PEBB ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES: It’s April 1, Now What Do You Do?

Starting today and going through May 15, employees are required to log-on to their Health Care Authority’s “My Account” to answer questions regarding Premium Surcharges and a Wellness Incentive. Click here for instructions on how to register for “My Account” if you have not done so already.

Once logged in to the HCA “My Account,” employees will be prompted to answer the following:

Premium Surcharges

If you have a spouse or domestic partner on your coverage, does the spouse or domestic partner coverage surcharge apply?
- This portion will ask you to complete the Spousal Plan Supplemental Questionnaire and, if necessary, the Spousal Plan Calculator.
If you are enrolled in medical coverage, have you or your covered family members (if applicable) used tobacco products in the last two months?

SmartHealth Wellness Incentive

Can you confirm whether you have:

Chosen a primary care provider
Completed your PEBB medical plan’s health assessment
Started a wellness program activity approved by PEBB

Depending on your responses, you will be informed if you will be assessed a premium charge(s), or if you are eligible for the wellness incentive.

Additional information about the Surcharges and SmartHealth Wellness Incentive can be found at www.hrs.wsu.edu/Benefits. Questions can be directed to Human Resource Services at (509)335-4521 or hrs@wsu.edu.
