Employee Group Insurance Renewals <br />August 6, 2012 <br />Page 3 <br />CalPERS Health Program <br />The CalPERS basic HMO health plans will increase by 8.7% and the basic PPO health plans will <br />increase by 13.9%. The increase reflects growing health care costs nationwide. The City will incur <br />a 9% increase in costs for all bargaining units that are tied to the Kaiser rate for the City <br />contribution and a 7.3% increase in costs for SEIU because the City contribution is tied to the <br />lowest HMO rate. There will not be any increase in City contribution to the POA medical <br />contribution for 2013. The employees will pick up any increase in cost above the City contribution. <br />Plan Employee <br />Only Employee & one <br />Dependent Employee & two or <br />more Dependents <br />Blue Shield Access+ HMO $643.93 $1287.86 $1674.22 <br />Blue Shield NetValue $550.03 $1100.06 $1430.08 <br />Kaiser $558.95 $1117.90 $1453.27 <br />PERSCare $992.61 $1985.22 $2580.79 <br />PERSChoice $611.30 $1222.60 $1589.38 <br />PERSSelect $446.49 $892.98 $1160.87 <br />PORAC safet members $581.00 $1088.00 $1382.00 <br />Employee Assistance Program - REACH Employee/Associate Assistance <br />The City is entering into the second year of a three-year rate guarantee with REACH Employee <br />Assistance Program.
