What is the monthly Wellness Incentive?

The monthly Wellness Incentive is a $25 monthly payment awarded to medical plan participants who complete three wellness activities on or before November 30th annually. Staff who receive paychecks twice a month will receive $12.50 in each paycheck. The wellness activities are the Health Risk Assessment, and at least two of these three activities:  Biometric Screening, Primary Care Provider Attestation and/or Tobacco Attestation Form. The incentive encourages people to learn about their health and to 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 monthly Wellness Incentive are considered “Wellness Participants”. (Please Note:  Wellness earnings are taxable.)
