PEIA Approves Health Insurance Plan
WEST VIRGINIA....
Thursday, the state Public Employees Insurance Agency Finance Board unanimously approved its 2011-12 health insurance plan that provides for premium increases of $14-a-month for all types of coverage. Insurees can wipe out the premium increase by undergoing a four-step wellness screening to measure waist circumference, total cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood glucose, a $10-a-month premium discount, and submitting an affidavit verifying they have filed an advanced directive for end-of-life care, sometimes called a "living will." That provides an additional $4-a-month discount.
