Summary

Human Resources will place a Humana Group Medicare renewal on the consent agenda covering 11 county retirees; the premium increased about 6.15%, from roughly $486 to $516 per member per month.

Human Resources notified the board that the Humana Group Medicare plan renewal for county retirees will appear on the consent agenda.

Jessica Warren said the county has 11 retirees remaining on the plan for whom the county pays full medical and that the renewal produced a 6.15% premium increase. "So it went from $486 a month per member to $516 a month," Warren said, characterizing the change as a relatively modest increase in the current market.

The item was described as a consent‑agenda matter to be considered at the next meeting; commissioners asked no substantive questions beyond confirming the retiree count.
