Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
1. Establish the 2018 health savings account (HSA) contribution for enrollees of the City’s high deductible health plan (HDHP). In 2018, the following HSA contribution structure is recommended:
i. For employees electing the single HDHP: for every $12.50 per month the employee deposits into their HSA, the City will provide a 2:1 match to a maximum of $25 per month for a maximum annual contribution of $300 from the City.
ii. For employees enrolling dependents on the HDHP: for every $37.50 per month the employee deposits into their HSA, the City will provide a 2:1 match to a maximum of $75 per month for a maximum annual contribution of $900 from the City.
2. Current definition of a dependent is vague and leaves the definition up to each insurance carrier’s policy language. Adding a code based definition in ordinance will standardize the definition across all insurance carriers.
3. Establish the 2018 wellness incentive for civilian employees who participate in the wellness program administered by the Office of Human Resources prior to the program deadline of October 31, 2017, beginning in 2018:
i. For DHMO participants: $25 per month premium reduction.
ii. HDHP participants: $25 per month health savings account contribution.
