AI-6703 Discussion and possible action to approve plan design changes to the Webb County Employee Health Plan for Plan Year 2018; and any other matters incident thereto
Issue: The plan design that currently governs the County’s health insurance benefits is outdated and has significantly contributed to the ever increasing deficits in the County’s self-insured health fund. Changes in benefits to match current trends in the health insurance industry are needed to help the County remain within the budgeted amounts for the health plan.
Solution: Review the current plan and make the necessary changes to the plan to update the plan to current industry standards.
Result: By making changes to the plan, the County will reduce deficits in the fund and stay within amounts budgeted for the self-insured health plan.
|
| |
Motion by Commissioner, Pct. 3 John C. Galo, seconded by Commissioner, Pct. 1 Jesse Gonzalez to approve item #6 as is except for those changes and to adopt these but change the lower plan to the 6 and 12 for the out of pocket, to change the deductible from $2,000 to $1,500, imaging subject to co-insurance

AI-6706 Discussion and possible action to continue administering the Silver Choice program in conjunction with Texas Associations of Counties (TAC) and authorizing the County Judge to sign any relevant documents; and any matters incident thereto. There is no impact to the general fund or any other County fund.
Issue: Webb County presently acts as the administrator for the Silver Choice Program with TAC for those retirees receiving coverage through the program. There is no cost to the County and the Risk Office merely drafts the premiums from the Silver Choice retirees’ accounts and forwards the premiums to TAC. This plan year the retirees will be paying the full premium without any contribution from the County.
Solution: Continue administering the program for the Silver Choice retirees for Plan year 2018 and sign the agreement with TAC.
Result: The coverage for those Silver Choice retirees who choose to remain in the program will continue without interruption.
