AActive employees and their covered spouses are eligible for the incentives.

Employees and covered spouses should complete the following two steps:

• Step 1: Complete your Annual Physical or OB/GYN Exam between February 1, 2023 – January 31, 2024.
• Step 2: Your online health assessment at MyCigna.com between May 1, 2023 - March 8, 2024.
• Bonus Round: Wellness Engagement Options are not required for the medical rate discount but offer additional incentives and rewards.

Remember that each individual must complete Step 1 and Step 2. The health assessment must be completed on their own MyCigna.com account.

Employees should not attempt to complete their covered spouse's health assessment on their personal (employee) account.

Employees can earn a $600 medical rate discount for completing their annual physical and online Health Assessment. Covered spouses who complete an annual physical and online Health Assessment save an additional $300. This is a combined annual savings of $900 toward medical rate premiums.

Employees can receive $65 in Healthy Awards funds for completing a Bonus Round Wellness Engagement Option. Spouses can receive $32.50 in Healthy Awards funds for also completing a Bonus Round Wellness Engagement Option. Healthy Awards funds can be used towards pharmacy costs, medical copays and dental copays. Bonus Round Wellness Engagement Options may also have other incentives as well such as a $50 gift card for completing Option B Health Coaching.

No. The online Health Assessment is a prerequisite to Wellness participation. If you do not complete the Health Assessment by March 8, 2024, you are not eligible to earn a medical rate discount.

Employees with benefits effective on or after September 1, 2023 are exempt from taking the online health assessment and will be eligible for the annual discounted rates automatically.

We want to reward you for your proactive wellness activities, like getting your annual exam, so we’ve included dates that go back to February 1, 2023, for preventive care and healthy lab values and March 15, 2023, for health coaching.

Preventive care activities and Healthy Lab Values take longer to report, so those activities need to be completed by January 31, 2024, to be included.

Look for announcements for dates of the seminars and health programs coming to a location near you. All dates will be posted on our Wellness Events page.

To confirm that you have completed all requirements, you will need to login to MyCigna.com and view your Wellness Incentives page.
