Don’t Miss Your Chance to Save on Health Plan Premiums
The State Health Plan rewards you financially when you complete wellness-related activities.
Tobacco Attestation Wellness Activity
During Open Enrollment, if you complete the tobacco attestation, you earn a wellness premium credit that will reduce your monthly premium by $60 per month. (The wellness premium credit only applies to the employee-only premium). Learn more about the State Health Plan's Tobacco Cessation Resources.
By taking this simple step, you can save money in 2024! If you do not take action, you will pay a higher premium.

*Even if you completed the tobacco attestation during last year’s Open Enrollment, you must attest again during this year’s Open Enrollment period, which is October 9-27, 2023, to receive the $60 premium credit.
Attestation for Tobacco Users
If you are a tobacco user, in order to receive a wellness premium credit, you must agree to visit a CVS MinuteClinic or your Primary Care Provider and complete at least one tobacco cessation counseling session by November 30, 2023.
Note: You don’t have to wait until Open Enrollment to take action! Complete your tobacco cessation counseling session now to secure your monthly premium credit for 2024.
After your tobacco cessation session, the provider will submit a claim on your behalf. To ensure you receive credit for your visit, you should upload your office visit summary to the “Document Center” located in the eBenefits (Benefitfocus) platform. Make sure to request a copy of your visit summary during your counseling session.
