Exhibit 1
Cigna Healthcare Financial Exhibit for:
CITY OF TAMARAC
Effective Date:January 01, 2021
PROPOSAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS for Dental
General Terms of this Proposal
Cigna HealthCare is pleased to present this Proposal for a Fully Insured Non-
Participating group Dental benefit plan (the "Plan") sponsored by CITY OF TAMARAC.
This proposal is valid for 60 days from its original date of release, 04/02/2020. Any
revisions or updates to this proposal will not renew this valid timeframe unless expressly
communicated by Cigna HealthCare.
The information contained in this Proposal by Cigna HealthCare is proprietary and highly
confidential. It is being provided with the understanding that it will not be used by the
employer, its representatives or consultants for any purpose other than the evaluation
of the Proposal. Under no circumstances is any of the information contained herein
(including excerpts, summaries, extracts, and evaluations thereof)to be used,
disseminated, disclosed or otherwise communicated to any person or entity other than
the employer, its representatives and consultants, and their respective employees who
are directly involved in the evaluation process.
Proposal Caveats
Cigna HealthCare may revise or withdraw this Proposal if:
1. there is a change to the effective date of the quote.
2. the Plan benefits are different than shown or benefit modifications are requested.
3. participation is below 86%. This will be based on the total eligible employees, identified
as 414.
4. enrollment increases or decreases by 10%or more, by product or for the total account,
from the enrollment assumptions used in establishing the rates and/or fees set forth
herein
5. it is not the exclusive provider of Dental for all of CITY OF TAMARAC's employees in all
worksites.
6. there is a change in law, regulation, tax rates, or the application of any of these that
affects Cigna HealthCare's costs
A. Scope and Application of this Proposal
Unless otherwise indicated,this Proposal:
1. assumes the quoted Dental rates are valid only when Dental is packaged and sold
alongside Cigna Medical and/or CGI.
2. assumes employer contributions match the previous year's sold quote.
3. assumes the premium rates proposed by Cigna Healthcare are subject to final
Underwriting approval and may be changed due to differences in selection of
benefits, changes in census data, or any other changes in risk determined by Cigna
Healthcare.
4. includes rates which are subject to regulatory approval. If, as of their proposed
effective date, regulatory approval is not obtained, Cigna shall use rates consistent
with its then currently approved rates and the foregoing rates shall be effective
automatically upon approval.
5. assumes that Cigna HealthCare's standard insurance policy form approved for use in
the applicable state by the state insurance regulator will be issued. Because the
insurance policy and certificate terms require regulatory approval, there is very little
flexibility to change the provisions. The provisions of the insurance policy and
certificate will supersede the Proposal in the event of a conflict.
6. includes Dental rates which are guaranteed for a period of 24 months while the
contract remains in force. The guarantee is valid only if medical and/or CGI renews
with dental in subsequent period.
7. assumes the rates contain sufficient commission load for Dental of 0%.
8. assumes only a passive DPPO plan may be offered to TX or MS employees due to
regulatory requirements.
9. assumes the plan will be implemented using Cigna's standard policy provisions,
limitations, and contract language as reflected in Cigna's summary plan description
unless specific modifications have been approved and rated appropriately.These
standards are summarized in the Underwriting benefit summary. Any benefit
modifications must be communicated in writing from Underwriting.
10. contains rates which include costs for Health Insurance Assessment fees (PPACA)for
2020. Rates for 2021 and later do not include Health Insurance Assessment fees
(PPACA).
11. Cigna's Dental and/or Vision products are "excepted benefits" and not subject to
Essential Health Benefit requirements.
12. Cigna HealthCare may have an agreement with your benefit advisor, under which
the benefit advisor may be paid for providing marketplace intelligence or for the
performance of administrative services. The qualification for and amount of this
payment may be based upon overall business growth and/or retention levels. Any
such payment is funded through Cigna HealthCare's general overhead.
13. The benefit advisor may qualify for incentive payment (monetary or non-monetary)
from Cigna HealthCare. For example, the benefit advisor may receive payment based
upon new sales, new customer growth or retention.This incentive payment is
funded from Cigna HealthCare's general overhead.
14. Cigna HealthCare sponsors programs to inform benefit advisors about Cigna
HealthCare's plan coverage and services (including producer advisory councils). The
cost of these events is funded through Cigna HealthCare's general overhead.
