Report shows Vigo health insurance costs down ? Local & Bistate ...

TERRE HAUTE ? Vigo County?s self-insured health insurance costs are down more than $650,000 from last year, county commissioners learned Wednesday in a report from Anthem Insurance.

Of that total, prescription costs were down about $123,000, dipping? to $683,000 from $806,000 last year, while medical costs dropped to just over $2,785,000 from just over $3,313,000 last year, a decrease of about $528,000.

Overall, medical claims were down 16 percent. The cost paid per employee dipped 12 percent from last year, while the cost per member, which includes family members, dropped 14 percent.

Vigo County funds medical expenses up to $75,000 per person, and costs over that are then covered by Anthem.

Effective April 1, the drug Lipitor, a cholesterol-lowering drug, will not be funded by Anthem, which instead will pay for a generic drug. Switching to generic would lower monthly costs to $10 from $30 a month for county employees.

For employees who still want the name brand drug, it may be required they go through a step therapy, which uses other drugs first. Commissioners have asked Anthem if that could be a viable option when the county renews its insurance this year.

It is the first year of the county?s health plan under a new fiscal year, which runs annually from July 1 to June 30. The move was made to allow county officials to gain a clear grasp of health care costs prior to the passage of an annual county budget. The Anthem report showed expenses from Feb. 2, 2011, through Jan. 31, 2012.

Most of the lower costs comes from savings measures that include a spousal carve-out program, which removed spouses who have access to insurance at their employment; changes in deductibles; plus adding a fourth payment tier for employees on higher-cost drugs.

However, the county still has areas to improve. For example, last year there were 174 visits to hospital emergency rooms, resulting in 22 in-patient admissions.

?That is high,? Jacque Pentell, vice president for employee benefits at Forrest Sherer Insurance, which manages the county?s health plan, said of the number of ER visits.

One way to improve that number is with the implementation of a county wellness center, expected to open in April, and implementation of a wellness program.

Commissioner Paul Mason said the county is using the savings in lower health costs to construct, stock and open the wellness center in the Vigo County Annex.

?The center will probably result in more savings next year. So, if we see savings with the wellness center and from the insurance, I think that will be a big plus for Vigo County employees,? Mason said.

Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, and moon to put on rare spectacle in sky

This past weekend, three planets joined the moon in a rare alignment. On Monday, these celestial bodies will be joined by Mercury.?

A cosmic team-up of planets and the thin crescent moon is dazzling skywatchers around the world this weekend, and the celestial sky show is just getting started.

Skip to next paragraph

The planets Venus and Jupiter dominate the western evening sky at sunset on Saturday and Sunday (Feb. 25 and 26), with the crescent moon hovering nearby. The planet Mercury joins the cosmic trio briefly just after sunset before slipping below the horizon.

The planet Mars is also making its own appearance in the evening sky, but rises in the east a few hours after sunset in its own solo celestial show.

The?sky maps of Jupiter, Venus and the moon here?show how the bright objects, as well as Mars later, will appear in the night sky.?

"This is a great weekend to watch the sun go down. Venus, Jupiter and the slender crescent moon are lining up in the western sky, forming a bright triangle in the evening twilight," astronomer Tony Phillips of the skywatching website?Spaceweather.com?wrote in an alert. "These three objects are so bright, they shine through thin clouds and even city lights."?[Skywatcher Photos: Jupiter, Venus & the Moon]

Skywatchers have already been amazed at the sight of Jupiter and Venus shining together with the moon this week.

"To see the three brightest objects in the sky form a perfectly straight line in the west was a very beautiful and very powerful sight that I will not forget," skywatcher and nature photographer William Ott told SPACE.com in an email. Ott snapped photos of the planets and moons from a spot just outside Woodstown, N.J.

On Saturday and Sunday, the moon, Venus and Jupiter will appear as a skinny triangle of celestial lights. However, the triangle will have a slightly different configuration on each night.

Tonight, Jupiter, Venus and Mercury will align in a diagonal line (with Jupiter at the top) with the moon appearing just above and at the right of Venus. On Sunday night, the cosmic line-up happens again, but this time the moon will appear higher in the sky, just to the right of Jupiter.
