County updates medical cost share after Anthem rate change; vision and dental shares unchanged
Summary
Benefits staff informed commissioners that the county's employer share for medical premiums rose from the previously discussed figure to a higher rate; vision and dental cost shares did not increase. Commissioners approved the updated cost‑share schedule as presented.
A county benefits staff member told commissioners that the county's contribution for medical insurance last year had been misunderstood in previous discussion; the actual employer share was higher than previously presented. The staff member said the vision and dental cost shares did not increase this year. She summarized current cost‑share percentages for medical, vision and dental plans and recommended updating county records accordingly. Commissioners moved and approved the benefit cost‑share update on a voice vote. No specific per‑employee premium amounts were provided in the meeting transcript. The staff member said she would provide documentation and continue working with departments as the renewal date approaches.
