Labette County authorizes $5,000 deductible payment and clears BCBS to contact benefit broker
Summary
The county commissioners approved a $5,000 deductible payment to EMC for a law enforcement claim from the Tort Liability fund (001-148-2039) and authorized the county clerk to permit Blue Cross Blue Shield to communicate with the county’s broker, Bukaty Company. Both motions passed unanimously.
The Labette County Board of Commissioners approved two insurance- and benefits-related actions during its Oct. 20 meeting.
Chairman Vincent B. Schibi moved to authorize a $5,000 deductible payable to EMC for a law enforcement claim, to be paid from the Tort Liability fund, account number 001-148-2039. Commissioner Tom Barrett seconded the motion; the board voted unanimously (Barrett, Weidert, Schibi Yes) to authorize the payment.
Commissioner Terry Weidert then moved to authorize the county clerk to provide Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) authorization to communicate with the county’s benefits broker, Bukaty Company, effectively attesting to BCBS that the broker may discuss the county’s plan with the carrier. Commissioner Tom Barrett seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous vote.
The minutes record the board’s recorded votes and the specific fund number for the deductible payment. No further details about the underlying law enforcement claim or any expected financial impact beyond the $5,000 deductible were provided in the meeting record.
