Dental & Vision Services

The City of Cincinnati is seeking a qualified insurance carrier to provide and administer self‑funded dental and vision benefit programs for its employees and dependents. The vendor must be the insurer (not a broker), hold an “A” rating, be licensed in Ohio, and deliver nationwide coverage with robust reporting, data‑analysis, and member‑service capabilities. Key responsibilities include underwriting, network maintenance, semi‑annual performance reviews, enrollment support, wellness integration, and annual member satisfaction surveys, all while meeting strict eligibility‑file turnaround and record‑keeping requirements. • Must duplicate the existing provider network and ensure minimal disruption to employee access (40 % evaluation weight). • Provide detailed utilization, claims, and cost‑driver reports; offer performance‑based financial guarantees. • Required deliverables: corporate information, affidavit of accuracy, benefit comparison tables, and compliance with S‑M/WBE expectations. • Contract term runs from Jan 1 2023 through Dec 31 2028 with up‑to‑three one‑year extensions.
