Madison School District (PDF):

MMSD will spend $61 million on health insurance this year.

One of Every Six Dollars is Spent on Health Insurance in the MMSD budget.

Health Insurance premiums account for 16% of the MMSD budget.

Over 3,900 employees are enrolled in the MMSD plan

The MMSD plan design lacks common features that promote efficient utilization – the plan has no deductibles, no co-insurance requirements, and no employee premium contribution

Our multi-year claims experience (medical loss ratio) does not suggest that MMSD should expect less-than-market pricing

Medical trend (inflation) continues to grow at 7-8% annual increases (including 3-4% ACA fees)

Health insurance costs have long been an issue in the Madison Schools.
