UA’s wellness program deadline approaches

March 17, 2015

University Relations

The April 30 deadline to complete all UA Choice Plan requirements for fiscal year 2016 is quickly approaching. University employees and their spouses or financially interdependent partners currently enrolled in the UA Choice Plan still have time to complete the following requirements:

1. Complete a personal health assessment.


2. Complete a biometric screening.


3. Earn five additional credits.

Once these are complete, you will be eligible to earn a rebate of up to $600 for you and $600 for your spouse or financially interdependent partner. The wellness rebate will be paid out in bi-weekly payments or “credits” on your paycheck, just like you pay for health insurance.

As a reminder, all program-related information is posted online through the UA benefits page: http://www.alaska.edu/benefits/wellness-programs/. You can also view the Incentive guidelines and requirements through the Healthyroads website. (Employees should access the site using the single sign-on link.) Once logged into Healthyroads.com, you can view the information under the "Incentives" tab.

If you have any additional questions, please contact Sara Rodewald, program manager for Healthyroads, at sararo@ashn.com or 907-450-8203.
