Clermont County approves 2026 health and ancillary benefit renewals; Commissioner Painter abstains
Summary
The Board approved renewals for CEBCO medical administration and ancillary carriers and adopted medical and prescription coverage cost distribution and cafeteria plan parameters for 2026; Commissioner David L. Painter was recorded as abstaining on the carrier renewals and on the medical/prescription coverage approval.
Clermont County human resources staff presented recommended renewals for the County Employee Benefits Consortium of Ohio (CEBCO) administrative services and ancillary carriers and sought board approval for the 2026 cafeteria plan and employee per-pay costs. The board approved the listed carrier renewals and the recommended employee medical and prescription coverage and cost distribution for calendar year 2026, with Commissioner David L. Painter recorded as abstaining on the renewal vote and the medical/prescription coverage motion.
Human Resources Director Sandra Tahat and Benefits Coordinator Teresa Igo outlined the recommended 2026 plans and the county-paid benefit credits. The minutes list per-pay rates for multiple plan tiers (examples: CEBCO single premium listed at $364.61 with a county benefit credit of $45.35; Medical Basic single premium $380.95 with county benefit credit $10.30; HDP/HSA single premium $380.81 with county HSA contribution $25.00). The board approved implementation of the 2026 Cafeteria Plan and the county-paid benefit credits, with the abstention recorded for Commissioner Painter on the related votes.
The action is contingent upon routine fiscal procedures such as adoption of annual appropriations. The motions were presented and recorded in the minutes; no changes to salary structures were made in this action.
