During an annual physical, your Primary Care Provider (PCP) will collect measurements such as blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose levels, body mass index (BMI), and family history to provide a quick check-up on some key indicators of your current health. You will be asked some questions, weighed, measured, and a blood sample will be taken by venipuncture. Your annual physical is an opportunity to meet with a PCP to review your health, get your questions answered, and help identify any potential health risks.
The health plan pays for one physical every calendar year. It can be at any time in the year and you don’t have to wait 365 days from your last physical. Annual physicals at an in-network provider are covered 100%* by the State employee health plan for eligible employees and spouses, AND you can also earn $200 in Wellness Rewards for completing the appointment and submitting the required form.
*If non-preventive care is provided at the same time as the annual physical, there could be out-of-pocket costs.
How to earn your Annual Physical Wellness Reward
Employees and spouses eligible for the Wellness Rewards Program earn $200 in rewards for completing an annual physical.
- Make an appointment with your PCP for your physical with lab work.
- Print the Annual Physical Results form and fill in Section 1.
- Bring the form to your appointment, and have your doctor complete Section 2.
- If you already completed your annual physical but didn’t get your form filled out, it’s not too late. Email the form to your PCP to complete and coordinate with them to receive your completed form.
- You are responsible for submitting your completed form. Follow instructions on the form to submit it via fax or upload. Please note, it can take up to 4 weeks for forms to be processed. Your form is considered processed when the Mobile Health Consumer portal Rewards Center shows the activity as complete.
