Hall County employees will soon be paying higher co-pays and premiums for health care coverage, with some increases designed to drive workers to use the county clinic and save on emergency room costs. “While we’ve made some strides, we still have too many claims and too many people going through the ER,” Human Resources Director Bill Moats told the Board of Commissioners at a Monday meeting. There were 316 ER visits in the first six months of the year at an average cost of $1,560 per visit.
