Team members with the Baptist BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) insurance plan can earn up to $300 in rewards for working toward a healthier lifestyle and avoid an $80 monthly tobacco surcharge on their medical insurance plan.

Rewards for Working Toward a Healthier Lifestyle

Here’s how to receive your reward, which you can use to purchase gift cards from a “gift card mall” with more than 200 options.

  • Complete an annual wellness visit with a primary care provider – $100
  • Demonstrate a body mass index (BMI) between 18.5­­ and 24.9 – $100
  • Show a blood glucose of 99 or less – $50

How to Receive Rewards and Avoid the Tobacco Surcharge

Complete the Health Risk Questionnaire on the inHealth Wellbeing App web portal and make an appointment with your primary care provider for your biometric screening between July 1 and Nov. 11, 2022. Your biometric screening includes a tobacco/nicotine status test (primary holder only; not spouse or dependents). A tobacco/nicotine-only test will not be accepted.

If you test positive or indicate that you use tobacco and/or nicotine and want to avoid the $80 monthly tobacco surcharge, you must complete the virtual six-week BestHealth Tobacco Cessation Course between July 1 and Nov. 11, 2022. The BCBS Online Tobacco Cessation Course is NOT an option. Enroll in the BestHealth Tobacco Cessation Course by clicking here.
