Wellness – What We Believe
Healthcare Reform is going to increase medical trend over and above current projections
Participants must have “skin in the game” through active engagement and financial accountability.− Incentives should drive participation and reward those who do achieve
results Integrated claim, Health Risk Assessment, and Biometric data
establish the Risk Profile and allow for continuous program measurement– Targeted and population based, integrated with plan design and outcome
based Outcomes should be tracked by improving aggregate health status:
− BMI, Blood Pressure, Cholesterol/Fasting Glucose and Tobacco Use Long-term health improvement and cost reduction can only be
achieved with:− High consumer engagement (80% over 3-5 years)

Proposed Wellness Strategy
FY 2015 – July 1, 2014 Preferred Employee Pricing with Biometric Screening and Health Risk
Assessment (HRA) completion for employee and spouse Biometrics reported via service centers, screening events or doctor form
On-site biometric screening events from April to June 2014 Reduced employee charges of $600 for Employee and $600 for Spouse
FY 2016– July 1, 2015 Completion of Biometrics and Health Risk Assessment required to be
eligible for accumulation of points and employee preferred pricing Employees and Spouses achieve point level that determines FY 2016
(July 1, 2015) employee preferred pricing Introduce new streamlined number of activities required to get points
