Executive Session Health Care Renewal Report
7:00pm
Staff reviewed the March 17, 2003 Health Care Renewal Report. As part of
this review, it was shown that the adoption of the Blue Cross /Blue Shield
self-insured PPO has met all expectations with respect to:
1. More professional administration;
2. A larger hospital and doctor network;
3. A plan providing increased benefits for employees; and
4. A cost savings for the Village and employees.
It is anticipated that for FY 2003-2004, the upcoming fiscal year, the Village
will realize the full potential of the discounted Blue Cross network.
Our consultant reported that most employers were facing a 15%to 20%
health care cost increase. Because of our adoption of the Blue Cross Plan
and with the reduced rates accompanying this plan, we are able to renew our
PPO plan with no premium increase.
Our consultant negotiated a lower increase in the HMO Illinois medical
plan. Village employees are leaving the HMO plan for the PPO plan.
It was the unamious recommendation of the Personnel Committee to renew
all health care plans in the following manner.
Blue Cross /Blue Shield (PPO) No Premium Increase
HMO Illinois (HMO) 16%Premium Increase
Village Dental Plan No Premium Increase
First Commonwealth Dental HMO 5% Premium Increase
VSP Vision Plan No Premium Increase
Staff was directed to prepare the necessary Consent Agenda Items for
approval at the April 8, 2003 Board Meeting.
The meeting on this issue concluded at 7:25 p.m.
