Beginning in the 2025 plan year, if you are enrolled in a Huber medical plan, you (and your covered spouse) each have an opportunity to earn an Annual Wellness Credit, which lowers your bi-weekly medical contributions from your paycheck. You will now need to complete two important steps to earn the Wellness Credit (for your 2025 medical contributions):
Adding the annual physical helps us support and encourage you and your family in taking care of your well-being, getting free preventive care and staying connected to your primary care doctor during the year.
Annual physicals completed in 2023 qualify! After completing both actions, you can expect to see your respective Wellness Credit when you enroll for benefits (during the 2025 Annual Enrollment period in the fall of 2024).
If you are newly eligible for benefits or are a new hire** in 2024, you will receive the Wellness Credit automatically.
To receive credit for your annual physical exam, your physician (i.e., provider of service) must submit the claim to Aetna as a preventive physical exam, which has specific billing codes for this service. This service can only be a preventive physical health exam, meaning that you are healthy and not sick or experiencing any health symptoms. If your annual physical exam is not coded using these specific billing codes, you will not be recognized as completing the annual physical exam requirement and will not receive the annual Wellness Credit. If the coding is not reflected accurately, you will need to contact your physician to have this corrected and re-sent to Aetna.
*Your covered children are not required to get an annual physical for you/your spouse to receive the credit.
**If you are hired between January and March, you will receive the 2024 Wellness Credit. If you are hired between April and December, you will receive the 2024 and 2025 Wellness Credit. You must complete your physical each year after getting hired to continue receiving the Wellness Credit.
If enrolled in a Huber medical plan, you (and your covered spouse) have an opportunity to be rewarded by each earning up to $50 gift cards for completing wellness activities that enhance your overall health and well-being.
When you complete certain wellness activities such as those shown below, you will receive a gift card reward through Aetna.
