U-46 may swap insurer:

The Elgin Area School District U-46 Health Care Committee is recommending Aetna Inc. replace UnitedHealthcare as the third-party administrator for the district's health care program. Aetna would administer an HMO, a traditional PPO, a high-deductible PPO with a health savings account (replacing the current health reimbursement account), the pharmacy program, the dental program, the employee assistance program, flexible spending accounts and other ancillary health care programs. The arrangement is subject to the approval of the U-46 school board and would be effective Jan. 1.
