Lake View City Insurance Costs Increase Nearly 20 Percent

The City of Lake View reviewed their healthcare insurance contract through Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield with an increase in rates for the year during Monday night’s Lake View City Council meeting. City Administrator, Scott Peterson, says the increase was substantial.

The nearly 20 percent increase was more than the city expected and, it will cost the city tens of thousands of dollars per year if they were to remain with Wellmark.

He says Wellmark provided several causes for the spike in price.

The city council approved the renewal, but they will begin searching for alternative options to provide healthcare coverage for their employees.
