How to earn gold?

First, begin by completing the wellness assessment by Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2012.

Go to www.kchealthyincentives.com and follow the directions in your blue letter to log in.

The first thing you see upon logging in is your home page, which shows your current benefit status and your first step on the road to gold. As you move toward gold, this page will reflect your color status and take you directly to what you need to do next.

Then, complete an individual action plan by Friday, June 29, 2012.

This year, there are seven individual action plan options to choose from, which you’ll find on the page with your wellness assessment score. Select from one of the following individual action plans:

• King County Parks Big Backyard Fitness Challenge, Check out the details
  
  
• Group Health’s Living Well with Chronic Conditions , Check out the details
  
  
• WebMD online individual action plan with flexibility and multiple choices
  
  
• Quit for Life® tobacco cessation, which requires five coaching calls
  
  
• Weight Watchers at Work®, which requires you to attend 10 sessions at county worksites—this one is for employees only
  
  
• Live Well Challenge, the same 10-week program as last year but beginning Jan. 30 this year, Check out the details
  
  
• A “No Thanks” option, in which case you will remain silver if you don’t complete an individual action plan by June 29, 2012.

If you want to know more about the requirements of any option, click the “Tell me more” link next to the option you’re interested in. Then, make your selection and click on the “Submit” button at the bottom of the page. After you make your selection, you can return to you Home page to get started on your individual action plan.

As a reminder, journaling and coaching by WebMD Health Coaches are not individual action plans. However, coaching can be used by anyone who would like free, personal health coaching or feels the need for extra support in completing an individual action plan. If you would like to discuss your personal wellness assessment report with a health coach or get assistance in completing an individual action plan, call 1-866-584-6813 (include the ”1” when entering this number).

Earning your family color

If you and your spouse or domestic partner are both covered under a County medical plan, you each need to complete the wellness assessment by Jan. 31, 2012, and you each need to complete an individual action plan by June 29, 2012, to earn gold for your family. If one of you only completes the wellness assessment, your family color will be silver. If one of you does not complete the wellness assessment, your family color will be bronze.
