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:
Health Insurance premiums are increasing by 5% (the first time we have raised the rates in 7 years).
Primary care copays are increasing to $30 and Specialist copays are increasing to $40.
Changes to the Wellness Program for the 2023-2024 Wellness Year. These are for incentives offered in 2025.
You will still need to complete your biometrics and cotinine screening by 10/31/2024.
You will no longer need to meet your Healthy measures for 2025 incentives.
By completing your biometrics and cotinine (or smoking alternative program) you will be eligible for your premium discounts and HRA dollars.
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.

Changes you make during open enrollment are effective on January 1, 2024
This is the start of the new wellness year for the City. Employees will work on completing wellness actions between 11/1/2023 - 10/31/2024. This all aims towards earning wellness incentives offered in 2025.
