County Administrator's Report
9.1 16-0565
Health insurance presentation.
Human Resources Director Rodney Marion provided a presentation regarding health
insurace benefits. The County's 2016 projected gross cost for health insurance is
expected to be 7.2 percent below budget. The 2017 forecasted cost for health insurance
reflects a 2.6 percent increase from 2016's budgeted amount but includes the County's
funding contribution for the consumer driven health plan (CDHP).
Mr. Marion reviewed employees and retirees conributions. Over the past two years, there
has been a significant migration to the CDHP from the preferred provider organization
(PPO) plan. The CDHP is out-performing the traditional PPO by $2,352, which includes
the County's contribution, per member per year. Part of the reasoning is that those who
are in the CDHP are using the plan as intended.
Mr. Marion provided a legislative update regarding the Cadillac tax. In December 2015,
Congress delayed the effective date of the law until 2020. There are two bills that have
been introduced to limit the impact of the tax. He reviewed projected scenarios in 2020
and the potential cost impact to the County from the tax.
Mr. Marion provided options for the Committee to consider including reducing the
County's contribution to the CDHP, continuing to shift costs to employees by increasing
employee shares, and maintaining the plans as they currently exist. Discussion ensued.
Member Mandel suggested that a higher contribution be required for employees with
PPO plans. Member Rummel suggested that staff also provide the Committee with an
analysis regarding what the implications are for employees if the County were to increase
their share of costs. Discussion continued.
Mr. Marion wil return at the June 29, 2016 meeting to further review the County's options
and incorporate the recommendations from the Committee. This item is suggested to be
under consideration at the August 31, 2016 Committee meeting.
