OK, so then that will bring us to our presentation and recommendations. We will first have a presentation on the City of Santa Fe Health Insurance renewal. Aon Consulting. Mr. Chairman, can I get a spelling of Aon please? Capital A, then small letter O and small letter NAON. OK. And may I ask for the for the presentation to be emailed to me, please? Yes, we will do that. Thank. Thank you. OK. I believe Miss Mintanya, will you be making the presentation? Yes. I'll take the lead. And then I've got Todd Burley. Elizabeth. His last name spelling is Burley. Thank you. That was Todd. He is our senior financial manager in our office and he will probably help to address a few of the slides. So everyone who has the the presentation, I'm going to begin on slide 3. This is just an overview of the summary. You know the ask is to renew your contract with Cigna. Your as a reminder, you are a self funded program and as such your medical renewal has three pieces. You have your administrative costs that you pay Cigna to administer your plan, provide customer service, pay your claims and then you have the stop loss piece. This is the insurance to protect the city against any large claims or an excess amount of claims. And then you have the money you set aside to pay for claims as a self funded program. So your administrative costs are go are a 5.8% increase. The stop loss is a nine percent increase. And then overall with what we projected for claims increase, we're looking at an overall 9.4% increase. We'll go into a little bit more in depth into these numbers. Your dental program is also self funded. The that plan is running really well. So at this time we're recommending no change in the funding to that program. If we move to slide 4, this gives you an overview of the cost. Now this is the total cost of your program. So this includes what the city of Santa Fe contributes towards the cost and what the employees also contribute if they are contributing to any of the programs through their payroll deductions. So you can see in line 2, we have your medical program cost in Column B. This is the estimated current cost for the 2019-2020 plan year. Column C would be the total projected cost for the 20/20/21 plan year. Column D shows the percent difference and Column E is the dollar amount difference between what you're currently paying per year to what it would go up to. Mr. Chair and done. Just curious if you could share the screen as to what you're talking about if possible so that online YouTube folks will know what you're referring to since it is a public document. Sure, let me select my screen to share. Don, can I ask two questions, Mr. Chair? Yes, go ahead. Councilwoman Romero Ward. So I assume that this is the cost of renewal with the plan as it is, this is without making any changes that are selected late that are outlined later, correct? That is correct. And then also this is these, the cost of renewal is current and is there any notion that it might change or between now and when we actually renew? No, we went through and did it. We went back through, looked at your claims to update everything with more current claims information. And so we don't expect any changes from what we're presenting today. OK, thank you, Mr. Chair. OK, Mr. Chair, yes, council is to ask questions as we go through the slides or at the end or if we have questions on a specific slide. What's the I I think let's ask on a specific slide. Yeah, but I can't see everybody. So just like you've been doing just. OK. I know, John, I know you're trying to find the view out there. That looks great. I do have a question on stop loss, but I'll wait till you get to that section. Thank you. OK, so when this first row is your total medical plan cost, so it contains your fixed cost, your stopwatch insurance cost and then the amount of money you're putting aside to pay claims. CNC current spend is roughly 20 million, a little over 20 million projected to to go up to 21 million, 937. So it's a 9.4% increase of and it's a difference of 1.8 million, almost 1.9 million in the blue we broke out. So you could see the difference between what is going towards your fixed class, which includes the administrative cost that you paid a Cigna and your stop loss and then what you're putting aside for funding to pay towards claims. So you can see that make up row 5 is your dental cost. Again, we projected the plan is running really well. We actually are projecting costs to be down. So we're we're recommending that you make no changes to your funding. So that way you're able to contribute to your reserve, your life insurance. There is when you see these numbers here, you're going to see a big, a pretty big percentage increase. But what we did is in working with the HR team is look at a benefit change and a a structural change compared to what you're doing with your life insurance today. I have in a later slide, I have more information about that. So we'll hang on to that thought and we'll get back to it when we get to that slide. And then your dependent life. Then beginning on row 10 through 14. These are all voluntary programs. So these are programs where the employees pay 100% of his premiums. The vision is having a slight increase of 3%. It's a annual difference of $5657.
During a meeting, the chairman proposed an amendment to the agenda, shifting the health insurance renewal presentation to item 8A and the budget update to 8B to allow more discussion time. The consent agenda and the minutes from the March 30th, 2020 Finance Committee meeting were approved without changes following roll call votes. Subsequently, a presentation on the City of Santa Fe Health Insurance renewal by Aon Consulting took place.
The presentation highlighted the renewal of the self-funded medical and dental programs with Cigna, detailing a 9.4% increase in medical plan costs, including administrative expenses, stop-loss insurance, and projected claims, bringing the total to approximately $21.9 million. The dental program funding remains stable with no changes needed. A review indicated no changes in current claims and cost projections before the renewal. The speaker provided an overview of costs and answered questions about the renewal’s financial implications. Additionally, it was noted that while voluntary programs like vision insurance would experience a minor 3% increase, significant structural adjustments might occur in the life insurance plan.
