Important Reminder: Employees on Drake’s health plan who wish to receive a wellness health insurance premium discount in 2024, need to complete a physical with their Primary Care Physician (PCP) between Dec. 1, 2022, and Nov. 30, 2023, and submit a Premium Discount-Annual Physical Form by Nov. 30, 2023.  This is an annual requirement and the only option to receive the discount in 2024.

Besides receiving a premium discount, an annual physical is a great way to receive important health information through age and gender specific examinations, schedule recommended preventative screenings, and create a doctor-patient relationship.

If you have not scheduled your annual physical yet with your PCP, you are encouraged to do so as soon as possible.  You do not need to wait a year and a day between physicals.  Our Wellmark plan allows for one physical per calendar year.

Please send an email to linda.feiden@drake.edu with questions.
