About the Health Management Initiative
Wright State University’s Human Resources continues to implement the Health Management Initiative (HMI) for employees who elect coverage under our medical plans. This initiative aims to raise awareness of behaviors that impact health, increase the detection of chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and encourage participants to begin or continue to make healthier lifestyle choices.
As an example of the intent of this initiative, based on the aggregate data from the 2024 program year, 951 participants completed a biometric screening. The aggregate screening results identified the following:
- High cholesterol levels: 7%
- Hypertension 2 or crisis levels of blood pressure: 8%
- High A1C and glucose results or diabetic: 9%
- Obese or severely obese: 34%
The above aggregate data will be used to evaluate programming that may benefit the university and will be compared to future aggregate data to determine the changes in the health of our employee population.
Highlighted Program Changes for 2025
The following changes are being made to this year’s program:
- HealthWorks has migrated to a new portal to enhance the user experience. All participants must sign up and create an account on the new portal.
- The multiple offsite screening forms have been merged into one form. To streamline the data collection process, all participants must submit one paper form to HealthWorks, The Offsite Screening Results Form. HealthWorks will not accept old forms due to this merge.
- If you elect not to complete the Health Management Initiative actions by August 31, 2025, a $150 non-participation fee will be assessed to your monthly premiums beginning January 1, 2026. The non-participation fee will apply to all employees enrolled in a Wright State medical plan (as the policyholder) who do not meet the requirements of the Health Management Initiative.
- We’ve increased the number of on-site biometric screening events at the Dayton campus. You may still choose to have your biometric screening performed by your Primary Care Physician (PCP) or any Labcorp location as long as the respective paperwork is completed and submitted by the deadline. Details about the on-site biometric screenings can be found below.
Program Requirements & Eligibility
To avoid being charged a nonparticipation fee in 2026, employees enrolled in a Wright State medical plan beginning January 1, 2025, through May 31, 2025 (as the policyholder) should complete the following actions between November 1, 2024, and August 31, 2025:
- Complete a confidential online Health Risk Assessment (HRA) through HealthWorks,
- Participate in a biometric screening using one of the three options detailed below and
- Visit their Primary Care Physician (PCP) to discuss the biometric screening results and submit the Offsite Screening Results Form to HealthWorks.
Non-Participation Fee
If all requirements are not completed by August 31, 2025, a non-participation fee will be assessed beginning January 1, 2026. This non-participation fee is $150 per month. The non-participation fee will apply to all employees enrolled in a Wright State medical plan (as the policyholder) who do not meet the requirements of the Health Management Initiative.
Health Risk Assessment (HRA) Details
The HRA is a confidential, self-administered survey that asks questions about your lifestyle habits and health history and only takes 10 minutes to complete on the HealthWorks site. It can be completed 24/7, and it’s an important first step to improving your health, as the results may indicate where changes can be made to avoid future health care issues.
Biometric Screening (Blood Draw) Details
Biometric screenings provide a clinical assessment of key health measures. These results may reveal an increased risk for health conditions such as diabetes and heart disease. This process should take about 10 minutes to complete at our on-site screenings. Making changes based on these results is also a way to save on future health care expenses. The HealthWorks website allows you to upload your Offsite Screening Results Form anytime, 24/7.
Biometric screenings include:
- Blood chemistry profile and complete blood count
- 27 individual tests, including cholesterol, A1C, glucose, kidney and liver enzymes, and additional tests to detect anemia, infection, and more
- Blood pressure
- Body mass index (BMI)
- Waist circumference
Screening tips:
- Results are most accurate with an 8–10 hour fast before your appointment.
- You may drink black coffee or tea (no cream or sugar), and water is encouraged.
- Take all medications as prescribed by your doctor.
Additional Testing Available for Purchase
Additional tests are available for purchase with your on-site biometric screening. Payable by exact cash, check, Visa, Mastercard, HSA, or FSA debit card. Insurance reimbursement for additional testing is subject to your plan and not guaranteed.
