Insurance changes A request for proposal has been issued for the dental plans.
State law requires that once a company has had a contract for 6 years, that bids be issued for that contract. This means that we may or may not have new dental companies next year. The current companies could remain if they bid and if they are awarded the contracts. Due to rising health care costs and rising prescription drug costs, we can expect to see an increase in our insurance premiums next year. The premium sharing amount is set by the legislature.
