By completing the Initial Wellness Activities, during the annual specified time frame, you can save $500 in your annual medical payroll contributions. If you cover your spouse/domestic partner, you can save an additional $500 if your spouse/domestic partner also completes their Initial Wellness Activities during the annual specified time frame. In addition to savings on medical payroll contributions, timely completion of these activities will also earn employees Wellness Rewards in their Medical Reimbursement Account (MRA). For the 2022 plan year, Initial Wellness Activities are the biometric Wellness Screening and an online Wellness Assessment. There are special provisions for newly eligible members or employees on a leave of absence.

If you completed both a biometric Wellness Screening and an online Wellness Assessment between November 21, 2020 and November 19, 2021 (11:59 p.m. Eastern Time), you would have earned $100 in your 2022 MRA to be deposited in mid-January. And if your covered spouse/domestic partner also completed both the Wellness Screening and Assessment by that deadline, you would have earned an additional $50 in your 2022 MRA.
