Almost three years after deciding to start the process to join the multi-county health insurance agency, the Kandiyohi County Board officially approved a motion to join PrimeWest Health. This will include paying the company approximately $258,000, which is significantly less than the $3.6 million that county was originally having to pay to join.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, Medica and UnitedHealthcare are expanding in the state insurance programs. HealthPartners dropped 22 counties.
