WELLBEING INITIATIVES – WELLBEING IS A PRIORITY

Continuing in 2015 - Pharmacy Copay Waiver Incentive Program We are pleased to continue the Wellbeing Program Pharmacy Copay Waiver Program for members and spouses/domestic partners enrolled in the County’s health plan. The Rx copay waiver program will run through 12/31/15 (or through plan termination date, if sooner) and will cover generic and formulary medications for the following disease states:

• Asthma • Chronic Kidney Disease• Cardiovascular Disease (CAD, COPD, CHF, Heart Failure,

Hypertension) • Diabetes

Note: Only drugs that are classified in the drug therapeutic class for the eligible disease state will be covered.

Eligibility Criteria: • Enroll in the Humana Vitality online wellness program• Complete the free Vitality Check (finger stick screening for cholesterol, blood sugar)• Complete the online Vitality Health Risk Assessment• Participate in Disease Management Coaching through Humana (if applicable)

To receive the Rx copay waiver, members will submit a form to Humana’s on-site representatives who will verify completion of the eligibility criteria and, with the member’s consent will release the member’s name and disease state(s) to Employee Benefit Services who will then request an Rx copay override for the applicable prescription drug(s) through our Pharmacy Benefit Manager, Catamaran Rx.

Disease Management Programs Managing chronic, long term diseases by following established medical protocols can keep the disease under control and help the member live a more healthy and productive life. The Disease Management Program managed by Humana will focus on several disease states in 2015 including:

• Asthma • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)• Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) • Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)• Diabetes • Hypertension

Participants will receive one-on-one coaching and education from Humana’s Disease Management nurses and will be eligible for the Rx copay waiver and rewards based on compliance with following the established protocols for each disease state. Example: Diabetic care is not just monitoring blood sugar levels. It is recommended that patients have an annual exam, foot exam, dental exam, vision exam, along with semi-annual AIC blood tests.

Tobacco Cessation Pharmacy Waiver The County will continue to waive the copay or cost for prescription or Over-the-Counter smoking cessation products up to the plan cost maximum of $500 per person per year. Over-the-Counter products (Nicorette gum, Nicoderm patches, etc.) require a prescription to be eligible for coverage through the pharmacy plan.

I also understand that payments are due on the 1st of each month and that failure to remit payments within the grace period specified under federal COBRA legislation will result in termination of coverage.
