County IDs possible health savings

Changes — but not too many changes — will have to be made to retain countyhealth insurance coverage as is in 2026.

Lew Wolters, a health/employee benefits agent with BHS Insurance appeared before the county board during their rescheduled meeting yesterday to answer questions about the coming contract, which will go into effect in February.

Board members who have been working on the proposed budget for several month had previously identified $2.6 million in premiums.
