I thought some of you might find this interesting...
Wife came home from work today with detailed info of how our health screenings/BMI/waist circumference is going to affect our 2020 health insurance through her company, and this ain't chump change we're talking.
Summary: At the extremes, we can receive a $500.00/year incentive or pay a $1,200.00/year surcharge.
========== Complete Both Steps by November 30, 2019
Step 1: Know Your Numbers
- Complete a Free health screening at your work site, a local lab or your doctor's office.
(Completing Step 1 each year is a program requirement).
Incentive: $100.00 for you and $100.00 for spouse.
Surcharge: $50.00 per month if you do not complete Step 1.
++++++++++
Step 2: Meet the Healthy Outcomes Goal OR Complete a Healthy Lifestyle Program
- BMI less than 30 OR - A 2-point BMI improvement over previous year OR - Waist circumference less than 35" women and less than 40" men
Incentive: $150.00 for you and $150.00 for spouse.
Surcharge: $25.00 per month if you complete Step 1 but do not complete Step 2. ==========
Eh, nothing kicks your ass into gear like getting (and not paying) extra $$$. Personally, I find these requirements to be fair (especially optional waist measurement over BMI).
