THE CHAIR

Title

Resolution authorizing the Department of Employee Relations to extend a contract for one year only through December 31, 2010 with UnitedHealthcare for insured health maintenance medical services only.  

 

Body

Whereas, The City of City of Milwaukee has sent out a request for proposal for insured HMO medical services to four vendors; and

 

Whereas, Only UnitedHealthcare (UHC) has responded with an insured HMO services proposal; and

 

Whereas, The UHC offer of 20.4% is reasonable in light of the cost and utilization by City employees, retirees and dependents enrolled in UHC Choice plan; and

 

Whereas, The City Review Team and the City consultant, Willis of Wisconsin, have reviewed this proposal and support the recommendation; and

 

Whereas, The City Review Team also considered a “self-insured” exclusive provider network option (EPO) but found no clear costs savings to the City by switching to a self-funded model at this time; and

 

Whereas, A “self-funded” EPO style plan would increase the financial risk to the City; and

 

Whereas, The City, under current labor contracts is not able to select a self-funded EPO model plan; and

 

Whereas, The costs for the carved out, self-funded drug plan and the self-funded Basic Plan are not increasing; and

 

Whereas, Additional steps at controlling health care costs and sharing health care premium costs with employees are being implemented; now, therefore, be it

 

Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Department of Employee Relations  is authorized to enter into a contract extension, or amendment to agreement, with UHC to provide insured health maintenance medical services in 2010.
