The Healthy Incentives^SM program is designed to maintain and improve the health of county employees and their spouse/domestic partners if they're covered under a county medical plan, while simultaneously helping to slow the rise of medical expenses for the county.

Each year, employees and their spouse/domestic partners have the opportunity to take a wellness assessment. A wellness assessment provides a snapshot of your current health risks that are affected by behavior and identifies the potential for future health problems. Employees and their spouse/domestic partners also can participate in an individual action plan which gives support in healthy lifestyle behavior changes.

Participation in the program is voluntary, but your level of participation in the program determines the out-of-pocket expense level for you, your spouse/domestic partner and your children each year. The out-of-pocket level you earn is based solely on participation in the program, not on a specific outcome or the existence of a specific health condition.
