New Year, New Wellbeing Updates!
The 2024 BMW Wellbeing. Your Way. Program is now underway! In 2024, we have made some changes to the requirements to earn your $500/$1000 wellbeing incentive.* Read on for more details.
*Benefit programs are reviewed annually and are subject to change by BMWMC.
New Requirement: 40 points must come from either a Health Check or Annual Physical.
Like in past years, you will still need to upload 100 wellbeing points by December 15 to be eligible for the Wellbeing incentive in 2025.* Now, if you do not complete either the Annual Physical or Health Check, as part of your 100 wellbeing points, you will NOT be eligible.
You should complete your Annual Physical with your established physician, whether they are at the Associate Family Health Center (AFHC) or at a community office. Your Health Check can be completed in Hall 50 or 52 or at the AFHC—see details below.
Important Note: you must manually record activities in your Wellbeing portal to earn points.
To earn wellbeing points for an activity, you must log on to your Wellbeing account and manually upload proof of participation. This includes visits captured at the AFHC, webinars, blood donations, volunteer events, and more.
PRO TIP: a “Complete This” button will indicate that you need to manually complete that activity. Simply click the button and follow the prompts to upload points. You will need to refresh your browser or app to see points reflected in your account after submission.
Remember to upload completed activities to earn 100 wellbeing points by December 15, 2024, to receive the $500/$1000 Wellbeing incentive in 2025.*
What is a Health Check?
Health checks help you identify your healthy behaviors and any undetected health issues or conditions that may need attention. The health check is a quick, 30-minute appointment where you will complete a health risk assessment survey while your screener administers a finger stick to check your cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar, and A1c levels. This information will then be used to create your personal health score report. Getting a yearly health check will allow you to track your score over time!
Health checks can be completed at several convenient locations on campus:
Hall 50 (IHS): Monday & Thursdays from 6 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Hall 52 (IHS): Tuesdays/Wednesdays from 6 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Associate Family Health Center: Monday - Friday
To schedule a health check appointment for any of these locations, please call 864-989-1432 (select option 1) or sign in to your MyPremise account and select “Biometric” while scheduling.
TIP: Don’t wait until the last minute to schedule appointments that earn points. As the December 15 deadline approaches, appointments fill up quickly! Even if you want to wait to complete the appointment later in the year, we recommend scheduling those appointments now before time runs out! The deadline falls on a SUNDAY this year—please plan appointments accordingly.
