CITY OF SAND SPRINGS
COUNCIL/AUTHORITY STAFF REPORT
MEETING DATE: March 25, 2019
SUBJECT:
Resolution No. M19-03 Employee Benefits (Insurance) Renewals
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of Resolution No. M19-03 a resolution authorizing the Mayor to sign the renewal of
agreements for employee benefits including group health, telemedicine, vision, dental and life
insurance benefits.
BACKGROUND AND HISTORY:
Presently Community Care of Oklahoma provides group health insurance to City employees.
The City pays 75% of the premium cost, with the remaining 25% coming from the employees.
The initial renewal proposal from Community Care was a 12% increase in premiums due to high
claims. Our Broker, Premier Consulting LLC, went out to market with one company returning
quotes comparable to current rates; however, lacked in overall benefits. In looking at the
options provided to us by Community Care, Staff conferred to settle on the primary health
benefit option resulting in a 5% increase in premium with no change in the structure of the
benefits to include deductibles/co-pays. Employees do still have the option to buy up to a lower
deductible and co-pay plan with the additional expense being the responsibility of the employee.
There are no changes to the Prescription Benefits that Community Care offers. The current
structure differentiates Preferred Pharmacy Copays at: $0/$15/$40/$85/$260 and Non Preferred
Pharmacy Copays at: $5/$20/$50/$105/$300 in addition to a differential between generic brand
and name brand drugs.
Last year the City offered a telemedicine benefit which has resulted in over $20,000 dollars in
claims savings. This year the City has elected to change to a more robust telemedicine carrier
known as HealthJoy. This plan allows employees to call into a licensed doctor for an evaluation
of medical related needs preventing unnecessary emergency room or urgent care visits for
basic routine illnesses. Additionally, the plan will assist employees in shopping the market for
the most cost effective course of treatment/medicine within the employee’s network. The cost to
the City for this added benefit will be approximately $13,182 annually.
In addition, as a part of our drug-free workplace program, the City provides an employee
assistance program for all employees and their dependents. Community Care has offered to
again provide this service for fiscal year 2019 at no cost contingent upon the Council approving
Community Care as the health insurance provider.
Delta Dental has been the City’s dental provider for group dental benefits since the mid-1980’s.
The City pays 100% of the employee’s coverage, while the employee is responsible for the cost
of dependent coverage. For the first time in over five years the plan has seen an increase by
7%.
Lincoln Financial provides group life insurance to City employees up to one times the annual
salary for each employee at a rate of $0.215 per thousand. This rate includes Accidental Death
& Dismemberment. The employee may purchase $5,000 for their spouse and $2,000 for each
dependent child at a rate of $1.52 per family. The City pays 100% of the employee’s coverage,
while the employee is responsible for the cost of spouse and dependent coverage. The rate is
$0.215 per thousand, Life rate per $1,000 - $0.180 and AD&D rate per $1,000 - $0.035.
Lincoln continues to provide additional life insurance that employees may purchase above the
current one times salary limit. Employees can purchase up to $300,000 on themselves.
Standard will guarantee issue $50,000 without completing a health questionnaire on new
enrollees. Employees have to complete a health questionnaire for amounts greater than
$50,000 or if changing existing coverage. Employees can also purchase up to $150,000 on
their spouses, the guarantee issue amount for spouses is $10,000 for new enrollees.
Employees can purchase up to $10,000 on their children.
Lincoln also provides group long term disability to City employees. The City pays 100% of an
employee’s coverage with 100% enrollment. The benefit is 60%, with a maximum monthly
benefit of $5,000, and a minimum monthly benefit of the greater of $100 or 10%. An elimination
period of 90 days and own occupation period of 24 months. The rate is $0.320 per 100.
BUDGETARY IMPACT:
With the increase in health insurance rates, the budgetary impact will be an increase of
$116,577 over prior year.
Transition to HealthJoy for the telemedicine benefit, the budgetary impact will be an increase of
$3,482 over prior year.
Dental insurance rate budgetary impact will be $8,490 over prior year
Life insurance rate budgetary impact will be $0 (no increase).
Long term disability rate budgetary impact will be $0 (no increase).
Total budgetary impact will be an increase of $128,549 over prior year. This is included in the
proposed FY20 budget.
