Fiscal 2017 Healthyroads wellness program is available
July 21, 2016
Fiscal year 2017 has begun, which means two things for the wellness program — wellness
rebates have begun and this fiscal year's program is available online.
If you and/or your spouse/financially interdependent partner completed all required
activities during FY16, the wellness rebate has started being paid out (for 12-month
employees). You can verify this for yourself by checking your paystub and looking
for the "WRB" notation. The wellness rebate is applied to each pay period where standard
health care deductions occur. Also, remember, the rebate earned by spouses/FIPs will
also be paid out to the employee who actually carries the insurance. Notice any discrepancies?
Please contact your local HR or Sara.
The FY17 wellness program has launched on the Healthyroads portal. Now when you log
in, you will be able to view the FY17 program requirements and get started. Completing
all required items will reward you with the wellness rebate over FY18. As in previous
years, there is a login link provided for both employees and spouses/FIPs for Healthyroads
at: www.alaska.edu/benefits/wellness. Employees will be able to utilize their current UA username and password. Spouses/FIPs
will be redirected over to Healthyroads to then log in with the username and password
that they chose during registration. As occurred last year, we are providing a "look-back"
for all activities to May 1, 2016. This means you may be ahead of the game already
and have earned points. Be sure to log in to check-out where you stand and see what
will be required this year. We will start communicating the new program year soon,
but in the meantime for questions you can contact UA's on-site program manager, Sara
Rodewald, at sararo@ashn.com or 907-450-8203.
Would you like to get a more in-depth introduction of the program this year? Rodewald will
provide overviews of the program and requirements to small groups at any campus. This
can be a great option to clarify lingering questions and ensure you and your co-workers
are in the know.
