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 <br />Employee <br />Only <br />Employee & one <br />Dependent <br />Employee & two or <br />more Dependents <br />Blue Shield Access+ HMO <br />$643.93 <br />$1287.86 <br />$1674.22 <br />Blue Shield NetValue <br />$550.03 <br />$1100.06 <br />$1430.08 <br />Kaiser <br />$558.95 <br />$1117.90 <br />$1453.27 <br />PERSCare <br />$992.61 <br />$1985.22 <br />$2580.79 <br />PERSChoice <br />$611.30 <br />$1222.60 <br />$1589.38 <br />PERSSelect <br />$446.49 <br />$892.98 <br />$1160.87 <br />PORAC safet members <br />$581.00 <br />$1088.00 <br />$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.
