The Nevada Public Employees Benefit Program board met Wednesday to discuss plan adjustments for the upcoming plan year.
The discussion included options for adjustments to monthly premiums, deductibles and the maximums for out-of-pocket costs for many state employees and retirees.
The board will make a final decision on the changes in March.
"Unfortunately, the health care costs affecting PEBP are not unique; we are seeing similar, unprecedented increases in inflationary costs across all health care markets right now,” said Stacie Weeks, Director of the Nevada Health Authority. “This is why we are exploring new ways of purchasing and providing coverage at the state level with national experts, including better options for our state employees and retirees."
You can submit public comments on the upcoming changes ahead of their March meeting on the PEBP website.
