Carter County Commissioners Have Voted To Switch Employee Health Insurance Providers Starting July First. The County Will Move From Blue Cross To Cigna To Avoid An Eighteen Percent Rate Hike. The New Plan Through Cigna Will Cost Just One Percent More Than Last Year And Offers Similar Coverage. The Change Comes As County Leaders Face Pressure To Control Costs Following Hurricane Helene. Commissioners Also Voted To Appoint Carol Whaley To A Vacant Seat In The Seventh District.
