7/31 DEADLINE FOR WELLNESS BENEFITS

Don’t miss your FINAL opportunity to avoid ADDITIONAL increases in your 2019 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, 2018.

For the PHA, you can now reach the Blue Cross website directly from your FirstFleet portal account.  On your Employee Benefit Info page, you can on the link “Access BCBST” to log directly into your BlueAccess account. 

Please note – The first time you log into the site, you will have to know your existing BlueAccess User ID and password.  But after you enter this the first time, you will not need this information again.  If you do not have a User ID with BCBST, you will need to create one, using the information on your Blue Cross insurance card.

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.   

For 2018, the Physician Forms that you will use for your BMS can also be downloaded/printed directly from your FirstFleet account too!  Click on the Wellness tab in the Employee Benefit Info page to download/print the entire form.  Carefully complete the top part of the form, take it to your physician or clinic and then make sure it is FAXED TO 214-203-0346.

As a note, all newly-hired employees hired after May 31, 2018 will be grandfathered into the wellness qualifications for this year.  These participants are not required to take the PHA nor Biometric Screenings in 2018.

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.
