When you’re running a farm or small business, health plan decisions usually come down to ease of access and cost. And the Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan delivers with competitive, predictable rates backed by the strength of Anthem. But for some members, it can be the lesser-known features of the plan that really make a difference.

If you haven’t looked into the virtual care options and rewards program built into the plan, you could be missing out on valuable tools that improve both your health and your bottom line.

24/7 care

Whether you’re in the field, on the road, or managing livestock at dawn, we know getting access to care on your schedule can be a challenge. With the Sydney Health app, you and your employees can have video visits or chats with doctors 24/7, in English or Spanish.

Mental health support is also available. Through the app, members can schedule virtual visits with a licensed therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist (sometimes in as little as four days). That means accessible, confidential support for the whole team without taking time away from the operation.

Earn rewards while building healthy habits

Another powerful (and often underused) benefit available is the Health Rewards Program. Designed to encourage preventive care and wellness, this program lets each participant earn up to $200 per year in gift cards from retailers like Amazon, Home Depot and Target. Rewards are earned for things like:

• Getting an annual wellness exam.
• Completing a flu shot or cancer screening.
• Participating in step tracking or health coaching.
• Even logging into the mobile app or updating your contact info.

With access to one of the nation’s largest provider networks, Anthem’s stop-loss protection, and easy plan administration, the Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan is a smart choice for your agricultural businesses. But the hidden value lies in taking advantage of these extra tools that meet you where you are and reward you for taking care of yourself!
