RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. *J Q ^ ^ approving agreement with Kaiser
Foundation Health Plan in concept.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
As a result of negotiations with employee groups and as part of
the revised insurance program approved by the City Council in
July 1982, the City agreed to investigate the feasibility of
implementing a health maintenance organization (HMO) program for
city employees. City staff, representatives of employee groups,
and Mike Baker, the City's employee benefits consultant, have
reviewed HMO programs available to the City. Based on this
review, it is recommended by staff, employee representatives
and the City's consultant that the City enter into an agreement
with Kaiser Foundation Health Plan. The plan will be implemented
on January 1, 1983.
The Kaiser plan is a prepaid group practice HMO. The benefits
provided under this approach are outlined in Exhibit 1 . The
rates for calendar year 1983 are as follows:
Employee Only $67.09
Employee + One Dependent $134.18
Employee + Two or More
Dependents $191.10
The Kaiser plan does not provide the same level of dental and
vision coverage available through the city indemnity program;
however, the employee does not have to pay any deductibles or
co-insurance under the Kaiser medical plan. The Kaiser plan is
being offered as an alternative to the city indemnity plan, an
employee would take one or the other. An annual open enrollment
period would be provided allowing employees to switch from the
HMO plan to the indemnity plan and vice versa.
Although there are no Kaiser facilities in the immediate Tri-
City area, a number of employees, some who live outside the
Tri-City area, have expressed a strong interest in the Kaiser
plan. Kaiser has established medical offices in Escondido.
FISCAL IMPACT;
The approval of the Kaiser program will not increase costs to the
City. For police, fire and management employees, the City will
contribute the same amount to the Kaiser plan that is contributed
toward the City's indemnity plan. The cost of miscellaneous
W employees will be paid out of the $115 a month provided to those
employees for benefits. The rates quoted by Kaiser are for the
1983 calendar year.

OUT-OF-PLAN EMERGENCY CARE
Emergency care is medically necessary health service that is generally available and customarily provided
in Southern California and which is immediately required because of unforeseen illness or injury.
This benefit applies only to care required before a members condition permits transfer to the nearest
Kaiser-Permanente facility: continuing or follow-up,care is not covered.
Medically necessary special transportation to such facility will be covered with prior Kaiser-Permanente
approval.
Payment will be made for Emergency Care Within the Service Area obtained from physicians and hospitals
not associated with Kaiser-Permanente provided that:
Kaiser-Permanente facilities were not used because to have done so would have entailed a delay which
would have resulted in death, serious disability or significant jeopardy to the members condition, or
because the choice of provider was beyond the control of the member or the members immediate family.
Payment will be made for Emergency Care Outside the Service Area in the following circumstances:
For members residing uiiihin the Service Area provided that:
Emergency services were received outside the Service Area because the member became ill or was
injured while outside the Service Area.
For members residing outside the Service Area provided that:
Emergency services were received outside the Service Area because the member became ill or was
injured while outside the Service Area and:
A. The member became ill or was injured and received emergency service while more than 30
miles from home or;
B. The member was less than 30 miles from home and emergency services were needed to
prevent death, serious disability, or significant jeopardy to the members condition, and it
would have been unreasonable to expect the member to obtain emergency services from
Kaiser-Permanente facilities: or if the choice of the provider was beyond the members control
and that of the members immediate family.
» Newborn deliveries occurring outside the Service Area are considered emergencies in situations of
unexpected premature deliveries. Normal deliveries (after 8 months of gestation) are not considered
emergencies unless Health Plan determines that the member was outside the Service Area because of
circumstances beyond her control or because of extreme personal emergency.
MEMBER PAYS
Copayments
The member must pay the amounts which would have been paid as supplemental charges at Kaiser-
Permanente facilities for the emergency care. Health Plan's payment will be reduced by such amounts.
If care is obtained within the Service Area or within 30 miles of the home of a member who resides outside
the Service Area, the member must pay 50% of the first $100 in excess of the supplemental charges.
Health Plan will pay only the reasohable cost of emergency care obtained from physicians or hospitals not
associated with Kaiser-Permanente. The member is responsible for payment of that portion of any charges
deemed not reasonable Such payments, if out of pocket to the member, are copayments under the
Supplemental Charges Maximum provision.
/3
OUT-OF-PLAN EMERGENCY CARE (continued)
Reductions
Payment will be reduced by any Other Benefits, which means all amounts paid or payable (or which would
be paid or payable if there were no Health Plan benefits) under Medicare, any insurance policy or contract

Other Benefits have not been paid within a reasonable time. Health Plan will make payment for the
emergency care provided that the member (or the family member entitled to do so) assigns all Other
Benefits to Health Plan and agrees to fully cooperate with Health Plan in obtaining such Other Benefits and
allows Health Plan to obtain confirmation from the source of Other Benefits that they have not been paid.
Any person claiming out-of-plan emergency care benefits shall furnish Health Plan with such information
as may be rlecessary to implement these provisions.
Any overpayment by-Health Plan may be recovered from the person to whom made or from any insurance
company or organization that is obligated to pay for the care received.
Payment under this benefit for emergency services required as the result of illness or injury caused by a
third party is made if the member agrees in writing to reimburse Health Plan for any amount paid up to the
amount of any settlement or judgment received and directs his or her attorney to pay such amount directly
to Health Plan. This paragraph does not apply to Medicare members.

Groups contracting with Kaiser Foundation Health Plan are now encouraged to take advantage of
the Temporary Identification Card Program. The Temporary Identification Cards are issued by the
