2 Welcome To Healthy U!! True life is lived, when tiny changes occur Leo Tolstoy We are ready to start FY and we have made some new changes this year in how your Healthy U employee wellness program works! Take a few minutes to read this Guide and see what we have in store for you as we continue to evolve, create and change the culture of health at DMPS!! Healthy U wants you to be as active in our employee wellness program as you want to be, the choice is always yours! Our goal is simply to help you become the healthiest you that you want and can be however that looks to each person! Who Can Participate In Healthy U: All DMPS who work more than 10 hours per week are invited to participate at different levels while earning wellness incentive dollars. Show Me The Money How Much Can I Earn: Here at Healthy U, we always earn our incentive dollars in arrears. What that means is that the Healthy U Wellness incentive dollars you earn this year in FY will help pay your Employee Contribution costs for your FY DMPS Health Insurance! This year you will have an opportunity to earn either $600 or $400 depending on which employee group you belong in. *AFSCME employees can earn $400 and DMPS $600. The activities for ALL employees are the same, the only difference is in the incentive dollar amount you earn! *AFSCME stands for American Federation of State, County and Municipal How Does It Work: Starting with FY , all DMPS employees who are the Primary on the DMPS Health Insurance will have an increased annual employee contribution cost depending on your employee group. All AFSCME employees are $400 and ALL other DMPS employees are $600. The good news is, you are able to earn that ENTIRE dollar amount back by your individual participation in Healthy U Wellness Activities!!! You have the opportunity to have your Employee Contribution level range from $0-$600 depending on what you choose to do!! It s a Win/Win!!!
