Employee Wellness Program

"We encourage and support employees and families to become champions in
   their physical and mental wellness, and achieve work/life balance."

 - Union County Wellness Committee 

At Union County, we believe the health and wellness of our employees and their families is a top priority. To demonstrate this commitment to well-being, all employees and their spouses are invited to participate in the CEBCO Wellness Program and engage in healthy lifestyle programming activities and events. Union County employees (and enrolled spouses) who successfully completed the CEBCO Wellness Program will typically be eligible for a Wellness Incentive in the form of a premium reduction for medical insurance during the upcoming calendar year. 

NOTE: Premium reductions are not guaranteed. They are considered discretionary and are authorized on an annual basis by the Union County Commissioners. Savings will vary depending on which plan tier has been elected. Eligibility for the wellness incentive will be verified following the Open Enrollment period. Participation in the Union County Wellness Program is voluntary for all employees and covered spouses in the CEBCO/Anthem health insurance plan.

Union County's Wellness Program

The current wellness program began August 15, 2023 and ends on August 14, 2024. Wellness activities must be completed within this time period to count towards completion. Employees and covered spouses in the Anthem health insurance program can participate in the CEBCO Wellness Program and must track and manage completion of wellness program activities and requirements in their Anthem.com member account. See details below: 

  • Anthem will administer a rewards program that incentivizes completion of various wellness activities. Rewards will be tracked online at Anthem.com and can be earned for completing certain preventive care activities (annual wellness exam, flu shot, screenings), completion of condition management programs (SWORD Virtual Physical Care program, Condition Care), and completing other wellness/digital activities (logging in to Anthem.com, downloading your ID card, taking a Health Assessment). 
  • A member’s unique Anthem account will serve as their individualized hub for wellness information and program rewards. Anthem is still working on loading 2023 claims data in the Sydney Health app and Anthem.com. We apologize for the delay and appreciate everyone's patience.
  • When functionality is fully working, covered members will automatically receive credit for any claims-based service they’ve received since the program start date of 8/15/23 (or from the effective date of their insurance, whichever date comes first), as well as completion of a qualifying condition management or digital activity that was completed. However, rewards will not appear in their Anthem account until January 2024 when the Anthem website is fully functional for our group.
  • Digital activities can be completed online at Anthem.com. Once rewards are earned, they can be redeemed for digital gift cards at 8 retailers, including Mastercard, Apple, Amazon, Gap, The Home Depot, Target, TJ Maxx and UBER. Digital activities and rewards will not be fully functional until January 2024. 
  • There is no need to self-report wellness activities or submit forms to verify completion of wellness activities.
  • Employees and their spouse can each earn a total of $200 in Anthem rewards for completing various activities.
