Don't forget: You must attend a screening or visit your doctor by May 14 to earn wellness incentives! Read on for more details, as well as to find out who was named a recent wellness challenge winner and monthly wellness champion.

Wellness Incentive Reminder 

Employees and spouses participating in Citizens’ medical insurance plans can earn a wellness incentive by meeting certain criteria. The wellness incentive for an employee on the medical plan is an insurance premium discount. The incentive for a spouse of an employee on the medical plan is a $250 deposit into the employee’s Health Savings Account. The criteria must be met either by visiting your primary care physician or by attending an onsite biometric screening by May 14. For details about the criteria, visit the Health and Wellness iTrust site or contact wellness coordinators Melissa Hehmann (mhehmann@citizensenergygroup.com) or Christa Willoughby (cwilloughby@citizensenergygroup.com).
