Healthy Miami

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.

Program Steps

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.

When You and/or Spouse Enroll in Miami's Health Insurance

The application of the discount varies based on when you and/or a spouse enroll in health coverage.

  • Enroll between January 1 and June 1
    • Receive discount for current year
    • Complete the program steps in the current year for the discount in the following year.
  • Enroll between July 1 and December 1
    • Receive discount for the remainder of the current year and the following year
    • Complete the program steps in the following year

How Much You Can Save

  • $180 per year: Complete required base steps for your age group without completing the Tobacco-Free step
  • $540 per year: Complete the Tobacco-Free Step only
  • $720 per year: Complete all required steps for your age group

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.
