Dean Mayfield, Mayfield Insurance Company,provided the council with a report on the health insurance and quotes submitted for the year beginning September 1, 2012. The report showed this was not a good year for the town. This was the worst year in claims. The report was for ten months and showed$638,000 saved in network discounts, $42,000 in coordinated benefits, $340,883.71 due back to town for over the cap reimbursements and drugs at about$266,928.74 which is about the same as every year. Mr. Mayfield had a packet on the Obama Care law which changes constantly. He listed some things the Town could do to save some money: 1. We have no deductible,possibly need a$500 deductible per person on the plan. 2. Not allow spouses on the plan. 3. Change how much employees pay. 4. Change the co insurance to 90/10 to $30,000 or to 80/20. If we change it will change our grandfather status. Mr. Mayfield's recommendation was to renew with HCC with$500 deductible per person instituted on January 1, 2013. Councilman Cook was not in favor of the $500 deductible due to the fact the employees do not get a raise in pay. Councilman Langley thinks the $500 deductible was like a user fee, if the employees do not use it they won't be paying just the employees that do use it making it fairer. A motion was made to approve.HCC for renewal and the $500 deductible per person as recommended by Dean Mayfield., Councilman Mathis made the second. Motion carried 5-0. Obama Care information will-go to all employees eventually because of the 2014 changes.
