Approval of the 2015 Employee Insurance providers and plans (Blue Cross/Blue Shield of GA and Guardian) and authorize the Mayor to execute all related documents
Body
ISSUE: Annual selection and/or renewal of employee benefits
BACKGROUND: Every fall, the city must re-evaluate and select its insurance plans and providers for Employee Benefits. Our consultant/broker, Marsh & McLennan Agency (Guy Morrision) solicited bids through an RFP. Based on the results, it is recommended that the City renew with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of GA for the medical coverage and Guardian for all other products (dental, vision, city-paid life/AD&D, short-term and long-term disability).
RECOMMENDATION/REQUESTED ACTION: Recommendation: No plan design changes, but increase by 1% (to 11%) the employee only contribution for HMO/PPO. Requested action: Approval of Blue Cross/Blue Shield of GA as provider for medical coverage and Guardian as provider for dental, vision, Life/AD&D, short-term and long-term disability.
