7/31 DEADLINE FOR WELLNESS BENEFITS

Don’t miss your FINAL opportunity to avoid ADDITIONAL increases in your 2018 health insurance premiums.  In order to avoid these additional premium costs EVERY COVERED EMPLOYEE under our health insurance plan must complete BOTH the Personal Health Assessment (PHA) and a Biometric Screening BEFORE July 31, 2017.

To complete the PHA, please log on to www.bcbst.com and go to Blue Access.

Instructions to complete the PHA can be accessed from this link.

To complete the Biometric Screening, a basic annual well visit (physical) must also be completed by the employee’s medical provider or a local clinic. Covered providers can be located by calling the Member Services phone number on the back of your insurance card (1-800-565-9140).  Biometric Screenings may also be done at many of the clinics that perform DOT physicals for FirstFleet drivers.   

The Physician Screening Forms are personalized this year with your specific information to take to your primary care physician.  You can access these directly on your BlueAccess account at www.bcbst.com. Blue Cross can email one or mail it to your home by calling 877-412-4828.

As a note, all newly-hired employees hired after May 31, 2017 will be grandfathered into the wellness qualifications for this year.  These participants are not required to take the PHA nor Biometric Screenings in 2017.

For more information and additional details, you may wish to visit the Employee Benefits page online here.

If you have any questions, please send an email to the Wellness Committee, and we will gladly answer any questions for you.
