Meridian council to vote on health insurance plan


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.
