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 through Sept. 15).
2. With your physician and fill out a Physician Wellness Screening Results form (available through Sept. 30).
3. On campus through UnityPoint Health (online registration opens Sept. 4 with screening dates in October).

There are a set number of spaces available for the on campus screenings so we recommend as many employees as possible consider the physician or Hy-Vee option.

As an incentive, HR is offering an early bird prize. If you complete your screening through your physician or at a participating Hy-Vee by Sept. 30, your name will be placed in a drawing for a chance to win your choice of a prize from an online wellness catalog. That said, you are welcome to use any of the three options that work best for you.
