City of Tampa, Florida | 2026 Benefits Guide

Introduction

The City of Tampa understands that your benefits are important to you and your family. This Benefits guide provides a description of the City’s benefits program. More detailed information about all of your benefits can be found on the City’s Human Resources Department Employee Benefits page located on the City’s website www.tampagov.net/ benefits. Included in this guide are summary explanations of the benefits and costs, as well as contact information for each provider. It is important to remember that only those benefit programs for which you are eligible and have enrolled, apply to you.

We encourage you to review each section and to discuss your benefits with your family members.

Be sure to pay close attention to applicable co-payments and deductibles, how to file claims, pre-authorization requirements, participating networks, and services that may be limited or not covered (exclusions).

This guide is not an employee/employer contract.

It is not intended to cover all provisions of your plans, but rather a quick reference to help answer most of your questions. Please see your Summary Plan Description and/or carrier certificates for complete details. We hope this benefits guide will give you an overview of your benefits and help you be better prepared for the enrollment process.

Enrolling in Benefits If you are an eligible employee, regularly scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week, a qualified part-time employee, a retiree or an eligible dependent, you may make a change to your benefits if you experience a qualifying event.

You can also enroll or change benefits during our annual Open Enrollment period each year.

Benefits Eligibility Employee Eligibility Benefit eligible employees are provided the opportunity to participate in the City of Tampa sponsored health benefits program on the first full payroll cycle after the date of hire and annually during Open Enrollment.

Dependent Eligibility* A dependent is defined as a covered employee’s legal spouse, domestic partner and dependent children of the employee or employee’s spouse or domestic partner.

You should also verify that all beneficiary information is current.

Additional information on all the benefits can be found on-line by visiting www.Tampagov.net/Benefits.

A Qualifying Event allows you to make a change to your benefit elections.

Coverage elections made during Open Enrollment cannot be changed until the next annual Open Enrollment period.

Examples of Qualifying Events include, but are not limited to:

• Marriage

• Divorce or legal separation

• Birth, adoption, or legal custody of a dependent child

• Involuntary loss of other group health insurance coverage

• Death

• Electing coverage under another group health plan

Medical Insurance Administered by UnitedHealthcare

Administered by UnitedHealthcare All eligible City employees and their dependents qualify to enroll. For 2026, employees will continue to have a choice of the two current medical plans, which will be unchanged for 2026. Both plans will provide the same covered benefits and the same network of medical providers; however, the way you share in out-of-pocket costs differs, as does how incentive rewards are applied.

Wellness incentive rewards earned by an employee and a covered spouse or domestic partner are placed in the HRA, which can then be used to cover out-of-pocket costs which apply to the deductible. The City Plan with HRA covers 90% of the cost of medical services (except those subject to copayment) after meeting the deductible. Members will pay 10% coinsurance until meeting the out-of-pocket maximum.

Employees also have the choice of the Simple Wellness Plan at a higher premium than the City Plan with HRA. In this plan an employee’s wellness incentive dollars are used to fund the Dollar First Benefit Allowance to lower the out-of-pocket costs. This allowance helps you and your dependents pay for eligible services such as physician visits, hospital services, lab tests and x-rays. The allowance is applied before you begin to pay your deductible. While you are utilizing your Dollar First Benefit Allowance, copayments will still apply.

You can locate a physician or other medical provider by contacting UnitedHealthcare Member Services, or go to UnitedHealthcare’s website at www.myuhc.com.

Calendar Year Deductible and Out-of-Pocket Maximum Calendar Year Deductible is a specified dollar amount that you must pay for certain covered services per calendar year after your HRA Account or Dollar First Benefit Allowance has been exhausted, depending which plan you enroll in. There are individual and family deductibles. Once an individual or a family deductible has been satisfied, you will only be required to make coinsurance payments or copayments until your out-of-pocket maximum has been met.

The Calendar Year Out-of-Pocket Maximum is the amount of covered expenses (including deductible and copayments) that must be paid by you, either individually or combined as a covered family. Once this maximum has been met, the plan will pay 100% of covered services for the remainder of the calendar year.

City of Tampa, Florida | 2026 Benefits Guide 8 http://www.myuhc.com

Prescription Drugs If your physician chooses a brand name drug to treat your condition, ask if a generic is available in the same class of drugs. As long as your physician approves, you will be getting an effective drug that is proven to address your condition, and you will be saving money. Because generic drugs are significantly less expensive and chemically equivalent to their brand name counterparts, it makes sense to save money by asking your doctor to prescribe generic medications.

The City of Tampa’s prescription drug plan (both retail and mail order) includes a generic program.

Under this program, the plan will pay the cost for the generic option only. You will be responsible for any remaining difference in cost.

The information above is a summary and not a full representation of the plan provisions.

Employees should view the Summary Plan Descriptions, Benefit Summaries and other information which is available on the Human Resources Employee Benefits website on the intranet or at www.tampagov.net/benefits.

HRA

Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) Your Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) is an account funded by the City of Tampa.

• The incentive amount earned through participation in City’s wellness initiatives in 2025 is placed in your HRA account for 2026. The deadline to complete activities for HRA Incentives for 2026 is November 30th.

• Your HRA will help you pay for covered services.

This includes paying for services other than copayments that apply to your deductible, such as inpatient hospitalization, outpatient treatment and diagnostic services.

• Any unused HRA balance reverts to zero at year end.

HRA and Dollar First Funds HRA and Dollar First funds are automatically applied to medical claims sent to UHC by your provider(s). Claims are paid in the order in which they are received.

HRA and Dollar First funds cannot be “saved” by the member for a specific use. Example: if you’re planning a procedure in 2026, you cannot save up your incentive dollars to be applied towards that specific treatment.

City Plan with HRA Wellness Incentives can be earned by both a covered employee and spouse or domestic partner and are placed in the HRA, which can be used to cover out-of-pocket medical costs which apply to the deductible. The City Plan with HRA covers 90% of the cost of medical services (except those subject to copayment) after meeting the deductible. Members will pay 10% coinsurance until meeting the out-of-pocket maximum.

Simple Wellness Wellness Incentives can be earned by the employee only and are available for use by each covered family member. For example, if an employee earns $500, each enrolled family member will have $500 available. In this plan, an employee’s wellness incentive dollars are used to fund the Dollar First Benefit Allowance to lower the out-of-pocket costs. This allowance helps you and your dependents pay for eligible out-of-pocket expenses such as physician visits, hospital services, lab tests and x-rays. This allowance cannot be used to pay your deductible.

Your HRA is funded by the City of Tampa

Below is the incentive structure for the Simple Wellness Plan. Incentives can be earned through various activities as listed in the incentive activities and rewards chart. Depending on how much wellness incentive you earn, that will determine your First Dollar Benefit amount. In order to receive any First Dollar Benefit, you must earn at least $250 in incentives. For example, if you earn $600 in wellness incentives, you will be placed into the $500 Simple Wellness Plan. If you earn $50 in wellness incentives, you will not have any incentive and will be placed in the $0 Simple Wellness Plan.

$0 - $249 = $0 incentive Simple Wellness Plan $250 -$499 = $250 incentive Simple Wellness Plan $500 -$749 = $500 incentive Simple Wellness Plan $750 - $999 = $750 incentive Simple Wellness Plan

$1,000 or more = $1,000 incentive Simple Wellness Plan

Do Not Over Estimate Be conservative in your calculations. If you do not incur eligible expenses for the full amount you elected to put in your FSA, the remaining balance in your account will be forfeited according to IRS regulations.

Use it or lose it!

Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Administered by UnitedHealthcare

FOR ACTIVE EMPLOYEES ONLY

There are two types of Flexible Spending Accounts: Health Care and Dependent Care.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) help you save money by providing a way to pay for certain types of health care and dependent care on a pre-tax basis. FSA dependent care covers child care expenses for dependents under age 13 and elder care expenses for adults who are unable to support themselves.

How FSA Works During Open Enrollment, you decide how much money you want to contribute for the year - up to $3,300 per family for healthcare FSA and up to $5,000 per family for dependent care (daycare/elder care) FSA. This is your one opportunity to enroll unless you experience a qualifying event. The amount you designate for the year is divided in equal installments each pay period and placed in a FSA account.

How the Debit Card Works The debit card has an automatic payment feature that allows eligible medical and prescription claims, when you are responsible for a portion of the costs, to automatically pay from your FSA account. This will automatically reduce the available funds in your FSA. The FSA debit card cannot be used for dependent care expenses.

Estimate Expenses Carefully To receive the greatest savings, you must carefully estimate the amount of eligible out-of-pocket expenses you will have for the year.

Once you have estimated the total annual amount, that amount is what will be deducted from your gross pay (before taxes) each pay period to be used to fund your Flexible Spending Account. The City of Tampa has 26 pay periods per year. To get a complete listing of what is considered an eligible expense please refer to IRS.gov and refer to publication 502.

Active employees have until March 15th of the following plan year to incur medical expenses and until March 30th to submit claims. If an employee terminates employment before the end of the calendar year and has an account balance, the employee has 90 days from the date of termination to file claims for medical expenses incurred while still an active employee. You may have rights to claim medical expenses on your FSA if you elect COBRA upon terminating employment. If you elect COBRA, contact the UnitedHealthcare onsite representative for more information.

Ways You Can Control Costs

You and your family members can be active in controlling the overall health care cost paid by you and the City. Below are just a few ways in which lower cost effective treatment can be accessed.

• Find Care & Costs or get an estimate at www.myuhc.com

• Engage the UnitedHealthcare disease management or case management, if you qualify

• Seek primary care services at the City’s Wellness Centers, operated by CareATC

• Use lower cost UnitedHealthcare’s Tier 1 medications when available in accordance with physician approval

Many times we don’t need immediate medical care, and in those instances where you go to get that care can have an impact on costs, both yours and the City health plan! Of course, you should always go to the emergency room for a serious illness or injury. However, for services that are not urgent or of an emergency nature you should try to use the City Wellness Center or another physician. Urgent Care centers are higher priced but often offer services not usually found in a physician’s office and see patients without appointments. Free standing emergency rooms have popped up in many areas, and at casual glance appear no different than an urgent care center. However, they are emergency rooms and you will pay the higher emergency room copay, and the City will pay emergency room rates on the services. Please do not hesitate to visit the an emergency room in an urgent situation.

Long-Term Disability Insurance Administered by New York Life

FOR ACTIVE EMPLOYEES ONLY

This coverage is provided by New York Life and replaces part of your income if you meet the policy’s definition of disabled and are unable to work. All full-time employees automatically receive the City-paid base plan that replaces 30% of income up to a maximum of $10,000 per month. This coverage is effective on the first day of the month following 180 days of continuous employment. You may elect to increase the coverage from the 30% plan to the 50% plan or the 60% plan the first time you enroll as a new employee. Thereafter, you may increase your coverage by only one level during the annual open enrollment period but no more than 60%. You will be required to satisfy an additional pre-existing condition period associated with the increase in coverage. See your certificate booklet for details.

The cost of coverage depends on your age and salary, and it will be automatically reviewed and adjusted on January 1st of each year. Disability benefits will be coordinated with other sources of income such as Social Security, retirement and workers compensation incomes which ultimately reduce your disability benefit. For more information regarding long-term disability benefits or to file a claim, call Benefits at (813) 274-5757.

New York Life offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for all members enrolled on the Long-Term Disability plan.

Retirement Deferred Compensation Deferred Compensation is a program that allows you to contribute part of your salary to a retirement account before taxes are taken out.

For 2025, you are able to defer up to $23,500 plus $7,500 catch up subject to IRS revision (ages 50 and up) or 100% of your income, whichever is less. Participants age 60 to 61 may contribute a catchup of $11,250 above the normal limit. The deferral limits are subject to change annually.

Employees have the option of enrolling in a pre-tax deferred compensation plan and/or a ROTH after tax plan. Employees can use Nationwide Retirement Solutions or Florida League of Cities as their Deferred Compensation administrator, but may not have deductions go to both providers at the same time. The City makes theses available to employees as a service, but does not contribute to the funding of these plans. As is the case with any investment, careful consideration regarding the costs and benefits of each plan should be evaluated by the employee prior to making a selection.

Deferred Compensation Administered by Florida Municipal Pension Trust Fund

Why Participate In The 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan?

It’s automatic and easy. You choose pre-tax or after-tax (Roth) contributions. Individuals can no longer count on the federal government and their employers to provide a secure retirement for them. Investing a little money each month now can grow into a large amount of money when you retire. With pre-tax money invested, participants can enjoy the effects of compound growth without the worry of paying taxes until after they begin to withdraw funds. With Roth after-tax money invested, participants pay taxes upfront then withdraw funds later without paying additional taxes.

Who Are The FLC And The FMPTF?

The Florida League of Cities (FLC) was created in 1922 to meet and serve the needs of Florida’s municipalities. Administered by the FLC, the Florida Municipal Pension Trust Fund (FMPTF) was established in 1983 for the purpose of collectively managing employee retirement programs of participating Florida governments. The FMPTF is a nonprofit, member-owned trust providing professional and cost-effective investment and administrative service. This structure means we not only have lower expenses, but also are able to look out for our participants’ best interests.

Low Expenses And Fees, Clearly Disclosed The FMPTF charges participants a 0.20% annual administrative fee. Participants also pay investment expenses to the mutual fund companies in which they invest. Participants pay an average of 0.22% in expenses. See our full brochure or visit FLCretirement.com for other fees that may apply.
