Commissioners approve auto‑renewal of county employee clinic contract with 10% cost increase amid rising use
Summary
The court approved an amendment/auto‑renewal to the county's agreement with BND Health Care Solutions that includes a 10% price increase; officials noted use of the clinic rose from 189 visits in 2024 to 402 in 2025.
Harrison County Commissioners Court approved Feb. 26 an auto‑renewal/amendment (Amendment No. 2) to the county's contract with BND Health Care Solutions, the agreement first executed in May 2023. The amendment includes a 10% price increase to the county’s contract rate.
During discussion, participants noted utilization of the clinic has increased: county figures read during the discussion indicated about 189 employee/family visits in 2024 and 402 in 2025. Commissioners discussed outreach to employees and onboarding processes for new hires, noting convenience and time savings as benefits that have likely driven higher use. Staff suggested hauling larger volumes of visits may produce downstream savings compared with ER usage, and that on‑site lab services add value.
Commissioners approved the amendment by unanimous vote and asked staff to consider periodic reviews of utilization and to encourage eligible employees to use the service.
