Discussion on Health Insurance Options

In preparation of the new year and open enrollment for health insurance, the Board has recently received several proposals for review and comparison to the current plan. The objective of today’s meeting is to determine a plan design and vendor. The proposals were previously reviewed by the Insurance Committee.  County Organizational Development Director, Andrew Votava, presented the Board with his comparisons.  The current plan is an HSA and administered by MMO.  It was agreed by the Board that they would like to continue with an HSA.  Mr. Votava explained each proposal received from the various vendors and made his recommendations.   Mr. Short explained that he has done a great deal of research and made comparisons with other companies and health care providers and that he feels that the plan that is currently in place is the best plan he has seen thus far and may be the only way to keep costs down for all those involved.  After deliberating on cost comparisons, risks involved and the financial impact on employees and the county, Commissioner Barnaby made the motion to stay with the current plan but to eliminate the value plan associated therewith and Commissioner Short seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
