County renews Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage through TAC; small rate adjustment noted

County benefits staff presented renewal information for the county's Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage under the TAC plan, reporting no plan-level changes but noting the renewal would include a modest rate increase tied to resetting the deductible year. The presenter said the county moved to a shortened plan year last year and will return to a full year with the October deductible start, which contributes to the roughly $45 increase in premium costs.
