CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH
INTER -DEPARTMENT COMMUNICATION
HUMnYNGTON BEACH
To Honorable Mayor and City Council From Edward H. Thompson
Director, Personnel and
Labor Relations
Subject RETIREE MEDICAL INSURANCE Date March 1, 1979
In accordance with your request, I propose that all retirees be eligible to continue
participating in the group medical insurance at current rates along the following lines.
1. Employees retiring January 1, 1979 and subsequent, would be given the choice
at the time of leaving whether they wish to remain in the plan or not and would
be asked to sign a positive statement indicating their preference. They would
be eligible to continue coverage on the some basis they currently have, that is,
employee only, employee and one dependent or employee and two or more. No
health statements would be required.
2. Employees who have retired prior to January 1, 1979 will all be contacted
individually by the Personnel Department and the program will be explained to
them. They will be given an option as to whether they wish to be participants in
the group medical plan and if so, they will be required to complete health
statements for each individual who would be covered. If the retiree is found
ineligible due to his health statement, he and his dependents would not be
eligible for the coverage. In the event only a dependent of a retiree would be
found ineligible due to health statement, the retiree could stil I participate. We
would complete this process within 30-60 days dependent on the rapidity with
which Blue Cross could process and approve or disapprove the health
statements. Once the option is offered, the retiree will have no other options
available to him. Once the coverage is approved by Blue Cross, the coverage
would be effective the first of the month following approval or at some other
date specified by Blue Cross.
3. All retirees, whether it be for normal service retirement or for some form of
disability retirement would be equally eligible.
4. The eligibility for coverage shall automatically cease when the retiree becomes
eligible for medicare. We do not plan to contact those retirees who would now
be eligible for medicare due to their age.
5. The retirees would be charged the current rates being paid in the group and any
future adjustments would be passed on to the retiree for his payment. The
claims and premiums shal I be monitored and reviewed very carefully by the
Personnel Department on a monthly basis, and appropriate recommendations
will be made in the event it appears that the claims experience is rapidly
outstripping the premium money available to pay claims. Blue Cross will

611
Honorable Mayor & City Council (2)
March 1, 1979
establish a separate suffix to include all retirees. All premiums and claims will
be charged to that particular suffix so as to separate the premium and claims
from the regular group. The intent is of course, to make this coverage available
to retirees and their dependents at no cost to the City. Close monitoring will
be absolutely essential.
6. All retirees are expected to pay premiums in advance. If they should become in
arrears, they wil I be notified and will have an opportunity to pay up their
premiums; however, if this is not forthcoming, they will be canceled
automatically and so notified. Once a retiree and his dependents are dropped
from the coverage for any reason whatsoever, they wi II not be eligible for
further participation in the coverage.
7. The Family Health Plan will work out similar arrangements to those noted
above for individuals who wish to remain with the Family Health Plan as
retirees.
8. All policies with Blue Cross and Family Health Plan will be modified
accordingly to prevent any future problems as to eligibility, premiums and
claims service.
The Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS) will provide to us a list of all
retirees receiving benefits who will be notified by the Personnel Department as to the
eligibility and the various requirements for this program. I will keep you advised as we
proceed in implementing this very valuable benefit for our retirees.
Blue Cross has tentatively agreed to the program outlined above and has promised they
will have additional material to me by either Friday or Monday and I will update you as
the material is received. I would appreciate your comments regarding the program and
if there are any questions, please let me know as soon as possible so we may implement
the plan immediately.
