Is there any wiggle room at the local level for increasing individual and family health insurance deductibles?
The City is receiving bids on several health insurance plans for FY2010 (the insurance is re-bid annually). The Mayor and the citywide Insurance Advisory Committee are looking at all the bids in terms of increase in premium and services provided. It may be the case that one plan or another will have a different level of deductible for a different cost, and the IAC will have to decide what plan is best on balance for the city and its employees. The Mayor has asked all the city’s labor unions to open negotiations to discuss the possibility of employees paying a larger percentage share of their health insurance.
