As a reminder, employees on Drake’s health plan who wish to receive the wellness health insurance premium discount in 2026 (a savings of over $30 per month), need to complete a physical exam with an in-network provider between Dec. 1, 2024 and Nov. 30, 2025, and submit a completed Premium Discount-Annual Physical Form  by Dec. 1, 2025.  This form must be filled out annually to continue to receive the premium discount, so if you completed a physical last year, it is time to do it again.

The form can be found on the Drake HR website under the DU Well tab. Simply click on Wellness Premium Discount to find a link to the form. Please save a copy of the form on your own computer before filling it out.

If you have not yet scheduled your annual physical with your medical provider, you are encouraged to do so as soon as possible to guarantee you make the Dec. 1, 2025 deadline.

Please contact linda.feiden@drake.edu with questions.
