If you are currently on Cabarrus County’s health insurance plan and were:

• Hired on or before February 28, 2022, you must:
  • Complete the AIM biometric screening and online heath risk assessment.
  • Meet three of four measures of the biometric screening, show improvement over the previous year’s results, OR meet with a health coach two times per quarter (from July 2023 to June 2024) to maintain the $50 monthly discount.
    NOTE: If you are unable to meet the health coaching incentive, you might qualify for another opportunity to earn the same incentive.
    See What Measurements Will Be Taken During Your Screening below.

• Hired between March 1, 2022 and February 28, 2023, you must:
  • Complete the AIM biometric screening and online heath risk assessment. This will establish a baseline for next year. You will automatically receive the $50 monthly health insurance discount for the current AIM program year (July 2023 to June 2024). To maintain the discount moving forward, you must:
    • Complete AIM biometric screenings and online heath risk assessments each year.
    • Meet three of four biometric measures, show improvement over the previous year’s results, OR meet with the health coach twice per quarter.
      See What Measurements Will Be Taken During Your Screening below.

Official Cabarrus County’s new AIM wellness incentive allows employees to earn an additional $150 if you meet certain waist and weight measurements through AIM.

Requirements include meeting one of the following:

• Having a 2023 AIM waist measurement <40″ (male) and < 35″ (female)
• Showing 5% improvement in waist or weight measurement from 2022 AIM data
• Attending health coaching twice per quarter (July 2023 – June 2024). If you are participating in the AIM Health Coaching alternative twice per quarter, you will only need to go one additional time per quarter for the Weight/Waist incentive.

Employees hired between March 1, 2022 and February 28, 2023, or did not participate in a 2022 AIM biometric screening, can still qualify by:

• Having a 2023 AIM waist measurement < 40″ (male) and < 35″ (female)
• Attending health coaching twice per quarter (July 2022 – June 2023). If you are participating in the AIM Health Coaching alternative twice per quarter, you will only need to go one additional time per quarter for the Weight/Waist incentive.

NOTE: Employees hired after February 28, 2023 are not eligible for the incentive this year. This group will be eligible in 2024 after completing a weight/waist measurement during the AIM program in March 2024.

If you have questions about the Waist/Weight incentive, contact Johanna Ray at jrray@cabarruscounty.us.

• Participants need to fast for 7 hours prior to their scheduled screening.
• Take medications as prescribed, but do not eat.
• You may drink water and black coffee.

Screenings include a simple finger stick to obtain a lipid profile and blood glucose, blood pressure check, height and weight check, and waist circumference measurement.

Below are the four measurements that the AIM program looks at.

Remember, you must meet three of the four measurement categories, show improvement over 2021 results, OR meet with a health coach two times per quarter (July 2023 – June 2024) to maintain the $50 monthly discount.

1. Waist circumference: Less than or equal to 40” (male) or less than or equal to 35” (female)
   If your waist circumference is greater than the above measurement but has reduced by 5% from the previous AIM program year, you still meet this category.
2. Blood pressure: Below or equal to 130/85 at the screening
   If your blood pressure is above 130/85 but has reduced by 10/5 mmHg from the previous AIM program year, you still meet this category.
3. Cholesterol ratio: Less than or equal to 5.5 (male) or less than or equal to 4.5 (female) at the screening
   If your cholesterol ratio is greater than 5.5 (male) or 4.5 (female), but has improved by 10% from the previous AIM program year, you still meet this category.
4. Blood glucose: Less than 117 mg/dL
   If your blood glucose is greater than 117 mg/dL, but you score less than 5.7 on a Hemoglobin A1c test, you still meet this category.

NOTE: Venipuncture A1c tests now take place at the time of screening and are only required if your blood glucose is greater than 117 mg/dL. A1c test results will be mailed the first week of April. Please contact Health Coach Crystal Eaker (information below) if you do not receive your results by May 1.
