The District will be changing to a new health insurance provider beginning January 1, 2018. As normal practice the District asked for health insurance bids prior to our annual renewal. The District's current provider, Blue Cross Blue Shield, called for a 18.5% increase in premiums. Additional bids were reviewed from several other providers. Working closely with the insurance committee, the District accepted the bid from Humana. Beyond being a flat (0%) rate increase, it is anticipated that Humana will provide the most seamless change as their coverage is quite comparable with our current BCBS plans. They have an excellent wellness plan and our research showed that most doctors used by our staff are accepted by both providers. Open enrollment will be scheduled for this fall as in years past. If you have any questions regarding any possible changes you may contact Laura Ford in the Benefits office.
