The Monthly Wellness Incentive is a $25 monthly payment awarded to medical plan participants who complete three wellness activities. Staff who receive paychecks twice per month will receive $12.50 in each paycheck. The wellness activities are: the Health Risk Assessment (required) and two of these forms: tobacco attestation, primary care provider attestation, biometric screening attestation, and/or dental check-up/cancer screening attestation.

The incentive encourages people to learn about their health, routinely meet with healthcare providers, and identify steps to improve well-being. In addition, those activities help the university evaluate health and wellness needs of faculty and staff. Recipients of the Wellness Incentive are considered “Wellness Participants.”
Please note: Wellness earnings are taxable.

More information can be found on the Faculty & Staff Wellness website.

The Wellness Program Incentive is a $100 (for one program) or $200 (for two programs) payment available to Wellness Participants throughout the year, in addition to the $25 Monthly Wellness Incentive. Wellness Participants who meet participation guidelines for one or two of the nine program categories (career, community, financial, general wellness, nutrition and/or weight management, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and tobacco cessation) during the current calendar year are able to attest and certify online that they are eligible to receive a $100 or $200 incentive in their paycheck at the end of the year by going to HCM, navigating to the Wellness Tile, and clicking on the Wellness Program Participation tab in the left menu. These attestation forms open annually in April.
Please note: Wellness earnings are taxable.

Each year by Nov. 30, you must complete the relevant program incentive attestation form for the category within which your completed program falls. To do so, navigate to the Wellness Tile and click on the Wellness Program Participation tab on the left menu. These attestation forms open annually in April.

Complete the forms that represent the category of the program(s) you have participated in to attest that you are eligible to receive the incentive(s). Read each form, check the applicable response box and make sure you click the “save” button at the bottom to complete the form.

Each fall, all benefits-eligible faculty and staff may complete the Health Risk Assessment to learn more about their health. However, only faculty and staff covered by a university medical plan AND who complete three wellness activities will receive incentives. See the Faculty & Staff Wellness FAQ page for more information.

The university offers wellness activities to encourage healthy behaviors. Over time, changes in behavior should improve health and lower use of health care resources. That can mean significant savings for a self-insured university because fewer health care expenses should be incurred over time. Any resulting decrease in health care expenses is a benefit for the university and to the individual in lowering expenses associated with the medical benefit plan. Other faculty and staff not covered by the Benelect program likely have similar programs available to them through their benefits plans. 

The university receives an aggregated, de-identified summary report Health Risk Assessment data. This information serves a dual purpose: It helps the university better understand the current health and well-being of participating faculty and staff, and it serves an evaluative purpose annually so the university can determine changes in health status over time. See the Faculty & Staff Wellness FAQ page for more information.

The university will not have access to individual results from the Health Risk Assessment. The university will only receive de-identified, aggregated data regarding the participant population. See the Faculty & Staff Wellness FAQ page for more information.

The university will only receive de-identified, aggregated data from WebMD for the Health Risk Assessment. See the Faculty & Staff Wellness FAQ page for more information.

During each orientation session for new hires, the wellness program is explained and handouts are provided that describe each of the wellness activities and how those adding medical coverage can participate. Between January and June of each year, new hires to the university have the first 30 days of their employment to complete each of the three activities to qualify for the monthly Wellness Incentive. They will then have the opportunity to meet participation guidelines in the nine Wellness Program Incentive areas to obtain additional incentive(s) if they wish. New hires to the university between July and December each year can participate in the fall wellness activities to receive the Wellness Incentives in the next calendar year.

You have the first 30 days of your coverage period to complete the annual wellness activities and become eligible for the monthly Wellness Incentive. Faculty or staff members adding Benelect medical coverage between July and December can participate in the fall wellness activities to receive the Wellness Incentives in the next calendar year.

A reasonable alternative standard is available for people who are not able to meet the participation requirements for the wellness program. If an eligible person is on leave during the annual fall participation period, they may request an extension for participation or some other type of accommodation by contacting the university’s medical director at erc10@case.edu.

All benefits-eligible faculty and staff may participate in our wellness programming. Those who do not select CWRU health coverage will not be eligible for the monetary incentives but are welcome to participate in any wellness program offered.

Currently, spouses are not eligible for the incentive. Only the primary covered employee is able to obtain the monthly Wellness Incentive. However, spouses who are also benefits eligible faculty or staff at CWRU can participate in the Biometric Screening and may participate in all wellness programs.

The Biometric Screening Attestation requires you to honestly attest that you have completed, or will complete, a Biometric Screening with your Primary Care Provider (PCP) during the program year.

A Biometric Screening is defined as a blood test ordered by a Primary Care Provider (PCP), such as a Medical Doctor (MD), Doctor of Osteopathic Medine (DO), Nurse Practitioner (NP), or Physician Assistant (PA). The screening should include, at a minimum, height, weight, glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure, and possibly waist circumference. PCPs use screening data to assess and evaluate health risks. This preventive care is important to monitor your health and to ensure that you receive the right care at the right time, based on your current health status.

See the Faculty & Staff Wellness FAQ page for more information.

The attestation forms associated with the Monthly Wellness Incentive are accessible in the Wellness tile of HCM from September 1 through November 30 annually. For those newly hired to the university, there are paper copies available in their new hire orientation packet.

Filling out the form should take approximately one to three minutes. Additional time requirements include scheduling and attending the appointment with your primary care provider. 

The CWRU Benelect provider, Medical Mutual, offers help to locate a provider close to your home or the office. 

Due to budget constraints at the university, the Wellness Program no longer offers biometric screenings through Quest Diagnostics. However, this presents an opportunity for us to encourage and incentivize employees completing this service with their primary care provider (PCP). Numerous benefits are associated with having an established primary care provider. Regular visits with a PCP encourage preventive exam compliance (e.g., colonoscopy, mammograms, etc.) and also lead to increased rates of necessary immunizations.

The form can be found by going to:  and navigating to the Wellness Tile and clicking on "Tobacco Attestation Form" on the menu on the left side of the screen. The form is open each fall from September 1 through November 30.

Be honest; indicate that on the Tobacco Attestation Form. To complete all requirements to obtain the monthly Wellness Incentive, you must participate in a tobacco-cessation program, but quit status at the end of the cessation program is not a requirement.

Once you have completed a majority of the sessions in a multi-week group or individual cessation program, please contact Medical Director, Elizabeth Click. She will work with Benefits so that you then begin to receive the monthly Wellness Incentive (if you completed the other two activities by November 30^th of the previous year).

See Faculty & Staff Wellness FAQ page for more information.

A variety of tobacco cessation program opportunities are described on our Campus Programs - Tobacco Cessation webpage.

To obtain the Tobacco Cessation Program Incentive, you must:

1. indicate whether or not you currently use tobacco on the Tobacco Attestation Form;
2. tobacco users need to participate in the majority of sessions in a group or individual cessation program; and
3. report the completion of that program by contacting the Medical Director, Elizabeth Click.
