Agenda Item Text:
Approve the Cochise Combined Trust premium rate structure for medical, dental and vision benefits for fiscal year 2022-2023.
Background:
In January, Cochise Combined Trust, which includes Cochise County, Cochise College, and Central Arizona College, voted unanimously to approve a benefit and rate structure plan for fiscal year 2022-2023. Through the Trust, Cochise County will offer three medical/prescription plans to its employees: EPO (Exclusive Provider Organization), Buy-Up EPO, and an HDHP (High Deductible Health Plan). The county also offers a vision and dental plan to its employees which had no rate changes.
For fiscal year 2022-2023, premium rate increases are negligible.
