Human resources presents health insurance renewal options; current contribution rates provided
Summary
Human Resources Director Tara McCulloch said the city is awaiting carrier renewal proposals and is preparing multiple plan designs; she reported non-bargaining employee contributions of approximately 5.3%–7% of premium and bargaining-unit contributions of 12%–17% depending on contract and wellness participation.
Human Resources Director Tara McCulloch updated Council on the city’s health insurance renewal process and said she has asked Fidelity Group, the city’s consultant, to provide multiple plan designs so Council will have two or three plan alternatives to consider. She said carrier renewal proposals are forthcoming and that premium and employee contribution amounts depend on the designs presented.
McCulloch explained that non-bargaining employee contributions are currently flat monthly amounts that represent roughly 5.3% to 7% of total premium costs, while bargaining-unit employees contribute between 12% and 17% depending on collective-bargaining provisions and completion of the City wellness program. She said benchmarking information from comparable Ohio municipalities and the State Employment Relations Board survey have informed these comparisons.
