Hopkins <br /> San Marcos, Texas 78666 <br /> Dear Cheryl: <br /> . . <br /> The Romine Group, Inc. (TRG) is pleased to offer the following recommendations for products and <br /> services for the Invitation For Bid Specification Number 96-041 dated May 6, 1996: <br /> 1. Claims adjudication of medical and dental benefits for the City's self-funded plan including: <br /> . Stop Loss . <br /> . Utilization Review <br /> . Prescription Drug Program . ... .0- -. - <br /> . PPO Network Access <br /> . -.' <br /> Low Bid: - Texas Municipal League <br /> Responsibility of Bidder: Accepted <br /> - . Bid Specifications Met: Yes <br /> Recommended: Yes <br /> I Comments: TML bid a PPO p~ally-funded benefits package in compliance <br /> ¡ <br /> with requested specifications for all covered PPO and HMO <br /> "-- <br /> employees and their dependents. This arrangement is a departure <br /> from the current combination of a partially self-funded PPO plan <br /> and a fully insured HMO. The maximum liability rate for TML's <br /> 15/12 contract using a $40,000 individual stop-loss for all <br /> employees and dependents is substantially less ($396,000) than <br /> the next comparable partially self-funded contract written in <br /> conjunction with the lower bid HMO. TML's stop-loss and <br /> attachment factors are remarkably low in comparison to other <br /> bids which raises concerns about the credibility of those factors at <br /> renewal; however, they are a responsible bidder that met all bid <br /> request specifications. <br /> E It P L ft Y £ E BEIEFITS 1£5151 i "R 1 R & E " E .
