LIVE STREAM: June 17, 2026 | Risk Management and Insurance Committee Meeting | SCPPS

The St. Charles Parish Public Schools Risk Management and Insurance Committee held a meeting on June 17, 2026, focusing primarily on the review of the Humanana Medicare Advantage plan's annual performance and utilization data. Representatives from Humanana and USI presented detailed reports on member engagement, benefit updates for 2027, and the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on pharmacy costs and plan expenditures. Key procurement-related discussions included the upcoming renewal of the fully insured Medicare Advantage plan, with emphasis on potential benefit design changes such as introducing deductibles or co-pays to manage rising costs driven by increased specialty medication usage and large claimants. The committee also discussed exploring alternative plan options by soliciting proposals from other Medicare Advantage carriers in the state to compare against the renewal offer. Action items included providing the board with a set of recommendations and options for plan modifications, additional education on preventive services, and consideration of contribution strategies between the board and retirees. A potential vote on plan renewal and changes was anticipated in August 2026.
