INSURANCE POLICY WITH BLUE CROSS-BLUE SHIELD, CompChoice 250 plan The Benefits Committee met with representatives of Blue Cross-Blue Shield and with a representative of the North Dakota Public Employees Retirement System (NDPERS) to learn about health insurance options for the 1992 fiscal year. If the County stayed with the current policy, the employees' share of the premium would increase nearly 50% for 1992. The committee decided it was time to look at plans with higher deductibles to offset increasing premiums. At a meeting held Thursday, September 12th, the Benefits Committee voted to recommend a plan to the County Commission called CompChoice 250 through Blue Cross-Blue Shield. This plan was also presented to Cass County department heads at a meeting held September 16th, and the plan was endorsed by them, according to Auditor Michael Montplaisir. Deb Dahlsing from Blue Cross-Blue Shield pointed out the differences in deductibles, co-insurance maximums and premiums between the current policy and the CompChoice 250 plan. MOTION, passed Mr. Eckert moved and Mr. Risher seconded to accept the Benefits Committee recommendation for the CompChoice 250 health insurance plan beginning January 1, 1992, as endorsed by County department heads.
