LEOFF I meeting minutes � � II
January 24,2012
Retiree 4070 purchased a year's supply of inedication from a clinic. The clinic charged him the
full cost of the medication, $3908. The medication from an approved pharmacy would have �I
cost$542.
It was unclear where the retiree had purchased the medication, from the paperwork available
at the meeting. The members agreed that the location of the clinic was an important point in
considering this request.
The availability of chain pharmacies and the use of mail-in prescription services was discussed.
The members also discussed how the City plan differs from the LEOFF plan: For example, the
City plan has a list of approved medications and if the drug is not on the list, the City does not
pay. The Board looks at reimbursements on a case-by-case basis and whether the drug is
medically necessary. Other differences in coverage were discussed such as the requirements
for reimbursement for massage therapy and acupuncture.
1) In conclusion, the Board members requested a side-by-side comparison of City
reimbursement rules as opposed to the LEOFF I rules and practices.
2) After further discussion,J. Matthew moves and R. Anderson seconds, to table the bill request
from Retiree 4070 until more detailed information, such as the location of the doctor and clinic,
is available at the next meeting. Motion carried.
