The Monthly Wellness Incentive is a $25 monthly payment awarded to medical plan participants who complete three wellness activities. Staff who receive paychecks twice per month will receive $12.50 in each paycheck. The wellness activities are: the Health Risk Assessment (required) and two of these forms: tobacco attestation, primary care provider attestation, biometric screening attestation, and/or dental check-up/cancer screening attestation.
The incentive encourages people to learn about their health, routinely meet with healthcare providers, and identify steps to improve well-being. In addition, those activities help the university evaluate health and wellness needs of faculty and staff. Recipients of the Wellness Incentive are considered “Wellness Participants.”
Please note: Wellness earnings are taxable.
