of health, dental, and vision plans in a county with a price higher than the family value package may still be deemed a family value package for applicants and subscribers that are members of the special population; in addition the Board may determine, if requested as part of a rural demonstration project for rural area residents, that a combination of health, dental, and vision plans in a county with a price higher than the family value package may still be deemed a family value package for subscribers that are residents of the rural area. The Board may determine that a combination of health, dental, and vision plans in a county that includes health and vision plans available in at least one family value package plan combination is deemed a family value package even if the dental plan is not in any other family value package plan combination, but only for applicants with subscribers who are enrolled prior to the beginning of the benefit year in that dental plan, and only if the Board determines it necessary in order to avoid requiring fifty percent (50%) of subscribers or one-thousand (1,000) subscribers in a county to change their dental plan.
