2023 Wellness Premium Incentive (WPI) – Deadline to participate 9/30
Under the WPI program, employees and spouses enrolled in the St. Johns County Medical Plan are eligible for an insurance premium credit simply by completing an annual wellness exam at a physician’s office between October 1, 2021 and September 30, 2022. Voluntary completion of the wellness exam is automatically reported by Florida Blue, so verification forms are only necessary for new hires and life events. If you have already completed your wellness exam at a physician’s office, you will receive confirmation of participation prior to open enrollment that you have earned the WPI for 2023. If you and/or your spouse are not currently enrolled, but plan to join for 2023 as part of Open Enrollment in October please email StJohnsWell@mbaileygroup.com.

2023 Open Enrollment (OE) - NEW Window
The NEW 2023 OE window will be October 1 – October 15 for eligible employees to enroll for 2023 benefits coverage. Starting this year, enrollment in PlanSource is only required if you would like to make the following changes to your coverage:
- Make a change to health coverage (i.e. switch medical plans)
- Add/remove dependents (i.e. Spouse and/or child(ren))
- Elect or re-elect an FSA or DCA (IRS requires enrollment every year)
- Update your beneficiaries
- Add/remove voluntary or supplemental coverage (i.e. Life Insurance, Short-term Disability, Unum AI, HI, ACC, Cancer Guardian and/or Legal Shield)
If you do not make any changes to your coverage, your existing 2022 coverage (except for FSA/DCA accounts) will roll automatically to the next year effective January 1, 2023.
Mobile Mammograms
Regular mammograms are the best tests doctors have to find breast cancer early. Save time by having an imaging center come to you. You must schedule an appointment by calling Precision Imaging Centers at (904) 996-8100. No physicians order needed, but you must have a physician to receive results. Please bring your medical insurance card to your appointment. Mobile Mammogram Schedule & Details
