Completing program steps early earns you extra rewards! Check out our Early Bird Rewards Program. Employees and their covered spouses may go the extra mile in the Bonus Round with our Wellness Engagement Options. Although not required, you may complete Option B: Health Coaching for a $150 gift card that will be awarded after the completion of an annual physical and online health assessment. Drawings for $50 gift cards are available for participation in various Wellness Engagement Options.

Completion of both Step 1: annual physical and Step 2: online health assessment are required to qualify for the medical rate discount. There are resources and support from the wellness program that you are able to take advantage of as COH employees, regardless of your completion status for the discount.

If you do not complete the health assessment by March 10, 2023, you are not eligible to earn a medical rate discount.

Employees with benefits effective on or after September 1, 2022 are exempt from taking the online health assessment and will be eligible for the annual discounted rates automatically. Please note that without the completion of an annual physical and online health assessment you are not eligible for the $150 gift card for completing health coaching.

We want to reward you for your proactive wellness activities, like getting your annual exam, so we’ve included dates that go back to February 1, 2022, for preventive care and healthy lab values and March 15, 2022, for health coaching.

Preventive care activities and Healthy Lab Values take longer to report, so those activities need to be completed by January 31, 2023, to be included.

Look for announcements for dates of the seminars and health programs coming to a location near you. All dates will be posted on our Wellness Events page.

To confirm that you have completed all requirements, you will need to login to MyCigna.com and view your Wellness Incentives page. For further instructions on how to view this page and check your progress, visit our MyCigna.com Navigation Guide. Please note that some activities will have a delay from the time the activity is completed and when it will be shown on MyCigna.com.
