County renews Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage through TAC; small rate adjustment noted
Summary
County benefits staff recommended renewing Blue Cross Blue Shield coverage through TAC with no plan changes and a roughly $45 increase tied to moving to an October deductible year; the court approved the renewal.
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.
"There are no plan changes... our renewal rate is going to be an extra $45," the benefits presenter said, and added that ancillary products (vision, life, short- and long-term disability, and certain supplemental plans) would continue to be offered with no rate changes. Commissioners had no objections and the court approved renewal by motion and second.
