Summary
This is a Benefits Guide for the City of St. Petersburg, Florida, covering employee health and welfare benefits for the 2026-2027 plan year (April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2027). The guide details comprehensive benefits available to full-time, full-time temporary, and certain part-time employees (averaging more than 30 hours weekly) and their eligible dependents. The City offers four medical plan options through UnitedHealthcare: Choice Plus PPO, Choice EPO, Choice High-Deductible Plan with Health Reimbursement Account, and High-Deductible Basic Plan. Additional benefits include dental coverage (DHMO and PPO plans through Humana), vision coverage (Basic and High plans through Humana), life insurance (basic and supplemental through The Standard), accidental death and dismemberment coverage, employee assistance programs through Ulliance, flexible spending accounts through Ameriflex, and a Health and Wellness Center providing primary care services at no cost to eligible employees. Open enrollment runs through March 6, 2026, with benefit changes effective April 1, 2026. Qualifying life events allow changes within 30 days of occurrence. Eligible dependents include legal spouses and children up to age 26 (age 30 for certain medical conditions).
Pricing varies by plan and coverage tier, with the City contributing substantial premiums toward employee coverage. Medical plan premiums for individual coverage range from approximately $688.93 (High-Deductible Basic) to $1,115.14 (Choice Plus) monthly, with employee deductions significantly lower due to City contributions. Dental premiums are minimal, ranging from $17.28 to $108.52 monthly depending on plan and coverage level. Vision premiums are similarly low at $0.92 to $15.42 monthly. Life insurance coverage is automatically provided to full-time employees at varying amounts based on classification, with supplemental coverage available at employee expense. Health Reimbursement Accounts under the Choice HDP are automatically funded by the City at $250 annually, with employees able to earn additional funds up to $700 (single) or $1,150 (family) through wellness activities. The guide indicates that benefits are funded through a combination of City contributions and employee pre-tax payroll deductions, with all eligible employees automatically enrolled in basic life insurance and required to designate beneficiaries.

In & Out-of-Network Benefits If you enroll in the Choice Plus, Choice HDP or HDP Basic plans you may use out-of-network providers for care. However, keep in mind that you will typically pay higher costs for out-of-network care. Your care is also subject to balance billing.

An out-of-network provider can charge you over and above what UHC considers their allowable amount. When possible, seek care in the UHC network.

Explanation of Plan Year Deductible and Plan Year Out-of-Pocket Maximum
Plan Year Deductible
The Plan Year Deductible is a specified dollar amount that you must pay if you use certain covered services.
The deductible resets every plan year. There are individual and family deductibles. Once an individual or a family deductible has been satisfied, coinsurance and/or copays may still apply. Coinsurance is your share of the costs of a health care service, and it is the amount you pay after the deductible has been met.
Plan Year Out-of-Pocket Maximum
The Plan Year Out-of-Pocket Maximum is the total amount of covered expenses, (including deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments) paid by you, either individually or combined as a covered family.
After the individual and/or family out-of-pocket maximum has been satisfied in a plan year, payment for in-network covered services for the covered individual/family will be payable by the plan at the rate of 100% for the remainder of the plan year, subject to any other terms, limitations, and exclusions.

Health Reimbursement Accounts
If you enroll in the Choice HDP, you will also have a Health Reimbursement Account.
The Health Reimbursement Account is funded by the City to help offset your out-of-pocket medical costs. There is no requirement that the account be pre-funded, and the funds remain in control of the City until an eligible reimbursement claim is submitted. Your account will automatically be funded with $250 each plan year.
When you are enrolled in the Choice HDP, you can increase the funding by completing wellness activities as follows:
• Taking a Health Risk Assessment at myuhc.com = $125
• Receive a Biometric Screening by your physician or at the Wellness Center and submit the biometric completion form to the Benefits Office = $200
• Attest to being tobacco free and submit a form to the Benefits Office = $125
All forms must be completed and submitted to Benefits by 12/31/2026, to receive funds for The 2026 Plan Year.
All forms can be found on the City Intranet/Internet.
If you have a dependent covered under the Choice HDP additional wellness incentive dollars can be earned.
The maximum contribution for an employee with single coverage is $700, and for an employee with employee and spouse or child coverage, the maximum amount is $1,150 (only spouses are required to complete the wellness activities).
Funds can be used to offset any deductibles and coinsurance you are responsible for. If you do not use all your HRA funds in the plan year, funds from the immediate prior plan year, will rollover up to a maximum of $2,300 ($700 for you and $450 for covered dependent).
See “Understanding the Choice HDP“ brochure for details. The HRA only applies to the Choice HDP Plan

Flexible Spending Account ( FSA)
If you choose Flexible Spending Accounts, you must enroll in Oracle each plan year. Enrollments do not automatically roll over to subsequent plan years.
Flexible Spending Accounts help you save money from your paycheck by using pre-tax contributions to pay for certain eligible healthcare or dependent care expenses. Your contributions are deducted before Federal and Social Security taxes are withheld. You will be reimbursed as claims for eligible expenses are submitted. Dependent care claims must be submitted as they are incurred online at ameriflex.com or you may contact Ameriflex Customer Service with any questions by dialing 1-888-868-3539 or email service@myameriflex.com.
Debit Card If you enroll in the Health Care FSA for the first time, you will receive a new debit card from our carrier Ameriflex for the 2026-2027 plan year. FSA debit cards can be used to pay for eligible expenses when eligible services are received or purchased. For a list of eligible expenses please visit FSAstore.com or scan the first QR code below.
You can contribute $300 - $3,400 per plan year to your Health Care FSA and $600 - $7,500 per plan year ($3,750 if married and filing separate tax returns) to your Dependent Care FSA ($600 minimum). The total amount you decide to contribute is deducted over the number of pay periods within your enrollment plan year. Be sure to estimate your yearly expenses carefully to determine your contribution amount.
Unreimbursed funds left in the Dependent Care account at the end of the year are forfeited. FSA does NOT carryover into your retirement.
Health Care Account Annual Contribution Limit: $3,400 The Health Care FSA reimburses eligible healthcare expenses incurred by you or your eligible dependent(s).
Eligible expenses include health care expenses, dental expenses and vision expenses. For a complete listing of eligible expenses see IRS Publication 502 at irs.gov. You must utilize the funds in the account during the plan year in which you contribute. You are allowed to carry over up to $680 in unused funds this year.
Anything unused over $680 will be forfeited. Scan the middle QR code for an FSA Presentation.
Dependent Care Account Annual Contribution Limit: $7,500 The Dependent Care FSA reimburses for expenses incurred for the care of a child under age 13, a disabled child or an elder dependent adult. A paid receipt with the caregiver’s name and dates of service is required.
Eligible for day care centers, elder care centers, nursery schools, summer day camps, and before-and-after school. There is no carry over for unused dependent care amounts, if amount elected is not used before the end of the plan year those funds are forfeited. Scan the last QR code for a Dependent Care Presentation.
