Deadline to start health coaching is July 1. Get started today so you can earn your 2023 health insurance premium discount!

The State Personnel Department recently shared some alarming stats: as of last month, only 8.1% of covered state employees and spouses had completed an activity to earn their 2023 health premium discount—and 72.4% of staff haven’t started yet!

Knowing how significant of a discount on health insurance premiums we’re all offered on our state of Indiana health plan, 72.4% seems unusually high.
That’s why FSSA wants to make sure you have every tool you need to get started on individual health coaching, one of the premium discount activity options, before the July 1 to begin this program. There is also a group coaching option that has a start deadline of Aug. 15.

If you can say yes to any of the following statements, health coaching might be right for you:

• I imagine a better future for myself, but I’m not sure where to start.
• I can identify ways to improve my health.
• I want to take more control over my health.
• Dieting doesn’t seem to work for me.
• I’m physically active, but I’m ready to set new goals.
• I want to build a healthy lifestyle for my family and my kids.
• I could really benefit from more accountability.
• I feel stuck in self-defeating patterns.
• I could use a break on my health insurance costs.
• I like to save money!

If any of these ring true for you, make time today to call ActiveHealth at 855-202-4219 and set up your first appointment with a coach. Making that phone call takes courage, but I can confidently promise you that you, like many employees, will very likely find that taking advantage of medical expertise at no cost to you can have tremendous impacts on your wellbeing.
