Many members have questions about PEIA's Go365 program and PEIA plan changes for the upcoming fiscal year.
The PEIA Finance Board voted in December to scale back some of the proposals opposed by AFT-WV and many participants. Click here to read about the revised plan approved by the Finance Board.
We know there are also concerns about the GO365 program and encourage each PEIA participant to assess how it will affect them personally, as it is not a "one size fits all" program.

PEIA’s Healthy Tomorrow’s program has added a component known as Go365. Go365 adds a new vendor (Humana) and was adopted at the December PEIA Finance Board meeting following the PEIA public hearings. Here are a few facts about the program:
- The basis of the program is still a participant’s healthy lifestyle and bloodwork goals.
- For those who met the Healthy Tomorrows goals for the current plan year, you do not have to submit bloodwork by 5/15/18.
- For those who did not meet the Healthy Tomorrows goals for this year, you must submit bloodwork within range (or have a doctor’s statement stating why you cannot meet the goals) by 5/15/18 or pay a deductible penalty of $500 and an extra $25 per month on your premium for FY19. These penalties would start July 1, 2018. These penalties have always been part of PEIA’s Healthy Tomorrows plan if your goal was not met or there was not a reason supported by a doctor for not meeting the goals.
- Healthy Tomorrows /Go365 applies to active employees and non-Medicare retirees. It is only for policyholders. It is not for retirees over age 65.
- The Go365 program is voluntary until July. Beginning in July 1, 2018 Go365 will be a requirement of the Healthy Tomorrows program.
- The data collected does not go to PEIA ; it is processed through Humana. Humana is currently a vendor for PEIA and is required to meet all HIPAA regulations while handling the data provided to them. HIPAA does not allow them to share your collected information with other vendors or companies.
