We provide comprehensive health insurance coverage to our employees and their families where alternative care is not provided (e.g. government-provided health care). We also believe that preventative care is important. Our Wellness initiatives are designed to provide opportunities for employees to keep themselves fit and healthy, both physically and mentally.
Our Approach
Although our Wellness initiatives are entirely voluntary, we try to make the program as attractive as possible. We believe that participation can improve people’s health and, in the long-term, help us manage the cost of health insurance. Initiatives include:
- A fitness center, health screenings, and discounted influenza vaccinations on our Louisville campus
- The GlobalFit program which allows employees to join a fitness club without enrollment fees or contracts
- Healthy Lifestyles incentive program - available to all Anthem health insurance subscribers, the program gives participants access to smoking cessation programs, nutrition and fitness tracking tools, community forums, and online coaching
- A program providing advice on financial, adoption, childcare, and eldercare issues
- Global Employee Assistance Program administered through Magellan, providing counseling and resources to support employees and their families.
Alcohol-related problems
We recognize that employees may develop alcohol-related problems. While we hold our employees to a high standard, we do not judge them. We want to support employees and any dependents covered by our health insurance program who are coping with these challenges and will do so in the following ways:
- Provide confidential access to either an Employee Assistance Program or other local resources for counseling
- For claims related to alcohol abuse, reimburse employees up to 50% of out-of-pocket medical expenses, otherwise not covered (e.g. deductibles, co-pay, etc.) by the employee’s medical plan, up to $1,500
- Provide time off from work to participate in a treatment program or other counseling as prescribed by the treating professional
- Offer help and support to an employee seeking to end a problem of alcohol abuse or dependency. We believe it is essential to require personal accountability on the part of the employee as well. If the employee remains unable to perform the essential functions of their job due to alcohol abuse or dependency, ultimately they will have to be removed from their position.
