Agenda Item Text:
Approve the proposed Health Care Benefit Cost Share between Cochise County and County Employees for plan year 2021-2022, and the County's portion of the 2021-2022 Cochise Combined Trust budget.
Background:
In January, the Cochise Combined Trust, which includes Cochise County, Cochise College, and Central Arizona College, voted unanimously to approve a benefit and rate structure plan for plan year 2021-2022. Through the Trust, Cochise County offers four medical/prescription plans to its employees: EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization), Buy-Up EPO, HDHP (High Deductible Health Plan), and a Buy-Up HDHP. The county also offers a vision and dental plan to its employees.
For plan year 2021-2022, premium rate increases are negligible. During this meeting, the Board will be asked to approve the premium rate cost share split between the county and employees, and to approve the county's share of the CCT budget.
