About this file
This is a January 2026 rate renewal document for the City of Wheat Ridge's employee benefits program through CEBT (Colorado Education Benefits Trust), Branch 00S8, detailing medical, dental, vision, and life insurance plan changes and pricing for the upcoming plan year. The City of Wheat Ridge is renewing its employee benefits offerings, which include multiple medical plan options (PPO, HDHP, Kaiser DHMO, Kaiser HDHP, EPO, and Surest plans), dental coverage through Delta Dental of Colorado, vision coverage through UMR and VSP, and life insurance through The Standard Insurance Company. New plan options effective January 1, 2026, include Kaiser DHMO plans at $3,000 and $4,000 deductible levels, Kaiser HMO plans at $55 and $65 copay levels, and EPO Select plans with tiered cost sharing. The City was required to submit its renewal acceptance by October 10, 2025, with open enrollment to occur between October and mid-November 2025, and enrollment changes due to WTW by November 14, 2025, to ensure ID card delivery by January 1, 2026. Termination notice was required by November 1, 2025.
The overall CEBT medical rate renewal reflects an 11 percent increase across most plans, driven by an adjusted loss ratio of 95.3 percent, 8 percent medical and pharmacy trend assumptions, 6.6 percent plan administration expense, 1.9 percent stop loss premium, and 1.25 percent allocation for PSR and IBNR deficiency, resulting in a total 14.1 percent rate increase offset by $2 million in investment income. The City's specific loss ratio of 88.0 percent places it in bracket 3, resulting in an 11 percent medical rate increase, while dental rates increase 10 percent and vision rates remain flat at 0 percent. Life insurance rates remain unchanged. Additional program enhancements effective January 1, 2026, include expanded dependent out-of-area benefits, coverage for abortions and sterilization procedures, sexually transmitted infection treatment at 100 percent with no cost-share, doula services under perinatal health outcomes, and ongoing utilization management programs including Lantern Infusion Care, PrudentRx specialty drug assistance, and telehealth waivers for HDHP plans.

July 1, 2025, Plan Change Reminders
UPDATED | Telemedicine (CEBT HDHP Plans Only)—The HDHP telehealth safe harbor was permanently extended as part of the Budget Reconciliation Act on July 4. This resulted in services through Teladoc and the CEBT Health & Wellness Centers waiving cost share for members on CEBT high-deductible health plans (HDHP).
Lantern Infusion Care—A site-of-care management program for infusion therapy through Lantern will be available for those enrolled in the CEBT PPO, EPO, HD, and Surest plans. This program allows for lower negotiated rates on infusions either in-home or at ambulatory infusion centers, providing members access to the most appropriate site of care with no member cost share on the PPO, EPO, and Surest plans and after deductible on HDHP plans. Being treated outside of a hospital setting, members will have access to personalized support from a clinical care team to educate and guide them during their infusion therapy journey.
PrudentRx Specialty Drug Cost Savings Program—PrudentRx is a copay assistance program designed to help with the out-of-pocket costs of specialty medications under Caremark’s prescription drug benefits on the CEBT PPO and EPO plans Through this program, members will have access to manufacturer copay assistance programs, reducing the out-of-pocket costs to $0 for certain eligible specialty drugs.

2022-11-30 Health & Benefits Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures (US & Canada) (Commission Only)
Health & Benefits Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures
Your decision to purchase insurance coverages, products, and/or services through a WTW company is subject to the following terms and conditions (the “Brokerage Terms”).
Brokerage Terms and Conditions
The services we provide to you will rely in significant part on the facts, information and direction provided by you or your authorized representatives. You must provide us with complete and accurate information regarding your loss experience, risk exposures, and changes in the analysis or scope of your risk exposures and any other information reasonably requested by us or insurers. It is important that you advise us of any changes in your business operations that may affect our services or your insurance coverages. Therefore, all information which is material to your coverage requirements or which might influence insurers in deciding to accept your business, finalizing the terms to apply and/or the cost of cover, or deciding to pay a claim, must be disclosed. Failure to make full disclosure of material facts might potentially allow insurers to avoid liability for a particular claim or to void the policy. This duty of disclosure applies equally at renewal or modification of your existing coverage and upon placement of new lines of coverage. You agree that WTW will not be responsible for any consequences arising from any delayed, inaccurate or incomplete information.
An insurer quote is an offer to provide coverage. Offers can be modified or withdrawn prior to your acceptance through your order to bind coverage. The quote itself is not a legally binding commitment or a confirmation of actual coverage. Should you choose to bind coverage, we will secure a formal commitment typically in the form of a binder on a form issued or approved by the insurer(s) at issue. The quotes we will provide to you are based upon the information that you have provided to us. If you discover that previously submitted information is inaccurate or incomplete, please advise us immediately so that we can attempt to revalidate terms with insurers.
At the time of binding, we review the financial soundness of the insurers we recommend to provide your coverages based on publicly available information, including that produced by well-recognized rating agencies. Upon request, we will provide you with our analysis of such insurers. We do not guarantee or warrant the solvency of any insurer or any intermediary that we may use to place your coverage.
If you have a multi-year policy, it is important that you understand the limitations associated with the coverage options and the possibility that the financial strength of the insurer may change throughout the term of the policy. We recommend that you review the insurer's ratings for any downgrades during the term of this multi-year policy.
The final decisions with respect to all matters relating to your insurance coverages, risk management, and loss control needs and activities are yours. We will procure the insurance coverage chosen by you, including the limits you choose, prepare or forward insurance binders, if applicable, and review and transmit policies to you.
We will review all binders, policies and endorsements to confirm their accuracy and conformity to negotiated specifications and your instructions and advise you of any errors in, or recommended changes to, such documents. You agree that you will also review all such documents and promptly advise us of any questions you have or of any document or provision which you believe may not be in accordance with your instructions as soon as possible, and in no event longer than two weeks, after you receive them. Your coverage is defined by the terms and conditions detailed in your insurance policies and endorsements. Your review of these documents, and any review you may seek from outside legal counsel or insurance consultants, is expected and essential.
You must timely and properly report all claims in accordance with your insurance policies. You agree that we are not responsible for reporting claims on your behalf. Failure to timely and properly report a claim may jeopardize coverage for the claim. In addition, you should retain copies of all insurance policies and coverage documents as well as claims-reporting instructions after termination of the policies because in some cases you may need to report claims after termination of a policy.
Our compensation may be revised if you request a change in the coverages and/or services we provide under the SOW or these Brokerage Terms and we enter into a written agreement documenting any change in coverages, services and compensation. If we are compensated by commissions paid by insurers, we will be entitled to retain the commissions for new coverages, revised coverages, or other material change in coverages.
2022-11-30 Health & Benefits Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures (US & Canada) (Commission Only)
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, in the event of termination, we will be entitled to receive and retain any commissions payable under the terms of our commission agreements with the insurers in relation to policies placed by us, whether or not the commissions have been received by us.
Our obligation to render services to you ceases on: (a) the effective date of termination of the SOW, or (b) if you have not entered into a SOW, the earlier of: (i) 60 days prior written notice by either party terminating the services, or (ii) with respect to any coverage subject to these Brokerage Terms, the effective date of a change in your broker of record for that coverage (the “Termination Date”). Nevertheless, we will take reasonable steps to assist in the orderly transition of matters to you or to a new insurance broker. Claims and premium or other adjustments may arise after the Termination Date, and we have no responsibility to handle these things after our relationship ends. Such items are normally handled by the insurance broker serving you at the time the claim or adjustment arises. However, we will consider providing such services after the Termination Date for mutually agreed additional compensation. Nevertheless, we will process all remaining deposit premium installments on the policy(ies) in effect on the Termination Date.
The insurance market is complex, and there could be other relationships which are not described in this document which might create conflicts of interest. If a conflict arises for which there is no practicable way of complying with this commitment, we will promptly inform you and withdraw from the engagement, unless you wish us to continue to provide the services and provide your written consent. Please let us know in writing if you have concerns or we will assume that you understand and consent to our providing our services pursuant to these Brokerage Terms.
If we are assisting you with stop loss coverage, you understand and agree that we are acting as an independent consultant/broker in assisting you with the placement of stop loss coverage. You further agree that our role is limited to assistance in resolution of broad issues or systemic disputes between you and your selected carrier relative to dissatisfaction with a carrier’s products or services, including processing of claims, delayed payment of claims, missing/incorrect data feeds, and gaps or omissions between any final proposal document and implemented coverage. We are not able to provide an opinion on whether any particular complete or partial claim denial, is appropriate. Our role relative to any specific claim disputes would be limited to facilitation of a discussion between the stop loss carrier, medical/prescription drug administrator, and you to outline the issues and identify next steps and responsible parties. For avoidance of doubt, facilitation of specific claim disputes among the parties is not included in our services, unless specifically outlined in a separate statement of work and scope of services. If you would like us to perform that function, please let us know and we will work with you to determine the scope and fees for such work.
Brokerage Disclosures
If a WTW affiliate or office located outside of the United States or Canada serves as an intermediary in the placement of your coverages, it will also earn and retain compensation for providing those services which compensation may not be included in the fee.
To the extent WTW is compensated by commissions paid to us by insurers, they will be earned for the entire policy period at the time we place policies for you. We will be paid the commission percentage stated for the placement of your insurance as indicated and will receive the same commission percentage for all subsequent renewals of this policy unless a different commission percentage is disclosed to you, or unless the insurer changes its commission rates, in which case the new commission rate will be disclosed to you before placement of the policy.
The compensation that will be paid to WTW will vary based on the insurance contract it sells. Depending on the insurer and insurance contract you select, compensation may be paid by the insurer selling the insurance contract or by another third party. Such compensation may be contingent and may vary depending on a number of factors, including the insurance contract and insurer you select. In some cases, other factors such as the volume of business WTW provides to the insurer or the profitability of insurance contracts WTW provides to the insurer also may affect compensation. WTW may accept this compensation in locations where it is legally permissible and meets standards and controls to address conflicts of interest.
Whether or how much insurers may pay in contingent compensation does not play any role in WTW’s placement recommendations on behalf of its clients. WTW will decline to accept contingent compensation from an insurer if such compensation cannot be attributed or allocated by the insurer to a particular client.
If you prefer that we not accept contingent compensation related to your policy, please notify us in writing and we will request that your insurer(s) exclude your business from their contingent payment calculations.
Upon request, WTW will provide you with additional information about the compensation WTW expects to receive based in whole or in part on your purchase of insurance, and (if applicable) the compensation expected to be received based in whole or in part on any alternative quotes presented to you.
2022-11-30 Health & Benefits Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures (US & Canada) (Commission Only)
WTW may place your insurance or other business with members of a panel of insurers or other vendors.
WTW develops panels of insurers and vendors in certain market segments. Participating insurers and vendors are reviewed on a variety of factors. Commission or fee rates on panel placements may be higher than rates paid on business placed outside of the panel process. WTW discloses its commission rates to clients on quotes obtained through the panel process prior to binding the coverage. In some instances, insurers or vendors pay an administration or management fee to participate in the panel process or for additional reporting. In some instances, WTW may earn a referral fee for referring your business to certain vendors.
In some cases, the use of a wholesale broker may be beneficial to you. We will not directly or indirectly place or renew your insurance business through a wholesale broker unless we first disclose to you in writing any compensation we or our corporate parents, subsidiaries or affiliates will receive as a result. If wholesalers, underwriting managers or managing general agents have a role in providing insurance products and services to you, they will also earn and retain compensation for their role in providing those products and services. If any such parties are corporate parents, subsidiaries or affiliates of ours, any compensation we or our corporate parents, subsidiaries or affiliates will receive will be included in the total compensation we disclose to you. If such parties are not affiliated with us, and if you desire more information regarding the compensation those parties will receive, please contact us and we will assist you in obtaining this information.
Commission schedules and other compensation arrangements related to our services on your behalf may change over time and may not always be congruent with your specific policy period. WTW will provide you with accurate information to the best of our knowledge when information is presented to you, but it is possible that compensation arrangements may change over time. We will update you on any changes to our compensation prior to your renewal and will do so at any time upon your request.
As an insurance intermediary, we normally act for you. However, we or our corporate parents, subsidiaries or affiliates may also provide services to insurers for which we may earn compensation. These services may include, for example, acting as a managing general agent, program manager or in other similar capacities which give us binding authority enabling us to accept business on their behalf and immediately provide coverage for a risk or providing third party administration and other services to insurers. Contracts with these insurers may grant us certain rights or create certain obligations regarding the marketing of insurance by the insurers. When we place your insurance business in such a situation as we will receive compensation related to these services from an insurer, we will inform you and disclose that we may receive compensation. In addition, these services may include providing services to insurers as a client. For example, we or they may provide consulting, brokerage, outsourced administration or reinsurance services to insurer clients. In such cases we or they will be compensated, separately for the services provided to those insurer clients. Some of these insurer clients may happen to be insurers with whom we place your insurance coverages. The services provided to you and the services provided to our insurer clients are separate and any compensation earned for the services provided to insurer clients are separate from and in addition to the compensation we earn for the services we provide you under these Brokerage Terms.
We are members of a major international group of companies. In addition to the commissions received by us from insurers for placement of your insurance coverages, other parties, such as excess and surplus lines brokers, wholesale brokers, reinsurance intermediaries, underwriting managers and similar parties (some of which may be owned in whole or in part by our corporate parents or affiliates), may earn and retain usual and customary commissions for their role in providing insurance products or services to you under their separate contracts with insurers or reinsurers.
To comply with applicable anti-money laundering regulations there are times when we may ask clients to confirm (or reconfirm) their identity. We may need to do this at the time you become a client or have been one for some time or for example, when checking details on proposal forms and transferring claims payments. This information may be shared with other subsidiaries of WTW PLC and where we deem necessary with regulatory or law enforcement bodies. Please note that we are prohibited from disclosing to you any report we may make based on knowledge or suspicion of money laundering, including the fact that such a report has been made.
We have systems that protect our clients and ourselves against fraud and other crime and we may utilize the services of third parties in order to identify and verify clients. Client information can be used to prevent crime and trace those responsible. We may check your details against financial crime databanks. If false or inaccurate information is provided, we may be obliged to pass such details to relevant regulatory agencies that may use this information.
Disclosures only applicable in the United States.
2022-11-30 Health & Benefits Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures (US & Canada) (Commission Only)
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (CAA) amends ERISA by requiring brokers and consultants to disclose both direct and indirect compensation received in relation to services provided to the group health plan. In general, direct compensation received by us is any fee you pay to us using plan assets and indirect compensation is generally any other compensation we receive in connection with our services to the plan as your broker or consultant. The description of our services and our compensation (direct, indirect, or other compensation) we receive in connection with the services we provide to you can be found in one or all of the following documents, as applicable to our arrangement: Master Services Agreement/Terms and Conditions, Statement(s) of Work, Brokerage Terms, Conditions and Disclosures Document, Additional Insurance Terms & Disclosure Document and/or a stand-alone Compensation Disclosure Document. For additional information regarding the above disclosure requirements, please see ERISA Section 408(b)(2)(B).
WTW and its employees may receive indirect compensation from plan vendors and service providers (such as insurers or third party administrators) that is not in connection with any particular client. This incidental compensation includes items such as promotional and holiday gifts, meals, tickets to a sporting or entertainment event, or expense reimbursement in connection with educational meetings, client workshops or events, or marketing or advertising initiatives, including services for identifying prospective clients. Plan vendors and service providers may also pay or reimburse WTW for the costs associated with education or training events that may be attended by WTW employees and WTW-sponsored conferences and events.
Based upon historical data and on a per client basis, WTW estimates the value of the above compensation is less than $100 per client annually.
If and to the extent that any portion of WTW's compensation is to be paid by or on behalf of any employee health or other welfare benefit plan ("Plan"), including commissions derived from Plan assets, then you will secure the approval of the applicable Plan fiduciaries for such portion of our compensation. You, and if applicable, the Plan fiduciaries, and not WTW, will determine whether any payment utilizing, or deriving from, Plan assets is appropriate. Based on historical market data, we estimate that our commissions may range from 0% to 20% of premium depending on lines of coverages selected, the insurer selected, and geographical location. Based on historical market data, we estimate that directed fees we may receive from insurers/third party administrators in connection with your self-funded plans may range between $0 and $10 per employee per month or between 0% and 5% of monthly fees. Refined estimates of the amounts we might earn as described in this paragraph will be discussed with you and disclosed to you prior to placement.
WTW will provide details concerning its charges to enable you, and if applicable, the Plan fiduciaries to make such determinations, but any information that WTW provides to you with its invoices or otherwise should not be construed as advice regarding the appropriate use of Plan assets. You, and if applicable, the Plan fiduciaries are encouraged to consult with legal counsel regarding such matters. Unless you tell us otherwise, in providing our services we will assume that the employee welfare benefits you provide to your employees and with respect to which we provide services have been wrapped into a single Plan. To the extent that you or your Plan enter into an administrative services only contract with a third party administrator pursuant to which WTW receives a directed fee, you represent that all administrative fees are paid by you out of your general assets and will not be charged to the Plan.
As further explained in section 3.3, we may receive contingent compensation in relation to our brokerage services we provide to you. Based on historical market data, we estimate that our contingent compensation may range from 0% to 5% of the total premium placed for all lines of coverage.
We may also receive additional compensation from certain carriers depending on the line of business that we place for you. This additional compensation is distinct from contingent compensation and is additional compensation we receive in addition to the standard commission rate offered by carriers based upon pre-negotiated commission rates with carriers at a corporate level or in connection with the services we provide to you in section 3.5. Based upon historical market data, our additional compensation may be between 0% and 6% of the premium placed on particular lines of coverage and the carrier you choose. The amount of this compensation, if applicable, will be discussed with you and disclosed to you prior to placement.
WTW is not being engaged as a fiduciary or to provide investment advice and does not and will not perform or assume any fiduciary or trust responsibilities or liability in connection with the performance of the services.
You agree that the services to be performed by WTW under an applicable Statement of Work are ministerial and not fiduciary in nature, that WTW has no discretionary authority or control with respect to the management or administration of your employee benefit plan(s) or any Plan assets, that WTW is not providing any advice with respect to products that may have an investment component, and that WTW's compensation has not been set at levels intended to compensate it for assuming fiduciary liability. You retain full responsibility for decisions to purchase or not purchase insurance policies, all claims for benefits against the Plan and any other discretionary decisions by the Plan or any fiduciary, trustee, Plan administrator, or Plan committee.
2022-11-30 Health & Benefits Brokerage Terms, Conditions & Disclosures (US & Canada) (Commission Only)
You agree that any enrollment or census data provided to WTW will be provided by you in your role as an employer. You agree that you are responsible for your own access to and use of employee data, and that all persons whom you direct or request WTW to share employee data with are authorized to receive the employee data.
In the event that you and/or any of the employee benefit plans sponsored by you need to enter into business associate agreements with WTW to satisfy the requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, the regulations implementing that Act (the “Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information,” codified at 45 C.F.R. parts 160 and 164), or any other similar law, the parties will execute an agreement in compliance with these requirements.
If any of our affiliates or subcontractors receive compensation related to these services on a transaction basis as that term is defined in ERISA Section 408(b)(2)(B), we will identify the affiliate and/or subcontractor receiving such compensation. This Agreement or your agreement with that affiliate or subcontractor will detail the services those entities are providing to you and their compensation.
