Save $125 on your medical deductibles

The states SmartHealth program started last year.

If you participated in 2014 and youre a member at
a state agency or institution of higher education,
you know the SmartHealth program rewards you with
a $125 wellness incentive for participating in healthy
activities. If you met those requirements, youll save $125 on your
deductible this year. Taking part this year can save you $125
next year, too.

SmartHealth has some major changes in 2015.

Its important that members know about these changes so they
meet the requirements and/or earn the $125 deductible savings
next year, 2016.

Some basics about SmartHealth 2015
