STAFF ANALYSIS
The City of Englewood has established medical and dental insurance premiums for 1994 .
Premium s for th e self-funded medical and dental programs and Comprecare each reflect an
increase of 12 .5% ove r the ;993 rates . The se increases are being implemented in order to
ensure full funding 0f the le vel o f heal th care benefits provided to th e City 's em'.'loyees .
Th e cos t of medical and dental care provided thro ugh th e self-insured pro•;rams has
inc,eased at average annual rates ol 15% and 9% per employee, respectively . Th is
exp erience is below the industry norms as a result of efforts to control_ costs through
emphasis on programs such as employee wellness . Cost control measures, coupled with the
previous increase in the premium rate s charged for this benefit, which were implemented in
1990, have allowed the City to ca rry th e 1990 rates forward through 1993, ex cept for a five
percent decrea se in th e 1992 medical rates . De spite continued emphasis on cost controls,
the 1990 level rates are insufficient to cover anticipated 1994 costs.
Premiums paid to Comprecare ha ve demonstrateci trends si milar to o ur expe rien ce in the
self-funded medical plan . Rates charged to employees renect th ese increases as well as
co ts assoc iated with adr,1inistering the program .
