Director Baird gave the following reasons for selection of Direct Dental Systems: <br />1) Lowest participation requirements; <br />2) Employees can go to the dentist of their choice; <br />3) Easiest plan to understand (for employees); <br />4) Best quoted prices at that participation level. <br />Commissioner Ginn felt the 8% commission for local agent, Ron McCall, was rather <br />stiff, and Director Baird explained that Mr. McCall had brought the proposer to the table and <br />felt he deserved some form of commission. <br />Director Baird suggested the Board discuss a reasonable commission when the <br />contract comes back for approval. Director Baird gave assurances that he made extra efforts <br />to ensure that all local providers received the proposal. (23 vendors were sent proposals) <br />Commissioner Eggert understood the commission generally paid statewide is 3-3-1/2 <br />percent and would need to know a good reason to go higher. <br />Barry Noorigian, a new representative of American Dental Plan (County's current <br />dental plan), admitted to difficulties in the past. He advised that the company would like to <br />offer participation along with the plan presented today. Ninety to 100 employees have <br />participated in ADP. He realized that there was only one general dentist currently in the <br />plan whose office is in Sebastian; however, Palm Tree Dental (opening in Indian River Mall <br />end of March) and Coast Florida (opening in May), both coming to Vero Beach, will be <br />joining the ADP. This would allow the employees to have a choice between the two plans. <br />Minimum enrollment would be 3 employees. <br />Director Baird reminded the Commissioners that what drove the search for a new <br />dental provider was the extreme dissatisfaction with ADP. He recommended against having <br />both plans. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED BY <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously (4-0 Vice <br />Chairman Macht absent) approved Direct Dental Systems, Inc. <br />as the employee group dental provider; authorized the pre-tax <br />premium deduction as provided by the Third Amendment to the <br />county's premium conversion plan; and adopted Resolution No. <br />98-30 to effect the deduction, as recommended in the <br />Memorandum. <br />March 3, 1998 <br />W <br />40 0 <br />
