Healthy Merits

Important Information About Your Wellness Program

Welcome to your Healthy Merits Wellness Program! The goal of Healthy Merits is to help you become healthier by establishing smart and easy habits to last a lifetime, versus setting temporary goals. All employees and spouses enrolled in the medical plan are eligible to participate.

Our four medical plan options are offered through Meritain Health an Aetna Company. Need to connect?

Earn Incentives in 2024

Lower Insurance Premiums in 2025

Employees on the health plan will need to complete two gateway activities: MeasureUp, a biometric screening, and AgeGage, the online health assessment. This will count toward the point requirement for a reduced 2025 premium.

If you have a spouse on the medical plan, they can participate in the MeasureUp biometric screening and earn wellness incentives, too.

Note: to be eligible for the insurance discount, you must complete both the online health assessment and biometric screening.

How The Program Works

  1. Log into the Healthy Merits website.
  2. Click on MeasureUp.
  3. Select Schedule. 
  4. Choose either the off-site lab option or physician screening.
  5. Pick a date and time that works for you and remember to take in the lab requisition form. This screening will be of no cost to you! 

 

Employees and spouses on the health plan who complete a biometric screening and additional wellness activities will earn an insurance premium discount in 2026 to be applied to their 2026 health insurance premium. All lab forms must be requested by October 24, 2026 and submitted by October 31, 2026. If you have completed a comprehensive blood draw with your physician since December 1, 2025, you can submit your results through the physician screening option. You will need to follow the same steps to register and then choose physician screening.

Complete the two wellness activities below to be eligible to earn wellness incentives.
