$170 in Real $$ for Federal Employees and Retirees, too!

Hey, Y'all!

If you are not a federal employee or retiree, just go back to watching the cherry blossoms on tv.  On the other hand, if you are a federal employee or a retired federal employee, this deal is just for you.  

Hopefully, you have already received a similar email (see mine below) from the Federal Employee Program: Blue Cross/Blue Shield (FEP Blue).  If not, this could be because you have not registered online and joined the Wellness Rewards Program.  There is $290 waiting for you and your spouse (or partner).  All you have to do is answer some wellness questions and set up a few health goals.  That's it!  I have done this in the past and used the money (issued on a VISA card) to pay that annoying extra few copay dollars for medication or for meds not covered by insurance; copays at the doctor's office; even some non-prescription medication and supplies.  

Two years ago, I got $225 for me and $225 for my husband.  He is the federal retiree and I am on his insurance.  As far as I know, there is no wellness incentive for other Blue Cross-Blue Shield  insurance programs...just for federal employees and retirees.  Call your employee health advisor to see if your insurance offers similar programs.

So, go to this link <Wellness Incentive Program> and get working on that FREE money card for $170!!! Once you do the health assessment, you can get an additional $120 by completing three health goals @ $40 each. That's $290 per person for doing the healthy stuff you should be doing anyway!  You have until the end of 2018 to complete the program and goals and then do it all over again the very next year.

My goals:
  • Start walking at least a mile everyday...as soon as the temps warm up.  Old joints don't do well in cold temps.
  • Lose 15 pounds by my anniversary July 26, 2018...about 3 pounds per month or 3/4 pound per week.
  • Sleep 8 to 9 hours per day.
  • In bed...under the covers by midnight each night.
  • Drink 64 ounces of water daily.
  • Eat three meals daily + three pcs of fruit
  • No food after 8 PM
  • Get my annual wellness check up
Those are my health goals.  Write back and share some of yours with me.  I promise not to share your name or your goals with anyone else...unless you say it is okay.  Only then will I share the goal but I will never share your name...even with your permission.

Enjoy the rest of your evening!
