Charleston West Virginia AP The Public Employes Insurance Board will raise group health insurance rates about 15 percent effective July 1 to cover higher costs at 21 hospitals. Executive secretary Robert Slack said new rate schedules will go to spending agencies and to state employees who pay 30 percent of the premium the first year in the plan. Slack will seek a $3 million legislative supplement in January to cover increases for general revenue payroll employees. The board shifted to self insurance after Blue Cross raised costs. Slack notes savings of $1.2 million in the first year but higher hospital rates since January. Blue Cross increased its rates twice, including a 33 percent jump. The 15 percent hike is the board's first.
