GEHA insurance company announced June 29 that federal employees enrolled in its medical plans will be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccination incentive program starting July 1, as part of the organization’s efforts to promote a healthy federal workforce.
GEHA plan members who are 18 and older and have not already reached their annual wellness program reward limit will receive $75 to spend on qualified medical expenses, such as copays and drug costs, after providing proof of vaccination.
Employees who are near their annual wellness program reward limit will receive whatever amount below $75 will get them to reach the maximum.
Members must get their vaccine on or before July 31 of this year to be eligible and may submit that proof until the end of 2021. Members who have already received their vaccinations are eligible and must simply submit proof of doing so.
