CHARLESTON, WV – The Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA) will hold a series of public hearings beginning Monday, March 27, 2023, to share details and gather public comment on the options under consideration for revised Plan Year 2024 Finance Plan.
The proposed options were discussed during a recent Finance Board Meeting and encompass approaches from simple premium increases to increases in deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums and other cost-sharing for public employees and non-Medicare retirees. These options will be presented and the Finance Board will take comments and questions as part of the upcoming public hearings. PEIA plan members are invited to make comments on the plans during the public hearings.
Following the public hearings, a second Finance Board Meeting is scheduled for March 30, 2023, to discuss the public input and vote on the plan.
