MERIDIAN, Miss. -- Meridian city officials could choose a different carrier for employees' health insurance when the city council meets on Tuesday.
The mayor and council have heard recent proposals from the city's existing carrier, Fox-Everette and from United Healthcare.
Fox-Everette representatives told the council their prices are competitive and there was a cost-saving measure for dialysis that could save between $35,000 and $40,000 on claims each month.
United Healthcare representatives said they could save the city at least 8 percent in costs.
Of the approximately 550 full time employees, The Meridian Star reports (http://bit.ly/1oO9ZlK) 431 have the city's health policy.
