Tiers

Employee Wellness Program Tiers

Tier 1: Completion of an Annual Health Assessment

The annual health assessment is offered at no cost to the employee and is all that is required to receive a tier 1 incentive. The health assessment includes completing a: 1) health screening and 2) Personal Wellness Profile (health risk assessment). The goal of the health assessment is to provide individuals with an increased awareness regarding their health and is not meant to take the place of an annual physical exam.

The Personal Wellness Profile is designed to provide a complete health and lifestyle assessment based on the most current scientific guidelines for optimal health. The health screening includes a blood lipid profile, blood pressure check, and body composition measurement.
