Consideration of Resolution in Support of House Bill 551 Tabled until April 2, 2018 Board of Commissioners Meeting. E. Request for Approval of Contract with Duke Life Point (DLP) / Central Carolina Medical Group, LLC Lee County implemented the first phase of an employee wellness program in November of 2012. The purpose of the program was to educate, improve and change the behavior of our employees regarding their health. Since the implementation of the program, reduction in the cost of Lee County employee's claims has been achieved, thus lowering premiums over the last several years. Lee County has now implemented the second phase of the employee wellness program. DLP Central Carolina Medical Group, LLC will prove on-site acute care for employees and employees' dependents who are on the County's Health Insurance Plan. Employees can receive care and the costs of that care will not be billed to BCBS. This will reduce the cost of claims. The wellness center will also reduce the time away from work for employees who normally would have longer wait times in a physician's office. The wellness center will be located next door to the Government Center. DLP Central Carolina Medical Group, LLC will provide a Nurse Practitioner and a Certified Medical Assistant 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. The Group will provide the licensing and professional liability insurance for one million dollars per occurrence. A licensed physician employed by DLP Central Carolina Medical Group, LLC, will supervise the wellness center. The plan for the future is to use the wellness clinic to do drug testing, employee screenings and worker's compensation injuries in addition to providing acute care. Open House for the Wellness Center will occur on April 2"d, and will open for business on Tuesday, April 3rd, 2018.
