City Negotiates Health Insurance Snag
A city firefighter involved in an off-duty motorcycle crash in June was denied health insurance coverage for his injuries because the city’s health insurance required him to wear a helmet.
Lt. James Baker waited to see if the city council would accept a negotiated settlement this evening that would pay a reduced amount.
The Sebring City Council will meet at 6:30 p.m. today at 368 S. Commerce Ave. to vote on this and several other issues.
Baker suffered injuries from a motorcycle crash on U.S. 27 for which the medical claim came to about $86,000. He was airlifted to the Tampa General Hospital’s trauma center.
“I was out for a little less than two months,” said Baker. “I returned to full duty around the first of August 2009.”
Baker’s insurance claim was initially denied because a clause added to the city’s health insurance policy in 2005 on “activities of a hazardous nature,” excluded from coverage motor cycle accidents without helmets.
Health Care Bill Would Bring Higher State Medicaid Costs
The health bill passed by the House of Representatives Sunday would cost Nevada taxpayers an extra $613 million from 2014-2019, to provide health care to the needy.
According to early state estimates, the bill would make an additional 70,000 residents eligible for Medicaid. The state would be mandated to cover another 8,000 individuals who are now eligible but have not applied to be covered by the state health insurance program for the poor.
About 209,000 Nevadans are currently covered by Medicaid.
Including state and federal money, “the total cost of reform is $2.3 billion,” said Mike Willden, director of the state Department of Health and Human Resources.
Willden went through the numbers for the Nevada Vision Stakeholder Group, formed to develop a plan for the future, looking ahead as much as 20 years.

CALIFORNIA: The California Department of Insurance (CDI) has announced the release of e-mail notification system that will alert consumers when new individual health insurance rate filings are submitted. CDI has previously announced that it would begin publicizing rate filings for individual health insurance policies. Consumers are able to sign up online in the manner used for traditional e-mail updates. CDI has also developed a consumer website with rate filing information.
NEW JERSEY: Following recent enactment of Governor Chris Christie’s budget, the Democrat-controlled legislature passed supplemental appropriations bills to restore $24 million in funding for state’s uninsured health coverage program, known as FamilyCare, as well as $7.4 million in aid for women’s health and family planning programs. The FamilyCare restoration, if signed into law, would have allowed adults with income between 134 to 200 percent of the federal poverty level to remain in the program. Despite bipartisan support in the Senate, Governor Christie vetoed the legislation, saying that the state has reset spending to a level that taxpayers can afford. Legislative leadership has indicated they may try to override the governor’s veto. Overriding the governor’s veto would require a two-thirds majority in both houses.
