Health Insurance Discussion with Andy Votava and Huntington Insurance Representative, Kris Gerken

Mr. Votava stated that a Joint Consortium Meeting is coming up next Thursday the 23rd and would like to get some direction and thoughts for the 2010 year.  The cash allocation report through June illustrates Fulton’s share being approximately (85% of the assets) and Henry’s share being approximately (15%).  Mr. Gerken stated that through June there have been less in claims then projected by the underwriters, however claims do have a tendency to go up toward the end of the year and feels that the projections are right on target.  Mr. Votava stated that there has been 1 stop loss hit so far this year.  Enrollment is up significantly with 13 new family plans and 2 new single plans.  Commissioner Short inquired of how many employees are on the plan.  Mr. Votava stated that there are 228 on the plan with 88 being single plans and 140 being family.  He further noted that General Fund enrollment has not increased since last year, with 71 total on the plan.  He stated that from 2007 to 2008 there was a decrease in net claims, while he is projecting a net increase from 2008 to 2009.  In his opinion, the plan is performing well and as expected.  He stated that employees are participating in the wellness plan and that 115 employees received the 1st half wellness incentive.  215 did the biometric screening. 

 

Mr. Votava and Mr. Gerken will put together various scenarios for 2010 and present them for the Board’s review at the Joint Consortium Meeting next week.
