Patrick County keeps Anthem for employee health plan; board OKs $200,000 budget increase
Summary
The Patrick County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to renew a fully insured health plan with Anthem and to assume the county’s full share of the premium increase, adding about $200,000 to the proposed budget for the coming year.
The Patrick County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to award the county’s employee health insurance contract to Anthem and to have the county assume the full cost of the premium increase, with approximately $200,000 added to next year’s budget.
The decision followed a presentation from Sam Irvey of Innovative Solutions, who summarized an insurer request for renewal from Anthem, subsequent requests for proposals and comparative pricing from several carriers. “Our recommendation is that you go ahead and stay with Anthem this year,” Irvey said, noting Anthem’s point-of-service (POS) product would preserve employees’ existing networks and limit disruption.
