Wellness incentive program
Save on your health insurance
MCPS employees, complete a biometric health screening of your blood pressure, blood sugar, body mass index, and cholesterol between October 7, 2024, and October 3, 2025. If you do, MCPS will pay 1% more of the total cost of your health insurance (medical, prescription, dental, and vision) in 2026 — reducing your contribution by 1%.1
Enrolled in a two-party or family medical plan? Only you — the medical-plan subscriber — need to complete a screening to earn the incentive. Maintain the rate reduction by completing a biometric health screening each year within the announced time frame.

1 If you are covered by a prescription, dental, and/or vision plan, but do not carry medical insurance through MCPS, you may complete a biometric health screening, but will NOT be eligible for the 1% reduction. You will NOT be able to complete a health risk assessment; however, since it is offered only through the medical plan
2App services may not be covered under your health plan benefits and may not be subject to the terms set forth in your Evidence of Coverage or other plan documents. These services may be discontinued at any time without notice. Psychiatry is not included in the myStrength Complete membership.
