LEE JOHNSON MID AMERICA BENEFITS INSURANCE RENEWAL - Lee Johnson was present and reviewed the bids he received on the renewal of the health insurance. Hall County has had a good year with no major shock claims. Utilization is at about 22% to 24% which is not far from the national average. He provided the board with information concerning the current carrier and reviewed the specific coverage. This is the deductible that the county has to pay before the insurance company steps in and pays. We have a $50,000.00 deductible. We currently have a 12/15 month contract, the 12 represents the number of months that the claim can be incurred and paid months after the contract year is over. He is recommending changing this to a 12/12 coverage. The dental insurance is a stand-alone policy at the 80/20% coverage. He provided the board members with bid information on the top 4 bids. The bid represent a higher specific of $60,000.00 and this raises the claim potential, but with the amount of dollars in the side fund the county is covered. He recommended accepting the renewal from the current carrier and suggested using some of the claims funds to lower the renewal premiums. By doing this it would only be a 4% increase. The dental insurance policy is also self funded and it would also only have a 4% increase. The life insurance premium dropped to $3.80 per person. 4
