2015 Wellness Program Summary
Our employees’ health is very important to us. In an effort to motivate our employees to be
more aware of their health and ways that it can be improved, Roanoke City Public Schools
provides reduced insurance premium rates to those employees who elected to be “Wellness
Compliant”. It is anticipated that if employees exhibit healthful behaviors, the result will be
both a healthier workforce and reduced overall health care cost.
New In 2015:

We have a new Wellness Plan Administrator. UnitedHealthcare’s Incentives for Health
program will collect and track wellness compliance for our employees. UHC receives and
tracks Physical – Health Actions forms
 2015 information is available on the RCPS website, Employee Tab, Wellness. You will
receive a mailing from Incentives for Health in the next few weeks.
 Employees participating in the wellness program for 2015 will receive a $50 per
month reduction in their premiums or increase in premium credit (for a total of $500
in savings per year) in 2015.
 Under the Non RCPS Spouse also Compliant level, both Spouse and Employee must
meet Wellness Compliance requirements to qualify for Wellness in 2016. If either
the employee or the spouse fails to be compliant then neither are compliant for
2016.

requirements to qualify for Wellness in 2016. If either employee fails to be
