MYTH #1: I’m not going to meet all of the numbers, so I don’t need to get screened.

Step 2: If you don’t meet the numbers, complete a Reasonable Alternative before September 30th and you’ll earn the full $520. Find out more on Reasonable Alternatives here: https://behealthythr.wpengine.com/be-healthy/wellness-credit-screening/.

Doctor’s Office Option
If you get your screening completed at your doctor’s office, you will have a $0 cost if you get your Wellness Credit Screening during your annual preventive/wellness exam.

Then, get screened again before the September 30th deadline. You’ll be re-screened for all metrics each time you screen, and we will take your best numbers.
