Purpose

Establishing the 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 Health Insurance Program for Sauk County.

Background

The employee health insurance program currently consists of three plan design options which are offered to eligible employees. Pursuant to the Personnel Ordinance, financial responsibility shall be limited to 88 percent of the least expensive plan option for single or family coverage.

 

 The County Administrator and Human Resources Director reviewed proposals submitted for 2023 and determined transitioning to Dean would be in the best interests of the county as they proposed the most cost-effective proposal for our service area and demographics while maintaining adequate coverage.   

 

The proposal from Dean drops the plan design to two options, a tiered copay plan and a point of service plan.  It also includes renewal guarantees into 2026 as follows: 2024 – not to exceed 6.5%, 2025 – not to exceed 7.9%, and 2026 – not to exceed 9.9%.
