Health Benefit Plan
The current Health Benefit Plan for the City of Moorpark is due to
expire on June 30, 1988. The City Staff has therefore been working
·with the City's broker to obtain new quotes for the upcoming fiscal
year. The broker has been able to provide the City with several
alternatives for both health and dental coverage. Attached as Exhibit
11 A II is a brief description of the premium rates and coverage for each
of the plans reviewed and discussed with the employees as part of the
"meet and confer" process.
As indicated on Exhibit II A 11 , the Health Benefit Plans under review
offered several alternatives of combined programs for both medical and
dental, as well as prescription drug card availability. After review
with the City employees, the employees concur with the Staff
recommendation of the combined coverage of First Farwest for medical
coverage and Bankers of Nebraska for dental coverage. This plan will
increase the cost of Health Benefit Plan coverage by 2% to 5% for the
next fiscal year and these rates will be in effect for one full year as
opposed to the six-month quote obtained during the last Health Benefit
Plan review. These increased figures are currently included in the
proposed budget.
The City Staff is requesting authorization from the City Council to
enter into an agreement with First Far West and Bankers of Nebraska for
medical and dental coverage respectively. All other facets of the
Health Benefit Plan, such as the LTD coverage and vision coverage,
will remain the same.
