4 How Do We Manage Health? Focus on prevention, early detection and management of risk factors that are major causes of chronic illness and death Heart disease is the #1 health problem locally, regionally and nationally This year we are helping our employees know your numbers: your own risk factors for developing heart disease

5 You and Your Doctor A primary care doctor helps you prevent, detect and treat risk factors for heart disease: – High Body Mass Index – High Blood Pressure – High Cholesterol – Diabetes or Pre-Diabetes – Smoking

6 Healthy Equation This year, we are launching a new initiative for our adult health plan members. It focuses on the importance of our members: 1)building a relationship with a primary care physician and 2)getting screened for conditions that increase the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. Changes Effective July 1, 2014

7 Healthy Equation  See your doctor and get your cholesterol and diabetes screenings in calendar year 2014 (Jan. 1 – Dec. 31, 2014)  If all three components aren’t completed by Dec. 31, 2014, members will have a $30 per pay surcharge, in effect from Jan. 30, 2015 through June 30, 2015.  Applies to employees with our medical plan and their covered spouses; it does not apply to children.

8 8 What’s the Healthy Equation?

9 Any time during calendar year 2014: many have done it already! Visit does NOT have to be a physical or “check-up” Screening is ordered by your primary care doctor and results go to that doctor Screening can be done before, during or after the visit; it’s up to you and your doctor to decide No reporting needed by doctor or patient No primary care doctor? We’ll help find you one. 9 Healthy Equation
