New Employee Wellness Program
The City of Frisco provides the opportunity for new hires to earn wellness incentives through the City’s Wellness Program. If you are a new hire with the City and you enroll in one of the City’s medical plans, you are eligible to participate in the Wellness Program. By participating in the wellness program, you can lower the rate you pay for medical premiums. You can also earn dollars for your Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) that can be used to pay for medical, dental, pharmacy, and vision expenses not covered by insurance.
For New Employees Hired After 9/2/2023:
Your benefits are beginning within the new wellness year (11/1/2023 forward). More information about the new hire wellness program will be published here. For the time being, if you enroll in the medical Plan with the City, you will be grandfathered for the premium wellness incentives for 2023 and 2024.
If you test negative for Cotinine (tobacco) during your pre-employment drug screening, then you will earn the full grandfathered premium wellness incentive (Healthy Measures & Tobacco-Free) at $65.00 per paycheck.
If you test positive for Cotinine (tobacco) during your pre-employment drug screening, then you will earn the grandfathered premium wellness incentive (Healthy Measures) at $20.00 per paycheck.
- You can earn the tobacco-free incentive by completing 4-week of Cigna's Tobacco Cessation coaching program. You will need to wait until your benefits are effective with the City to have access to Cigna's coaching program.
