ST ANALYSIS
The Ci ty of Englewood has established medical and dental insurance premiums for 1994 .
Premiums for the seli-funded med ical and dental programs and Comprecare each reflect an
increase of 12.5% over the 1993 rates. These increases are being impleme nted in order to
ensure full funding of the level of health care benefits provided to the City's employees .
The cost of medical and dental care provided through the self-insured programs has
increased at average annual rates of 15% and 9% per employee, respective ly. This A experience is below the industry norms as a result of efforts to control costs through W emphasis on programs such as employee wellness. Cost control measures, coupled with the
previous increase in the premium rates charged for this benefit, which were implemented in
1990, have allowed the City to carry the 1990 rates forward through 1993, except for a five A ,
percent decrease in the 1992 medical rates . Despite continueJ emphasis on cost controls, V
the 1990 level rates are insufficient to <aver anticipated 1994 costs .
Prem iums paid to Comprecare ha ve dem,:mstrated trends similar to our experience in the
sell-funded medical plan. Rate, charged to employees reflect t:,~se incrtases as well as
costs associated with administering the program .
