Subject:

Discussion and possible action to accept revenue aid money from Aetna pursuant to Texas Local Government Code Sec. 111.0706 in the amount of $164,947.20 and authorizing the County Auditor to set up revenue and expense accounts for the limited purpose of implementing a Wellness/Clinical Operations program and authorizing the Webb County Judge to sign all relevant documents and any matters incident thereto. [Fund #6100 - Employee's Health Benefit Fund]

Issue: Aetna, Webb County’s Health Insurance Administrator, was contractually required to provide a Wellness Manager for the development and execution of a Webb County Wellness/Clinical Operations Program. Aetna has been unable to fill the position for approximately 3 months and counting. The Risk Management Department has been performing the duties to solidify a Wellness/Clinic Operations Program. Without said funds the County cannot afford to proceed with the program or pay a supplement to a Risk Management Employee to manage the Wellness/Clinical Operations Program. Currently, no job description requires a Risk Management Employee to run the Program.

Solution: Webb County Commissioners Court accept the aid money in accordance with Texas Local Government Code Sec. 111.0706 of the funds and allocate them to a wellness and clinical program. Said clinical program will be managed by the Risk Department at no cost to the County.

Result: The acceptance of the aid money will allow Risk Management to manage, direct, sustain and support an integrated Wellness/Clinical Operations Program which will directly benefit the County Employees by providing employees access to a clinic and prescription medication at no cost to them.
