Benefits & Insurance Committee - May 28, 2026

The RCTV Benefits & Insurance Committee convened on May 28, 2026, to discuss several agenda items including the approval of previous meeting minutes, the OSHA report, and updates on the wellness program. The primary procurement-related discussion centered on the review and approval of bids for medical, dental, vision, and pharmacy Administrative Services Only (ASO) contracts. After extensive evaluation and multiple meetings, the committee recommended awarding the contract to Cigna, effective January 1, 2027. The committee acknowledged the complexity of the proposals and the thoroughness of the review process. Questions were raised about the impact of new state laws on pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) and the appeals process for medication coverage. The committee voted to approve the recommendation with a majority in favor. Future meetings will address rates and plan design changes related to these contracts.
