Text Box: Background: In conjunction with the 2018 budget process, Sauk County solicits proposals for service through our insurance broker for health insurance coverage for employees.  We received proposals from three health insurance vendors that provide coverage for our specific demographic. Unity (Quartz) was determined as the most cost effective proposal for our service area, including the incorporation of a primary care physician rider.  Therefore, Unity (Quartz) was the vendor selected by the Personnel Committee as the best option for employees to maintain adequate coverage, while also adhering to current fiscal constraints.  

The proposal from Unity (Quartz) also included renewal guarantees into future contract years as follows: 2019 – not to exceed 6.0% and 2020 – not to exceed 8.0%.
