Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: Funding for the CSAC-EIA Dental Program is through Risk Management’s internal service fund, employee payroll deductions, and retiree contributions. Claims are paid on a monthly basis and can fluctuate. We project the claims and fees from July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2012 to be approximately
$2,520,000.
Background/Reason for Recommendation: The California State Association of Counties - Excess Insurance Authority (CSAC-EIA) is a Joint Powers Authority comprised of California counties, cities, and public agencies, organized to jointly develop and fund insurance programs at a lower cost to its members.
