| BACKGROUND: |
On June 10, 2013, the Board approved a three-year Annual Accounting and Retention Agreement (Pro-Share Contract) for the period beginning October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2015 with BlueCross and BlueShield of Florida (Florida Blue). On July 24, 2014, the Board accepted a renewal with Florida Blue that extended the health care Contract and Pro-Share Agreement to December 2015. Under this and preceding Pro-Share Agreements, the County received 75% reimbursement of premiums paid in excess of the targeted costs of the Agreement for a three year period.
The County bid its health insurance in 2015, and on August 20, 2015, awarded Florida Blue the health care Contract. Part of the Florida Blue proposal was to amend the Pro-Share Agreement so that the County would receive 100% of the Gain Share for the final year of the Pro-Share Agreement (January 2015 - December 2015). This action is to formally approve the amended Pro-Share Agreement to secure the increased reimbursement as provided in the Florida Blue proposal.
