Chester council ratifies RFP to seek professional administrators for city medical and pharmacy benefits
Summary
Council ratified issuance of an RFP to seek professional administration for the city’s medical and pharmacy programs; officials emphasized the change would not alter benefits but is intended to explore potential cost savings.
Chester City Council on July 6 ratified the issuance of an RFP to seek professional administration of the city’s medical and pharmacy program services.
The chief, describing Resolution 91, said the broker Connor Strong had put the RFP out and clarified the scope: "Let me be clear. This does not change our pharmacy or medical benefits. It simply seeks a professional management of those particular benefits as they're delivered." The goal, he said, is to review price structures and see whether professional administration could yield savings while keeping benefit levels unchanged.
The transcript shows the council was asked to ratify the RFP issuance; no details on prospective vendors or timeline were discussed in the excerpt provided and no formal vote appears in the recorded portion.
