Oktibbeha County names HUB International as broker of record and authorizes transition
Summary
The board appointed HUB International as the county's broker of record for ancillary insurance lines, maintained Blue Cross Blue Shield for core medical coverage, and authorized an administrative transition plan effective May 13, 2026.
Human-resources staff recommended that the board appoint HUB International as the county's sole broker of record for ancillary lines and to authorize an administrative transition plan. The recommendation noted that carrier agreements for the county’s medical plan would remain with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi through 2026 and that fee structures among firms were comparable.
The human-resources representative said HUB brought stronger employee-facing technology and operational continuity and recommended the board authorize immediate execution of the transition plan to ensure a seamless transfer of insurance-line management effective May 13, 2026. The board voted to appoint HUB International, authorized the board president to sign the broker-of-record documents and approved the administrative transition plan; the motions were recorded in the transcript as passing unanimously.
Staff said employees’ coverage would not change as part of the broker transition; the action is an administrative change in broker services and vendor management.
Next steps: the authorized paperwork will be executed and staff will implement the administrative transition plan with the broker as described in the recommendation memo.
