Premium Incentive

Samaritan employees hired on or before July 1, 2020, can qualify for the Premium Incentive — the lowest premium for 2021.

To qualify, Samaritan employees must complete an online health assessment between Aug. 1-31, 2020. The next step is to enroll in the Samaritan Choice Wellness Plan through PeopleSoft during open enrollment in November 2020. Only employees who have completed both steps will qualify for the lowest premium for 2021.

Review your online health assessment results on the My Wellness portal (accessed from My Health Plan). If you did not complete your online health assessment between Aug. 1–31, 2020, you will not be eligible for the Premium Incentive for 2021.

An online health assessment is a valuable tool that provides you with personalized information about your health risks and strengths. 
Access the online health assessment on the My Wellness portal (accessed through My Health Plan), by clicking the “Health Assessment & Results” tile. If you have trouble logging in, or are not a current member, please review the alternate log-in instructions. The health assessment is available to complete at any time, but you will not qualify for the Premium Incentive if you d0 not complete it between Aug. 1–31, 2020. If you complete it before Aug. 1, 2020, you will need to complete it again to quality for the Premium Incentive.
Taking the online health assessment is like giving yourself an annual health checkup. The report will help you focus on the things that can have the biggest impact on your health. You will also get suggestions on how to take action with online tools or other resources available to you.
Taking the online health assessment is quick and easy — it only takes about 15 minutes to answer questions about your health and health habits using the secure, online portal.
At the very basic level, you will need to know your blood pressure, weight, height, waist measurement, blood test results (triglycerides and LDL/HDL cholesterol). If you do not know your blood pressure or cholesterol, that is fine, you are able to choose what range you fall in (i.e. Low, Normal, Borderline, High or Don’t Know), but the calculation for your Risk for Disease and Health Management Meter may not be able to be calculated accurately. 
The Acknowledgement Agreement Form contains information regarding the Wellness Program for the Samaritan Choice Wellness Plan.  
Once you complete your online health assessment you will be provided a personalized health assessment report showing your current health status. This report will help you take real and meaningful steps to invest in your health, wellness, and longevity. Samaritan Health Plans encourages you to see and share the results with your doctor if there is anything out of range.
