Legislative Audit Bureau
March 11, 1996
The Honorable, The Legislature:
We have completed our evaluation of the State Group Health Insurance program, as requested by the Joint Legislative Audit Committee. In 1995 $75,487 active and retired state employes participated in the program at a total cost of more than $310 million.
Since 1984, the State's contribution to employe health insurance premiums has been based on the lower of 90 percent of the Standard Plan, which is the State's self-insured indemnity plan, or 105 percent of the lowest-cost alternative plan. The policy was designed to encourage health care providers to compete for enrollees through a competitive bidding process, resulting in cost savings for the State. By 1995, as a result of financial incentives, almost 90 percent of state employes were enrolled in one of the alternative plans offered by 24 participating health maintenance organizations and one preferred provider plan.
