Medical Waive Credit. The County agrees to continue offering a standard medical waive credit to any employee who waives medical insurance through the County. Employees receiving a medical waive credit are not eligible to receive a medical premium reimbursement. In order to receive the standard medical waive credit, the employee must enroll in a non- County qualified medical insurance program, individual or group coverage, meeting minimum standards under the ACA. Employees must complete a County enrollment form waiving County coverage and attach proof of other coverage. The standard medical waive credit will be paid on a post-tax, semi-monthly basis. The amount of the standard medical waive credit is $47.50 monthly for non-management employees and $150.00 monthly for management and confidential employees. Employees may only return to the County medical insurance program during annual open enrollment periods, or anytime the employee experiences a qualifying event (involuntary loss of outside coverage). Employees who enroll in a non-County qualified medical insurance program are not eligible to receive any County provided HSA contributions.

Dental Insurance The County will provide employees with two dental plan options through the Delta Dental program. Employees have the choice of remaining on the “Core” dental plan, meaning no change in benefits, and the County will continue to pay 80% of the premium cost at each level of dental coverage (Employee only, Employee +1 and Family). Alternatively, employees may elect a “Buy-Up” dental plan option, which includes a $500 per member increase to the plan calendar year maximum and a child(ren) orthodontics benefit that pays 50% of orthodontia care up to a lifetime maximum of $2,000 per child. Additionally, the “Buy-Up” dental plan option includes access to the Premier network with claims being paid at the Premier contracted fee without balance billing. Employees who elect the “Buy-Up” dental plan option must remain on the “Buy- Up” dental plan for three (3) years. Any amount of the “Buy-Up” dental premium rate that exceeds the “Core” dental plan premium rate will be paid solely by the employee. The County will continue to establish dental insurance premium rates each year based on actuarial and underwriting recommendations. The County reserves the right to adjust dental insurance premium rates based on these recommendations.
