TO: Mayor John Landwehr
Members of the City Council
FROM: Gail Strope
Director of lian Resources
DATE: September 24, 2004
SUBJECT: Agreement with Blue Cross Blue Shield for Dentablue Group Dental
Insurance
Through the assistance of a broker, the City recently received proposals for group dental
insurance for the calendar year 2005. Including our current carrier, seven companies
submitted proposals. The group dental plan provides dental insurance for all eligible
employees and their dependents. After reviewing the various proposals and meeting with
two of the carriers, a committee of staff members has selected Blue Cross Blue Shield and
their Dentablue dental plan as the best proposal. In addition to offering the same rates we
are currently paying, Blue Cross Blue Shield has offered a two year rate guarantee. The
plan remains substantially the same as we are currently enjoying, with the removal of one
waiting period for new hires, Current and renewal monthly premiums are.
Current Renewal
Employee only $2U.56 $20.56
Employee and spouse _ $43.16 $43. 16
Employee and children $45,48 _ — $45.48
Employee and family �! $68.08
Total estimated cost to the City for the calendar year is $94,987.00. The City covers the
cost of each eligible employee's dental insurance. In addition, employees may elect to
purchase dependent insurance.
It should be noted that one carrier came in approximately $2200 per year lower than Blue
Cross Blue Shield. However, the committee recommends Blue Cross Blue Shield over
this carrier for a couple of reasons, One, Blue Cross Blue Shield requires 75%
participation of City employees. Although the City purchases dental insurance for each
employee, we do have some employees who have coverage already through their spouse
and have elected not. to have coverage through the City. The other carrier requires 100%
participation which means we would have to pay for coverage for each employee
regardless as to whether or not they need it. Second, Blue Cross Blue Shield olTcrs two
cleanings per year, regardless of how far apart they are. The other plan requires a full six
months to pass bel-ore they will cover a second cleaning. Finally, Blue Cross Flue Shield
will ofTer the $1000 orthodontia benefit to all current employees' covered dependents,
regardless of how much has been covered by the previous carrier-, The other carrier will
offiet the orthodontia benefit by any amounts that have already been paid by a previous
dental carrier. A copy of the spreadsheet comparing the various proposals is attached.
This information will be submitted to you in the lorm of a bill summary and ordinance at
the next Council meeting on October 4, 2004. However, in order to have all the
paperwork completed and forms prepared for open enrollment on November 2, a, and 4,
2004, 1 will be asking for a suspension of the rules to have this ordinance voted on at the
October 4, 2004 Council meeting. I am hoping by sending the information to you in
advance, you will plenty oftime to review and consider it.
Please feel free to contact me ifyou have any questions or comments.
