EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Segal Company was retained by the City of Fort Collins to seek competitive bids for its health
programs. Proposals were requested for PPO, POS and EPO network services, utilization review
(UR), third party administrative (TPA) services, stop -loss insurance, and prescription benefit
management (PBM) services. A primary goal of this competitive bidding process was to seek
medical plan cost savings, while retaining the current benefit coverages.
Thirty-nine (39) requests for proposal (RFPs) were distributed to qualified insurance companies and
vendors. Below is a summary of the responses received.
♦ PPO. POS and EPO Networks: Four proposals were received for the requested managed care
networks: four PPO (Mutual of Omaha, PacifiCare, Sloans Lake, and Spectera (through
Beech Street Corporation)), three POS (Mutual of Omaha, PacifiCare, and Sloans Lake) and
two EPO (Mutual of Omaha and PacifiCare).
♦ TPA: Three quotations were received for medical administrative services (Mutual of Omaha,
National Health Systems, and PacifiCare).
♦ UR: Four quotations were received for UR services (Mutual of Omaha, PacifiCare, Sloans
Lake, and Spectera).
♦ PBM: Eleven quotations were received for prescription benefits (Eckerd, Express
Scripts/ValueRx, King Soopers, Mutual of Omaha, National Medical Health Card, PacifiCare,
PCS HealthSystems, Restat, Rx America, SMC Rx, and WHP Health Initiatives).
♦ Stop -loss: Five proposals were received for stop -loss insurance (American Stop Loss, ING,
Mutual of Omaha, PacifiCare, and Sun Life of Canada).
♦ Two companies declined, while nineteen companies did not respond.
Network Issues
PPO Access
♦ There appear to be only two logical candidates for PPO access - Sloans (the incumbent) and
PacifiCare.
♦ Sloans, as the incumbent, obviously represents the least amount of disruption for employees.
PacifiCare's network includes 83 % of all doctors listed in Sloans' network, and six doctors
which are not in Sloans' network. Of the top 20 Sloans network physicians utilized by City
members, all of them are in PacifiCare's network. Mutual of Omaha and Spectera's networks
represent a greater disruption of the physician network than PacifiCare.
♦ The PPO access fee is better under PacifiCare than Sloans; however, PacifiCare's claims
administration services proposal, which are required to be utilized for the PPO network, is
one of the least competitive.

(3) Fo nala equals (Average Brand Nome Cast x (I - Average Generic Fill Rae)) + (Average Generic Rare x Average Genenc Fill Rae).
(4) Based an Average Weighted Prescription Cost.
♦ Both organizations essentially use a relative fee schedule as the basis for physician
reimbursement. PacifiCare more extensively uses per diems and DRGs than does Sloans for
hospital reimbursement.
♦ Neither Spectera nor PacifiCare provided the requested level of detail in order to make a
thorough assessment of the competitiveness and strength of their network contracts. Sloans
Lake and Mutual of Omaha did provide this information. It appears that neither has a
competitive advantage for hospital services, while Sloans holds a slight advantage for
physician services.
POS/EPO Access
♦ Neither Sloans (POS only) nor Mutual of Omaha (POS and EPO) adequately compare to the
network currently in place through PacifiCare.
♦ PacifiCare recently expanded their capitation arrangements to specialists. They also have
some global reimbursement caps at Poudre Valley Hospital. Again, PacifiCare did not
provide the requested level of detail in order to make a more thorough assessment of the
competitiveness and strength of their network contracts.
♦ PacifiCare's access fees are competitive if the incentive payments are not factored into the
administrative fee.
Utilization Management (UM)
♦ Of the UM bids, two proposals (Mutual of Omaha and PacifiCare) require that they pay
claims.
♦ Upon applying our proprietary UM rating tool, Sloans Lake ranks highest, followed by
Mutual of Omaha, Spectera and PacifiCare.
♦ Sloans Lake quoted the most competitive fees for PPO UM services, followed by Spectera,
Mutual of Omaha, and finally PacifiCare.
♦ While Spectera's fees are the most competitive for POS/EPO UM services, neither of the
POS/EPO network vendors will allow UR to be performed by a competing vendor.
Third Party Administration
♦ Of the three (3) respondents, NHS - the incumbent - offers the most competitive fee quotation
for PPO claims administration, while PacifiCare offers the most competitive POS/EPO claims
administration fee.
2
♦ PacifiCare is not able to offer all of the desired services (e.g., COBRA and HIPAA
administration).
♦ NHS was recently evaluated favorably through a formal claims audit conducted by the City.
♦ NHS's fees are quoted on a mature basis, while other proposers did not factor claims run-in
into their quoted fees.
Stop -Loss
♦ Of the five (5) proposers, American Stop Loss was consistently the most competitive,
followed by ING, for the various scenarios requested.
♦ Mutual and PacifiCare have indicated that they will work with another stop -loss carrier, if
they are selected for the administration and utilization management of the EPO/POS
programs.
♦ Based on the respective quotes by American, it would appear that the optimum stop -loss
attachment point, in terms of cost versus risk, is $120,000.
♦ All of the most competitively priced carriers indicate a willingness to increase the lifetime
maximum under the PPO program to $2,000,000. The additional cost, as applicable, has
been included in the financial analysis (for the $135,000 deductible level only).
Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM)
♦ PCS' bid was deemed non -responsive.
♦ King Soopers did not submit a quotation for PPO retail prescription services.
♦ PacifiCare and Mutual of Omaha are not offering stand-alone prescription quotations;
however, Mutual of Omaha is willing to allow the City to select a prescription benefit
manager of their choice. PacifiCare requires their PBM services for each medical network
product. While we would recommend against carving out PBM services from the EPO/POS
programs, we believe it is appropriate to carve out PBM services for the PPO.
♦ National Medical Health Card appears to the most competitive, based on our weighted scoring
methodology. The next most competitive stand-alone PBMs are Express Scripts and Eckerd.
♦ Eckerd has the greatest number of contracted pharmacies in Fort Collins (25), followed by
Express Scripts (23) and National Medical Health Card (11).
3
♦ National Medical Health Card provides the greatest percentage and dollar of rebates back to
the City, followed by Eckerd and Express Scripts.
♦ National Medical Health Card, Express Scripts and Eckerd have confirmed their ability to
process the current PPO plan design.
Summary
In terms of cost, service, and disruption, it would appear that the vendors best positioned to meet
the City's needs and specifications are:
PPO Network: Sloans Lake
POS/EPO Network: PacifiCare
UM - PPO: Sloan Lake
UM - POS/EPO: PacifiCare
TPA - PPO: NHS
TPA - POS/EPO: PacifiCare
Stop -Loss (all coverages): American Stop Loss
PBM - PPO: National Medical Health Card
PBM - POS/EPO: PacifiCare
Alternative arrangements would include PacifiCare, or Mutual of Omaha as the provider for all
services except stop -loss.
We look forward to reviewing this analysis with the City, and would encourage the City to conduct
reference checks as appropriate.
