  1. Why do the Selectmen have to vote on an employee health insurance increase of 1.72 % ? Is Blue Cross raising every town employee’s rate or just a certain group ? ( union / non-union ? Thanks

      Memo to: Board of Selectmen
      Memo From: Michael Sullivan, Town Administrator
      Re: FY14 Health Insurance Rates
      Date: April 19, 2013
      The Insurance Advisory Committee met last week and after a long discussion voted to recommend to
      the Board of Selectmen that the rates for the Active Employee HMO and PPO plans be increased by a
      uniform 1.72% for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013. The rate sheet showing these proposed
      increases is attached. The retiree plans are not affected by this rate increase, as they are Medicare
      Supplemental Plans, which are adjusted to coincide with the January 1 Medicare rate adjustment
      If you agree with this recommendation, please vote the proposed rate increases so we can notify the
      Town’s health insurance carrier, Massachusetts Interlocal Insurance Association, Blue-Cross-Blue Shield
      ofthe rate changes. On behalf of the Committee thank you.
