This is a renewal document for a Group Dental Plan procurement issued by the School Board of Polk County, Florida. The document outlines the renewal terms for the voluntary, fully insured group dental plan for 2021 and 2022, continuing coverage for eligible employees and their dependents of the school district. The renewal maintains the existing plan structure and benefits previously established, with the contract extending through December 31, 2022. The document specifies the continuation of dental coverage offerings and establishes the framework for renewing the incumbent carrier's contract for the two-year period.

The renewal document addresses pricing adjustments and premium rates for the 2021 and 2022 plan years, reflecting any changes in claims experience and actuarial valuation. As a renewal of an existing group dental plan, the incumbent carrier continues to provide coverage under previously negotiated terms and conditions. The document maintains the voluntary nature of employee participation and confirms the fully insured arrangement, meaning the carrier assumes all claims risk. Funding for the plan is provided through a combination of school board contributions and employee premium contributions, with rates adjusted annually to reflect operational costs and claims experience for the covered population.
