Council approves renewal with Blue KC, Delta Dental and VSP; city to continue paying full employee premiums
The Spring Hill city council on May 22 approved renewing the city’s medical, dental and vision insurance plans with Blue KC, Delta Dental and VSP for the July 1, 2025–June 30, 2026 plan year and continuing the city's current contribution policy to pay 100% of employee premium costs.

Human resources staff told the council that broker CBIZ negotiated the medical renewal down from an initial 9.9% increase to 6.9% with the incumbent carrier Blue KC. Delta Dental’s renewal was cited at about 6.51%, while VSP initially quoted a two‑year rate guarantee; CBIZ negotiated a four‑year rate guarantee for the vision plan. Staff said the six‑month impact for the current fiscal year would be an increase of roughly $40,000.

Staff recommended keeping the same carriers and maintaining the current city contribution percentage, and council voted 3–0–0 to approve the renewal. Staff said more detailed cost breakdowns are in the agenda packet and that open enrollment preparations will proceed for the July 1 effective date.
