Medical Plan Stop Loss Reinsurance RFP
In conjunction with Purchasing and Human Resources, HUB conducted an RFP for Stop Loss Reinsurance for the City’s plan. The RFP was publicly advertised and distributed to all available markets. BCBS (the incumbent carrier) declined to submit a response to the RFP. Large claimants on the plan contributed to the increase in premium and aggregate attachment proposed for 2022-2023. There have been $1,025,346 in specific claim reimbursements paid to the City for plan year to date versus $943,138 in premiums representing a 109% loss ratio for the plan.
The most competitive proposal was submitted through SA Benefit Services / Granular with a +25.57% increase in premium cost, from $1,245,054 to $1,563,449 and +29.49% increase in aggregate claims maximum liability for the plan, $8,094,861 to $10,481,851.
Stealth Partners / Voya, after receiving claimant information, declined to submit firm and final numbers.
