From today’s Joplin Globe:
JOPLIN, Mo. — Recommendations on what the city of Joplin can do to limit health insurance cost increases will be heard at a work session today of the City Council.
The council will hear a report on the city’s options devised by a consulting firm hired earlier this year, Segal Co., of Chicago.
Leslie Jones, the city’s finance director, said the city has three options for providing employee insurance.
Bids could be solicited for coverage through a traditional carrier, which the city has now through Humana.
The cost of using a traditional carrier has increased to about $3.8 million a year, including what the city and the employees pay for health, life, dental and vision coverage, Jones said.
