ORDINANCE

REVISIONS TO THE HEALTH PLAN SECTION OF THE UNAFFILIATED
EMPLOYEES PERSONNEL POLICIES

CITY OF NASHUA

in the Year Two Thousand and Twenty

The City of Nashua ordains that Part I “Administrative Legislation,” Chapter 50
“Personnel”, Article I “General Provisions”, Section 50-6 “Merit system for personnel
administration pursuant to Charter §86-a” of the Nashua Revised Ordinances, as amended, be
hereby further amended by deleting the struck-through language and adding the new underlined
language as follows:

“§ 50-6. Merit system for personnel administration pursuant to Charter §86-a,

A. The “City of Nashua Unaffiliated Employees Personnel Policies”, dated January,
2048 July 1, 2020, is hereby adopted. These personnel policies are the merit system
for personnel administration required by Charter §86-a.”

The proposed changes to the “City of Nashua Unaffiliated Employees Personnel Policies”
currently dated January 1, 2018, are as follows:

In Section II “Benefits”, Subsection C “Insurances”, Item 1 “Health Plan”, add the
following new underlined language:

“1. Health Plan

Health insurance is available to employees regularly scheduled to work twenty (20) or
more hours per week. Full-time employees (regularly scheduled to work forty (40) hours
per week) contribute twenty percent (20%) of the working premium for the Health
Maintenance Organization (HMO) and High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) options,
and thirty percent (30%) of the premium for the Point of Service Plan (POS). The City
contributes on a prorated basis for employees scheduled to work less than forty (40)
hours per week. Prorating examples follow:

ORDINANCE O-20-011

+ 20 hours weekly = 20 (hours) / 40 (hours) = .5 x 80% = 40% City contribution and
60% employee contribution.

+ 30 hours weekly = 30 / 40 = .75 x 80% = 60% City contribution and 40% employee
contribution.

Effective July 1. 2020, the following changes will be made to the Health Maintenance
Organization (HMO) Plan:

* $20 co-pay increase to $25.

* $250 individual / $500 2-person or family inpatient / outpatient deductible increase to
$1,500 / $3,000.

* Pharmacy copays increase from $5/$15/$35 ($5/$30/$70 mail order) to $10/$30/$50
($20/$60/$100 mail order),

The deductibles in the High Deductible Health Plan with Health Savings Account (HDHP

w/ H.S.A.) are unchanged. Deductibles remain at $2,000 individual / $4,000 2-person or

family. The City’s contributions to Health Savings Accounts remain at $1,500 individual

/ $3,000 2-person or family.

Effective July 1, 2020, the City H.S.A. contribution will be distributed in 2 installments.
one on or about July 1 and one on or about October 1, provided however that if an
employee is required to pay more towards his / her deductible than the initial 50%
contribution, upon presentation of suitable documentation, the City will contribute the

remaining 50% before October 1.

Employees who join the HDHP w/ ELS.A. at any time other than July 1 will receive a
pro-rated City contribution of $125 monthly for a single plan and $250 monthly for 2-
person or family plan for each full month remaining in that fiscal year.

Coverage for new employees is available on the 1° of the next month following date of
hire if hired on or before the 15" of the month; and on the 1" of the month following a
full month of employment if hired after the 15"" of the month. Employees who do not
enroll on their initial eligibility date may subsequently only do so during the annual open
enrollment period or following a “qualifying event.”

These changes to the Unaffiliated Employees Personnel Policies shall take effect on July 1,
2020.

LEGISLATIVE YEAR 2020

ORDINANCE: 0-20-011

PURPOSE: Revisions to the Health Plan section of the Unaffiliated
Employees Personnel Policies

ENDORSER(): Mayor Jim Donchess

COMMITTEE

ASSIGNMENT:

FISCAL NOTE: This legislation changes the design of the HMO health plan for

unaffiliated employees and it is anticipated that these changes
will reduce the health care claims charged to the City. The
reduction in the amount of health care claims can’t be
determined at this time as the unaffiliated subscribers to the
City’s health care will be able to change their choice of plan
during open enrollment.

ANALYSIS

This legislation proposes additions to the Health Plan section of the existing “Unaffiliated
Employees Personnel Policies”, dated January 1, 2018, to take effect on July 1, 2020. The
proposal makes changes to elements of the current HMO plan, including increased co-pays,
inpatient/outpatient deductibles, and pharmacy co-pays. It incorporates the current amounts for
the deductibles and City’s contributions for the High Deductible Health Plan with Health
Savings Account. With respect to the City’s HSA contributions, it provides for proration and
splitting the City’s contributions into two installments.

The City’s open enrollment period for health insurance changes generally takes place mid-April
to mid-May.

Under NRO 50-3, the merit plan may be amended by ordinance. Prior to the introduction of
such amendments by the Mayor, division directors and department heads shall have the
opportunity to comment on the amendments. That process has taken place.
