Insurance: Renewal Agreements (Commission)

In August of 2019 the City conducted an RFP for health, dental, vision, pharmacy insurance and EAP services.  The City’s Benefits Consultant and the Director of Human Resources supported the RFP selection committee in an advisory capacity. Multiple major insurance carriers were interviewed as well as pharmacy service providers.  The RFP team recommended awarding the health, dental, flex spending account administration, EAP services and stop loss coverage to CIGNA.  The vision plan was recommended to remain with Humana.  As a result of the competitive RFP, more than $800,000 in savings were generated for the City’s health fund.  Contracts were presented to the City Commission for approval in December 2019 and were approved for the plan year which begins on 01-01-20.
