County employee raises health insurance coverage dispute

Summary

A 21-year county employee told the board her husband's FDA-approved cancer treatment has been stuck since August because IBX won't even accept a pre-authorization request under the county's self-funded plan. She's asking commissioners to push county HR and IBX to resolve it — a question of how well the county's health plan works for its own workers.
