DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Florida Combined Life (FCL) is the County’s current Group voluntary dental plan provider. This year we completed an RFP, where five (5) firms, including our current provider, submitted proposals. The proposals were evaluated and scored, and the selection committee selected our current providers submission. The proposed renewal represents a two (2) year rate guarantee with no increase in our lower plan rates and a decrease in our higher plan rates with a $25,000 employer credit. FCL provides two (2) dental plan choices, a low option and high option, for employees to choose the plan which most appropriately meets their own individual and family needs. The plan designs and coverage encourage employees to use in-network providers to obtain the most cost-effective coverage.
The Group Dental plan is a Voluntary Insurance plan. Employees and retirees pay 100% of the premium.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None; employees and retirees pay 100% of the estimated $1,800,000 premiums for FY 2026-27.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to approve Dental Insurance renewal with Florida Combined Life to be effective October 1, 2026.
