Members ages 18 or older can earn financial incentives through participation in the Health Risk Assessment, Biometric Screening and Wellness Incentive’s Programs. These incentives are deposited into a Wellness Fund Account and can be used by any covered family member. They’re available once per calendar year.

Wellness incentive rewards are available for reimbursement for Qualified Medical Expenses as defined by IRS Code 213(d). These expenses include, but are not limited to, services you or your covered dependents incur, medical plan deductibles, diagnostic services covered by your plan, long-term care premiums, health insurance premiums if you’re receiving Federal unemployment compensation, physician prescribed over-the-counter drugs, LASIK laser eye surgery, and some nursing services. If you enroll in Medicare, you can use the account to pay Medicare premiums. For a detailed list of IRS-allowable expenses, request a copy of IRS Publication 502. To do so just call 1-800-829-3676, or  visit the IRS website and click on “Forms and Publications.” Note: Although physician prescribed over-the-counter drugs are not listed in the publication, they are reimbursable from your Wellness Fund Account.

Wellness incentives are automatically issued when a medical claim is processed that results in member liability (e.g. copay or deductible). Members can also submit a claim to request reimbursement from their Wellness Fund Account by completing the Wellness Fund Reimbursement Request Claim Form (PDF).

Note: If you are enrolled in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and wellness incentives have been deposited into your Wellness Fund Account, you may not receive reimbursement for the same medical expense from both your Wellness Fund Account and your FSA. If a medical expense is covered under both your Wellness Fund Account and your FSA, your Wellness Fund Account will be used first. You may receive reimbursements from your FSA for medical expenses that are covered by both your Wellness Fund Account and your FSA only after the funds in your Wellness Fund Account have been used up.
