No action was taken. The Board considered renewal of Lee County Health Insurance for FY 2014 -15. Human Resource Director Joyce McGehee presented a recommendation that Lee County remain with Blue Cross and Blue Shield (BCBS) of North Carolina for health insurance purposes for the upcoming year. It was proposed that the current PPO health insurance benefit and HSA Plan remain the same. The PPO Plan is a basic co -pay plan of $20 for office visits and pharmacy co -pays of $4, $40, and $55. Monthly cost to the employee will be $58.06 per month for those who participate in the county's wellness program and screenings. Non - participant premiums will increase from $75.40 to $83.06 per month. The HSA Plan will remain the same with a $1,000 contribution by the county for those employees who participate in the county's wellness program and screenings. Non- participants will receive a $700 contribution to their HSA account. It is proposed that retirees who are pre -sixty five have the option of choosing between the PPO and the HSA and post sixty -five retirees will remain on the MAPD Plan which is expected to increase in January 2015 by 9.5 %. Mark Browder from Mark III Brokerage stated there was an 11 % increase due to claims submitted from employees over the past year.
