HealthQuest Minimum Requirements and Rewards for 2020

On Tuesday, June 16, the Health Care Commission (HCC) voted to reduce the number of HealthQuest credits required for eligible members enrolled in the State Employee Health Plan to receive the 2021 premium incentive discount. The credit requirement was reduced from 40 points to 20 points, due to the exceptional circumstances created by COVID-19.

In addition, the HSA/HRA Dollars awarded for each HealthQuest credit completed has been increased from $10 to $20 per credit, up to the maximum of $500 per member. This change applies only to the 2020 plan year.

Plan A participants will earn their 2021 premium incentive discount by completing 20 credits in 2020.
Plans C, J, N and Q participants will earn their 2021 premium incentive discount by completing 20 credits in 2020 AND will receive $20 in HSA/HRA Dollars for each HealthQuest credit completed, up to the maximum of $500 per member.

For HealthQuest credits already completed, Active Employees and Spouses will see the additional HSA/HRA Dollars sent to their NueSynergy HSA/HRA accounts by August 1.
For University Employees on Summer leave, the additional HSA/HRA Dollars for HealthQuest credits already completed will be reflected on the first paycheck upon return in the Fall semester.
