Adelup targets zero interruption with coverage
Frank Arriola says the negotiations over the government's health insurance contract have been stayed with all parties.
By KUAM NewsGuam - As a result of last week's protest filed by TakeCare Insurance, Governor Eddie Calvo's chief of staff Frank Arriola says the negotiations over the government's health insurance contract have been stayed with all parties. Arriola added that the administration will work to ensure there is no interruption in health insurance for the thousands of GovGuam employees and retirees covered by the current plan with SelectCare. TakeCare alleges DOA and the negotiating team failed to follow Guam procurement law and acted in such a way to discriminate against the company. Takecare is already embroiled in controversy surrounding Medical Loss Ratio. The insurance company's 30,000 subscribers aren't getting rebates. Instead stockholders of the company are splitting $15.2 million.
