Mejia, Personnel Administrator/.~y~ RE: Health Insurance Attached is an excerpt from the City of Iowa City Employee Handbook that briefly describes information regarding the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Health Insurance benefit provided to .City employees. If Council members are allowed to participate in the City's group plan at their own expense, the coverage will be available on January 1, 2004. I am unable to give you the cost, as rates have not been determined for the plan year. To give you an idea of the cost, rates are currently $236.07 per month for single coverage and $689.33 per month for family coverage. If a Council member participates in the City's group plan, such participation will terminate when Council membership terminates. At the time of termination of insurance a Council member would be eligible for COBRA coverage which allows them to continue on the plan for another 18 months at their expense. At the end of COBRA coverage it would then be necessary to secure other insurance subject to the rates and coverage limitations of such plan. If you have questions or would like more detailed information, please contact me at 356-5026.
