INSERT:

From the funds provided in Specific Appropriation 2661A, the Department 
of Management Services shall:

For coverage periods until December 31, 2011, continue to provide the 
same health insurance benefits under the existing state group health 
insurance plans offered for active state employees, retirees eligible 
for Medicare and retirees not eligible for Medicare, under the same 
conditions and terms as provided on June 30, 2011, except that the 
monthly employee contribution for all active state employees for 
individual coverage shall be $50.00 for individual coverage and $200.00 
for family coverage.  

   Effective for health insurance benefits for the coverage period 
beginning on January 1, 2012, and notwithstanding any provision of s. 
110.123, Florida Statutes:

         Provide self-insured state group health insurance plans for a 
separate health insurance risk pool consisting solely of active state 
employees based on actuarially-certified minimum benefit plans which 
offer specific health benefits which shall be determined by the 
Department of Management Services, using employee contributions of: i) 
$50 per month per employee for individual coverage; ii) employee 
contributions of $200 per month for family coverage; iii) state-paid 
contributions of $500 per month per employee for individual coverage;  
and iv) state-paid contributions of $875 per month per employee for 
family coverage.  At a minimum, the state group health insurance program 
shall include a health insurance standard plan, a state group health 
insurance high-deductible plan, a state-contracted health maintenance 
organization standard plan, and a state-contracted health maintenance 
organization high-deductible plan.  The specific benefits provided by 
the actuarially-certified minimum benefit plans developed by the 
Department of Management Services shall be construed as having been 
approved by the Legislature.  Employees shall be provided the 
opportunity to select health insurance plan options offering more 
benefits than the actuarially-certified minimum benefit plans to be  
provided under those parameters; however, any employee selecting any 
plan offering more benefits that the actuarially-certified minimum 
benefit plans shall be responsible for the amount of the actual monthly 
premium for a plan offering  greater benefits less a state contribution 
of  $500 per month per employee for individual coverage or $875 per 
month per employee for family coverage.  All plan options shall 
encourage and promote enrollee health plan choices and positive behavior 
to promote the health and well-being of health plan members and to 
encourage appropriate plan utilization.  The Department of Management 
Services shall allow the health maintenance organizations that responded 
to ITN Number DMS 10/11-011 to submit revised replies addressing the 
requirements applicable for health insurance benefits for the coverage

period beginning January 1, 2012. 

          Establish a separate self-insured, health insurance risk pool 
for retirees not eligible for Medicare and a separate health insurance 
risk pool for retirees eligible for Medicare, both of which shall charge 
retirees an actuarially indicated premium for the coverage selected by 
the retiree. The health insurance plans available for retirees not 
eligible for Medicare and for retirees eligible for Medicare shall 
include each type of plan available for active state employees.
