About the Health Management Initiative
Wright State University Human Resources continues to provide a Health Management Initiative (HMI) for employees who elect coverage on our medical plans. The purpose of this initiative is to raise awareness of behaviors that impact health, increase the detection of chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and encourage participants to begin and/or continue to make healthier lifestyle choices.
As an example of the impact of this initiative, based on the aggregate data from 2021-2022, a total of 458 participants received an on-campus biometric screening. Of the participants who received a screening, 38% were identified as being at risk of experiencing issues with their health and were encouraged to begin or continue treatments and/or make healthier lifestyle choices.
New Program Changes for 2023
The following changes are being made to this next year’s program:
- While getting flu and COVID-19 vaccines are still encouraged, those vaccines will no longer be required for the Health Management Initiative.
- We will continue to offer limited on-site biometric screening events on the Dayton campus. However, this year, you may choose to have your biometric screening performed by your Primary Care Physician (PCP) or any Labcorp location as long as the respective paperwork is completed and submitted by the deadline.
- If you elect not to complete the Health Management Initiative actions by August 31, 2023, a non-participation fee will be assessed to your monthly premiums beginning January 1, 2024. This non-participation fee is currently estimated to be $100-$150 per month (for a total of $1,200-$1,800 for the year). The non-participation fee will apply to all employees enrolled in a Wright State medical plan (as the subscriber) who do not complete the requirements of the Health Management Initiative.
Program Requirements & Eligibility
In order to avoid being charged a non-participation fee in 2024, employees enrolled in a Wright State medical plan (as the subscriber) should complete the following actions between November 1, 2022, and August 31, 2023:
- complete a confidential online Health Risk Assessment (HRA) through HealthWorks,
- participate in a biometric screening using one of the three options detailed below, and
- visit their Primary Care Physician (PCP) to discuss the biometric screening results and submit the completed Annual Physician Verification Form to HealthWorks.
Non-Participation Fee
If all requirements are not completed by August 31, 2023, a non-participation fee will be assessed beginning January 1, 2024. This non-participation fee is currently estimated to be $100-$150 per month (for a total of $1,200-$1,800 for the year). The non-participation fee will apply to all employees enrolled in a Wright State medical plan (as the subscriber) who do not complete the requirements of the Health Management Initiative.
Health Risk Assessment (HRA) Details
The HRA is a confidential, self-administered survey that asks a series of questions about your lifestyle habits and health history and only takes 10 minutes to complete on the HealthWorks site. It can be completed 24/7 and is an important first step to improving your health as the results may indicate where changes can be made to avoid future health care issues.
Biometric Screening Details
Biometric screenings provide a clinical assessment of key health measures. These results may reveal an increased risk for health conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease. This may take about 10 minutes to complete at our on-site screenings and is an important part of creating a healthier you. Making changes based on these results is also a way to save on your future health care expenses. The HealthWorks website will allow you to upload your screening information from a Labcorp or PCP visit 24/7. Three on-campus screening events will be offered at the Dayton Campus as well.
Biometric screenings include:
- Blood chemistry profile and complete blood count
- 27 individual tests including cholesterol, A1C, glucose, kidney and liver enzymes, and additional tests to detect anemia, infection, and more
- Blood pressure
- Body mass index (BMI)
- Waist circumference
Screening tips:
- Results are most accurate with an 8–10 hour fast before your appointment
- You may drink black coffee or tea (no cream or sugar), and water is encouraged
- Take all medications as prescribed by your doctor
