The renewal for 2021-2022 is a 9.9% increase for the County and employee's share of the premiums. Higher medical claims and pharmacy costs are the contributing factors for the increase. The plans have not had an increase since 2018-2019. Our six-year average increase is 1.5%. It is proposed that employees who participate in the County's Wellness Program continue to receive a monthly discount of $25 on the employee's portion of the PPO premium. The employee PPO premium is now $106.12 per month. Currently 49 employees are enrolled in the PPO Plan. The HSA Plan is a high deductible health plan that encourages employees to become good consumers of health care services. Currently 315 employees are enrolled in the HSA Plan. The deductible for each employee is $1,500, which means employees are responsible for 100% of all charges incurred up to $1,500 before BCBS pays on claims. It is proposed the current HSA Plan remain the same with a $1,000 contribution by the County for employees who participate in the County's Wellness Program. Non- Participants in the Wellness Program will receive a $700 contribution. The employee's portion of the premium will remain at $0. Pre-sixty-five employees are enrolled in the HSA or PPO until age 65. Post sixty-five retirees of the County are enrolled in the Medicare Advantage Plan (currently Aetna). This plan works in the addendum to Medicare Part A and Part B.
