ITEM 4.8. <br />MEMORANDUM <br />of.1+s. <br />River TO: Mayor & City Council ,~, In <br />FROM: Lori Johnson, Assistant City Administrator ~~/ <br />DATE: June 26, 1995 <br />SUBJECT: Dental Insurance Contract <br />At the last Council meeting, the health insurance contract was awarded to Medica for <br />coverage starting August 1. At that time I indicated that a change in dental insurance may <br />also be necessary. Our current coverage is with HealthPartners; however, HealthPartners <br />does not write dental as a stand alone policy. <br />Both Medica and Delta Dental indicated an interest in our group. To date only Medica <br />has submitted a quote for coverage starting August 1. The coverage would be similar to <br />the coverage we currently have with HealthPartners. Of course the network of dentists <br />will change. The employees have been made aware of the upcoming change, and since <br />most,if not all, of the dentists in Elk River, Zimmerman and Princeton are part of the <br />network there are no real concerns relating to the change. <br />• <br />The current and proposed rates are as follows: <br />Single Family <br />HealthPartners $21.63 $54.05 <br />Medica $16.10 $45.90 <br />Delta $N/A $N/A <br />Action Requested <br />The Council is asked to approve a the Medica Dental insurance contract for the period <br />beginning August 1, 1995, at the rates listed above. If Delta submits quotes before the <br />meeting and the rates are lower than Media's, the Council will be asked to approve a <br />contract with Delta. That information will be presented verbally on Monday. <br />• <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 490 • Elk River, MN 55330 • (612) 441-7420 • Fax: (612) 441-7425 <br />
