For most employees, participation in STATE OF HEALTH is the only way to earn the STATE OF HEALTH insurance premium discount incentive.

Employees who have a documented ADA disability that makes it difficult to complete the action steps through the STATE OF HEALTH portal may request an alternative way to complete the action steps and earn the STATE OF HEALTH insurance premium discount.

The health coaching pathways were developed specifically to help employees to better manage their chronic conditions. Be sure to list your conditions on your STATE OF HEALTH application, so your health coaching team may contact you and discuss your options.  If you do not list any conditions, you will be enrolled in the self-directed pathway.

The self-directed pathway was developed to help employees prevent chronic conditions.  All employees enrolled in the state’s health plans are eligible to participate in the self-directed pathway.

There is not a separate line item on your paycheck for the premium discount.  If you were not previously receiving the discount, your health insurance premium will be $20 less than the previous month (for monthly payroll).  Health insurance premiums for bi-weekly paychecks will be $10 less than the previous paycheck.

If you're unsure whether you've been receiving your incentive, head to the DHR benefits page on this website: DHR SOC Benefits.
