It Pays to STAY HEALTHY

As a McLeod Health employee, you have access to the benefits of our Healthier You Program. If you and your spouse are on the McLeod Health Insurance Plan, both are eligible to participate.

Our Healthier You Program is designed to improve wellness. Employees can enjoy premium credits and avoid surcharges when participating in Healthier You.

By participating in Health Risk Assessment (HRA) and health screenings such as colonoscopies or mammograms, providers are able to integrate early interventions when a health condition or disease has been detected. Early detection ensures the proper course of action can be incorporated within a healthcare plan to avoid any complications.

Below are the requirements to receive the premium credit for the 2024 plan year. Employees can earn a premium credit with or without spouse participation. By getting the correct health services, screenings, and treatment, you are taking important steps toward living a longer, healthier life.

If you have any question, please call McLeod Healthier You at 1-888-808-7466.

Tobacco Surcharge

For employees and spouses who are not currently receiving the nicotine surcharge, no testing will be required for the 2024 plan year.

Employees who are currently receiving the nicotine surcharge will have the opportunity to complete nicotine testing. If you test negative the 2024 surcharge will be waived. You will be notified of testing locations and dates for October and November of this year.

Spouses who are currently receiving the nicotine surcharge will be required to attest (employee attests on behalf of spouse) for nicotine use during 2024 benefits enrollment. If you attest no, no further action is needed.

For employees and spouses who are currently receiving the nicotine surcharge or attest positive, you may opt to complete a tobacco cessation program.

Contact Healthier You for more details.

*New Hire Employees will continue to be tested for nicotine during onboarding.

*Please note that inaccurate statements regarding tobacco status of you and/or your spouse (if applicable) can result in loss of coverage.
