IN RE: FRINGE BENEFITS - IMPLEMENTATION OF PREFERRED PROVIDER
ORGANIZATION (PPO) HEALTH COVERAGE, MISCELLANEOUS
RESOLUTION # 92 143
The Finance Committee has reviewed Miscellaneous Resolution
#92 and finds:
1. The Fringe Benefits Review Committee is recommending that
the County implement a Preferred Provider Organization
(PPO) health care option.
2. It is estimated (dependent on employee participation,
claim type and utilization) that such a program will
result in a 6% minimum cost reduction in Blue Cross, a 6%
minimum cost reduction in prescriptions and a cost
reduction for physicians.
3. The Personnel Department and Risk Management have met
with representatives of Blue Cross/Blue Shield and
believes that the implementation of a PPO is feasible.
4. The option would be self-funded through Blue Cross/Blue
Shield and enrollments would be handled in the same
manner as the traditional plan.
5. Effective January 1, 1993, Oakland County implement an
additional health care option known as a Preferred
Provider Organization (PPO).
