Go in-depth on how to earn points!

2 Priority (Required) Activities

  • Health Check Survey (online)
    • Click on "Health" (the heart icon) in the ribbon at the top and click "Take Survey" under "Health Check"
  • Biometric Screening (in-clinic, at your doctor, or mail-order kit)
    • Click on "Benefits" (the hand icon) in the ribbon at the top > LabCorp > Start Now > SSO to LabCorp landing page > select screening option

6 Additional Activities

Earn an additional 6 points to qualify for the rebate.

Once employees are logged into the platform, there is a “Rewards” drop down in the upper right. This will show the number of days remaining in the plan year along with the total points earned so far. 

Because the Health Check Survey and the Biometric Screening are required activities, these must be completed before any “locked” points are officially rewarded. Employees will be able to see “locked” points, but they will not be officially added to the point total until the required activities are completed.
