BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
PASS -AROUND REVIEW
PASS -AROUND TITLE: Voya Stop Loss Carrier
DEPARTMENT:
HR DATE:12/3/2024
PERSON REQUESTING: Allison Palmer & Jill Scott
Brief description of the problem/issue:
The County's current stop loss carrier, Aetna, has been provi ding coverage for high -cost claims. Hub went to
market for us and Aetna did not want to match after an extensive review of the stop loss market, it has been
determined that switching to Voya would provide substantial savings to the County. This switch is expected to
save the County $450,000 annually.
What options exist for the Board?
Stay with Aetna: Continue with the existing stop loss coverage, which would result in higher premiums with
no savings. Switch to Voya: Transition to Voya as the new stop loss carrier, saving the County $450,000
annually. This option comes with the requirement to cover high claims upfront while awaiting reimbursement
from Voya, which could temporarily increase cash flow requirements.
Consequences:
Stay with Aetna: No immediate change, but continued high p -emiums will strain the County's benefits budget.
Switch to Voya: While the County will save $450,000 annually, there will be a temporary cash flow challenge
as high claims need to be paid upfront, before reimbursement from Voya is received. However, the CFO has
confirmed that the County has sufficient cash reserves to cover these claims in the interim.
Costs (Current Fiscal Year / Ongoing or Subsequent Fiscal Years):
The switch to Voya involves additional administrative burden as the benefits team will need to manage the
high claims. The main financial benefit, however, is the substantial annual savings of $450,000.
Recommendation: Given the substantial savings of $450,000, it is recommended that the Board approve the
switch to Voya as the new stop loss carrier. Although the trarsition will require some additional administrative
work and upfront cash flow management, the long-term savings will far outweigh these temporary
inconveniences. The CFO has confirmed the County's cash reserves are adequate to cover the gap, making this
a financially sound decision for the future.

2. I am not subject to backup withholding because: (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified me that I am
no longer subject to backup withholding; and
3. I am a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person (defined below); and
4. The FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that I am exempt from FATCA reporting is correct.

you have failed to report all interest and dividends on your tax return. For real estate transactions, item 2 does not apply. For mortgage interest paid,
acquisition or abandonment of secured property, cancellation of debt, contributions to an individual retirement arrangement (IRA), and generally, payments
other than interest and dividends, you are not required to sign the certification, but you must provide your correct TIN. See the instructions for Part II, later.
