Allen County will continue to offer health insurance to its employees through a partially self-insured program.
County commissioners, gathering in an adjourned meeting Thursday, eschewed a proposal to go back to being fully insured through Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas.
Premiums would have been lower through BCBS at the outset, although the county likely wouldn’t realize any savings, commissioners noted, because of run-out costs associated with ending the self-insurance plan. Commissioners also anticipate rate increases with BCBS next year.
Commissioners voted 2-1.…
County’s self-insured program will remain
