Virtual Wellness, LiGHT and You: 3 Things to Do
1. Make Your Wellness Screening Appointment
Beacon associates and spouses covered under the Beacon medical plan are welcome to take part in this year’s Virtual Wellness program. This free program provides a snapshot of your health now and gives you an idea about what your health may look like in the future. Participation also gives associates and their spouses the opportunity to earn a discount toward their medical insurance premiums beginning January 2016.
Please keep in mind:
• Associates (and their spouses) enrolled in Beacon’s medical plan who were hired on December 1, 2014, or later must participate in the Virtual Wellness process.
• For everyone else enrolled in the medical plan, this year (2015) is a transition year for you and your spouse. For those who had Wellness Screenings done between November 2014 and February 2015, repeating a screening this summer is optional. Associates enrolled in the medical plan received Virtual Wellness program information at home in early July. Information is also on the Human Resources intranet page; click on the “LiGHT” tab. Visit https://beacon.circlewell.com/ to complete your online Health Risk Appraisal before scheduling your Wellness Screening. Don’t wait — screening appointments must be completed before September 30.
