New Benefits for 2024: We are adding 4 new Voluntary Benefits:

Regarding Wellness Premium Incentives - Discount Medical Deductions:

  • Our Wellness Administrator is still processing wellness actions submitted up until 10/31/2023. We will get final reporting and account for any wellness discount earned for 2024 in your benefits as we process Open Enrollment.
  • New Hires hired after 11/2/2023, you are grandfathered for wellness incentives. We will add the wellness incentive to your benefits upon processing. You are grandfathered to earn this for the 2024 calendar year.
  • All other employees, check your www.assethealth.com/Frisco portal to track incentive status. You will know if you earned the discount towards your medical deductions for 2024 based on the incentives displayed.

Health Plan Changes for 2024:

  1. Health Insurance premiums are increasing by 5% (the first time we have raised the rates in 7 years).
  2. Primary care copays are increasing to $30 and Specialist copays are increasing to $40.
  3. Cigna health ID cards will be online for 2024: Have your ID card handy 
  4. Changes to the Wellness Program for the 2023-2024 Wellness Year. These are for incentives offered in 2025.
    1. You will still need to complete your biometrics and cotinine screening by 10/31/2024.
    2. You will no longer need to meet your Healthy measures for 2025 incentives.
    3. By completing your biometrics and cotinine (or smoking alternative program) you will be eligible for your premium discounts and HRA dollars.
    4. The Employee Wellness Clinic will manage our Wellness Program going forward, not Asset Health starting 11/1/2023 forward. Asset Health will maintain your wellness portal for you to download any historical data and biometrics for your own record until the end of January 2024.

Keep In Mind for 2024:

  • Health Reimbursement dollars earned from the recent Wellness Program  will post to your Cigna HRA account on January 1, 2024
  • All Full-time employees have access to the EWC and all medical enrolled dependents can utilize the EWC (no action required)
  • Employee Wellness Center (EWC) Full-time employees – if you would like your NON-medical enrolled (City medical plan) eligible dependents to be able to utilize the Employee Wellness Center, you must go into ESS and enroll your dependents in the benefit option EWC
  • Changes you make during open enrollment are effective on January 1, 2024
