Hello MCS, This a yet another gentle reminder that the 2017 Incentivized Wellness Program got underway in October 2016 and runs through September 30, 2017. Krishna's personal tip: The 60,000 points on offer for taking the Health screening, completing Health risk assessment and attending/viewing the 4LIFE lectures are easy to get (but don't delay). The remaining 20,000 points take months to accumulate; and it is not too late to start now. The details: Medical-benefit-eligible employees will participate in the Incentivized Wellness Program through Virgin Pulse. Participation in Virgin Pulse is necessary for any incentive to be earned in the Incentivized Wellness Program. The program will require regular participation between October 1, 2016, and the program end date of September 30, 2017. Employees will earn Virgin Pulse points for the three parts of the Incentivized Wellness Program. Each of these activities will be worth 20,000 Virgin Pulse points. By completing all three activities, employees will have earned 60,000 of the 80,000 points needed to earn the full $600.00 of wellness credit offered toward 2018 health insurance annual premiums. The remaining 20,000 points can be earned by participating in other Virgin Pulse offerings. Virgin Pulse offers many fun options for earning points: tracking daily activity level, sleep time, and nutrition; as well as engaging in health education activities tailored to employees' personal interests. Employees must be actively enrolled in Virgin Pulse to earn points towards wellness credits.
