?CL INSURANCE FUND
The City of Fort Worth's health benefits program is self-funded and utilizes a third party administrator
to process claims. The City's program also employs a financial back stop in the form of third-party
specific stop loss insurance, which is used to defray costs when claims are higher than anticipated for
an individual program participant.
The Group Health and Life Insurance Fund provides funds for the health insurance for employees,
retirees, and their dependents, basic life insurance for employees and funding for the Employees'
Wellness Program. Expenditures are dependent on the aggregate cost of annual claims. The Fund's
revenues come from active employee and retiree contributions, contributions from City funds, interest
on investments, rebates on prescription drugs used and a subsidy from the Retiree Drug Subsidy
(RDS) program of the Social Security.
The significant changes to the department, both in authorized positions and budget, are as follows:
• FY2001: The adopted budget increased by $2.2.M due to a 16.6% increase in total
expenditures. The increases are related to a nine percent increase in the health maintenance
organization (HMO) and preferred provider organization (PPO) benefits, 12.3% increase in
funds budgeted to finance the City's self-funded plan and stop loss insurance premiums and an
increase in the total number of active and retired employees covered through the City's plan.
• FY2002: Three positions were added to support the Employee Wellness Program initiated by
the City. The adopted budget increased by $12.2M due to increased costs of healthcare and
implementation of the City's program to self-insure for the medical benefits it offers City
employees, retirees and their eligible spouses and/or dependents.
• FY2003: The adopted budget increased by $7.8M and decreased by (3) APs. The personnel
changes were mainly due to the transfer of three Wellness Program employees to the Human
Resources department. The costs increased based on group health insurance and healthcare
cost increases for the year. Also, this was the second year that the City was self-insured for the
medical benefits it offers City employees, retirees and their eligible spouses and/or dependents.
• FY2004: The adopted budget increased by $2.5M and 3 APs. The personnel changes are due
to transferring the three employees from Human Resources-Wellness program back to the fund
due to the functionality of the program. The budget increase is based on an increase in the
number of participants enrolled and anticipated FY2003-04 healthcare cost increases.
• FY2005: The adopted budget increased by $3.5M and 5 APs. The increase in personnel is
related to the transfer of positions from Human Resources for the alignment of job
responsibilities to overseeing the administration of the fund. The budget increase is based on
an increase in the number of participants enrolled and anticipated FY2004-05 healthcare cost
increases.
