Board approves 9.67% BC/BS rate increase for county medical plan
Summary
The Merrick County Board approved BC/BS rate changes presented by NACO, including a 9.67% increase to medical insurance; the board adopted the 2026 BC/BS rate with a $6,100 deductible and copay (unanimous vote).
Judd Allen of the Nebraska Association of County Officials presented proposed changes to Merrick County’s Blue Cross/Blue Shield (BC/BS) health insurance on May 12, saying the medical plan would see a 9.67% increase in rates. The board voted to adopt the BC/BS 2026 rate structure, which includes a $6,100 deductible with copay; the motion passed by roll call with all supervisors voting in favor.
