Medical Premium Reduction Opportunity
Living healthy, exercising regularly, and keeping your preventive health screenings up to date is a personal choice, one we think you should be rewarded for. Therefore, beginning with our 2025 Benefits Open Enrollment, VCM will be implementing a premium reduction opportunity for employees participating in a VCM medical plan.
A $50* monthly premium credit will be applied for employees who participated in the Preventive Health 2024 Premium Reduction Program.
A $25* monthly premium credit will be applied for spouses who participated in the Preventive Health 2024 Premium Reduction Program.
Preventive services can prevent disease, identify conditions early and promote good health. The goal of preventive care visits is to identify health risks and conditions that can lead to chronic disease early on, when they are easier to treat.
One of the best things we can do for ourselves and those we care about is to get our checkups and preventive care tests regularly. We look forward to bringing you more information as we continue to enhance our Wellness Program for our employees. Remember to utilize all resources available to you through United Healthcare to maximize you, and your family’s opportunities for good health.
*The yearly premium credit amount if subject to change in subsequent years.
