The high-touch HCDDP Care Team provides elevated service and support by contacting members by mail and phone to facilitate participation in the program. The HCDDP program applies to traditional style plans. HCDDP excludes AffordaBlue, transitional relief, ACA, and HSA plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How CCAA works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The program enables members to use copay card dollars to access prescriptions and ensures members\u2019 true out-of-pocket expenses are accounted for within their out-of-pocket accumulators. This allows manufacturer copay card dollars to continue to be maximized while the members\u2019 out-of-pocket expenses are accurately reflected in accumulators. The CCAA program applies to HSA plans. CCAA does not apply to transitional relief and AffordaBlue plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HCDDP and CCAA* programs apply to fully insured 51-99 and level funded 5-99 products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please contact your Blue KC representative with questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">*Small group ACA already leverages a CCAA program for groups with 2-50 employees that do not offer transitional relief coverage. Groups with 2-50 employees that do offer transitional relief coverage are not eligible for the CCAA program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<div id=\"daexthefu-container\"\r\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"daexthefu-container daexthefu-layout-side-by-side daexthefu-alignment-left\"\r\n\t\t\t\tdata-post-id=\"11249\">\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"daexthefu-feedback\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"daexthefu-text\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"daexthefu-title\">Was this helpful?<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"daexthefu-buttons-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"daexthefu-buttons\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"daexthefu-yes daexthefu-button daexthefu-button-type-icon\" data-value=\"1\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n                <svg>\r\n                    <defs>\r\n                        <style>.thumb-up-cls-1{fill:#c9c9c9;}.thumb-up-cls-2{fill:#e1e1e1;}.thumb-up-cls-3{fill:#676767;}<\/style>\r\n                    <\/defs>\r\n                    <g id=\"thumb_up\">\r\n                        <path class=\"thumb-up-cls-2 daexthefu-icon-circle\" d=\"m24,3c11.58,0,21,9.42,21,21s-9.42,21-21,21S3,35.58,3,24,12.42,3,24,3m0-1C11.85,2,2,11.85,2,24s9.85,22,22,22,22-9.85,22-22S36.15,2,24,2h0Z\" \/>\r\n                        <g>\r\n                            <rect class=\"thumb-up-cls-3 daexthefu-icon-secondary-color\" x=\"10\" y=\"20\" width=\"6\" height=\"15\" rx=\"1.5\" ry=\"1.5\" \/>\r\n                            <path class=\"thumb-up-cls-1 daexthefu-icon-primary-color\" d=\"m30.57,9.06l-.49-.1c-.81-.17-1.61.35-1.78,1.16l-5.3,11.74c-.17.81,3.16,1.61,3.97,1.78l1.96.41c.81.17,1.61-.35,1.78-1.16l2.18-10.27c.34-1.61-.7-3.21-2.31-3.56Z\" \/>\r\n                            <path class=\"thumb-up-cls-1 daexthefu-icon-primary-color\" d=\"m38.17,20h-18.67c-.83,0-1.5.67-1.5,1.5v12c0,.83.67,1.5,1.5,1.5h16.27c.71,0,1.33-.5,1.47-1.21l2.4-12c.19-.93-.53-1.8-1.47-1.8Z\" \/>\r\n                        <\/g>\r\n                    <\/g>\r\n                <\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"daexthefu-no daexthefu-button daexthefu-button-type-icon\" data-value=\"0\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n                <svg>\r\n                    <defs>\r\n                        <style>.thumb-down-cls-1{fill:#c9c9c9;}.thumb-down-cls-2{fill:#e1e1e1;}.thumb-down-cls-3{fill:#676767;}<\/style>\r\n                    <\/defs>\r\n                    <g id=\"thumb_down\">\r\n                        <path class=\"thumb-down-cls-2 daexthefu-icon-circle\" d=\"m24,3c11.58,0,21,9.42,21,21s-9.42,21-21,21S3,35.58,3,24,12.42,3,24,3m0-1C11.85,2,2,11.85,2,24s9.85,22,22,22,22-9.85,22-22S36.15,2,24,2h0Z\" \/>\r\n                        <g>\r\n                            <rect class=\"thumb-down-cls-3 daexthefu-icon-secondary-color\" x=\"10\" y=\"13\" width=\"6\" height=\"15\" rx=\"1.5\" ry=\"1.5\" \/>\r\n                            <path class=\"thumb-down-cls-1 daexthefu-icon-primary-color\" d=\"m30.57,38.94l-.49.1c-.81.17-1.61-.35-1.78-1.16l-5.3-11.74c-.17-.81,3.16-1.61,3.97-1.78l1.96-.41c.81-.17,1.61.35,1.78,1.16l2.18,10.27c.34,1.61-.7,3.21-2.31,3.56Z\" \/>\r\n                            <path class=\"thumb-down-cls-1 daexthefu-icon-primary-color\" d=\"m38.17,28h-18.67c-.83,0-1.5-.67-1.5-1.5v-12c0-.83.67-1.5,1.5-1.5h16.27c.71,0,1.33.5,1.47,1.21l2.4,12c.19.93-.53,1.8-1.47,1.8Z\" \/>\r\n                        <\/g>\r\n                    <\/g>\r\n                <\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"daexthefu-comment\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"daexthefu-comment-top-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<label id=\"daexthefu-comment-label\" class=\"daexthefu-comment-label\"><\/label>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"daexthefu-comment-character-counter-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"daexthefu-comment-character-counter-number\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"daexthefu-comment-character-counter-number\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"daexthefu-comment-character-counter-text\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<textarea id=\"daexthefu-comment-textarea\" class=\"daexthefu-comment-textarea\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tplaceholder=\"Type your message\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmaxlength=\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t400\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"><\/textarea>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"daexthefu-comment-buttons-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"daexthefu-comment-submit daexthefu-button\">Submit<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"daexthefu-comment-cancel daexthefu-button\">Cancel<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"daexthefu-successful-submission-text\">Thanks for your feedback!<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\r\n\t\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The High-Cost Drug Discount Program (HCDDP) and Copay Card Accumulator Adjustment Program (CCAA) will launch starting with January renewals for&nbsp;non-ACA small group plans*.
