We are pleased to offer the Healthy Miami Premium Discount Program to all eligible employees and their spouses who are covered under Miami's health plan. By engaging in this voluntary program and completing designated healthy activities, you have the opportunity to lower your premium expenses by as much as $720 annually.
Spouses who are covered under your health plan are also welcome to participate in the program. The total savings amount is determined by the combined efforts of both you and your spouse, potentially resulting in savings of up to $1440.
We encourage you to take advantage of this program as a way to promote overall health and well-being while also enjoying the financial benefits it offers. Thank you for your commitment to a healthier lifestyle.
The steps you are required to complete in a calendar year to receive premium discounts depend on your age and gender.
Individuals that cannot complete the base steps may have their physician submit a Medical Exemption to qualify for a portion of the premium discount. Similarly, the Alternate Proof of Care form can be used if a step has been completed outside of the Miami health plan. All forms can be found in your Healthy Miami account. Please contact the Benefits office at 513-529-3926 if you have any questions regarding these forms.
Please note: We base our frequency of screenings on recommendations by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Complete the program steps between January 1 and November 15 in a calendar year and qualify for the premium discount for the following calendar year.
The application of the discount varies based on when you and/or a spouse enroll in health coverage.
If your spouse is covered under your health plan, they can also voluntarily participate in the program. Combined participation determines your total savings. For example, if you both complete all steps, you will actually save $1,440.
The Healthy Miami deductions will show on your paycheck per person (you and/or spouse) as listed below:
When you complete all of the Healthy Miami Steps, no additional amount will appear on your check as an additional amount to your medical premium.
