City staff worked with the new Insurance Broker to conduct a Request for Proposal to
Services
select a new Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM). Costco was selected by the Health Plan
Board, and the contract will be taken to Council for adoption.

The City intends to terminate the contract with Envision and move to Costco September
1, 2019. Based on a review of pharmacy utilization by active employees and LEOFF 1
retirees in 2018, we anticipate that moving to Costco will result in annual savings of
approximately $300,000. No action is required by the LEOFF Board for this change.
Armondo asked about cost and liability associated with early termination of the Envision
contract. Leslie explained that Envision had provided written confirmation that they will
not seek compensation for lost revenue.
Some members will required to change medication to an alternative equivalent
medication on the Costco formulary. Jim Phelan requested that clear communication
on the change be sent to members in advance. Wendy confirmed that a communication
plan is in place.
