County to remain with Blue Cross Blue Shield; benefits caps and VEBA/HSA contribution rise in 2025
Summary
The board voted to keep Blue Cross Blue Shield for 2025 coverage, raised the single-coverage health insurance cap from $900 to $1,000, and increased the VEBA/HSA family contribution from $265.76 to $500 per month, all effective Jan. 1, 2025.
Chairman Norm Holmen reported the county health insurance committee recommended remaining with Blue Cross Blue Shield for 2025 coverage. The board unanimously approved raising the single-coverage cap from $900 to $1,000 effective Jan. 1, 2025, and voted to increase the VEBA/HSA contribution for family coverage from $265.76 to $500 per month effective Jan. 1, 2025.
The minutes record unanimous votes but do not include projected fiscal impacts or actuarial estimates; departmental budgeting will reflect the higher cap and increased county contribution for family coverage in next year’s benefit planning.
