Start here! The options below are our favorite ways to engage with the platform and earn points this quarter: 

Biometric Health Screenings

All eligible participants are encouraged to conduct an annual health screening so they stay on track with their wellness goals. Note: Equal opportunities are available to all affiliates at all OHIO campuses. Though, Athens incentives are processed in Fall semester and Regional incentives are processed in Spring semester. 

Eligible Participants will receive $60 added to the paycheck of the benefits-carrier. It will appear on a paycheck under the line item of "Healthy OHIO." Please note that it can take up to a full quarter following the participation window for payouts to appear on a paycheck.

Three screening options are available in FY23:  

Option One: 

WorkHealth Clinics 

We encourage eligible employees/spouses/partners to use OhioHealth's WorkHealth Athens Clinic for screening appointments at no cost during the annual screening window (September-November).

The screening window for this option is now closed.

Option Two: 

Screening Form

Have your primary care physician (PCP) conduct an annual screening, including a blood panel.

Ensure your PCP knows to code the visit as a preventive exam so you don't pay for the screening. If your appointment does not qualify as a preventive exam, we recommend utilizing option one or option three, instead. You will be given a copy of your results and can share those results with your PCP.

Physician Screening Forms for all campuses will be accepted on a rolling basis beginning July 1 and due on May 31, annually. Late forms will not be accepted. No exceptions.

Select and download the Physician Screening Form that pertains to your campus.

Option Three: 

On-Campus Events

Athens campus events occur in the fall annually and Regional campus events occur in the spring.
