NACO presents health-insurance options to Nemaha County; board defers decision to June 2
Summary
A NACO representative reported a 14.65% Blue Cross/Blue Shield rate increase and presented a Medica quote; commissioners asked for further comparison and will decide at their June 2 meeting.
At the 10:00 a.m. agenda slot the board heard a presentation about employee health and dental insurance options. The minutes show a Blue Cross/Blue Shield rate proposal with a 14.65% increase; the county requested an alternative quote from Medica Choice National with similar deductibles and cost-sharing.
Tim McGonigal, representing NACO, presented the information listed in the minutes. Commissioners Michael Weiss and Bryan Mellage said they would review the competing quote and take a decision at the June 2 meeting when more information is available.
Why it matters: a nearly 15% rate increase would affect county payroll-related expenses and employee premiums. The minutes record no final decision; the board scheduled a final determination for its June 2 meeting.
The minutes do not include detailed plan designs or employer/employee premium splits; commissioners deferred decision pending the competing quote.
