Controller: County will drop no-deductible Plan A; bargaining units offered alternative cost-share options
Summary
County Controller Paul Compo told the board that Plan A (a no-deductible plan) will no longer be offered and described alternative cost-share options for bargaining units, including remaining under PA 152 with an 80/20 model if no agreement is reached.
County Controller Paul Compo told the board the county will remain with its current insurance agency but will discontinue "Plan A," the no-deductible option. He said that if bargaining units cannot reach agreement on a new cost-share structure, the county will remain under PA 152 and switch to an 80/20 model.
Compo outlined two alternatives presented to bargaining units: a 15% option described as producing a projected employee premium increase of about 5.16% and a 14.50% cost increase to the county, and a second option described in the meeting as "8% cost for those in the HSA, 18% for everyone else" with a projected employee increase of about 6.18% and 14.31% to the county. Compo said letters of understanding for the selected option would be presented for approval at the April 23 meeting if the bargaining units reach consensus.
