STEP 1 Wellness Physical (100 Points)

Visit your Doctor Seeing your doctor each year to have a wellness check up make good sense. This is also a requirement to satisfy the requirements of Wellness Rewards. How to complete your Annual Physical (Wellness Visit): Schedule an appointment with an in-network doctor. You can find a in-network doctor by visiting www.myuhc.com and logging in with your UHC User Name and Password. This is not your District log in. You will then want to click on Find a Doctor. A basic annual check up is all that is required at this time. Again, preventative service should be at no co-payment. |

Biometric Health Screenings One of the first steps toward better health is to know your key measures. Biometric screenings include: BMI (Body Mass Index or Height/Weight), Fasting Total, HDL and LDL cholesterol, Fasting Blood Sugar/Glucose, and Blood Pressure. By knowing your key numbers you can assess your current health status and determine if you are at risk for health problems like heart disease and diabetes. Reviewing results with your doctor can provide personalized follow-up with recommended treatment and wellness tools to improve your health. How to complete a Biometric Health Screening (LabCorp): As part of an annual wellness visit at your doctor’s office, the doctor will measure your height/weight and blood pressure and will send you to a lab for blood work if not taken in their office. *Your biometric screening is part of your preventive care benefits which are covered at 100%. All Blood work must be done through a Lab Corporation of America (LabCorp) in order to count toward the Wellness Rewards program. |
STEP 3 Health Assessment (100 Points)

"HOW TO" log on to the Health Assessment

Health Assessment The Health Assessment is an online interactive tool which allows you to assess your lifestyle habits that are directly linked to health status and health care costs. These lifestyle habits include: activity/exercise, alcohol use, back care, driving, eating, exams, self-care, smoking, stress, weight control, and well-being. The results and recommendations from the health assessment provide immediate feedback to help you improve or maintain your health. It also assesses your risk for some key diseases like heart attack, diabetes, and cancer. Most importantly, your results are completely confidential and created especially for you, based on your answers to basic questions about your health habits. Once you receive the results of your assessment and set personalized wellness goals, you can begin achieving those goals. You’ll feel better about yourself and enjoy the reward of making healthy choices. How to Complete a Health Assessment To complete the Health Assessment, go to www.myuhc.com. Click on “Health & Wellness.” It will take about 15 minutes to complete the 50 questions. Please remember to hit submit when finished.

Tobacco Affidavit (Employees Only)
|
Tobacco Surcharge The surcharge of $50 per month will be added to the medical premium for the full calendar year of 2013 for anyone with a Tobacco User status.* New hires are to complete a Tobacco Affidavit during their New Hire Orientation. Employees will NOT need to update their status unless it changes. You can always view your tobacco status online. Login to Self Service/Benefits/Wellness Rewards and Surcharges page of PeopleSoft. If you need to update your status, you may do so beginning January 1 through August 1, 2012. The status on file as of August 1, 2012 will determine if a tobacco surcharge will apply for 2013. For tobacco users, we encourage you to make 2012 the year to quit, so that you’ll be able to update your status to a non-tobacco user and avoid a surcharge in 2013.
