The Germantown School Board approved achange in the district's health insurance carrier Aug.26, choosing Humana to replace longtime providerWEA Trust.

The change will occur Oct. 1. Under the Humanathird option approved by the board, the individualdeductible will be $1,000 within the preferredprovider option (PPO ) in network and $1,500 outsideof it. The family plan will be $2,000 for the PPO innetwork and $3,000 out of it. Under the Humanaplan, the individual out of pocket maximum will be$2,250 while the family out of pocket maximum willbe $4,500.

At the start of discussion, board member TomBarney explained that the district received bids fromHumana and WEA Trust. The WEA renewal rates were14 percent higher, which could have been reduced by2 percent if the district went into the wellness programoffered by WEA Trust. By comparison, Humana haswhat Barney called "an essentially identical plan"which has a 3.7 percent increase. The gap betweenthose figures is $294,347 in cost avoidance for thedistrict.

"This is an excellent way for cost containment,"board member Sarah Larson said in summarizing the
