wellpower mission
When it comes to our health, there are aspects within our control and outside of our control. Our goal is to help manage those aspects within our control through delivering valid information, offering support and helping provide the extra accountability that so many of us need. We believe a healthy lifestyle does not include absolute thinking; rather, it is about finding a balance that works for each individual.
We encourage those we coach to focus on eating whole foods and less prepackaged foods, but sometimes you have to give yourself the freedom to enjoy the foods you love and not feel guilty about it. To achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle, it is not necessary to train for a body building competition or marathon, but it is important to move more and sit less.
Our ultimate goal is to help those we coach experience the benefits of a healthy lifestyle such as increased energy levels and simply feeling better. Numbers on the scale tell a small part of the story, but the scale cannot measure feelings and emotions. Our focus is on you and your journey, because the work to live a healthier life does not end, it changes, just as people do.
Embrace the value of prioritizing your health and wellbeing! Designed for ALL TEAM MEMBERS and SPOUSES on the health plan, wellpower is offering a program to support you in achieving a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

Tobacco / Nicotine Savings
Biometric Screening
Diabetes Management Program
Tobacco / Nicotine Savings
Tobacco/nicotine use is the leading cause of preventable death in our nation today. Because of this, we actively support a healthier, tobacco-free workforce that models a healthy lifestyle for our patients and community.
As a participant of wellpower, you have the opportunity to earn a tobacco/nicotine surcharge waiver for working toward a healthier lifestyle.
Participants will earn the surcharge waivers throughout the year by making healthy lifestyle choices such as:
- Complete a lab draw and become eligible for a tobacco/nicotine surcharge waiver
- Completing the HRA and Biometric Screening no later than November 21, 2023 (current year)
- Team members and spouses on the health plan can screen September 1, 2024 through November 19, 2024 to earn 2025 savings.
Q: Can you tell me about the tobacco/nicotine surcharge waiver?
A: All team members and spouses enrolled on/enrolling in the health plan for 2024, who complete the HRA and screening by November 21, 2023, are each eligible to earn $1,300 for an individual and $2,600 ($50 per bi-weekly pay period per individual) for a couple in annual tobacco/nicotine use surcharge waivers.
* Individuals who test positive for tobacco/nicotine use or attest to using tobacco/nicotine during a wellpower screening can earn the surcharge waiver by completing an approved tobacco cessation program. Employees and spouses on the health plan will have the opportunity to utilize a designated tobacco cessation program provider. Upon successful completion of the tobacco cessation program before April 1, 2024 (or within 90 days of the effective date for joining the plan), the surcharge will end and the participant will be refunded the surcharge paid.
Q: Can I just complete the tobacco/nicotine test to avoid the surcharge?
A: No. Team members and spouses enrolled in the health plan must complete a wellpower screening, including the lab draw to be eligible to have the tobacco/nicotine surcharge waived in 2024. Without a screening you will not be eligible to have the $50 (per person per bi-weekly pay period) tobacco/nicotine surcharge removed through December 2024.
Q: I am a new team member or newly eligible to enroll in health benefits. How long do I have to complete a wellpower Biometric screening?
A: New health plan enrollees who enroll during the year must complete a wellpower Health Risk Assessment and Biometric Screening (including the tobacco/nicotine screening) within 30 days of coverage effective date on the health plan to qualify for surcharge waivers. Spouses enrolling on the plan must also complete a wellpower Health Risk Assessment and Biometric Screening (including the tobacco/nicotine screening) within 30 days of coverage effective date on the health plan to qualify for surcharge waivers. If you are enrolling for coverage beginning January 1, 2024 during Open Enrollment you are required to screen before November 21, 2023.
Biometric Screening

A wellpower biometric screening includes measurements of height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and a nicotine/tobacco test.

Q: Why should I complete a biometric screening?
A: There are so many reasons!
- To help you take the first steps on your path to living a healthier, longer life. The biometric screening may help you identify a health-related problem you didn’t know you had.
- To prove your tobacco/nicotine status, which is required to earn the tobacco/nicotine surcharge waiver.

Q: Should I fast for my screening?
A: Fasting 8 – 12 hours before your screening is recommended for best results, but not required. You can take any medications with water while fasting.
Q: What if I just had blood work done with my medical provider?
A: If you had blood glucose and cholesterol levels tested within 90 days of your wellpower screening date, bring your lab results with you to your screening and we will use those results. You must still complete measurements for height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, heart rate and the tobacco/nicotine screening.
Q: What does wellpower do with my screening information?
A: The information from your HRA and the results from your biometric screening will be used to provide information to help understand your current health and potential risks and may also be used to offer you services through the wellpower program, such as well-being programming and content.
Q: What if I am unable to participate due to a limitation or disability?
A: If you are unable to take part in any of the health-related activities or meet any of the health outcomes required, you may be entitled to reasonable accommodation or an alternative standard.
