The proposed resolution, known as the UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company Health Benefits Contract Emergency Approval Resolution of 2025, seeks the Council's approval for a multiyear contract with UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company (UHC) to provide fully insured health benefits to District employees, their dependents, and retirees, with an estimated cost of $595,848,245.34 over five years. The contract will cover various health plan types, including Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) and Health Maintenance Organization (HMO), and was awarded following a competitive solicitation process. The District will cover 75% of the premium costs, while employees will pay the remaining 25%. The resolution emphasizes the need for prompt action from the Council to ensure timely implementation of the health benefits program.

Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities and requirements for contractors involved in the D.C. Employees Health Benefits Program, including maintaining a comprehensive provider network, ensuring compliance with federal and District laws, and providing various health insurance plans. It mandates that contractors submit regular reports on claims processing, customer service, and wellness program engagement, while also establishing performance guarantees and penalties for non-compliance. The bill aims to enhance the quality and accessibility of health benefits for District employees and their families, ensuring that the health insurance offerings align with the District's Essential Health Benefits Benchmark Plan.
