JCHC Seeing Increase in Insurance Premiums

Property and auto insurance premiums have increased dramatically for the Johnson County Healthcare Center, but the search will continue to find a better option for the facility, according to discussions at the recent meeting of the hospital board of trustees.

JCHC CEO Sean McCallister explained what he had learned from Trevor Moon with North Wyoming Insurance.

Moon told the board that the premium with the current insurance provider in 2020 was roughly $32,000 for property and auto, but their quote for 2021 for just property insurance would be nearly $80,000.

After looking at different insurance providers, Travelers Insurance gave a quote of roughly $80,000 for both property and auto, but with a substantial increase in deductible.

McCallister said there was a need to make a decision, but with the idea to continue looking for a better deal for the facility.

No action was needed by the board.
