Administrator Chandler noted that the base contract with <br />Stanford & Co. is for $8,500, and with the estimated cost of <br />$5,500 for these additional services, we still will be well <br />within our total budget of $20,000. <br />Commissioner Scurlock didn't understand the benefits that <br />the employees would gain from the Preferred Provider Organization <br />(PPO), and OMB Director Joe Baird explained that the employees <br />are reimbursed at 90% of their bill when using a PPO compared to <br />only 80% if they go to a doctor or facility not on the PPO list. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, that the Board authorize the <br />additional consulting services with Stanford 8 Co. in <br />the amount of $5,500, as set out in the above staff <br />recommendation. <br />Under discussion, Commissioner Eggert expressed her concern <br />about the creeping increases of the deductibles, and <br />Administrator Chandler explained that one of the reasons we are <br />going to the PPO is to hold down the amounts of the deductibles. <br />He emphasized that the cost of employee health insurance is a big <br />factor in our budget and our budget increases, and we anticipate <br />savings to the County through the PPO options. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION.
