OC HEALTHY STEPS 2021
The OC Healthy Steps (OCHS) program officially kicked off on Monday, May 17, 2021 and ends Friday, August 20, 2021. Employees have the opportunity to participate to earn the 2022 OCHS Wellness Credit (five percent off your 2022 insurance premium), except for: • Employees who have waived County health coverage or are in the Sharewell PPO plan are exempt from receiving the credit because they do not have a health premium. • Employees hired on or after May 1, 2021 and employees on a leave of absence as of May 1, 2021 will receive the Wellness Credit automatically until the next OCHS Period. • The dependent married to an employee that is enrolled in the Employee Married to Employee program. Only the subscriber needs to participate if they wish to receive the Wellness Credit. • AOCDS employees who are not currently enrolled in the County’s medical are not eligible for the OCHS program. The following activities must be completed before August 20, 2021 to earn the 2022 OCHS Wellness Credit: STEP 1. Complete the online Health Risk Assessment (HRA) STEP 2. Complete the online Non-Smoking Attestation (NSA) even if you are not a smoker or are trying to quit). This is only found under the Wellness Credit tab; it is not the questions in the HRA section. Confirm you completed both the HRA and NSA by viewing the Wellness Credit tab on the StayWell portal. If both activities are listed under “completed” with a green checkmark you are done. *NOTE - The County has waived the biometric screening step requirement again for this year, to allow health care resources to remain focused on fighting the COVID-19 crisis. ACCESSING THE PORTAL: Each step can be completed from your home or work computer by visiting www.ochsstaywell.com, or by using the My StayWell App on a mobile device. *NOTE - The NSA is not available on all mobile web browsers.
