# 11/10/2026 - Hendricks Co. Joint Council / Commissioner's Meeting

At the November 10, 2026, Hendricks County Joint Council/Commissioners meeting, members reviewed stop-loss insurance marketing results and approved the renewal recommendation. The county will retain QBE for stop-loss coverage with a $300,000 specific deductible, and Tokyo Marine for the $80,000 aggregate-specific coverage, with UMR as administrator. The presenter reported that the negotiated renewal came in below the June projection of 13% and at 8.2% of expected cost; the recommendation was to keep the $300,000 deductible rather than increase it, given recent high-cost claims. The motion was seconded and approved by those voting in favor. No other contract awards or purchasing decisions were identified.

The group also heard that open enrollment had closed after two well-attended meetings, with rates and benefits unchanged for a third consecutive year. Commissioners requested comparisons of the county’s health-plan rates with Medicare, Medicaid, self-pay, and other plan tiers; follow-up with Hendricks Regional Health was offered. Commissioners expressed willingness to discuss helping the hospital amid financial pressures, but no funding commitment or spending action was made.
