Taking Advantage of Wellness Dividends
The company I work for offers a chance to reduce our annual heath premiums by $100 per family member with a maximum of $300. Basically we have to earn 100 point via various activities and log them into a website by the end of August. In the past I have been the only one to take advantage of this program.
My goal for this year is to get the whole family involved. The $300 in savings works out to $25 per month that could go towards our debt. The program is quite simple and there are ample opportunities available. Here is a scattering:
- Complete Health Questionnaire: 50 points
- Complete Nutrition Improvement Program: 30 points
- Complete the Weight Management Program: 30 points
- Complete the Stress Management Program: 30 points
- Complete the Exercise Program: 30 points
There are more option, and I have already totaled 70 points. I plan on finishing the rest through the exercise program. Soon, I will have my wife have her part completed, and get our 6 year old started on hers. For those who have a program like this, I highly recommended that you participate. It is a shame that we have been letting this money saving opportunity slide by, but not this year!
