Group Insurance Commission Meeting
The meeting agenda focused on several key votes and informational items. Major discussion points included the approval of Fiscal Year 2027 health insurance rates for both Non-Medicare and Medicare products, which involved reviewing premium calculations that incorporated reductions related to OON reimbursement, Prudent Rx, and the removal of GLP-1 coverage for weight loss. The Commission also addressed the recommendation for the Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) Consultant Procurement, ultimately moving to contract with Mercer as the apparent successful bidder for consultation services. Furthermore, the body reviewed and approved the Fiscal Year 2027 dental and vision plan rates, noting significant increases for vision rates. An update on the Vida Health Medical Weight Loss program launch was provided, including enrollment metrics and customer support performance.
