It was a goal to consolidate COBRA and FSA services <br />under one vendor. Our goal was also to improve the retiree billing experience for our retirees by selecting <br />a vendor who could provide an improved customer service experience as well as provide accurate written <br />communications. <br />Total Administrative Services Corporation (TASC) currently provides FSA and retiree billing services and <br />Chard Snyder provides COBRA continuation services. <br />• The current per participant per month cost for FSA with TASC is $3.64. <br />• The current per retiree per month cost for retiree billing with TASC is $2.05. <br />• The current per benefit eligible employee & retiree per month cost for COBRA services with Chard <br />Snyder is $.40. <br />Our broker/consultant, Lockton Companies marketed these services. The initial marketing analysis is <br />attached. Seven (7) vendors met the marketing criteria as noted below: <br />Ameriflex <br />Medical FSA <br />257 <br />$3.64 <br />Dependent Care FSA Only <br />3 <br />$3.64 <br />Additional Employees in Ext.
