Schedule Your Annual Checkups

Use your health benefits to book preventive care visits, eye exams, or dental cleanings before the calendar fills up! Preventative care is 100% covered for medical plan enrollees. Appointments scheduled between 11/1/24 and 10/31/25 are eligible for points towards a medical premium discount in 2026. For more information, check out Page 4 of the 2025 Wellness Program FAQ.

August is Immunization Awareness Month! As we gear up for a new school year, it’s the perfect time to make sure vaccinations are up to date. A simple way to do this is by asking about recommended immunizations during your annual preventive care exams—for both kids and adults. Staying on track with vaccines helps keep everyone healthy, classrooms safe, and communities strong.
