Pratt County approves health insurance renewals with Freedom Claims and Blue Cross Blue Shield
Summary
The commission reviewed renewal options from FCMI and PIC, then approved renewal with Freedom Claims plan funding at the same savings level as the prior year and separately approved renewal with Blue Cross Blue Shield; both motions passed 3-0.
Pratt County commissioners reviewed options for health insurance renewals from Freedom Claims (FCMI), PIC and Blue Cross Blue Shield at their April 13 meeting. The board approved renewal "with Freedom Claims plan funding at the same savings level as the previous year," by motion of Commissioner Rick Shriver; the motion passed 3‑0.
The minutes also record a separate motion to "Approve renewal with Blue Cross Blue Shield," which passed 3‑0. The meeting record lists both approvals as motions that carried but does not include further detail in the minutes about plan design differences, employee costs, or the county’s rationale for carrying multiple approvals in the record.
The approvals will place renewal arrangements for the county’s group coverage into effect for the coming policy period; departmental HR and finance staff are expected to finalize enrollment and funding details after the meeting.
