Commissioners approve 2025–26 medical and dental plan renewals; premiums rise about 9–12%
Summary
Grayson County Commissioners approved a renewal of the county’s 2025–26 medical and dental plans from the Texas Association of Counties Health and Employee Benefits Pool, with county staff reporting a roughly 9.7% increase for medical and a 12% increase for dental.
The Grayson County Commissioners Court on Tuesday approved the county’s 2025–26 medical and dental plan renewals through the Texas Association of Counties Health and Employee Benefits Pool.
Corey (presenting staff) told the court the renewal proposed an increase of “about 9%” overall; during brief discussion staff clarified the medical premium increase was roughly 9.7% and dental about 12%.
The court recorded a motion to approve the renewal moved by Commissioner Arthur and seconded by Commissioner Hardenberg. The motion passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
Court members acknowledged the increase and thanked staff for researching options. “I wish there was a better option,” one commissioner said during the discussion, reflecting concern about rising employee benefit costs.
Ending: The order authorizes the county judge to sign the necessary renewal documents; the county’s payroll and human-resources staff will implement the new rates beginning with the next plan year.
