Pledge of Allegiance

Denise Palyo, Capital Financial Group, did her yearly presentation of various health insurance plans available to the Town for the upcoming plan year. Twenty-five different plans were presented to the Town Board along with information on three Medicare Advantage options.

Each plan is presented in a format that lists details, deductibles, co-pays, costs, etc.

The plan currently used by the Town will no longer be offered by CDPHP.

Ms. Palyo explained that Health Care reform mandates that children be covered for vision and dental.

Last year the Town of Day deposited $1250.00 for individual and $2500.00 for family into the Health Savings Account of each employee covered by the Town’s insurance plan for use in paying co-pays etc.

Councilman Jeff Gray asked if small employers could merge their health insurance plans together to get better rates but Ms. Palyo explained that doing so is against the law. Councilman Jeff Gray suggested putting in an additional $250.00 per person this year into the Health Savings Accounts to cover the increased expense to the employees.

Account Clerk Mary Ann Johnson explained that there are 4 people at the Highway Garage that contribute 15% per month towards their insurance in reply to a question

from Councilwoman April Schmick.

Town Board decided on CDPHP EPO #301 for those retired and under 65, retired and over 65 will be using Senior Blue HMO Standard 699 and for those currently working CDPHP HDEPO #349 along with adding the additional $250.00 for each person to the Health Savings Accounts of those covered.
