County hears briefing on switch from MEBC to CEBCO health plan administration
Summary
Commissioners heard a presentation on the planned transition from MEBC to CEBCO administration for county employee health insurance, including benchmarking, average plan ages, spousal restrictions and proposed tiering changes.
At 10:30 a.m. Hancock County Commissioners met with Ben Otley and Lori Huth for a briefing on the county’s employee health insurance renewal and administrator transition.
Ben Otley provided background on the transition from MEBC to CEBCO and summarized experience from 2023 to the present; discussion included the average age of employees and dependents covered on the county plan, proposed changes to the CEBCO renewal period, spousal restriction policies and possible implementation of multiple-tier premium rates. County staff referenced the State Employment Relations Board 2025 health insurance report to compare Hancock County with similarly sized counties.
Commissioners asked questions about how the proposed changes would affect county premiums and eligibility rules. The board did not take a formal vote at the meeting; the presentation was for information and subsequent steps were left to staff and benefits administrators.
