Agenda 12/13/2011 Item #16E 612/13/2011 Item 16.E.6.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute Amendment
#3 to Collier County's contract with Meritain, Inc. for Group Health Third Party
Administration Run -out Services in the estimated amount of $88,425.
OBJECTIVE: To provide group health claims administration run -out services for the Collier
County Group Health Plan through the amendment of the contract with Meritain, Inc. effective
January 1, 2012.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Board of Commissioners through the Risk Management Department
offers a comprehensive group insurance program to its employees and their eligible dependents.
The program includes a partially self - funded group health insurance plan also known as the
"Plan ". In order to properly manage the Plan, the County employs the services of a professional
third party claims administration company to adjudicate claims. Since 2000, the County has
utilized Meritain, Inc., formerly known as CBSA, for these services. The existing agreement will
expire on December 31, 2011.
On July 26, 2011 the Board approved an agreement with Allegiance, Inc. to replace Meritain, Inc.
effective January 1, 2012. Allegiance will begin adjudicating claims with service dates of January
1, 2012 and after. However, there will be claims with service dates prior to December 31, 2011
that will be presented for payment after January 1, 2012. These claims are referred to as "run -out
claims ". The Plan permits claims to be presented for a period of up to twelve months after the
service date. For example, a claim with a service date of January 1, 2011 is eligible for review if
received before the close of business on December 31, 2011. Therefore, it is important that the
run -out contract contain a twelve month term to assure that all eligible claims are properly
managed.
Typically, run -out claims are managed by the claims administrator in place on the date of service,
in this case Meritain. It is uncommon for the new claims administrator to assume the servicing of
these claims because of the logistical and data processing issues related to their submission. It is
also typical for the cost of these run -out services to be equal to three months of claims
administration fees.
The current agreement with Meritain contains a run -out provision, however, staff is recommending
that the agreement be amended to better define the run -out term, cost and services provided. The
original agreement was for three years with the option to renew for two years. The run -out
provision in the original agreement could be interpreted to apply only to a termination of services
at the end of the original three year term. However, the agreement was extended beyond the
initial three year term and thus; it is recommended that the provision be clarified.
Staff has prepared an amendment to the Meritain agreement to reflect that claims run -out
services will be for a period of twelve months with a commencement date of January 1, 2012 to
assure that claims are properly administered. Meritain has agreed to the terms of the amendment
and will execute the amendment prior to Collier County executing this amendment.
FISCAL IMPACT: The amendment states that Meritain will be paid a monthly fee of $15.00 per
employee per month based upon an agreed employee count of 1,965 employees for a period of
three months commencing on January 1, 2012. The monthly payment of $29,475 shall be due on
the first day of the month with the first payment due on January 1, 2012 and the final payment due

12/13/2011 Item 16.E.6.
on March 1, 2012. Total fees are estimated to be $88,425. Services shall commence on January
1, 2012 and terminate on December 31, 2012. Funds are budgeted within Fund 517, Group
Health and Life for this purpose.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with
this item.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney's Office,
requires majority vote, and is legally sufficient for Board action. — CMG
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approves and authorizes the Chairman to execute
Amendment #3 to Collier County's contract with Meritain, Inc. for Group Health Third Party
Administration Services.

Finance Division (Contracts Department), the project manager, the Minutes and Records Department and the

Reassignment of a Contract: In instances in which a corporate reorganization or sale of assets (other than stock)
occurs and the contracting party notifies the County of this event, consent to the assignment of the contract must take
place. The issuance of payment or to give new orders in the new name cannot take place until it is determined
whether Collier County will consent to the assignment, and what the conditions of the consent will be. All
new assignments must be approved by the Board.
I . A copy of the assignment document.

Subject:
Meritain Run -Out Provisions for CCG
Jeff:
To follow -up on your email correspondence with our team and your conversation yesterday morning with Doug, we
wanted to recap for you our summary of the process involved with obtaining a final run out agreement from Meritain.
As you know, the agreement between CCG and Meritain was a three -year agreement that included run -out terms as part
of the contract. These terms provided for 6 months of run out at a rate of $11.25 per employee. We believed that to be
an exceptionally competitive proposal and in the best interest of CCG at that time. This preliminary agreement was
extended for two additional one -year periods by an agreement created by the CCG Purchasing Department. Both CCG
and Willis had no information that suggested this extention would modify the previously agreed upon run -out terms in the
initial agreement.
When Meritain was notified of the termination of the CCG agreement after the 2011 marketing process for the CCHCC
employers, Willis requested confirmation of the run out terms as transition plans needed to be firmed up. We were initially
advised that the run -out terms had not changed from the above. It was at this time, that Meritain indicated a new proposal
and advised Willis that the extension negotiated by CCG did not include extending the run out provisions of the initial
agreement. Willis continued to negotiate the run out provisions so that CCG could move forward with plans to transition
away from Meritain and implement the new agreement with Allegiance. Final terms were to provide run out services for
12 months at a rate of $15 per employee payable for 3 months. This was a counter proposal to Meritain's suggested
terms that were based on a lower admin fee for a longer time frame and based on an incorrect head count. Through
negotiations, Willis was successful in having them modify this proposal. The final terms are competitive with the
marketplace and were, in fact, better than some others provided during the recent marketing process.
Since the only way to effectively refute Meritain's position would be to litigate, neither Willis nor the CCG felt that would be
cost - effective nor timely to meet the needs to process member claims without significant impact to member service and
cost.
Going forward, we recommend that any future Agreements or extensions should be forwarded to the Risk Management
Department and Willis for a "last look" after the Purchasing Department's final negotiations. This should help to minimize
any oversight on industry- specific content and to confirm terms that have been agreed upon or presented during the
marketing and selection process. Again, our team does feel that the final outcome in this process was favorable in terms
of the final result, but we are disappointed in Meritain's business practices.
Please let us know if you have any further questions or would like any additional information.
Thank you,
Sue
