Caitlin Hinman, Cassidy Lutosk, and Michael Richardson, Representatives from HUB and The Difference Card presented preliminary options for restructuring the county’s employee health insurance program for a possible July 1 transition. The proposal included offering a Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO and a high deductible health plan, using premium savings to help fund employee medical expenses and establish a county health reserve. Representatives explained that final recommendations would require updated enrollment information following open enrollment and July rates when available. For the most commonly selected HealthChoice High plan, representatives reported upcoming individual and family out-of-pocket maximums of $8,300 and $18,400, respectively, along with increased cost sharing for certain high-cost prescriptions.
