Knight Director of Human Resources COSTA DATE: November 2, 1999 n41 COUNTY SUBJECT: BENEFIT CONTRACT CHANCES SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS: IT IS ORDERED that the Director of Human Resources be authorized to execute contract agreements with Health Net for calendar year 2000 and ReliaStar for calendar year 2000-2003 to replace the Foundation Health Systems PPO (FHS PPO) Health and Aetna Life Insurance. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Auditor-Controller be authorized to issue a deposit check in the amount of$40,000 which will be credited toward the first premium payment. BACKGROUND: PPO: In 1999 FHSPPO was purchased from Health Net's parent company. The effective date Of the purchase will be January 2000. As a result, the Health Care Oversight Committee and the County issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the purpose of replacing the FHSPPO plan because the plan would no longer be available to members residing in California. After reviewing RFP responses and interviewing carriers, the committee recommended that Health Net PPO plan be selected as the new PPO provider. Upon reaching agreement with the various labor organizations, Health Net was selected as the new carrier for PPO members beginning January 1, 2000. LIFE INSURANCE: The County issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for life insurance quotes in order to provide a more competitive life insurance package for members. After interviewing interested carriers, a committee comprised of representatives from the CAO, Auditor Controller, Retirement and Human Resources Department, recommended the selection of ReliaStar as the replacement plan for the County sponsored life insurance programs beginning January 1, 2000. The new provider will allow employees a wider range of suppimental'life insurance purchase options and a more flexible benefit program for waiver of premium and portablility options than currently allowed. The carrier also agreed to hold a County wide one time open enrollment so all employees would be give the option of enrolling or increasing their current' program in early 2000 without providing evidence of insurability statements.
