Prevention:


SRP-MIC offers participants the opportunity to earn WellPath points by practicing prevention in their lifestyle. Those preventive practices which are considered to be: most helpful for maintaining health; prudent based on the individual; and which are most cost-effective have been endorsed for WellPath points.

________________________________________

WellPath provides incentives to employees to follow preventive medicine recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

These practices are reviewed by an independent panel to determine which are the most effective for you and your family. People who practice prudent, preventive medicine avoid illness, and through early detection, may reduce healthcare costs, and have better outcomes, if they do become ill.

As an example: Incentives are provided for activities such as taking an annual flu shot, mammography, or colonoscopy, when appropriate. If you use the calculator to the right, you can identify those preventive practices which are recommended for you. Incentives can be earned for completing each of the “Grade A” recommendations.

We also provide an incentive to have an annual medical exam with your primary care physician. The preventive program works best when you use the checklist generated by the calculator at your annual preventive medical exam to discuss completing the Grade A preventive practices with your physician.

Remember, you never have to provide any personal, protected, health information to participate in WellPath.

Simply provide simple evidence via the instruction on the reporting page to receive incentives. (such as the Documentation of Preventive Practice form below signed by a health practitioner, a super bill, pretest instructions, etc.)  

In general, employees can earn 10 - 15 points for each applicable preventive practice they complete.

If you are on an SRP-MIC health plan, you have great medical coverage.

Many of the recommended preventive practices will be free of cost to you in compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“ ACA”). Other practices may be covered under SRP-MIC’s  health plan’s wellness benefits with no co-insurance or deductible applied (up to $800/annually). If you have questions, please schedule an appointment with your benefits representative and/or review the wellness benefits in our plan prior to scheduling care.
