We wish to keep you updated on the performance of our group Health and Dental plan, and a general rate update for April 2023.

Unlike the Life Insurance and LTD benefit plans, the Health and Dental benefits are self-insured, meaning TBRHSC, on a cost sharing basis of 75% hospital and 25% employee, assumes all risk for claims costs. We continue to have effective plan administration practices in place to keep our annual rate increases low.

Employees enrolled in Green Shield will see a 2% increase in monthly premium rates this month. Any rate increases applicable because of coverage changes will be adjusted by bargaining group per the effective date.

We continue to work with Green Shield and our Advisors to review options and opportunities to ensure we receive maximum value and cost-efficiencies on the plan.

If you have any questions, please contact Human Resources at ext. 6227 or TBRHSC.humanresources@tbh.net.
