Healthy Futures - What To Do Ideas for Wellness Actions

Step 1 - Agree to Participate

by March 31, 2014

Log into the MyOEBB system by March 31, 2014 and make sure your Healthy Futures election is set to "Yes! I want to participate!" If you cover a spouse/partner on your medical plan, make sure their election is also set to "Yes". If one of you participates but the other doesn't, your family as a whole will not have satisfied the requirements of the Healthy Futures program and no reward will be received.

Step 2 - Complete a Health Assessment
by May 31, 2014
Log into your medical carrier's website (Moda Health or Kaiser Permanente) and complete a confidential online health assessment. If you cover a spouse/partner on your medical plan, make sure they also complete their own individual health assessment. If one of you participates but the other doesn't, your family as a whole will not have satisfied the requirements of the Healthy Futures program and no reward will be received.
 
Each carrier has provided instructions to help walk you through the process:

Step 3 - Take two healthy actions
by August 15, 2014
The only requirements about what actions to take are:
1) If your health assessment indicates that weight is a health risk, one of your actions must be aimed at reducing that risk.
2) If your health assessment indicates that tobacco use is a health risk, one of your actions must be aimed at reducing that risk.
The options are limitless! (See the column to the right for some great suggestions.) Choose an activity that interests/challenges you and addresses your personal health risks. If you don't exercise much, try scheduling a 15 - 30 minute walk each day. If you already exercise regularly, set a goal that stretches you to new achievements. Or if your stress level is high, try some new relaxing techniques. Each person's comfort zone is different, so just try to step slightly out of yours. You might be amazed by how a small change can improve your life! If you cover a spouse/partner on your medical plan, make sure they also take two actions to address their personal health risks. If one of you participates but the other doesn't, your family as a whole will not have satisfied the requirements of the Healthy Futures program and no reward will be received.
