The group discussed the implementation of difference cards for health insurance copays, funded by the school through savings from switching plans. Mehmet explained that there would be a cap on the school's contribution, with the insurance company covering costs beyond the cap. Destiny raised concerns about potential overspending, particularly for frequent appointments like mental health visits, and Mehmet acknowledged her expertise and invited her to join upcoming meetings to provide additional guidance. The discussion touched on how the card system would work with specific medical codes to ensure proper usage for copays.

Mehmet provided background on being approached by companies which offered to negotiate better rates through a co-employment partnership. The proposed plan could save the school significant amount of funds while reducing employee deductions, though it would involve using a difference card system for copays. The team agreed to schedule a follow-up meeting for Friday at 11 to discuss the proposal further, with Mehmet offering to email additional details to Destiny for review.
