Plan Performance
Data through March 2024
Executive Summary – Active Employees
On an all-plans combined basis; the plan is running at 77.5% loss ratio (funding vs. expenses).
The Active EPO plan is running with YTD expenses to budget/accrual ratios of 74.2% while the
PPO Plan is running at 81.7%. Keep in mind that the EPO Plan does not have any run-in
claims, so it’s typical for the loss ratio to be lower.
Projected Per Employee Per Month (PEPY) cost is $3,431 (in March 2023, it was $4,481). This
reduction is primarily due to moving away from the fully insured HMO. The City did not have to
pay run out on that plan and claims on the new EPO plan are beginning to ramp up beginning
in March.
Enrollment increased 3% from the prior plan year.
Plan had 10 claimants over $100k year to date, no claimants were more than the $300k stop
loss level.

by calling a designated phone number.
