Wellness
Overview
Your health — and the health of your family members — is vitally important to us. That’s why we offer you wellness resources to help you focus on achieving and maintaining the best possible state of well-being.
If you’re enrolled in a WinnCompanies medical plan, you and your family are eligible to participate in ahealthyme — a free program designed to help you know more about your health and how to make it better. And, you’ll get rewarded for taking action!

Your medical plan offers self-care resources to care for your mental and emotional health from the comfort of your home.

Employee Contribution Discount
You have the opportunity each quarter to earn Wellness incentives, up to $300 per year ($11.54 per pay period) in discounts on your medical insurance premiums if you and your covered spouse (if applicable) each complete both of the following required Wellness activities:
- Complete a Personal Health Assessment (PHA) at ahealthyme.
- Have a preventive care visit with a primary care physician within the past 12 months.
- You must ask your primary care physician to complete the primary care physician form to verify that your appointment was in the past 12 months. The completed form must be sent to BCBS by the deadline.
When do I receive my discount?
You and your covered spouse must each complete the PHA and preventive care visit to earn the discount. Discounts are awarded quarterly in October, January, April, and again during Open Enrollment in July. All requirements must be completed no later than the fifth of the previous month (9/5, 12/5, 3/5). The biweekly premium discount will begin in the first pay period of the quarter and continue through the plan year.
Please note: You and an eligible spouse must see 2 points in the ahealthyme site by the deadline for the quarter – if you do not see 2 points, you will not receive the discount and will have to wait until the following quarter.
Personal Health Assessment
Taking your health assessment is easy and rewarding. Simply answer questions about eight areas of your health. Once you finish, you’ll see a detailed overview of your health today and recommended tools and programs that will help improve it based on your answers. Get started at ahealthyme.
Please note: Your confidentiality will be protected. No information about you personally will be shared with WinnCompanies. General data will only be used to provide insight to what medical conditions may be effecting the workforce more broadly.
