A Message from the President and Executive DirectorAnita Barkin, DrPH, MSN, CRNPACHA President,2011-2012Doyle E. Randol, MS,Col. USA (Ret.)ACHA Executive DirectorWe are pleased to provide you with theAmerican College Health Association2011-2012 Annual Report, a synopsisof the achievements of our associationand membership in advancing the fieldof college health and improving thehealth of the nation’s 20 million collegestudents. ACHA is a member-drivenorganization, so through this report, wegratefully acknowledge our membersfor their ongoing commitment to theACHA mission and for their continuedsupport of the American College HealthFoundation.Specifically, this report provides an overview of theassociation’s activities during the program year,June 5, 2011, through June 1, 2012. The FinancialReport reflects financial information for our fiscalyear, January 1 through December 31, 2011.While many challenges faced college healthover the past year, perhaps none were moreimportant than the federal government’s progresstoward finalizing regulations for student healthinsurance programs under the Affordable CareAct. ACHA’s focus was centered on pressing forthe publication and release of these regulations,which finally occurred on March 16, 2012.Affordable Care Actand Student HealthInsuranceWe are pleased to highlight this and otheraccomplishments in the past program year:We remained steadfastly committed,throughout the advocacy process, to preservingcomprehensive student health insurance plansthat conform to ACHA’s guidelines documentStandards for Student Health Insurance/BenefitsPrograms. We have consistently advocatedfor the continuation of such plans, and theimprovement of plans that did not meet thesestandards.Our continuing partnerships with other nationalhealth and higher education organizationsand the private sector supported educationalmaterials and events and promoted theintersection of college health and wellness withpublic health and higher education issues.Our ACHA-National College Health Assessment(ACHA-NCHA) continued to increase itsreputation as the foremost research survey oncollege student health. With the completion oftwo more survey periods (Fall 2011 and Spring2012), more than one million students at over600 universities have participated.Our published guidelines and recommendationson pressing college health topics — immunizations,tobacco use, campus violence, sexual violence,standards of practice for health promotionand others — provided the field with importantclinical and health promotion guidance, discussionpoints for programming, and assessmenttools for professional and program development.Our annual meeting in Chicago providedover 2,000 attendees with a five-day forumto exchange programming ideas, networkwith colleagues, and enhance professionaldevelopment. During this event, we focusedon advocacy and innovation in the collegehealth field, under an annual meeting theme of“College Health: Architects of Change.”We are proud that our members’ dedication toresearch, education, standards, and advocacy hasenabled our association to continue to positivelyimpact the health of our nation’s college students.ACHA Highlights of Projects and Programs for the Programming Year June 2011-May 2012 | 3

Liaisons and CollaborationsThroughout the year ACHA continued importantliaison relationships and collaborations with:Accreditation Association for Ambulatory HealthCare (AAAHC)Centers for Disease Control and Prevention -Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices(CDC-ACIP)Coalition of Higher Education Associations forSubstance Abuse Prevention (CoHEASAP)Coalition of National Health EducationOrganizations (CNHEO)Council for the Advancement of Standards inHigher Education (CAS)Gay and Lesbian Medical Association (GLMA)Higher Education Mental Health Alliance(HEMHA)The Joint Commission - Ambulatory CareProfessional and Technical Advisory Committee(PTAC)The Journal of American College Health (JACH)National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA)National Collegiate Athletic Association - FemaleAthlete Triad Coalition (NCAA-FATC)National Operating Committee for Standards inAthletic Equipment (NOCSAE)ACHA’s partnerships with these national healthand higher education organizations helped toenhance resources for the college health fieldand continue to integrate college health into thenational health agenda.ACHA’s efforts throughout the summerand fall 2011 were centered onmonitoring and influencing the federalgovernment’s progress towardfinalizing regulations for studenthealth insurance programs (SHIPs)under the Affordable Care Act (ACA)and pressing for their publicationand release.In September 2011 ACHA completed submissionof its formal comments on the Departmentof Health and Human Services (HHS)draft regulations for Affordable Health InsuranceExchanges (the state exchanges createdin the affordable care act). Regarding the finalregulations, ACHA urged HHS to:Enable student health insurance plans tocompete on a level playing field with otherindividual coverage options;Provide lower income students who areeligible for the premium subsidy with amechanism for access to the tax credit;Ensure that student health insurance planswould not be subject to disproportionateassessments and user fees if they participatein the exchanges;Accommodate the unique residency issuesfor students studying out of state withregard to their eligibility to participate ina state-based exchange; and,Accommodate the unique enrollmentperiods for student health insurance plans.AdvocacyIn October 2011, ACHA furthered its advocacyefforts regarding Medicaid paymentof premiums for student health insurancefor lower income students. Under the provisionsof the ACA, there may be a significantincrease in the number of college studentswho will be deemed Medicaid eligible. ACHAargued that from a cost/benefit perspective,allowing these students to opt into studenthealth insurance plans with Medicaid payingtheir premiums, rather than relying on theirMedicaid coverage alone, may offer a win-winstrategy for the student and the state. Allowingstudents to purchase the student plan willaddress access to care limitations for studentsstudying out-of-state and in areas where networklimitations and access to providers presentbarriers to care and provide cost-savingsto states. ACHA began assessing the impact ofthe new student health insurance regulationsregarding this continued Medicaid paymentoption for states since the draft regulationsspecifically re-categorized student health insuranceplans (SHIPs) as individual insurancecoverage, which could prove problematic.Also in October, HHS noted the release ofan Institute of Medicine Report entitled“Essential Health Benefits: Balancing Coverageand Cost.” ACHA submitted comments toHHS addressing coverage and cost balancingfor college student health plans, essentiallyembracing the concept, but reminding HHSof the unique features of college students andtheir insurance needs.Continued on next page . . .ACHA Highlights of Projects and Programs for the Programming Year June 2011-May 2012 | 6

Advocacy continued . . .In mid-November 2011, ACHA PresidentBarkin attended an HHS Listening Sessionon Essential Health Benefits in New York City,where she provided testimony about essentialhealth benefits that should be included incollege students’ coverage. A copy of the testimonywas posted on the ACHA website. Inthat same month, ACHA conducted a StudentHealth Insurance Stakeholders ConferenceCall that included 20 organizations (insuranceindustry and higher education associations).In January 2012, ACHA commissionedexperts with McKenna Long & Aldridge LLPto produce a legal analysis regarding twoACA issues: a) whether or not SHIP subscriberswould qualify for the tax subsidy, and b)whether or not state Medicaid dollars couldcontinue to be paid to SHIPs when the studentis eligible for Medicaid and the statedeems use of the SHIP to be cost-effective.Also in January, ACHA worked with AmericanCouncil on Education (ACE) to respond toquestions from the Young Invincibles (anational organization representing the interestsof 18 to 34 year-olds) regarding SHIPs andMedicaid. In February 2012, ACHA reachedout to institutions to encourage those thatmight decide to discontinue offering SHIPsbecause of cost implications from the ACA toprovide timely and thorough notification totheir students. Additionally, leadership fromACHA and the Young Invincibles continued todiscuss other questions regarding SHIPs andMedicaid.ACHA joined ACE and other higher educationorganizations in a March 2, 2012, letter urgingHHS to release long-awaited final SHIP regulations,emphasizing the challenges and impactsfor campuses in both negotiating insurance contractsand preparing financial aid packages forthe 2012-13 academic year.On March 16, 2012, HHS released final regulationsfor SHIPs under ACA; ACHA notified membershipand began analysis of final regulations. OnMarch 27, 2012, ACHA leadership participatedin a conference call with health policy experts atthe Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP)regarding SHIPs and Medicaid. Follow up conversationswere held in April and May with representativesfrom institutions of higher education thathave successfully used Medicaid funds to purchaseSHIPs on a cost-effective basis for qualifyingstudents. Summaries of those experiences werelater shared with CBPP.On April 12, 2012, FAQs regarding the final federalregulations for SHIPs under ACA were posted tothe ACHA website. Also in April, ACHA workedwith ACE to submit information on self-fundedstudent health benefit plans (SHBPs) to HHS. Theletter acknowledged the HHS Secretary’s authorityunder the ACA to designate other types of coverageas minimum essential coverage, and urgedthe Secretary to specify that “self-funded SHBPswhich substantially comply with the required elementsof ‘student health insurance coverage’ asdefined in the final SHIP regulations are a formof ‘minimum essential health coverage’,” therebysatisfying the individual mandate. A copy of theletter was posted to the ACHA website.Also in April, upon learning that the White Housewas adding a new tool to the College Affordabilityand Transparency Center that would assist prospectivestudents and families in comparingcollege costs, ACHA submitted comments onthe proposed College ScoreCard, recommendinga uniform definition for computing cost ofattendance (COA) that includes the student’shealth related costs (administrative healthfees and health insurance premiums), suchthat these costs would be consistently andopenly factored into the College ScoreCard.In May 2012, ACHA developed a brief documentto summarize the final SHIP regulationsand impact on college health plans. This documentsupplemented the more detailed FAQdocument. It was shared at the 2012 AnnualMeeting and posted to the ACHA website.By the end of May 2012, ACHA’s priority ACAadvocacy focus areas were:Medicaid funding for payment of studenthealth insurance premiumsAccess to the premium subsidy tax creditfor eligible students (or their parents) whopurchase student health insuranceClarification about how self-funded SHBPsmay be recognized as minimum essentialhealth coverageMany of the documents and announcementsmentioned above may be accessed throughthe ACHA website. In supporting theseefforts, ACHA senior leaders received invaluableassistance and expertise from the leadersof the ACHA Student Health Insurance andBenefits Plans Coalition.ACHA Highlights of Projects and Programs for the Programming Year June 2011-May 2012 | 7

Online Call for Programsfor Affiliate MeetingsACHA National Office staff workedwith the program planners of fiveof the ACHA affiliates to tailor theonline Call for Programs (CFP) forthe affiliates’ annual meetings.This further streamlined ACHA’s onlineCE review process and the affiliateplanners’ management of programsubmissions.ACHA hopes to be able to offer thisenhanced service to other affiliateswho choose to use ACHA’s continuingeducation review for their annualmeetings.ACHA conducted the 2012 ACHA AnnualMeeting May 28-June 1, 2012, at theSheraton Chicago Hotel and Towers inChicago, Illinois, in collaboration withMid-America College Health Association.The conference was a very successfulevent with an attendance of over 2,000.Keynote speaker Alfie Kohn, MAThis year’s Opening General Session KeynoteAddress was given by Alfie Kohn, MA. In hisaddress, “Beyond Behavior: Why Health IncentivesInevitably Fail … And What’s More Likely toSucceed,” Mr. Kohn reviewed the health-relatedchallenges facing college students and arguedthat we need to focus not on discrete behaviorsbut on the motives, reasons, values, andinstitutional practices that underlie them.Annual MeetingMr. Kohn is the author of twelve books on this andrelated topics.This year’s annual Dorosin Memorial Lecture,sponsored by the Mental Health Section,featured Corey Keyes, PhD, Associate Professor ofSociology, Emory University. In his presentation,“Flourishing: Aiming Higher in Higher Education,”he discussed how the absence of mental illnessdoes not necessarily translate into the presenceof mental health, and any condition less than“flourishing” (which is the absence of mentalillness and sufficiently high levels of subjectivewell-being) may result in an elevated burden tostudents and society, including risk of mentalillness.The 2012 Presidential Session speaker, SaraLaschever, MA, discussed how advocacy plays animportant role in promoting health and healthpolicy. In her address, “The Power of Advocacy:Learning to Ask,” she described how, to be mosteffective, college health professionals needthe ability to advocate for themselves, for theirstudents, and for the student body as a whole.This program explored challenges and discussedstrategies that health care professionals andwomen in particular can use to become effectivenegotiators.The 2012 Annual Meeting offered numerousother educational and networking opportunities.Insurance, budgeting, diversity, disease control,crisis management, and mental health issueswere just some of the issues that were presentedin more than 130 educational sessions anddiscussions at the meeting.
