During a time when health care costs continue to rise, Lexington Council members have been advised the City’s health insurance strategy continues to work. Major changes were made to save costs more than a decade ago. That’s when the urban county government implemented both an employee medical clinic and a pharmacy. Benji Marrs is the senior benefit manager with Bim Group. He was asked last week if worker premiums benefits could result from Lexington joining other local governments in providing health insurance.
“Your resources allocated are at full capacity, so adding any more organizations or eligibility classes to requires additional staff up of clinicians, and then you have to access who’s using the most of what,” said Marrs.
