Insurance

[April 02, 2014]  Below is a copy of the minutes from the Feb. 18 meeting of the Logan County Board Insurance Committee.

Insurance and Legislative Meeting
Logan County Safety Complex
February 18, 2014

Present: Jan Schumacher; Andy Anderson; Kevin Bateman; Dave Hepler; Bill Martin

Absent: Chuck Ruben

Guests: Pamela Meagher; Lisa Bobb; Nancy Schaub

Mrs. Schumacher called the meeting to order at 7:15 pm.

A motion was made by Mr. Anderson, seconded by Mr. Bateman, to approve the minutes from the January 8, 2014 meeting as printed. Motion passed.

Old Business

1) County physician (IWIN): Mr. Wright’s previous concerns regarding this issue were forwarded to IWIN for a response. That response was provided to the committee for review. A motion was made by Mr. Bateman, seconded by Mr. Hepler, to defer this item to March for more discussion. Motion passed.

2) Special event insurance (TULIP): The committee agreed not to establish any additional requirements for requests to use County property.

3) Cyber liability insurance: Mrs. Schumacher reported Viscon does not offer any coverage to the County as part of their service. The committee asked Mrs. Schumacher to identify how many other counties purchased this option. They also were interested in specific coverages provided. This item will be deferred until March for additional consideration.

4) AFLAC: Mrs. Meagher reported the billing issues appeared to be resolved, but returned within a month. She has continued to contact the Corporate office and was advised payments are not being forwarded from the group billing side to the individual side. Reconciling the AFLAC bill takes a considerable amount of time. Mr. Bateman suggested employees be notified that a replacement provider for these benefits is being sought because of ongoing issues. Mrs. Schumacher will draft an e-mail to employees. A motion was made by Mr. Bateman, seconded by Mr. Anderson, to replace AFLAC when arrangements are made with a suitable provider. Motion passed.

New Business

1) Revisions to policies and procedures: This is being handled through Executive Committee and will come forward to the full Board.

Insurance Administrator Report: Ms. Schaub reported she has not been able to receive the Blue Cross renewal offer yet. Because of the Affordable Care Act, all processes are delayed and cumbersome. Blue Cross has indicated they would provide the renewal offer by March 15th. This would be after the March Insurance meeting and she has requested to have it available prior to that time. The committee agreed, because of market volatility associated with the Affordable Care Act, to stay with Blue Cross Blue Shield as long as any increase is manageable. Mrs. Meagher was contacted by Larry Bomke to see if the County is interested in further information regarding the liability insurance pool he is associated with (ICRMT). The committee agreed not to pursue this further, as CIRMA’s service has been satisfactory. Nothing further to report.
