Commission adds EagleMed membership as an employee-paid benefit option
Summary
EagleMed presented a membership product that the presenter priced at roughly $70 per year (about $2.50 per pay period in the presentation). Commissioners voted to add the membership as a voluntary, employee-paid option in the county benefit package to be handled by payroll deduction.
Gary of EagleMed described a membership program that provides air and ground medical transport coverage and portability across regions; he told commissioners the membership can be offered as a census plan or as an employee-paid payroll deduction. Gary said, in the presentation, the household membership was priced at about $70 per year and that translated to roughly $2.50 per pay period in the example he provided.
Commissioners discussed how the membership would be offered (county-paid vs. employee-paid) and whether to add it to the cafeteria plan; staff and commissioners recommended offering it as an employee-paid optional benefit via payroll deduction so the county would not incur ongoing cost. A motion to add the EagleMed membership as a voluntary employee-paid benefit passed by voice vote. Staff will coordinate enrollment events and communications to employees if the program is implemented.
