Board approves adding vision plan to county health/dental contract; staff authorized to sign
Summary
The committee approved a motion to add vision benefits to the county’s existing medical and dental contract and authorized staff to execute the contract when terms are finalized.
Sumner County’s Self Insurance Board approved adding a vision benefit to the county’s existing health and dental contract and authorized staff to execute the agreement when the contract is final.
A consultant told the board the timing coincided with contract renewal and that adding vision would raise contract fees; staff recommended outsourcing EOC and plan‑document updates to the broker rather than absorb the additional workload in house. The broker’s fees were discussed; a quoted increase in consulting support to include vision was described as competitive compared with previous years.
A motion to authorize staff to obtain and sign a contract to add vision benefits passed by voice vote. The committee directed benefits staff to proceed and to work with legal on any necessary plan‑document changes and to return final contract terms to the board for its files.
