When can I start my wellness activities?

If you have medical coverage in 2022 and are electing medical coverage for 2023
You can begin the three voluntary wellness activities in October. You’ll have an opportunity to keep up to a $500 credit toward your 2023 annual medical plan premiums by completing three voluntary wellness activities — a health screening, the online health questionnaire, and attest that you have a primary care physician and have had an annual physical within the last 12 months.

If you enroll in medical coverage for the first time during 2023 Annual Benefits Enrollment
You can begin the three voluntary wellness activities on My Wellness on Jan. 1, 2023, when your medical coverage begins. Your covered spouse or partner can also begin their wellness activities on My Wellness when your medical coverage begins on Jan. 1, 2023.

If you enroll in medical coverage outside of the 2023 Annual Benefits Enrollment
You can start the wellness activities on the day your medical coverage begins. In addition, you have 60 days after your medical coverage begins to complete the activities.
