HEALTH INSURANCE RENEWAL FOR 2018.  M. Posewitz presented preliminary information regarding the health insurance renewal for 2018.  While happy with the current vendor relationship, the renewal numbers were higher than anticipated.  Limits were in place for the duration for the prior contract, otherwise rates would have been 36.9 in 2016; 34.5% in 2017 (respectively). 

 

Dean – Existing plan with following changes, from $15 to $30 OV, increase in ER copay from $125 to $200, drug formulary from either $10/$30/$50 to $10, 30% or 50% of prescription.  Decrements dropped initial rates an additional 3.7%.

 

Unity – Existing plan design with changes from no deductible to the following $500 (single) and $1000 (family).  The decrements dropped the rates approximately 8.21%. The same decrements did not have the same reductions in price for both plans.  Different network, similar to current GHC network, with PCP rider to allow coverage for local providers.

 

The health insurance renewal is an extremely important decision for employees and the county as a whole. Regardless of which vendor is selected will also look at changing the health insurance deductions from monthly to 24 pay periods.  Motion by H. Netzinger, second by T. Bychinski to postpone until the September meeting.  Motion carried.
