Health Engagement Model

Health Assessments

HEM enrollment is closed. No corrections, No exceptions!
  • PEBB will receive a file from each carrier (Kaiser, Moda, Providence) after November 1, that lets PEBB know if the member completed their Health Assessment.
    • If PEBB is told by the carrier that you did not complete your Health Assessment, but you have a copy of your Certificate of Completion, you may file an Appeal.
      • Please visit the Forms page to find the Appeal Form. You MUST have a copy of your HEM Certificate of Completion to attach to your Appeal Form.
  • New employees hired after October 1, will not be eligible to participate in HEM until the following Open Enrollment (2021).
    • New employees that are not eligible for HEM will not be placed in the higher deductible plan, but will not receive the $17.50 HEM Incentive.

Questions?

Answer:

​Health actions are two actions you, as a HEM participant, choose and do for better health. You agree to doing two health actions when you signed up for the HEM Incentive Program and that you will complete them by the next Open Enrollment. (October 1-31)

Answer:

​You choose your own health actions. Pick two that meet your personal health goals.

Answer:

​No. You don't have to track your health actions.

Answer:

​No. You don't have to report your health actions - to PEBB or anyone else. When you enroll during the next Open Enrollment, you will be asked if you completed two health actions as part of HEM participation; you answer yes or no.

Answer:

As a life style choice? Absolutely! As a requirement of the PEBB Health Engagement Model? No. HEM is only for employees.​

Answer:

No, PEBB may need a copy of your Certificate of Completion, but PEBB does not see, ask for, or store any information you enter into your Health Assessment.​

Answer:

Remember, HEM program has no required health actions. The following are only examples of health actions. Members may choose based on their own health needs!
