[IMGCAP(1)]Today’s “Wish You Were Here” comes from Central Nebraska Public Power in Holdrege, NE. In 2006, CNPP implemented a consumer-driven health plan with assistance from Meritain Health, successfully reducing their drug costs by 42%, their medical and dental claims by 34%, and their cost trend by 12%. Out of 98 employees, 70% selected the CDH plan.
Employees working at CNPP also receive full retirement health benefits, a benefit they were on the verge of losing prior to the switch to a CDHP.
