Committee recommends Lincoln Financial for dental and life coverage; suggests voluntary BCBS vision option
Summary
Rankin School District #98’s committee recommended Lincoln Financial for dental and life insurance (cited lower rates and better benefits) and recommended offering voluntary vision through Blue Cross Blue Shield; the committee will forward these vendor recommendations to the Board of Education for approval.
The District Health Insurance Committee on Nov. 12 recommended Lincoln Financial as the district’s vendor for dental insurance and for life insurance, citing lower rates and stronger benefits compared with other quotes. The committee also recommended voluntary vision coverage through Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Committee discussion noted Lincoln Financial’s comparative benefits and pricing drove the recommendation. The committee framed these vendor selections as part of an overall package it will present to the Board of Education, alongside the recommendation to pursue BCBS-ACA rates for medical coverage and the voluntary telehealth offering.
The BOE will need to approve these vendor choices before the district can implement new dental, life, or vision offerings for staff.
