Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Preferred Provider Organization Plan

The City of Sacramento is seeking proposals from health plans and insurers to develop a fully insured Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan that is both affordable and sustainable. This new plan will complement the City’s existing Medicare offerings, primarily those provided through Kaiser Permanente Senior Advantage, which serve eligible residents in California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii. The City is specifically interested in plans that can serve retirees and is not considering non-Medicare Advantage options or coverage for active employees. Since January 1, 2019, the City has also offered the UnitedHealthcare Medicare Group Medicare Advantage PPO plan as an alternative to Kaiser, and the selected plan from this RFP will be made available to eligible retirees from the City and its Library system. The solicitation, titled "Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug Preferred Provider Organization Plan," was posted on May 5, 2025, with a response deadline of May 30, 2025. The contract size is estimated to range between 5 million and 20 million dollars. The City of Sacramento, operating under California state jurisdiction, is conducting this procurement as a State and Local Government (SLED) entity, aiming to enhance its Medicare offerings with a focus on cost-effectiveness and sustainability.
