Purchasing And Insurance Committee Committee Meeting
The committee evaluated and approved the transition to Humana for the retiree insurance program, prioritizing the provider for its broader network access and the benefit of bundling medical and pharmacy coverage onto a single insurance card. Further discussion centered on analyzing health plan structures, specifically comparing the cost differences and network implications between OAP and Local Plus options, as well as HSA and deductible plan structures. Recommendations were made to adjust premium structures to direct enrollment toward more fiscally efficient plans for both the county and the participants.
