Employees on Drake’s health plan who wish to receive a wellness health insurance premium discount in 2024, must complete a physical with their Primary Care Physician (PCP) between Dec. 1, 2022, and Nov. 30, 2023. The monthly savings in premiums for 2024 will be approximately $34.00.

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

If you have not yet scheduled your annual physical with your PCP, you are encouraged to do so as soon as possible.

If you are already looking to 2025, physicals completed between December 1, 2023, and November 30, 2024, will cover that plan year.

You can read more about the discount program and download the form for 2024 (or 2025) on this new webpage: Wellness Premium Discount.
