Commission approves one-year Blue Cross renewal and amends wellness incentive policy
Summary
The commission authorized a one-year renewal of employee health coverage with Blue Cross Blue Shield and adopted two amendments to the wellness incentive policy, including extending biometric-screening validity to 24 months.
The Leavenworth County Commission voted to renew employee health insurance for another year with Blue Cross Blue Shield and to authorize the county administrator to sign the one-year extension. Staff told commissioners the renewal reflected the lowest rate they'd seen in years and that employee cost share would remain unchanged.
The board also approved two changes to the county wellness incentive policy: eliminating the requirement that award funds be deposited into employees' HSA accounts and extending biometric-screening validity from 12 to 24 months. County staff presented the items as routine administrative business; motions were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
