The Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan is known for delivering competitive, predictable rates backed by Anthem’s large provider network.
But beyond affordability and access, the plan offers hidden advantages that can make a meaningful difference for farm families and small business owners.
One standout feature is its 24/7 virtual care. Through the Sydney Health app, members can connect with doctors anytime, whether working in the field, traveling, or managing livestock at dawn.
Video visits and live chats are available in English and Spanish, providing immediate care without disrupting busy schedules.
Mental health support is also integrated into the plan. Members can schedule confidential virtual visits with licensed therapists, psychologists, or psychiatrists—sometimes within just a few days—helping farm operators and employees access care without leaving the operation.
Another valuable benefit is the Health Rewards Program, designed to encourage preventive care and healthy living. Participants can earn up to $200 per year in gift cards from popular retailers such as Amazon, Home Depot, and Target.
Rewards are given for completing an annual wellness exam, getting a flu shot or cancer screening, participating in step tracking or health coaching, and even logging into the mobile app or updating contact information.
With Anthem’s stop-loss protection, straightforward administration, and a wide network of providers, the Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan remains a smart, flexible choice for agricultural businesses.
By using the virtual care services and rewards program, members can improve their health and receive tangible incentives, adding extra value to an already strong plan.
