Authorizing the mayor to enter into an agreement with FrontPath Health Coalition for the provision of preferred provider network services related to hospitalization, surgical-medical, major medical, and medical management for the city of Toledo’s covered employees for a period of three (3) years; and further authorizing the expenditure of funds; and declaring an emergency.

 

Body

SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:

The city of Toledo’s contract with FrontPath Health Coalition, the incumbent preferred provider organization, expires on September 30, 2018.  

 

The city of Toledo’s human resources department sought competitive proposals in accordance with law and received eight (8) responsive proposals for a preferred provider organization. The human resources department reviewed each proposal, with consultation from representatives of the law and finance departments, risk management and an external consultant, and determined that FrontPath Health Coalition presented the lowest and best proposal.  The Health Care Cost Containment Committee also recommended that the city continue with this provider. It is estimated that the administrative fee cost associated with this agreement will be approximately $180,180 per year for three (3) years.
