Commissioners approve corrected health-plan bill after staff probe into Allied charges
Summary
After staff questioned a higher second invoice from Allied for the county’s health-plan administration, commissioners reviewed documentation and approved payment of $96,148.74 to settle the corrected monthly bill.
County staff flagged a corrected Allied invoice that superseded an earlier payment and asked the board to approve the larger, documented total.
Glenda explained that the county had paid an initial Allied bill, then Allied issued a higher corrected bill and voided the initial payment. Glenda said she insisted on documentation before asking commissioners to approve the additional charge.
Shannon summarized Allied’s explanation: family medical premiums for January through April had been undercharged (about $300 instead of roughly $600 per family), producing approximately $22,869 in additional charges. Shannon said the corrected total for the monthly Allied services and stop-loss premiums is $96,148.74 and that the company provided documentation explaining the corrections.
Commissioners asked for and received confirmation that staff and the auditor had reviewed the materials. After discussion and an explicit motion, the board approved paying the corrected Allied invoice and accepted staff’s documentation. Commissioners emphasized internal controls and multi-person review going forward.
The board also approved other routine claims in this segment, including prescription-payout records and a $100 equipment endorsement to the county’s Cincinnati Insurance policy.
Next steps: staff will ensure documentation for audit records and maintain review procedures for third‑party administrator adjustments.
