2024-2025 Wellbeing Program Year

Welcome to the 2024-2025 Wellbeing Program year! For those of you who participated last year, you can start earning points immediately through the Wellbeing Program portal or app. 

The program is largely the same from last year. The only change is in the number of points you’ll need to earn to receive a discount on your health insurance. This is due to the increase in points-earning programming added over the past few years. 

To receive a discount on your 2026 medical insurance rates, you’ll need to earn 8,000 points (or 10,500 points for employee and spouse) by August 31, 2025. Spouses who are covered under the medical plan can also participate by earning at least 2,500 points. 

Medical CoveragePoints2026 Medical Insurance Discount
Employee only8,000$500
Employee and children8,000$500
Employee and spouse with or without children10,500$750

As a reminder, the Wellbeing Program vendor is changing its name from Virgin Pulse to Personify Health. Learn more about the name change.
