LSS Wellness Program • Biometric Screenings are offered to all employees (as well as spouses enrolled in an LSS medical plan) for free once per year • Both onsite and offsite screenings are available (partnered with Quest Labs) • Provide information about your overall health, including cholesterol (total, LDL, and HDL), triglycerides, cardiac risk, glucose, blood pressure, height, weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist measurement, and cotinine (tobacco-use). • The MHA (member health assessment) consists of questions about specific lifestyle habits. Your MHA responses are analyzed to show your risk level and generate a Health Index.
Wellness Credits Although all LSS staff are invited to complete a biometric screening & health assessment, employees and spouses on our medical benefits receive discounted premiums for doing so. • As you can see, these wellness credits make a huge impact to the cost of your medical premiums. • Let’s talk next about how you can ensure you receive these wellness credits…
Wellness Credits You’ll start off by automatically receiving the full wellness credit(s) on your medical premiums, but… Once you (and your spouse) are enrolled in an LSS medical plan, you will be responsible for earning the amount of points you desire to ensure you continue receiving the wellness credits you want or need. What does this mean exactly? • If your (+ spouse) medical coverage doesn’t begin until 1/1 2/1, 3/1, 4/1, 5/1, 6/1 or 7/1, you’ll need to earn your points by December in order to ensure your wellness credits continue into the following year • If your (+ spouse) medical coverage doesn’t begin until 8/1, 9/1, 10/1, 11/1, 12/1 or later you have 6 months from your benefits effective date to complete your wellness screenings • To learn much more about how your participation in the LSS wellness program impacts your medical insurance premiums, please watch the video on LSS Medical Benefits here
