Commissionu
May 5, 2014
Harry Nespoli
Chair, Municipal Labor Committee
125 Barclay Street
. New York, ·NY 10007
Dear Mr. Nespoli:
This is to confirm the parties' mutuaJ understanding concerning the following issues:
l. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the Welfare Fund contribution will remain
constant for the length of the successor wiit agreements, including the $65 funded from the
Stabilization Fund pursuant to the 2005 Health Benefits Agreement between the City of New
York and the Municipal Labor Committee.
2. Effective July 1, 2014, the Stabilization Fund shall convey $1 Billion to the City of New
York to be used to support wage increases and other economic items for the current round of
collective bargaining (for the period up to and including fiscal year 2018). Up to an additional
totaJ amount of$ 150 million will be available over the four year period from the Stabilization
Fund for the welfare funds, the allocation of which shall be determined by the parties. Thereafter,
$ 60 million per year will be available from the Stabilization Fund for the welfare funds, the
allocation of which shall be determined by the parties.
3. If the parties decide to engage in a centralized purchase of Prescription Drugs, and
savings and efficiencies are identified therefrom, there shall not be any reduction in welfare fund
contributions.
4. There shall be a joint committee formed that Y.ill engage in a process to select an
independent healthcare actuary, and any other mutually agreed upon additional outside expertise,
to develop an accounting system to measure and calculate savings.


5. The MLC agrees to generate cumulative healthcare savings of$3.4 billion over the
course ofF iscal Years 2015 through 2018, said savings to be exclusive of the monies referenced
in Paragraph 2 above and generated in the individual fiscal years as follows: (i) $400 million in
Fiscal Year 2015; (ii) $700 million in Fiscal Year 2016; (iii) $1 billion in Fiscal Year 2017; (iv)
$1.3 billion in Fiscal Year 2018; and (v) for every fiscal year thereafter, the savings on a
citywide basis in health care costs shall continue on a recurring basis. At the conclusion of Fiscal
Year 2018, the parties shall calculate the savings realized during the prior four-year period. In
the event that the MLC has generated more than $3.4 billion in cumulative healthcare savings
during the four-year period, as determined by the jointly selected healthcare actuary, up to the
first $365 million of such additional savings shal] be credited proportionately to each union as a
one-time lump sum pensionable bonus payment for its members. Should the union desire to use
these funds for other purposes, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to agree on an
appropriate alternative use. Any additional savings generated for the four-year period beyond the
first $365 million will be shared equally with the City and the MLC for the same purposes and
subject to the same procedure as the first $365 million. Additional savings beyond $1.3 billion in
FY 2018 that carry over into FY 2019 shall be subject to negotiations between the parties.
6. The following initiatives are among those that the MLC and the City could consider in
their joint efforts to meet the aforementioned annual and four-year cumulative savings figures:
minimum premium, self-insurance, dependent eligibility verification audits, the capping of the
HIP HMO rate, the capping of the Senior Care rate, the equalization formula, marketing plans,
Medicare Advantage, and the more effective delivery of health care.
7. Dispute Resolution
a. In the event of any dispute under this agreement, the parties shall meet and confer
in an attempt to resolve the dispute. If the parties cannot resolve the dispute, such
dispute shall be referred to Arbitrator Martin F. Scheinman for resolution.
b. Such dispute shall be resolved within 90 days.
c. The arbitrator shall have the authority to impose interim relief that is consistent
with the parties' intent.
d. The arbitrator shall have the authority to meet with the parties at such times as the
arbitrator determines is appropriate to enforce the terms of this agreement.
e. If the parties are unable to agree on the independent health care actuary described
above, the arbitrator shall select the impartial health care actuary to be retained by
the parties.
f. The parties sbal1 share the costs for the arbitrator and the actuary the arbitrator
selects.

Hany Ncspoli, Chair
Municipal Labor Committee
125 Barclay Street
New York, New York
Dear Mr. Nespoli:
1. This is to confirm the parties' mutual understanding concerning the health care agreement for
Fiscal Years 2019 - 2021:
a. The MLC agrees to generate cumulative healthcare savings of S 1.1 billion over the
course of New York City Fiscal Years 2019 through 2021. Said saving.5 shall be
generated as follows:
i. $200 million in Fiscal Year 2019;
ii. $300 million in Fiscal Year 2020;
iii. $600 million in Fiscal Year 2021, and
iv. For every fiscal year thereafter, the S600 million per year saving.5 on a
citywide basis in healthcare costs shall continue on a recurring basis.
b. Savings will be measured against the projected FY 2019-FY 2022 City Financial
Plan (adopted on June 15, 2018) which incorporates projected City health care cost
increases of7% in Fiscal Year ("FY") 2019, 6.5% in FY 2020 and 6% in FY 2021.
Non-recurring savings may be transferrable within the years FY 2019 through FY
2021 pursuant only to t(a)(i), l(a){ii), l(a)(iii) above. For example:
i. $205 million in FY 2019 and $295 million in FY 2020 will qualify for those
years• savings targets under l(aXi) and l(aXii).
ii. $210 million-in FY 2019, $310 million in FY 2020, and $580 million in FY
2021 will qualify for those years' savings targets under l(a)(i), l(a)(ii),
l(a)(iii).
iii. In any event, the $600 million pursuant to 1( a)(iv) must be recurring and
agred to by the parties within FY 2021, and may not be borrowed from
other years.


c. Savings attributable to CBP programs will continue to be transferred to the City by
offsetting the savings amounts documented by Empire Blue Cross and GHI against
the equalization payments from the City to the Stabilization Fund for FY 19, FY 20
and FY 21, unless otherwise agreed to by the City and the MLC. In order for this
offset to expire, any savings achieved in this manner must be replaced in order to
meet the recurring obligation under l(a)(iv) above.
d. The parties agree that any savings within the period of FY 2015 • 2018 over $3.4
billion arising from the 2014 City/MLC Health Agreement will be counted towards
the FY 2019 goal. This is currently estimated at approximately $131 million but will
not be finalized until the full year ofFY 2018 data is transmitted and analyzed by the
City's and the MLC's actuaries.
e. The parties agree that recurring savings over $1.3 billion for FY 2018 arising under
the 2014 City/MLC Health Agreement wil I be counted toward the goal for Fiscal
Years 2019, 2020, 2021 and for purposes of the recurring obligation under l(n)(iv)
above. This is currently estimated at approximately S40 million but will not be
finalized until the full year of FY 2018 data is transmitted and analyzed by the City's
and the MLC's actuaries. Once the amount is finalized, that amount shall be applied
to Fiscal Years 2019, 2020, 2021 and to the obligation under l(a)(iv).
2. After the conclusion of Fiscal Year 2021, the parties shall calculate the savings realized during
the 3 year period. In the event that the MLC has generated more than $600 million in recurring
healthcare savings, as agreed upon by the City's and the MLC's actuaries, such additional savings
shall be utilized as follows:
a. The first $68 million will be used by the City to make a $100 per member per year
increase to welfare funds (actives and retirees) effective July 1, 2021. If a savings
amount over $600 million but less than $668 million is achieved, the SIOO per member
per year (actives and retirees) increase will be prorated.
b. Any savings thereafter shall be split equally between the City and the MLC and applied
in a manner agreed to by the parties.
3. Beginning January I, 2019, and continuing unless and until the parties agree otherwise, the
parties shall authorize the quarterly provision of the following data to the City's end MLC's
actuaries on an ongoing quarterly basis: (I) detailed claim-level health data from Emblem Health
and Empire Blue Cross including detailed claim-level data for City employees covered under the
GHI-CBP programs (including Senior Care and Behavioral Health information); and (2)
utilization data under the HIP-HMO plan. Such data shall be provided within 60 days of the end
of each quarterly period. The HIP-HMO utilization data will also be provided to the City's and
MLC's actuaries within 60 days of the execution of this letter agreement for City Fiscal Year

utilization by procedure for site of service benefit changes; (ii) utilization by disease state, by
procedure (for purposes of assessing Centers of Excellence); and (iii) member engagement data
for the Wellness program, including stratifying members by three tranches (level I, 11 and II).
The data shall include baseline data as well as data regarding the assumptions utilized in
determining expected savings for comparison. The data described in this paragraph shall be
provided pursuant to a data sharing agreement entered into by the City and MLC, akin to prior
data agreements, which shall provide for the protection of member privacy and related concerns,
shall cover all periods addressed by this Agreement (i.e., through June 30, 2021 and thereafter),
and shall be executed within thirty days of the execution of this letter agreement.
