Discussion & Consideration of the Paytient Benefit
Human Resource Payroll & Benefits Administrator Jamie Park explained the benefit. It is offered to employees on the high-deductible plan. It is a credit line for the employee at zero interest to be used for medical expenses. Once used, the employees make payments through a withdrawal from their paycheck. The amount Paytient is charging for each employee each month is increasing from $2.53 to $3.12, or annually $3,744.00. If this benefit were offered to all employees covered by health insurance, the cost would be $2.95 per employee per month, or $5,487.00 annually. The parties discussed the plan and different options. The Commissioners would like more information; no decision was made today.
Discussion & Consideration of a Preventative Screening Incentive
Human Resource Payroll & Benefits Administrator Jamie Park explained she would like to encourage employees to go and get their annual preventative screenings done. She would like to promote it by offering a $50.00 incentive to employees on the insurance who receive their preventive yearly screenings. This would identify major issues earlier when it is easier to treat. When insurance companies review the annual renewal rate, this category is considered for the rate. Ms. Park believes that regular preventative exams for employees will save money on the renewal. The parties discussed the incentive and would like time to consider it.
