Those on Drake’s health plan can save approximately $300 in 2019 by completing a wellness screening this year. If you are on Drake’s health plan and currently enrolled in the Wellness Premium Incentive Program, you must complete a wellness screening annually to retain your savings. New this year: You will not be required to complete an online wellness assessment. You only need to complete the wellness screening to receive the premium incentive.

There are three ways to complete your wellness screening.

1. At a participating Hy-Vee (available now through Sept. 15)
2. On campus through UnityPoint Health (online registration opens Sept. 4 with screening dates in October)
3. With your physician, and fill out a Physician Wellness Screening Results form.

Note: If you have a physical with bloodwork between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30, the results can be submitted as your wellness screening. Be sure to take a copy of the Physician Wellness Screening Results form to your appointment. Your physician must sign the completed form and you or your physician must fax it to 1-855-827-6307. Results will be forwarded to Wellmark. The signed form must be received by Sept. 30, 2018. To determine whether your paperwork has been received, contact Wellmark on their 24/7 helpline at 1-877-252-8412.  It is your responsibility to ensure the form is submitted on time.
