Peter discusses health insurance with the VDOE employees. The old plan had a 1k deductible per person. The new plan has a 3k deductible per person. Wellness visits are going to continue to be free. Deductibles have increased slightly. Co-pays don’t count towards the deductibles. Jeff reports that both he and his wife have $400 health care costs that are “out there”. Jeff reports that he told Jay about this last week. Kelly wonders if he can put on one child but not his other children. Peter doesn’t know and advises Kelly to call the 1800 number. Peter doesn’t know if we can have different employees pay different amounts for different plans. 10k buyout is discussed. Jeff says he’s not interested. Kelly is interested in learning more about it. A cash back option exists for the employees. It’s related to “Slice of Life” program.
Kelly will get back to Adam or the BOC asap regarding what his family wants to do in regards to a buyout or the district healthplan. Jeff wants to have the two person plan. Kelly says he can’t afford to pay the difference from the two person to the family which is roughly $4800.
