Get Healthy – and Save Money – with the Healthy Hound Program!

What is it?

The Healthy Hound Program offers ATU members (and their enrolled spouses) activities to help improve our health. When we complete a Healthy Activity (from October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017), we can avoid the $300 individual surcharge (up to $600 per enrolled couple) in 2018. Note: This surcharge is an increase from last year and is now an individual surcharge that applies to the member and to his or her spouse, if applicable.

 

Who is eligible?

Employees and spouses enrolled in the ATU Preferred or Value Medical Plan.

What are the Healthy Activities we can do to avoid the surcharge?

·         If you have a chronic condition, such as asthma or diabetes, Cigna may contact you to participate in Cigna’s Your Health First program. You must participate in this program to avoid the surcharge.

·         If you don’t have a chronic condition (and aren’t contacted by Cigna to participate in Your Health First), you can:  

o    Enroll in the Quit for Life program for help with quitting tobacco;   

o    Enroll in the Real Weigh program for telephone coaching to lose weight;

o    Get a biometric screening and complete an online health assessment; or

o    Get a preventive health screening.
