Deadline nears for level one of Healthy Purdue
Level one of Healthy Purdue -- and the opportunity to earn $150 (before taxes) -- is winding down.
Those planning to participate must complete a wellness screening and the HealthPath Questionnaire by April 30.
Once participants have completed the HPQ, they are eligible to work toward completing level two, which involves completing five apples to earn an additional $250 (before taxes).
Participants can view their current completions (HPQ and apples) via WorkLife ProgramsÕ online tracking system.
Go to www.purdue.edu/healthypurdue click "Check My Apples," and then log into the system using career account and password. If an HPQ completion date is not yet showing in the tracking system, participants may call StayWell at (800) 926-5455 to confirm completion.
The $150 (before taxes) payment will occur approximately six to eight weeks after the HPQ has been completed. The payment will be added to the employee's pay and will show as "health plan inc. pymt."
To complete the online HPQ, go to www.purdue.edu/healthypurdue and click on StayWell's logo. The online HPQ will be available until 8 p.m. EDT on April 30.
Those who completed a paper HPQ will receive a results booklet in the mail approximately three weeks after sending the questionnaire to StayWell. Paper HPQ participants who do not receive the results booklet or have questions should call StayWell's HelpLine at (800) 926-5455.
