Limestone County court renews employee health plan at 6.5% rate
Summary
Limestone County commissioners voted to renew the county’s employee health insurance after staff reported negotiated renewal terms fell from an initial 9.9% quote to a 6.5% rate; commissioners approved renewal by voice vote.
Limestone County commissioners voted to renew the county’s employee health insurance plan after being told renewal quotes were reduced to a 6.5% rate from an earlier 9.9% figure presented in preliminary negotiations.
County staff described the plan as having low deductibles and low coinsurance and said they had sought further reductions — including the possibility of soliciting competing bids — before settling on the 6.5% renewal. A per-employee cost figure was spoken during the meeting but was not clearly specified in the transcript record.
A motion to renew the existing plan was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. The court did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript.
The renewal will remain in effect under the county’s existing plan terms unless staff return with alternative options or a formal bid process is opened at a future session.
