April 1, 1985 - 23 - Item 11-K. 1 NEW BUSINESS INSURANCE CONSULTANT'S REPORT ITEM # 23427 Giles Dodd Assistant to the City Manager for Administration, introduced Emory P. Weisiger, Jr., Senior Consultant for JOHNSON & HIGGINS OF VIRGINIA, INC. Emory P. Weisiger presented the review and analysis of the Health Benefit Plan that currently exists for City Employees aiid for Employees of the School Board. JOHNSON & HIGGINS were asked to determine the effectiveness and appropriateness of the Cost Containment Features in the Existing Plans. Following the review and analysis, 100 Employees were interviewed of both the City and the School Board as well as certain Key Officials in both Groups. The City and School Board have been provided written reports of these interviews. For the City, the Cost Containment Features are Pre-Admission Testing paid at 100%, Non-Emergency Friday and Saturday Adminissions to the Hospital Excluded, Ambulatory Surgical Procedures and Preventative Dental Care Paid at 100%. The PLAN then pays 100/- of all expenses to prevent the employee from real finaiicial hardship. The City Plan is reinsured at a $20,000 limit per family. Second Opinion Surgery saves the City approximately $36,500. There were eight (8) surgeries that were not performed within three months after a negative opinion was given. This saved the City $34,000. Sixteen (16) surgeries were reduced because employees failed to procure a second opinion, and this saved $6,500. The Cost of the program for 63 Second Opiniotis, together with Tests, was $4,060. JOHNSON & HIGGINS advocate that Hospital Pre-Authorization be added to the Medical Program as same is already cohtained within the Dental Program. In reviewing the School Board Plan, there are three choices provided to Employees: Th. "A" PLAN is f.11 service, it pays for everything in room and board aDd all miscellaneous and it pays surgery in full, as well as having a major medical plan. The "B" PLAN is . Comprehenisve Program, with a $100 Deductible and a $600 Stop-Loss Limit. The "C" PLAN has only a 4% enrollement witb a $250 Deductible and contains a higher out-of-pocket cost. It is recommedded that PLAN "C" be ELIMINATED. In PLAN "A" - no more pebple are going into PLAN "A" - there is a 15% enrollment. This is a higher employee cost and the Enrollment has switched to PLAN "B". On the surface, it looks like the Friday and Saturday Admissions under BLUE CROSS ADMINISTRATION is actually lower than under the PRUDENTIAL ADMINISTATION. However, JOHNSON & HIGGINS are aware that reports coming from BLUE CROSS eliminate all short stays. CoDcerning the survey, 2,130 responses from the City were received and 2,911 responses from the School Board. The majority of employees agree that: "if it wo.ld save me money, I would help my employer more iii keeping health care costs down." The majority of City Employees believe Claims Administration aud Plan Design is POOR, while the majority of the School Personnel believe Claims Administration and Plan Design is good with a higher degree of dissatisfacitoii in PLAN "C". - 24 - Item 11-K.1 NEW BUSINESS ITEM # 23427 (Continued) INSURANCE CONSULTANT'S REPORT Seventy-nine (79%) Percent of the employees agree they have MEDICAL COST PROBLEMS, while 72% of the Employees feel the Employer has a MEDICAL COST PROBLEM. 86% of all employees believe options in Health Care Coverage is good. 69 1/2% of City Employees want changes. 67.4% would pay for better Health care. 62.4% would pay for better Dental care 51.5% would pay for better Preventative Care Over 50% of School Employees would pay for Better Health and Dental Care. School Employees have choices, and City Employees want same. JOHNSON & HIGGINS suggested the following: Offer a Health Maintenance Orgailization Modify existing plan Offer a more moderate benefit plan The particular HEALTH MAINTENANCE ORGANIZATION (HRO) presented was the UNITED MEDICAL PLAN. lt is Federaily qualified as well as an individual practice association The Rates are as follows: Curreiit 7/85 Expected Single $ 72.50 $ 74.00 Employee & I Child 108.30 110.00 Family 202.00 206.00 To Modify the Existing Plan: Eliminate dual deductible for Medical/Dental producing a deductible for medical only Add pre-authorization Increase Dental Maximum The more Moderate Benefit Plan to be offered would entail a lower cost Medical Plan, a straightforward Compreheasive Plan with a $500 up front deductible, a 20% coinsurance, meaning the betiefit would be 80% and a $5,000 STOP-LOSS enabling any employee after experiencing $5,000 in medical costs out-of-pocket, the PLAN would step in and pay 100%. Psychiatric coverage would be limited to 50% coverage and a 30-day maximum inpatient confinement durifig the year. COSTS- Single $ 72.70 Employee + 1 child 88.95 Family 158.45 April 1, 1985 - 25 - Item 11-K. I NEW BUSINESS ITEM # 23427 (Continued) INSURANCE CONSULTANT'S REPORT In starting the MARKETING PROCESS and setting up specifications, JOHNSON & HIGGINS had to project both claims and premiums to July 1985. Premiums projected to be paid to July 1985 will amount to $4,296,400, while PAID CLAIMS will amount to $4,187,700. The Iiisurance company will more than likely request an increase in the reserves of about $338,200. Expenses will probably run approximately $800,000 for a total estimated cost of $5,325,000. There is a RETROACTIVE RATE CALL of 21% of Premium which is estimated to be about $890,000. On the basis of CLAIMS and EXPENSES it is believed PRUDENTIAL will call the full amount. This amounts to $232,900 short of what is available in the Trust Fund, This report is hereby made a part of the record. April 1, 1985 - 26 - Item II-K.2 NEW BUSINESS ITEM # 23428 ADD-ON RESOLUTION/OLD DOMINION LADY MONARCHS Councilwoman Oberndorf requested City Council present a RESOLUTION IN RECOGNITION to the OLD DOMTNION LADY MONARCHS as Champions of the NCAA (NATIONAL COLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION). April 1, 1985 2 7 Item 11-K.3 NEW BUSINESS ITEM # 23429 ADD-ON NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES CONFERENCE Councilwoman Oberndorf referenced the NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES CONFERENCE she attended last week which commenced March 23, 1985 with a Meeting of the Steering Cormittee on Energy, Environment and Natural Resources. Localities need to raise their own real estate taxes as well as user fees. The NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES proposed a deficit reduction package which included the following items: (1) An immediate across-the-board freeze in all non-needs-tested federal program spending, with the exception of the COLA (cost of living adjustment) to social security recipients, and an immediate freeze on the total of tax ex- penditures; (2) An increase in revenues to pay for increases in program spending to assure a pay-as-you-go approach to the budget; and (3) Any consideration of further cuts -- below a freeze level -- in any policy area not be limited to direct spending but also include tax expenditures and credit activities. Councilwoman Oberndorf inquired as to whether the Federal Government would be more lenient concernifig mandating programs which they did not plan to fund as they are phasing out our major waste water treatment fund, and our super fund for cleaning up hazardous wastes. They replied they will continue to mandate, but responsibility for eiiforcement would either be with the State or Locality. LUST (Leaking Underground Storage Tanks) was referenced. Begianing May 7, 1985, the localities shall be responsible for checking gasoline stations storing petroleum, as well as other waste storage areas to be assured the tanks are iiot pollutiilg either the grouud water or the ground surrounding same. The HAMMER Clause stipulates if pollution occurs, a $10,000 fine will be incurred. If the City agrees to take any hazardous wastes into our Landills, there are mandates that will have to be sigiied. The most significant fact reiterated was many localities use REVENUE SHARING to actually fund their Operating Budget, Cost for Indigent Care, or to pay their police and firemen. Fortunately Virginia Beach has been most responsible and does not utilize these fuiids as mentioned. The following papers, the results of four days of intensive meetings at the NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES CONFERENCE in Washington,D.C., from March 23, 1985 to March 26, 1985 are hereby made a part of the record: (1) PRIORITIES FOR AMERICA'S CITIES ADOPTED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES (2) STATEMENT OF LOW INCOME HOUSING (3) BUDGET PRIORITIES FOR CITIES (4) MASS TRANSIT WORKSHOP (5) GENERAL REVENUE SHARING April 1, 1985 - 28 - Item 11-K.4 NEW BUSINESS ITEM # 23430 INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Period July 1, 1984 through February 28, 1985, were distributed to City Council.
