3. Describe your experience and services related to health management. This would include

OUR APPROACH
Sapoznik Insurance's philosophy of health management to deliver a comprehensive benefits
package is based upon three basic principles and our overall approach; insurance, education and
wellness. In addition to aggressively negotiating on our client's behalf for the most cost effective
insurance solutions while providing an uncompromising level of service, just as importantly we also
incorporate educational and wellness components into any interaction with our clients and their
employees.

There is no substitute for experience. For over two decades, Sapoznik Insurance has not only
taken note of the changes and trends in the healthcare industry, but more significantly we have
been innovative enough to evolve our role as an agency and meet the ever changing needs of our
clients.
To this end, Sapoznik Insurance has been implementing health and wellness initiatives for over
twelve years because we know that there are two major variables that can be adjusted to reduce
the overall costs of health insurance. The first and what we aim to avoid at all costs, is to increase
the out of pocket expenses of employees throughout the year, such as increasing deductibles and
or co- insurance. The second and most desirable variable is to decrease overall claims utilization.
We understand the relationship between employees neglecting their personal health and a
group's claims experience. Our goal is to create awareness through education alongside health
and wellness initiatives to shift employee behavior towards healthier lifestyles. This will result in
early detection of easily preventable health conditions well before an employee is in need of
services and procedures when it is most dire — and most costly, thus avoiding "shock" claims
altogether that ultimately lead to rate increases.
ON -STAFF HEALTH & WELLNESS SUPPORT
Prevention and education while striving towards a healthier population is a core part of our full -
service comprehensive benefits philosophy. We have a team of 3 in -house wellness specialists
dedicated to supporting all the preventative health and wellness needs of our clients and their
employees. Our specialists can be reached either by phone or email, and are available to
conduct on -site focused disease management seminars, health fairs, lunch and learn sessions and
preventative consultations.
INITIATING A COMPREHENSIVE WELLNESS PROGRAM
Sapoznik Insurance is committed to helping you implement workplace wellness initiatives that will
not only reduce health care costs but also increase employee productivity and satisfaction. The
wellness highlight for The City of South Miami employees will be the annual health fair that we
will coordinate and host for you on your premises with a target date of April 2012. Coupled
with a Health Risk Assessment platform, utilized to capture quantifiable data, this will bring to
light specific health areas that can be addressed via disease management programs,
educational campaigns and or incentive programs. Key findings may include for example a high
concentration of obesity, hypertension and or diabetes.
The annual health fair serves a dual purpose in that this may be the only time an employee may
engage in preventative healthcare measures. The convenience of employees not having to take
time off from work to do simple biometric screenings facilitates a way for them to know what
medical conditions they may be at risk for. Secondly hosting the annual health fair six months
after The City of South Miami's open enrollment period allows Sapoznik Insurance another
structured opportunity to be in front of all employees to provide and reinforce educational
elements for example proper plan utilization. The return on our educational and wellness efforts
can be seen through lowered health insurance renewal premiums, reduced absenteeism, increased
Presenteeism, less worker's comp, and increased employee morale.

WELLNESS PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION
We work will with your team to implement a comprehensive wellness program that can include
education and incentives to encourage and motivate employees to participate in exercise,
improve nutrition, seek preventative care and take a proactive approach to their health. As a
Sapoznik Insurance client your employees and staff will have full access to our wellness
professionals, and benefit from an ongoing rapport about employee health and reducing costs.
As part of our value proposition, at no additional costs, Sapoznik Insurance will provide the
annual health fair and all wellness communications. Delivery of campaign may be via payroll
stuffers, posters, employee newsletters and educational flyers on health and wellness topics,
designed to shift behaviors towards healthier lifestyles.
Features of the Sapoznik Wellness program include:
• Annual Health Fair
• Lunch & Learn Sessions
• Preventative Care Flyers
• Monthly Wellness Newsletters
• Internal Wellness Communications Materials
DISEASE MANAGEMENT, MONITORING AND INCENTIVIZING WELLNESS
Our agency recognizes the importance of motivating employees to participate in wellness, and
incentives are built into our comprehensive wellness services. Upon conducting the internal health
audit we will identify health behaviors across the employee population and then work together
with you to calculate meaningful incentives to improve upon poor employee health. We currently
utilize three strategies that have revolutionized the ways employees look at wellness. Each
employer is unique, so our wellness efforts will be tailored to fit the specific needs of The City of
South Miami. Below are some of the strategies we have implemented for our clients towards
creating a healthier, happier workplace.
Deductible Strategy: we are able to work with your staff to set appropriate
deductible levels and allow employees to lower their deductibles for participating
in certain health awareness, wellness, fitness and nutritional activities. Each
wellness activity will allow an employee to incrementally lower their deductible,
while the deductible is reinsured by a third party to prevent loss. Though this
measure can be extreme, it incentivizes employees to put 'skin in the game' to
prevent out of pocket expense.
2. Premium Strategy: we work with employers to and create a strategy to credit
employees through lower payroll deductions for participating in wellness
activities. Employers can choose their rewards and incentivize employees with the
simplicity of lower per - paycheck deductions.
3. Prizes, Gift Cards and Cash: we have created a turn -key program, our
Ship -Shape Dollars Program, to deliver tangible rewards to further incentivize
employees for participating in wellness activities. We will work with your staff to
set attainable goals for which employees can earn Ship -Shape Dollars towards
prizes, gift cards and cash and drive participation.

4. Describe an example of a City for whom you have coordinated or provided these services.
IMPROVING EMPLOYEE BENEFITS FOR OTHER MUNICIPALITIES
Throughout our 24 years of experience in implementing cost - effective employee benefit solutions,
Rachel Sapoznik with Sapoznik Insurance has successfully stabilized costs and implemented
countless value -added benefits for a wide array of municipalities and government entities. Our
understanding of every facet of the benefits process has enabled Sapoznik Insurance to provide
coverage to all client municipal employees and their dependents, and administer all benefit
activities and claims issues for these accounts. Among our many commitments to providing coverage
for our municipal clients is our active annual negotiations of premium rates across all carriers and
products, ensuring that your municipality receives the most competitive rate in the industry.
Sapoznik Insurance has implemented full- service benefit plans across all lines of coverage for a
variety of municipalities, successfully handling all their needs from negotiations and enrollments, to
claims and wellness activities.

wellness programs. In particular, we have improved programs for:

Insurance R3 o` eo- uge Servlces RFP NO, SM......201 1 -08 -HR
We are also sensitive to the fact that when an employee reaches out to our office, more often than

moments, it is company policy that our staff responds to such circumstances with the utmost sense of
urgency. Examples of service requests considered urgent, may include but are not limited to the
following:

our team on behalf of employees results in:
• Rapid Billing and claims resolution
• Reduced burden on HR /personnel department resources
• Reduction of 'on- the - clock' involvement
• Greater employee productivity
• Reduction of absenteeism
8. How do you measure client satisfaction?
QUALITY CONTROL EXPERIENCE
Our form of monitoring client satisfaction is simple yet immensely powerful — it involves our
constant communication with our clients. Real -time interaction between our support staff and our
clients takes place on a daily basis, giving us immediate feedback. Feedback is channeled
through Managers and allows for decisive action and improvement when necessary. We are also
able to offer employee surveys to gauge satisfaction with, and utilization of, your benefit plans.
We are quickly able to measure those areas that may need to be addressed as well as partner
with your employees to facilitate their benefits experience. At Sapoznik, we understand the value
of recruiting and retaining employees who represent the greatest contribution to the City of South
Miami.
Through our technology platform we are able to monitor the quality of our services, the timeliness
of our responses, and track the resolution record of claims.

10. Describe your experience in provider network development, recruitment and negotiation,
and maintenance.
CONTINUOUS EXAMINATION OF POLICIES, AMENDMENTS & CONTRACTS
Securing the best insurance package for your business begins with planning. Analyzing all your
risks is critical to successful implementation of your employer group benefits. Sapoznik Insurance
will partner with you by providing ongoing assistance, consultation and service that will help you
control your insurance expenses, choose the best plan to fit your company's needs and review
any policy amendments, service agreements or contracts.
You face many employee benefit challenges, including internal resources, time management,
employee education, compliance with federal and state legislation, trend increases, pharmacy
costs and increased litigation activity. This demanding environment dictates a change in the way
you purchase and manage your insurance programs. In order to compete in your marketplace
you must adopt a total cost of employee benefits management philosophy based on data - driven
decisions and globally positioned communications. We specialize in evaluating, negotiating with,
and recommending insurers and providers to our clients, and we employ rigorous selection
criteria and performance objectives when considering a vendor.
RENEWAL PROCESS & TIMELINES
We understand the need to partner with our clients and be sensitive to deadlines and budgetary
constraints. Our dedicated service spans throughout the year, and we continually work behind the
scenes to make sure that the administration and negotiation of your benefits is a fluid process. For
this reason, Sapoznik begins the renewal process no later than six months in advance to your
group's renewal, allowing us to partner with you to accommodate the benefits you need within
your budget. Six months prior to renewal, the process begins with discussing relevant data,
strategies and objectives to be met for the upcoming year. It is at this point that the active quoting
process starts with interviewing of viable carriers followed by creation of a formal RFP, including:
Gathering of all relevant raw data (Census, Claims, Medical Loss Ratio, Backup Data, etc.) that is
processed into a custom electronic format appropriate for each respective carrier's specifications.
For suggested renewal timeline please refer to Appendix A.
QUOTING & NEGOTIATING
Our In -House Quoting Department then processes this data, formatting it to the specific
requirements of each carrier on each line of coverage. For the next several weeks we work
diligently with respective carriers and underwriters in order to secure the best possible initial bids.
We capitalize on the strength of our relationships with each carrier to allow us to deeply
negotiate plans until we reach the absolute best final rates and deliver them to you. With our
experience and flexibility, we can customize our products and services to help deliver the right
benefit solutions today, and as your employees' needs evolve, over time.
Once bids are received from all carriers, another in- depth analysis is performed to identify
strengths and deficiencies with each submitted proposal. We once again work with each carrier
and underwriter to further negotiate each offering until we reach the "best and final" proposal.

COMPLETE RENEWAL PACKAGE
At this stage, preparation of a detailed comprehensive analysis begins. Carrier submissions are
formatted and structured into a custom presentation allowing for side -by -side comparisons of
benefits and costs. This process is repeated for each separate line of coverage. This permits us to
meet with the City of South Miami staff to review all proposals in an easy to interpret format so
that staff may make a well- informed decision of which carriers and plans best meet the current
and upcoming objectives set forth by the City.
IR41,1:14'L7 tif'il44i[I2[e
We request a renewal meeting upon securing a thorough line of benefit options and alternate
proposals to present to you several months in advance to your renewal. We will work with the City
of South Miami to select the most fitting level of coverage within your budget. We are then
available as needed for additional meetings with Staff that may also include focus -group
meetings with cross - sections of City Personnel and City Council (if needed) prior to making an
Official Recommendation. At this point, plan recommendations are formally presented before the
City of South Miami for approval. Sapoznik Insurance conducts a follow up meeting prior to the
renewal date to communicate benefit choices to the employer, and discuss implementation at
renewal.
WORKING WITHIN A BUDGET
Sapoznik Insurance is the expert at developing plan strategies that identify the most economical
funding methods. Their process includes preliminary meetings prior to the renewal where
evaluations are made as to plan offerings and benefits that fit within the range of your budget.
We will consult with the City of South Miami as to the best funding methods by evaluating relevant
factors including the number or plan participants, number of plans offered and contribution
strategies.
Our evaluation then permits us to effectively use payroll contribution models to drive participation
and migrate plan members into economically sensible plan options. Additionally, we strive to
provide choices for all plan members that are sensitive to their respective individual and family
needs.
IDENTIFYING OPPORTUNITIES TO SAVE:
We review all employee claims and plan utilization to determine what factors are crucial towards
selecting plan designs. This in turn, translates to savings for our clients, as our education platforms
seek to drive employees towards more informed consumerism.
REVIEWING PLANS FOR COMPLIANCE
We work with your Human Resources personnel and the selected carriers to ensure that all plans
are in compliance, and that the administration of employee benefits meets the guidelines set forth

plan analysis and design.
BENEFITS ANALYSIS & RESEARCH
Sapoznik Insurance has managed medical benefit programs for hundreds of employer groups in
an effort to keep costs below comparable levels experienced by other employers. Our aggressive
management technique includes a number of internal medical management and preventive health
initiatives.
As the health care industry continues to change, we have remained ahead of the game. With
leading -edge technology, we obtain meaningful information that helps us evaluate cost drivers,
trends and savings opportunities associated with our clients' employee benefits. In addition, we
work to evaluate the impact of future plan changes.
We provide employer groups with tools that will offer consistent year -to -year data, reporting
formats and comparative benchmarks. This highly meaningful — yet understandable — information
enables us to work together with your data in a continuous, interactive manner as plan
management issues arise.
12. Explain in detail the types of analyses you have conducted relative to benefits analysis
and design for a health plan with at least 100 employees.
MANAGING COSTS THROUGH ANALYTICS & RESEARCH
You face soaring health care and prescription drug costs, but lack the data you need to
make money- saving decisions. Sapoznik Insurance has an internal web -based decision
-- making & reporting system, Decision Master Warehouse (DMW), that allows you to assess
your group medical and Rx plans with an easy -to -use management report. Through this
system we can offer you clear recommendations to combat problems with utilization and
plan costs based on analysis of your carrier data. You'll have the solid, high - quality
information you need to formulate plan design decisions. For a sampling of DMW
capabilities, please refer to appendix A: Technology.
REPORTING FINDINGS
Our reporting capabilities allow us to provide you with important data on which to base
your vendor selections and coverage choices. We can provide results to you in a variety
of formats, and seek to meet with your personnel monthly to monitor plan performance,
and continuously evaluate your employee benefits strategy.
CONDUCTING SURVEYS & STUDIES
Through our HRConnection portal on our exclusive technology platform, Sapoznik Insurance
is able to conduct surveys across your employees, and compare data across a variety of
other data sets. We often conduct employee surveys to help employers custom - tailor their
benefits to their employees needs, increasing satisfaction and productivity.
BENCHMARKING OTHER EMPLOYERS & INDUSTRIES
An area where we continuously excel is our strategy towards understanding, negotiating
and implementing benefits. One of the most important components of this strategy is

COMMUNICATION CAPABILITIES
Understanding the complexity of employee benefits plans is a challenge even for experienced
benefits managers. Employers need to keep abreast of constantly changing trends, laws and other
regulations. Employees need to be able to understand their benefits well in order to be wise
consumers and understand the value of their "hidden paycheck." Unfortunately, most employers
have limited resources in this area.
The Sapoznik Insurance team helps you tackle your employee communication challenges. With
strategic planning and a thorough understanding of your communication objectives, we provide
custom communication materials in both paper and electronic format that will help both you and
your employees understand your plans and the issues influencing your benefits decisions. Below
are the types of custom communications we offer — with a few samples included. Please refer to
appendix B: COMMUNICATION CAPABILITIES for a comprehensive overview of our communication
pieces and strategy
SUMMARY PLAN DESCRIPTION (KITS & BENEFIT HIGHLIGHTS)
Many employees don't take full advantage of their benefits because they don't understand them,
and communicating the increased complexity of employee benefits is a challenge. We seek to
educate employees about your benefits and how to best use their plan with a range of materials
from Sapoznik Insurance. Plus, our communications can help employees understand how various
laws impact them and their families, such as health care reform, COBRA and FMLA. As a leader in
program implementation and communication, Sapoznik customizes enrollment kits for each of our
clients, with crucial printed information for each employee to take home about their benefits,

not just at open enrollment, but also throughout the duration of the year.

SELECTING A PROVIDER
Sapoznik Insurance is completely unbiased towards the selection of any carrier, and partners
with senior level and Human Resources personnel, allowing the City of .South Miami to select
your Health Insurance from a range of proposals. We determine vendor and benefit plan
selection after an extensive evaluation is performed where we address plan structure as it
relates to employer and employee costs.
Thanks to our aggressive renewal process and quoting process with carriers, we may present
the option to switch insurance carriers towards plans with stronger benefit structures, lower
costs or both. In the event of a change in insurance carrier, Sapoznik provides stable platform
for seamless transition guided by our dedicated staff. Their proven approach embodies a
strong explanation of benefits while educating all members on efficient plan utilization.
Sapoznik Insurance is a fully independent Florida private insurance corporation with no
financial interest in the companies through which our services are provided. Sapoznik has
concentrated its experience in employee benefits and has no single client or account
contributing more than the standard commission from any Health Insurance carrier.
Concentration risk is further mitigated by diversity with respect to market sector. Sapoznik's
objectivity towards the Health Insurance Carrier selection process ensures that the client
receives the best benefits at the lowest price without any bias.
OBJECTIVITY
Sapoznik Insurance's relationships with carriers will not lessen our objectivity or independence
on any decision and represent absolutely no conflict of interests. Our preferred carrier

Below is a summary of one of our many successes in full- service benefits for City of North Miami
As the City of North Miami's incumbent agent for the past 7 years, our depth and understanding
of the Municipality and its employees needs are unparralled. We have placed special focus on
working alongside the City lending our direct support and attention. What has truly set us apart is
the way Sapoznik Insurance has been able to negotiate renewals and plan designs. Prior to
Sapoznik Insurance becoming involved, the City of North Miami had no claims experience reports
and no tracking ability — resulting in year- after -year double digit rate increases from the City's
previous health care provider, AvMed. The refusal of the carrier to provide the claims experience
left the City with no way of targeting critical issues. City staff's 2001 RFQ resulted in declinations
from all carrriers leaving the City with no other option but to accept AvMed's elevated renewal
rates and unfavorable terms.
Sapoznik Insurance successfully restructured City of North Miami's entire benefit program by
implementing in -depth claims analysis, robust wellness programs in cooperation with City Staff,
access to one -on -one customer service for employees both active and retired greatly enhancing:
• Quality of the benefits
• Strength of the carrier
• National network to keep City in compliance with commitment to retirees
• Customized, online, on- demand reporting capabilities
As a direct result, City Staff and Sapoznik Insurance were able to properly identify and track
critical issues related to the wellness of the employee population. Our agency was able to
develop and implement a proactive health and wellness campaign. The success of these programs
is now evident. The City's negotiated renewals are below the National average with the last 3
year's negotiated renewals.

licensed agent's business card and reinforce not only their personal availability, but that
of the entire Sapoznik Agency, to each and every City of South Miami employee directly,
every day of the year to assist with any matters that may arise. Open enrollments are
conducted by a licensed insurance agent with carrier representatives to educate
employees about their selected Benefit Plans among all lines of coverage, as well as all
agency services.
As an added benefit, Sapoznik also hosts on -site new hire enrollments throughout the year
to communicate employer benefit plans to new employees.

23. Discuss your firm's quality assurance policies and procedures. How do you measure
whether you are meeting these standards? What is the frequency of any such review?
SURVEYING & FOCUS GROUPS
We can provide our clients with a wide array of surveying and focus groups to determine
satisfaction with employee benefits programs and capture data on which to make future
recommendations for plan modification. We are prepared to conduct surveys that detail items such
as range of coverage, cost of premium, co-pays, co-insurance, deductibles and plan design
information, as well as taking recommendations, Our findings can then be presented to your staff,
as we work together towards building the most comprehensive benefits strategy to meet the
unique needs of all your employees. We can customize these surveys to reflect your logo and
color scheme, as well as include any additional questions that you may wish to be answered by
your employees.
24. Detail your ability to monitor regulatory and legislative developments at both the state
and federal level and how this will benefit the City and be communicated to the City.
COMPLIANCE SERVICES
We regularly monitor legislative developments and are committed to keeping the City of South
Miami in compliance with current laws and regulations surrounding employee benefits. Our agency
currently audits all incoming and renewing groups for compliance and standards testing through
our carriers. Groups are monitored to assure they meet the requirements under current US
legislation and Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), as outlined by the United States
Department of Labor. We continuously review all our plans for compliance with the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), The Employee Retirement Income
Security Act (ERISA), The Mental Health Parity Act of 1996 (MHPA), Medicaid and Children's
Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985
(COBRA), and most recently, the Patient Protection and Affordable Core Act (PPACA) & The
Health Care Affordability Reconciliation Bill (HR 4872).
Our firm provides compliance services to our groups through the following measures
• Monitoring compliance with employee benefit regulations
* Facilitating the reporting and disclosure of relevant benefit information
• Providing documents and model notices as required under federal law
Our audit services extend past the traditional parameters to include compliance with not only
benefit laws, but also the administration and implementation of your groups benefits.
Sopoznik Compliance Audits measure the following aspects of benefits testing
• Contribution requirements
• Employee Eligibility
• Non-Discrimination
• Mental Health Parity
• Waiting Periods
• Pre-existing Conditions Limitations
• Oualified Medical Expenses
• Annual Contributions to Health Savings Accounts

• Annual & Lifetime Limits
• COBRA Eligibility
• Medicare & Medicaid Eligibility
We pride ourselves on our ability to partner with health insurance providers to bring you
unparalleled benefits administration that adheres to legislation as outlined by the United States
Department of Labor, the authority on workplace and labor law and enforcement
The passage of the Health Care Reform Actin 2010 yielded an entirely new set of benefit laws,
mandates, and implementation requirements that required special attention for compliance
standards. Our firm expanded to include a Research sector to stay abreast of any and all
legislative changes not only to Health Care Reform, but also to the benefits landscape. Since laws
surrounding benefits are diverse and complex, operating on both state and federal platforms, our
team dissects all legislation for our employees in-state and nation wide. We provide continuous
legislative updates and model notice reporting for any and all benefit changes required by low.
In addition, we also provide benefit notices about regarding useful information surrounding the
new bills.
COMMUNICATION METHODS
We have found over the years the most effective method of relaying information to employees is
through email communication. Any time we need to send out a model notice about a benefits
change or mandate, we first email it to the Human Resources Supervisor for approval, and if
requested, to their employee pool. For convenience we provide both plain text and PDF
documents, as well as embedded email text for easy reading both at a computer and on a
Smartphone. We attach printable versions (PDFs) to all legislative update emails for physical
distribution.
Sapoznik Insurance understands the complex and ever-changing legislation surrounding employee
benefits, and we are dedicated to keeping our clients in compliance with the mandates as they
evolve.
COMPLIANCE COMMUNICATION TOOLS
Our firm provides compliance services & communications to our groups through the following
measures:
Legislative Briefs
Sapoznik Insurance is happy to provide our clients with exclusive Legislative Brief publications that
summarize recent federal legislative developments in insurance and employee benefits. These
informative documents are researched and written in an easy-to-read manner by experienced
benefits attorneys.
Model Notice Reporting
We provide model notices to our clients and their employees as outlined by the IRS and other
federal and state legislation. We can provide these model notices in both paper and email
format.
37
insurance Brokerogo Servic(as RFP NO, pia 2011 l -08-1-IR
Outbound Media

including (but not limited to): newsletters, posters, flyers, payroll stuffers, emails, model notices,
and more
Customized Presentations
In the event that legislation should be passed that effects the benefit plans of our groups and their
