RE: State of Michigan PA152 for 2022
Attached for your consideration is a resolution to allow Oakland County to opt out of Public Act 152 for
calendar year 2022. PA 152 provides for certain limitations (i.e. caps) on the amount a public employer
may contribute toward the annual cost of employee medical benefits. Each year since the act went into
effect, Oakland County has exercised its legal right to exempt itself from this act.
The annual cap amounts for 2022 were set by the State of Michigan at $7,304.51 for single coverage,
$15,276.01 for two -person coverage and $19,921.45 for family coverage. This represents a 3.7%
increase over 2021 cap levels.
Oakland County is self -insured for the majority of our medical plans, the HR brokerage firm, Segal
completes an actuarial calculation to provide an analysis of costs incurred. Employee medical and
prescription coverage is $63,286,800. The annual cap amount for 2022 based upon the number of
employees enrolled in our medical plans was $50,907,555 thus our costs are currently 13.7% higher
than the cap amounts for 2022.
As we have in the past, the County Executive is recommending to opt out of PA152 for calendar year
2022. At the same time, we are in the process of formulating a five year strategic plan as it relates to
benefits, and aligning employee contributions for healthcare and cost saving measures that work best
for our organization. It is important to note that the decision to opt out of PA152 must be made each
year and brought to the Board of Commissioners on an annual basis.
