BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City of New Braunfels Human Resources team engaged different health advisors to pursue an onsite employee health clinic. A Request for Proposals was publicly published with a total of nine (9) responses received. Radish Health Medical Group was the overall highest ranked during the evaluation. After careful evaluation and consideration, Staff believe the addition of Radish Employee Onsite Health Clinic will greatly benefit our team members by providing accessible onsite care to include primary care, virtual visits, chronic disease management, biometric screenings and workers compensation support.
Beyond the enhanced benefit this will provide to team members, the on-site clinic is part of a much broader strategy to become better and more strategic consumers of healthcare. There have been a number of benefit modifications over the past year, that have not negatively impacted the healthcare benefit, but that generated cost savings. As a result, the City has not had to increase employee or employer contributions to the Self Insurance Fund for seven years.
The initial term of this Agreement shall become effective upon the date of the final signature and shall remain in effect through September 30, 2028 (“Initial Term”) with the option to renew for two (2) additional terms of one (1) year each (“Renewal Term”).
