On <br />October 26, 2001, the City received notice from PEIP that the renewal rates for 2002 were to <br />increase by 19.5 percent with no guaranteed rate in the second year of the contract. (PEIP <br />requires participation for a two-year term). The current plan is a $10-copayment, $15 <br />prescription copayment, 100 percent hospitalization plan. With the termination of the existing <br />health insurance contract, the increase in rates, and pending contract renewals for both the <br />AFSCME and LELS bargaining units, it seemed to be the opportune time to reexamine the City's <br />health insurance and consider other options. Staff contacted T.C. Field & Company for <br />assistance in obtaining bids from health insurance carriers. They contacted three carriers for <br /> <br />Personnel Committee/November 27, 2001 <br /> Page 1 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
