Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On December 19, 2017 the Board approved Agreement No. 17-158.
Summary of Request:
Vision Service Plan (VSP) has been providing a vision insurance plan to County employees since 2016. The plan provides high quality cost effective care for employees and their dependents. VSP has the nation’s largest network of independent doctor’s allowing members to save when they choose a provider within the VSP network. A member may also choose to use an out-of-network provider but may incur higher out of pocket expenses.
In 2020 the County’s health plan consultant, Keenan & Associates, performed a full market analysis on behalf of the County’s self-funded health plan. Only three (3) vendors responded but their responses were to decline to quote as they felt they could not compete with VSP. VSP has guaranteed the Per Employee Per Month (PEPM) premium rate through calendar year 2023. Staff is also requesting Board authorization for the Human Resources Director to approve future amendments that do not exceed a 10% increase to the annual premium amount.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to Human Resources with further direction.
