State health coverage contract changes under review
The Thompson administration plans to sign a contract with Blue Cross Blue Shield to reduce hospitalization benefits for about 145000 state employees while expanding outpatient coverage. The plan aims to save about 11 million in taxpayer funds, with a $1000 annual employee cap and $2500 for families, balancing higher deductibles with broader outpatient care and no change to psychiatric benefits.
