Improving your and your family's health outcomes is our number one goal at the State Employee Health Plan, and evidence-based medicine tells us that preventive care is the most effective way to do that. That's why I am happy to say that in 2023 we set a new record for the number of members completing an annual physical, and more of you than ever are taking advantage of other free preventive care like dental cleanings and cancer screenings.    

The 2024 Wellness Rewards Program will continue to reward employees and spouses on the State Employee Health Plan with up to $500 each in gift card rewards. There are over 25 rewardable activities to choose from, enabling you to customize your wellness program to fit your specific needs.   

Here are some of the notable changes to the program:  

• The reward for physical activity tracking is increasing from $50 to $180.  
• New rewardable activities include; mental health check-ins, participating in a 5K, exercise class or sports league, and building a healthy habit.
• Also new this year is the Challenge Bonus, which will give employees a chance to earn a bonus $25 in rewards throughout the year. The first challenge starts in January with the agency vs. agency Health Assessment Battle, which will encourage employees to complete their online Health Assessment. Employees of the winning agencies who have also completed their Health Assessment in January will receive an additional $25 in wellness rewards. More information about this will be announced this week.
