Public employees benefits board (PEBB) wellness incentive program eligibility and procedural requirements.

The board annually determines the design of the PEBB wellness incentive program.
(1) All subscribers, except PEBB subscribers who are enrolled in both medicare Parts A and B, and in the medicare risk pool as described in RCW 41.05.080(3), are eligible to participate in the PEBB wellness incentive program.
(2) Effective January 1, 2020, to receive the PEBB wellness incentive of a reduction to the subscriber's medical plan deductible or a deposit to the subscriber's health savings account for the following plan year, eligible subscribers must complete PEBB wellness incentive program requirements during the current plan year by the following deadline:
(a) For subscribers continuing enrollment in PEBB medical and subscribers enrolling in PEBB medical with an effective date in January through September, the deadline is November 30th; or
(b) For subscribers enrolling in PEBB medical with an effective date in October through December, the deadline is December 31st.
(3) Subscribers who do not complete the requirements according to subsection (2) of this section, except as noted, within the time frame described are not eligible to receive a PEBB wellness incentive the following plan year.
Note:
All eligible subscribers can earn a wellness incentive. Subscribers who cannot complete the wellness incentive program requirements may be able to earn the same incentive by different means. The contracted vendor will work with enrollees (and their physician, if they wish) to define an individual wellness program that provides the opportunity to qualify for the same incentive in light of the enrollee's health status.
(4) A PEBB wellness incentive will be provided only if:
(a) For the wellness incentive described in subsection (2) of this section the subscriber is still eligible to participate in the PEBB wellness incentive program and is enrolled in a PEBB medical plan in the year the incentive applies;
(b) The funding rate provided by the legislature is designed to provide a PEBB wellness incentive program or a PEBB wellness incentive, or both; or
(c) Specific appropriations are provided for wellness incentives.
