BACKGROUND: 

Clark County established a self-funded group medical and dental benefits program in 1984 to provide group medical and dental benefits to the employees of Clark County and affiliated entities.  Historically, the program has consisted of a preferred provider organization (PPO) plan. Effective January 1, 2022, Clark County is implementing an exclusive provider only (EPO) plan. The amendment to the Interlocal Agreement incorporates the administration of the EPO plan and establishes the rates for the plan.

Since the inception of the program, premium rates for the PPO plan have increased by approximately 5% per year, on average.  The last premium increase of 3% was approved on September 3, 2019, for plan year 2020, and there was no premium increase for plan year 2021. No rate increase is being proposed for the PPO plan for plan year 2022.
