Kerrville to offer third health insurance option following employee concerns, KSAT reporting

The City of Kerrville will offer its employees a third insurance plan option after voicing concerns about increased monthly payments, City Manager Dalton Rice announced in a meeting Tuesday.

The new plan is a mid-tier, Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) option available to employees and their families.

Kerrville is recommending its employees select the new plan, which is completely paid for by the city if the employee is the only person covered.

When covering additional family members, the new plan is more expensive than the low-tier Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) plan, but cheaper than the original PPO plan offered.

The highlight of the plan is that it offers expanded access to providers, providing out-of-network coverage not available through the low-tier Health Maintenance
