Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

 

On October 1, 2008, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Florida, Inc. and Health Options, Inc. (collectively referred to as "BCBSF"), entered into a Health Care Benefits Contract with Gevity HR, Inc. (the “Company”) providing for the continued offering of BCBSF benefit plan options to the Company’s Florida-based clients and their worksite employees as part of the Company’s full range of services through September 30, 2009.

 

BCBSF is the Company’s primary partner in Florida, delivering medical care benefits to approximately 19,000 Florida-based client employees. The Company’s policy with BCBSF is a minimum premium policy pursuant to which the Company is obligated to reimburse BCBSF for the cost of the claims incurred by participants under the plan, plus the cost of plan administration. The administrative costs per covered client employee associated with this policy are specified in the agreement and aggregate loss coverage is provided to the Company at the level of 115% of projected claims for the plan year beginning October 1, 2008.

 

The Company is required to pre-fund the estimated monthly expenses and claim liability charges of the plan by the first of each calendar month. The estimated monthly expenses are based upon the Minimum Premium Rate and the Annual Excess liability rate, as set forth in the agreement, times the number of insureds. The monthly estimated claim liability charge is based upon an average of monthly paid claims as determined by BCBSF based on three month periods specified in the agreement. Differences between the pre-funded amounts and actual amounts subsequently determined shall be settled in the following month.

 

As part of the Company’s obligation to BCBSF, the Company posted an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of BCBSF in an initial amount of $5,000,000 on October 1, 2008 which shall be increased monthly by approximately $1,000,000 over a seven month period until it reaches $11,765,830 on May 1, 2009.

 

The Company intends to file a redacted copy of the BCBSF agreement in its next periodic report along with a request for confidential treatment.
