Commission approves renewal of EMT student insurance for clinical rotations
Summary
The Cole County Commission approved renewal of the student insurance policy that covers EMT students and their clinical rotations. Officials said the county processes roughly 20 EMT students per class; the cost stated in the meeting record was $1,120 for 70 students and the motion passed by voice vote.
A majority of the Cole County Commission voted June 23 to renew the county’s student insurance policy that covers emergency medical technician (EMT) students during clinical rotations.
A staff presenter summarized the renewal, saying, “this is the renewal of our student insurance policy for the EMT students and their clinical rotations,” and noting the program generally processes “about 20 EMT students per class” and serves 70 students in total. The presenter reported the total cost in the record as $1,120 for 70 students and offered to answer questions.
During discussion a commissioner asked whether students from prior classes became employees; the presenter said “somewhere in the realm of about 10 to 15 students from the two previous classes are now employed in our organization.”
A commissioner moved to renew the insurance, stating, “I’ll make a motion to renew insurance uh with NSO at a cost of $1,120.” The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote; the minutes record three ayes.
The action covers the policy period and clinical-rotation coverage as described by staff. The meeting did not include further detail on insurer contract terms, coverage limits, or whether the county sought competitive bids for the policy.
