Health Engagement Model (HEM)
Learn about your health risks
and save money too!
HEM pays employees an
incentive to learn your health risks and take steps to reduce
those risks when possible.
When you take part in HEM:
- PEBB pays you a taxable incentive of $17.50 per
month, and
- You keep your medical plan deductible low.
If you decide not to take part, you will have a higher
deductible. You will also miss out on a monthly incentive.
HEM supports you and your
provider
Participating in HEM helps you learn about your health risks
so you can take action to reduce them in partnership with
your provider.
New Hires
- To be eligible for HEM, benefits must be
in effect
by Oct. 1.
- New employees hired
after Oct. 1, will
not be eligible to participate in HEM until the following Open Enrollment.
-
HEM is an open enrollment benefit, not a new hire benefit.
-
You will not be penalized and
will receive the same lower deductible as a HEM participant.
- New employees that are not eligible for HEM:
- Are enrolled in the lower deductible plan.
- Will
not receive the $17.50 monthly HEM Incentive.
