Medical/Dental. A. A mutual goal of the County and the Union is to limit and manage the impacts of health plan costs on both County employees and the County’s budget.
1. The County and the Union agree to continue during the terms of the MOU, to meet and work on long term options for payment of health care costs. For the term of this MOU, the parties agree to implement a standardized cost sharing for the health insurance premium contribution rates, with the County paying eighty percent (80%) of the premium for full-time employees and the employee paying twenty percent (20%) of the premium.
2. Health care coverage is on a calendar year (January 1 – December 31). Rates for the ensuing calendar year shall be effective upon approval by the Board of Supervisors, but no earlier than the pay period containing December 1. Rates will be unblended.
3. Effective the pay period containing December 1, the contributions shall be per the health plan published rates.
4. The OE3 Trust Health Plan currently offers members two health plan options, Plan A and Plan B. For the term of this MOU, the County will make these plans available to bargaining unit members and will work with OE3 Trust to explore and potentially add additional plan options. The County contribution levels to the OE3 Trust Health Plans will be the same amount as provided to similar County health plans (e.g., Blue Shield 200 to Plan A and Kaiser to Plan B), but will not exceed the OE3 Trust Health plans actual cost. If additional plans are offered during the term of this MOU, the County and Union will meet and confer over negotiable changes. Costs for the OE3 Trust Health Plans are determined solely by the OE3 health plan administrator. Following the Board of Supervisors’ approval of the MOU, a one-time double health insurance premium deduction will be deducted from each current employee’s pay (or until paid in full) that is enrolled in an OE3 sponsored health plan and as necessary for future changes related to qualifying events. Employees who are hired after the Board of Supervisors’ have approved the MOU, OE3 sponsored health plan premium deductions will begin the first pay period after enrollment election made within enrollment time period. Payroll may double deduct premiums in consecutive pay periods based on when employee elects coverage. If enrolled, health insurance benefits will go into effect the first day of the month following hire.
