CALL TO ORDER
AGENDA AND DISCUSSIONS
? Reather Hollowell discussed healthcare for the 2016 plan year. The healthcare
summary was as follows:
1. Prescription Drug Plan RFP ? Prescription drugs remain a significant
component of the total healthcare dollars. Because of this, an RFP was done to
select a new pharmacy benefit management (PBM) organization to assist in
efforts to control cost and modify the prescription plan without impacting
members.
2. Healthcare Plan Design ? There are currently three medical plans; HMO,
POS/PPO and the Health & Wellness Center.
3. Post 65 Retiree Private Exchange ? A review and analysis of moving the post
65 retirees to a private exchange model. Ninety-two percent (92%) of the
retirees would be better off with an average savings of $1,461 annually.
4. Health and Wellness Center ? A review and analysis of allowing all
employees, regardless of plan, access to the Health & Wellness Center. The
operation of the Health & Wellness is center is being reviewed and analyzed to
create a long-term plan to embed wellness in the CCG?s culture.
5. Cost Sharing Ratio ? In FY2015, City Council adopted employer-employee cost
sharing ratio. The ratio is 70/30 employer/employee and 50/50:30
employer/pre-65 retiree & dependents.
6. Medical Plan RFP - RFP was completed for group medical benefits (health,
dental and vision) for employees and pre-65 retirees. Providers reviewed were
United Healthcare, Aetna, CIGNA and BCBSGA. BCBSGA has the highest rate of
discounts and is a better plan option for CCG.
? There being no further business, a motion was made to adjourn.
Next Committee Meeting: Wednesday, June 5, 2015, 10:00AM, Ground Floor
Conference Room.
