Specific stop loss premiums include costs for <br /> projected claims that would not be covered by the excess insurance offered by the respective <br /> insurers. Discounts are estimated on the basis of current hospital utilization of City subscribers. <br /> Because none of the competing administrators would be able to offer an alternative to <br /> Blue Cross that would save the City any money, because Blue Cross maintains the most <br />, extensive provider network in the region, and because Blue Cross provides a consistently high <br /> quality of service as claims administrator and excess insurer, we recommend the City renew its <br /> contracts with Blue Cross for the coming year, per the attached resolution. <br /> We would be happy to answer any questions you have about the attached. <br /> attachment <br />
