(A) While the Go365 Wellness Program will now be incorporated directly into the Medical Plan and continues to remain voluntary, the following shall be put in place for all benefit-eligible employees, elected officials, and retirees obtaining medical benefits from the county in order to establish methods to contribute to cost saving initiatives effective January 1, 2019, and forward.
(1) The Board of Commissioners hereby establish that Medical Plan premiums paid to the county by employees, elected officials, and retirees (described further as participants) will remain in place at the 2018 rates.
(2) The Board of Commissioners hereby establish that participants on the medical plan who may achieve registration on the Go365 Program, complete the health risk assessment, and participate in a biomedical heath screening by March 31, 2010, will not be charged a surcharge that will be effective as of April 1, 2019.
(3) The Board of Commissioners hereby establish that participants on the medical plan that achieve silver status in the Go365 Program through June 30, 2019, will not be charged an additional surcharge that will be effective July 1, 2019.
(4) The Board of Commissioners establish that participants on the Medical Plan that do not reach the established goals in the Go365 Program by March 31, 2019, and June 30, 2019, respectively, will experience a surcharge as follows:
(a) Effective April 1, 2019, those participants who are enrolled in the County Medical Plan that do not complete online registration on the Go365 portal, complete the online health risk assessment, and the biomedical screening by March 31, 2019, a surcharge of $15 per participant with employee-only medical coverage, and $25 for employee/spouse/child(ren)/family coverage will be added to the bi-weekly cost of continued participation on the County Medical Plan; and
(b) In addition to the foregoing, effective July 1, 2019 those participants whom are enrolled in the County Medical Plan that have not attained the overall status of silver in the Go365 Program, a surcharge of $30 per participant with employee-only medical coverage, and $50 for employee/spouse/child(ren)/family coverage will be added to the bi-weekly cost of continued participation on the County Medical Plan.
(5) Participants who fail to attain the level of silver by July 1, 2019 will pay the surcharge until the end of the third quarter of 2019, and any that have met that goal will have his, her, or their surcharge lifted for the remainder of the 2019 Plan year;
(6) The Board of Commissioners also establish that for new full-time eligible participants hired after January 1, 2019, and beyond, those participants will be granted the same amount of time (three and six full calendar months after the effective date of medical insurance) to achieve the same goals as listed above in the Go365 Wellness Program;
(7) The Board of Commissioners establish that the intent of the Total Health Medical Plan and Go365 Wellness Program is to continue to build on the health and wellness of Plan participants, to include family members. The premium rates the county pays to Humana will be directly determined based on participation by those on the Medical Plan. Participants on the Medical Plan will need to be engaged in their health and wellness in order for the county to avoid increased premiums that could go into effect with the 2020 Plan year. The Board of Commissioners also verify that clue to the fully-insured option the county, as an employer, does not receive, or has access to, any Plan participant’s health/disability or genetic related information and will not be shared with the county for any purpose by Humana outside of participation levels by those on the Medical Plan.
(B) County employees’ spouses shall be ineligible for insurance coverage by the county government if the spouse is eligible for coverage by his or her employer.
