Employee Association and Employees Insurance Committee
Medical and Life Insurance carrier recommendation
Antiiroved.
Assistant City Manager Mike DiTullio read from a prepared report which included
in part, the follows:
it The budget approved by the City Council for 1973 contained funds
to purchase a new comprehensive medical insurance program for
municipal employees. Specifically, the Council authorized ex-
penditures up to $35 for family medical coverage and provided
funds to pay for one-half of the premium of a term life policy
equal to the employees' annual salary.
Since November, the staff and the members of the insurance com-
mittee, who were selected from the Employees Committee, developed
specifications for the insurance program. The primary objectives
of the specifications were to:
1. Provide the most comprehensive insurance package
for the employees and the city.
2. Remain within the $35 per family limit asset by
City Council.
3. Promote the most efficient medical coverage by
emphasizing outpatient services coverage.
4. Reduce the cost of medical services by utilizing
the "Peer" review concept.
5. Reduce cost of the total program by including the
life insurance feature as part of the composite
package. t;
Mr. DiTullio further reviewed the four companies who submitted quotations for
medical. and life insurance (1) Pacific Mutual, (2) Farmers Group Insurance,
(3) ?iospital Service, Inc., (4) Blue Cross Blue Shield. Bids were received and
open^d on February 26, 1973 at 1:30 P.M.
Leng".hy discussion followed with Dr. Harry L. Ferguson speaking to the
Peer Review and the Foundation Plan. Local agents and agents for various
comp�;nies also spoke to the specifications and options of individual plans.
Councilman Preble inquired into the Lack of maternity benefits and was
assu"ed the insurance committee would continue to work on this aspect of the
grog, aui.
,14embers of the Employees Association also spoke to the desires of the
employees relative to the specifications as drawn.
Councilman Russell inquired if the recommended carrier would have an office
in Fort Collins and was assured that if they did not provide a local office,
they would not receive the bid. It was also established this was a one year
contract.
