If you are on Drake’s health plan and wish to receive the wellness premium incentive in 2017 you must complete a biometric screening and online wellness assessment in 2016. This will save you approximately $300 so take action now!

While the deadline to have your biometric screening completed with your physician has passed, you can still schedule a free screening with Hy-Vee or an on-campus screening with UnityPoint.

• Complete your screening at a participating Hy-Vee location July 1 through Sept. 15. Full details and a list of participating Hy-Vee locations can be found here. Screening is free (no co-pay).
• On-campus biometric screenings will take place between 6:30 and 10:45 a.m. at the Olmsted Center through UnityPoint Health on the following dates: Oct. 6–7, 12–14, and 18–20. To schedule your screening, click here. Sign in with username DRAKE and password SCREEN. Find additional information in the On-campus Health Screening Scheduling Guide.

If you have already completed your biometric screening, don’t forget to complete your online wellness assessment on wellmark.com by Nov. 15.

For those looking for a chance at an extra incentive we have an EARLY BIRD SPECIAL! Everyone who has completed their screening through Hy-Vee or their physician and an online assessment by Sept. 30 will be placed in a drawing for a chance to win a $50 gift card.
