County Commissioners
Vote Down All Changes to
Countys Healthcare Plan
By Crista Dockray
Staff Writer
At the regularly scheduled meeting,
Tuesday, Tim Hayden, the Director of
Finance and Budget, and Sherrie Myers, Benefits Coordinator presented the
Board of the County Commissioners
with possible healthcare changes to the
countys current healthcare plan.
According to documents, on March
15, CareFirst, the Countys healthcare
provider, presented information about
the countys healthcare plan and made
recommendations for changes. County
Staff presented this information again on
March 22.
The changes covered three different
categories, a medical plan change, a prescription plan change, and a change to
the emergency room co-pays.
The medical plan change claimed to
save the county $110,000, replace the
PPO plan with Blue Choice Advantage,
and it said the participants of the plan
would see no change.
I really believe that anyone who understands this change would be in favor
of it, said Hayden.
However, all county commissioners
expressed dislike in the idea right off the
bat.
Commissioner Mike Hart said that he
had talked to a lot of people and there is a
lot of animosity and nervousness around
the issue as people feel they have not
received enough information about the
possible change.
Basic rule number one for change
management, there are three words that
come out; communicate, communicate,
communicate. I dont think this happened here, said Commissioner President Evan Slaughenhoupt.
I think when you change something
and you say theres really no change, its
hard for me to swallow that, said Hejl.
The motion to keep the PPO the same
passed five to zero.
The prescription plan change would
move the county to a Formulary 2 program, eliminate certain drugs, but offer alternatives, and save an estimated
$83,210.
Slaughenhoupt expressed his worry on
making such a serious decision. None of
us are physicians and were being asked
to make some decisions that are medically relatedthis is very serious, we take
this very, very seriously on behalf of the
employees. Its not just dollars I think,
said Slaughenhoupt.
upgrade in ratings accounts for a savings of more than $37,000 annually for
Calvert County citizens.
Under the CRS, local officials are
asked to meet three goals: (1) reduce
flood losses; (2) facilitate accurate insurance rating; and (3) promote the awareness of flood insurance.
Communities can earn a CRS rating
by submitting an application explaining the projects they have in place or in
development.
For each class that a community
moves up to, it provides its residents
with an additional 5 percent reduction
in their flood insurance premiums up to
the 45 percent reduction that a Class 1
community receives. As a Class 8 community, Calvert County enables its residents to receive a 10 percent reduction
on eligible flood insurance premiums.
For information about flood insurance,
property owners should contact their insurance agent, visit floodsmart.gov or
call the NFIPs toll-free information line
at 800-427-4661. To learn if you live in a
designated floodplain, visit www.co.cal.
md.us/floodmap. Learn more about the
CRS by visiting www.co.cal.md.us/CRS

Pat Collins Golf Classic To Be Held May 26 at Chesapeake Hills Golf Course
The Arc of Southern Maryland will hold
its 14th Annual Pat Collins Golf Classic, May
26 at Chesapeake Hills Golf Course. It starts
at 7:30 a.m. with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start.
For more than a decade the tournament
was held at the Twin Shields Golf Course.
The popular golf course, which was located
in Dunkirk, MD, closed its doors in 2015.
This year the tournament will be held at
Chesapeake Hills Golf Course in Lusby, MD.
Jennie Parran, the tournament coordinator,
expressed excitement about the new venue.
The Arc has a wonderful relationship with
the countys parks and recreation department. Holding our tournament here reflects
that history, she said. Chesapeake Hills is
owned and operated Calvert County Parks
and Recreation.
