The Harrison County Commissioners Court meeting on November 5, 2024, highlighted the county's successful long-term partnership with the Nitschey Group, focusing on the benefits of their medical plan. A representative from the Nitschey Group praised the county for its commitment to following a strategic plan that has resulted in significant savings over the past decade.
The representative noted that the county has effectively listened to advice and adapted its approach, which has contributed to the success of their partially self-funded medical plan. This plan has reportedly not increased employee contribution costs for six consecutive years, with expectations to maintain this trend for a seventh year.
The discussion emphasized the importance of navigating the disruptions that come with implementing such plans, acknowledging the efforts of county staff in managing these challenges. Overall, the meeting underscored the positive impact of the county's strategic decisions on both financial savings and employee welfare.
