Harvey County approves 2027 Healthy Harvey Rewards program with $540 employee premium discount
Summary
The Harvey County Board approved the 2027 Healthy Harvey Rewards Program, a voluntary employee wellness incentive running Sept. 16, 2025–Sept. 15, 2026 that provides a $540 insurance premium discount for participating employees and $240 for participating spouses.
Harvey County commissioners on Aug. 19 approved the 2027 Healthy Harvey Rewards Program, a voluntary employee-wellness incentive that runs Sept. 16, 2025, through Sept. 15, 2026. The program, recommended by the County Employee Wellness Team, offers a $540 annual premium discount for each participating employee and an additional $240 discount for each participating spouse.
Skip Cowan and Raquel Langley, representatives of the employee wellness team, explained the points-and-verification schedule the team proposed with no substantive changes from the prior year. The program requires participants to accrue 100 points during the rewards year; items included in the schedule range from a mandatory annual physical with biometrics (20 points) to fitness, prevention, and education activities. County Administrator Kevin Frymire and staff will administer verification as outlined in the program materials. Commissioner Terry Scott moved to approve the 2027 Healthy Harvey Rewards Program; Becky Reimer seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The program reduces employee health-premium costs when participants complete verified activities. Human-resources verification instructions identify the employee or spouse, require provider or program signatures where applicable, and instruct participants to submit forms to county staff by the program deadline. The board did not alter the point schedule at the meeting and directed staff to implement the program as presented.
