Summary
The board approved the 2026 medical, prescription, vision and dental plans through AIM Medical Trust, increased the HSA employer match to $1,000 for HDHP participants, and staff reported AIM will not require medical premium deductions for October (covering November premiums).
The Scottsburg Board of Public Works and Safety approved its 2026 group insurance offerings on Aug. 27, retaining a preferred-provider (PPO) option and a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) option for medical and prescription coverage, and keeping vision coverage at current rates with a two-year rate lock. Staff said Delta Dental will remain the dental provider despite a 7% rate increase; staff reported changing providers would cause greater disruption to employees. The board also approved raising the city’s HSA contribution match for employees on the HDHP from $750 to $1,000. The city will provide the match up front; employees on the HDHP must contribute $1,000 through the remainder of the year to meet the match requirement. Separately, staff told the board that AIM Medical Trust will issue a premium holiday: the trust notified participating employers it will not require employee medical-premium deductions in October to cover November premiums. Staff said the city is awaiting guidance from the trust and a mid-September webinar to clarify payroll processing for implementation. The board approved the insurance plan package and HSA-match increase on a unanimous voice vote.
