THE EASIEST WAY TO UNLOCK YOUR 2021 PREMIUM DISCOUNT!
We’re counting down the days before our major July 1 deadline. That’s the last day to call ActiveHealth to schedule a health coaching appointment and be sure you have enough time to complete four appointments by September 30 – the simplest and fastest way to earn a 2021 premium discount.
Employees who earn the 2021 premium discount can apply their savings to any State Personnel health insurance plan offered in 2021. But remember: To earn the discount, covered employees and spouses must complete a premium discount option by Sept. 30.
HAVEN'T STARTED? HERE’S HOW TO CATCH UP.
Health Coaching
If you haven’t started, there’s still time. To take advantage of the hassle-free health coaching option, call ActiveHealth at 855-202-4219 to schedule your first session. Health coaches are available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST by appointment. Each session takes an average of 20-30 minutes. You’ll be scheduled every two to four weeks depending on your needs.
Scheduling your first appointment by July 1 ensures you’ll have enough time to complete this option by the Sept. 30 deadline.
Online Health Education
A second option you still have time to start and complete is online health education. Log in to the ActiveHealth portal to complete health education modules and set health goals. You earn hearts with each completed activity, which increases your ActiveHealth level.
Reach Level 5, which is 9,000 hearts, by Sept. 30. There are limits to how many hearts you can earn in a day, so if you choose this option, start today to make sure you reach Level 5 by the deadline!
ALREADY STARTED? KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!
If you have started a premium discount option and are on track, keep it up! Both employees and spouses on the health plan must complete one of the three options to earn the discount.
There is still time to complete the health coaching and online health education options no matter what your current progress is. But, if you are working on the physical activity option, make sure you are on track by checking the Rewards Center on the ActiveHealth portal. Consider switching to the health coaching or online health education option if you are not on pace to complete 200 days by Sept. 30.
You can verify you have completed your premium discount option in the Rewards Center on the ActiveHealth portal. If you have a spouse on the health plan, don’t forget to verify your spouse has done their part too.

- No. Once you start an option you must continue with that option and fully complete it by September 30, 2020.
- Yes. You can switch to a different option or even work on multiple options at the same time. Just make sure one is fully completed by September 30, 2020.
