State Health Plan Comprehensive Wellness
Initiative Overview
In April 2009, Senate Bill 287 became law (Session Law 2009-16).
Contained in the Law is a section about the Comprehensive Wellness
Initiative (CWI) for members of the State Health Plan for Teachers and
State Employees (Plan). This initiative was developed to encourage Plan
members to make healthier lifestyle choices. It also provides supports
to assist Plan members to quit using tobacco and maintain a healthy
weight.
Starting July 1, 2010, members will be enrolled in the
70/30 Basic Plan unless they meet the requirements for enrollment in
the 80/20 Standard Plan, based on compliance with the tobacco cessation
component. A weight management component will be added to the
requirements for the 80/20 Standard Plan beginning July 1,
2011. The CWI applies to active employees, retirees, COBRA
participants and dependents whose primary health coverage is provided
by the Plan. The CWI does not apply to members with Medicare as their
primary coverage.
