Harrison Township trustee asks Vigo County to allow township officials to use county free clinic
Summary
Harrison Township trustee Stacy Todd told commissioners five township trustees who are covered by Blue Cross Blue Shield/Anthem would like access to the county free clinic; the board asked staff to discuss options after the meeting.
Stacy Todd, Harrison Township trustee, asked the Vigo County commissioners to allow five township trustees who currently carry Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance to use the county free clinic.
"We, currently are not on county insurance, and that is okay with us. But we would like to be able to go to your clinic, the free clinic. And there is a total of 5 of us," Todd told the board during the public-comment portion of the meeting.
A commissioner invited Todd to remain after the meeting for a follow-up conversation with county staff (referred to in the transcript as Terry) about possible options. The transcript records no formal action or vote on the request; commissioners said staff would speak with Todd after the meeting.
The transcript does not specify whether allowing non-covered township officials access to the county free clinic would require a policy change, insurance adjustments or costs to the county; those details were not discussed on the record and remain to be resolved in follow-up contact between Todd and staff.
