Stuart thank you I tried to send you some additional information about an hour ago sorry I was so late with it but the Colorado River Area Health Trust Benefit trust has met a couple of times recently and based on the information presented from three companies then
002selected to move to Kairos because they carry Blue Cross Blue Shield for the health insurance and pharmacy they also elected to stay with business direct direct that we currently have stay with emeritus for dental and stay with them for life insurance and short-term disability and as a trust for the two school districts they can do those make those recommendations to the two boards I sent you a little while ago also comparison the costs are not increasing the premiums are not increasing for dental vision life insurance short-term disability none of those are increasing and the only difference will be in the health insurance when the trust compared the plans between the Maritim which is the current company carried by Advait and Blue Cross Blue Shield carried by Kairos the actual programs that the program that we've
003been carrying with me retain and the comparison program with Kairos were not very far apart in terms of cost about $4 a month difference but the factors that influence the decision by the trust board had to do with significant difference in the maximum amount each month being paid out for medications difference in the ductal each month or the deductible amount each month but the deductible for the plans and and the ability for Blue Cross Blue Shield to be available virtually everywhere the ambassadors who are the teacher representatives from the various schools who also have the discussions with the trust Lord have been pretty unhappy for a while certainly this entire school year and I suspect before this year with the quality of service from Barrentine and so they were pretty happy about to be considered
004to be able to consider Blue Cross Blue Shield so the trust is recommending that the district offered the copay plan for eight hundred ninety six dollars a month per employee that employees be able to buy up if you will to the court which lowers their deductible but then they have to pay some money each month to buy up to that point in and then we also offer the high deductible plan HDHP for $1,500 deductible for active I'm sorry but not the others so we would have we would as a district would pay for one plan and employees could buy up to two other plans if they wanted to I'll answer any questions you might have and it would be my recommendation that we improve copay as the one is the plan that the district we
005paid for at eight hundred ninety six dollars a month we have any questions okay motion to approve we changed the insurance the insurance carriers from Maritain to Blue Cross Blue Shield from as bait to Karros and stay with the vision dental and life insurance we currently have that covered so keep the current others change the health insurance purchase by Jenny Boylan hi brandy du Bois hey Doug let's name all right item 3.1 we need a motion to adjourn I'll second Corey Burgess I'm Jenny Boylan hi brandy Dubois hi Doug Lutz I we are adjourned thank you for a special meeting I appreciated you
