Presentation of Health Care Plan with Insurance Committee and Superintendent Recommendation of going Self Insured with Florida Blue and FLEHT oversight
body
Executive Summary
The Director of Labor Relations & Professional Standards, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby informs the Board of the insurance committee recommendation and the Superintendent’s recommendation for the health care plan for 2027. The recommendation of the insurance committee and the Superintendent is to become self-insured under Florida Blue providing ASO, PBM, and Stop/Loss Coverage with coordination and oversight of FLEHT. Due to the high cost of the increase for fully insured and/or the suggested rate to fund the plan with self-insurance, plan changes were reviewed and recommended by the insurance committee to have a reduced increase than originally discussed. The Board is also supporting the reduced increase compared to the original numbers by the designation of the assigned health funds to support the transition to self-insurance as it acts as a contingency to pay claims if needed and raises the confidence level of the model.
