Medical Insurance Changes 2023/2024 - Message from the City Manager
Medical Insurance Changes 2024/2025 - Message from the City Manager
The Fiscal Year 2025 health plan begins July 1 and includes changes that I would like to make you aware of. Some of these changes were driven by continued increases to medical and prescription costs. These increases are not sustainable for the City’s self-insured health fund. I engaged in discussions with the Benefits Committee, representing both labor union and non-represented employees, to better understand your concerns before making my recommendations. To preserve the health of our plan, I ultimately recommended changes that were then approved by Mayor and Council. Please review the plan changes so that you can make informed decisions during the upcoming open enrollment period.
The FY25 plan year includes:
- Rate increases for medical coverage will be shared by the City and employees/retirees for the Network and HRA plans; the HSA plan will have no increase
- Changes to benefits for the Network and HRA plans
- The enhanced City contribution* and front loading to the HRA and HSA plans—with continual education and understanding, we hope to see more employees migrate to the HSA plan
- The HSA plan allows employees to save for retirement using the funds for medical expenses and/or Medicare premiums.
- Offering the new retiree HSA plan, with no City contribution, will allow pre-65 retirees an option to save for future medical expenses and/or Medicare premiums
- Rate increase of 4% for dental coverage will be covered by the City for employees and retirees
*City contributions will revert to the original City contributions for FY26.
The FY25 open enrollment period is May 1 to May 31 and is a positive enrollment, which requires all employees and retirees who are currently covered on a City medical plan to re-enroll to have coverage for the FY25 plan year. Coverage will be effective July 1, 2024.Viewed 18,462 times
