♦ 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

♦ Both organizations essentially use a relative fee schedule as the basis for physician
reimbursement PacifiCare more extensively uses per deems 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 PactfiCare) 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-m
into their quoted fees
Ston-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 Sloans 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
