2012 Wellness Incentives

Earn $650 in Wellness Incentives in 2012

You will be asked to complete an online health risk assessment (HRA), also referred to as a health questionnaire, as a requirement of the annual $200 Wellness Challenge Incentive. You also have the opportunity to earn a $250 Tobacco-Free Incentive and an additional $200 incentive for completing your health screening.

The HRA requirement and registration for an onsite health screening will now be completed on SimplyWell's Web site during the enrollment period, November 14-22. Learn how to earn up to $650 in wellness incentives:

During enrollment:

$200 Wellness Challenge Incentive (all steps must be completed)

  • Accept the Wellness Challenge on Your Benefits Resources.
  • Register on SimplyWell's Website (if spouse/domestic partner enrolled in medical, both must register).
  • Employee registers on SimplyWell for the onsite health screening to be completed in first quarter.
  • Employee and spouse/domestic partner (if enrolled in medical) both complete HRA/health questionnaire on SimplyWell's site.

$250 Tobacco-Free Incentive

  • If you enroll in a First Data medical plan and have not used tobacco in any form for a year or more, a $250 annual incentive is available to you. Just select "I am tobacco Free" on the Wellness Incentive page on Your Benefits Resources.

Smoking Cessation Program through Medco® - this program covers smoking cessation prescriptions such as nicotine replacement therapy products and Zyban®,  up to a $500 lifetime maximum.

$200 Health Screening Incentive

  • Complete the onsite health screening in first quarter and receive an additional $200 annual incentive beginning in May. More information will follow enrollment, but be sure to schedule your screening during enrollment to earn the incentive.

Incentives will be prorated and paid each pay period as an additional earning on your paycheck. The incentives earned will help you offset the cost of your medical premiums. The Tobacco-Free Incentive is tax free, while the Wellness Challenge and Health Screening Incemtives are taxable earnings.

If you are a new hire in 2012, you will automatically receive the Health Screening Incentive. You will need to take action on future requirements in order to receive additional incentives.
