Don't Let Your Participants Miss Out on Health Check, Blueprint for Wellness® Incentives

The August 31 deadline to complete the Health Check and Blueprint for Wellness (BFW) is fast approaching, and we need your help to encourage your participants to participate. As a reminder, HealthFlex participants (and spouses, if covered) both need to complete the Health Check to avoid a $250-$500 higher deductible in 2024. Participants can also earn $100 for completing the BFW by the August 31 deadline.

To help promote Health Check, you can share our YouTube and Facebook videos. There are also lots of helpful resources for the Health Check and BFW on the Extranet– log into the Wespath Portal to access the Extranet and click on "HealthFlex and Virgin Pulse Tools & Resources." Participants who have not completed the Health Check will also be receiving reminder e-mails from Wespath and Virgin Pulse in the coming weeks.

Reminder: 2024 HealthFlex Plan Comparison Documents Are Available (with Translations)

The 2024 HealthFlex plan comparison (Spanish, Korean) and the 2024 How Do I Choose? (Spanish, Korean) are available. These documents reflect the new 2024 Health Savings Account (HSA) plan details that we've shared over the past few months, as well as the new IRS HSA limits for 2024. If you have any questions on these documents, please contact a member of the Active Benefits team.

Save the Date: Plan Sponsor Calls in September

Please note: the links and call-in information are the same for both sessions. There are three ways you can join either call:

We hope you can join us for one of the calls. Stay tuned for more information about the agenda.

Annual Election (AE) Resources and Conference-Specific Webinars Available by Request

To help you prepare for this year’s Annual Election, we will be providing a host of resources and presentations to educate your participants on their options. If you need additional support or custom webinars beyond these resources, Wespath can help by offering webinars for your participants that will provide them with plan sponsor-specific details about AE.

A few of the topics plan sponsors have offered in the past include:

We have some slots available to host webinars on other topics that your participants would find beneficial. If you have any questions, or to schedule a webinar if you haven’t done so already, please reach out to Bob Gerlach at rgerlach@wespath.org.
