Get Healthy and Earn New Health Rewards
Earn up to $200 in Visa Debit Cards during 2010.

The UPS Wellness Program invites you and your spouse to earn up to two health rewards each in 2010. Obtain your first health reward after completing the Health Assessment. Then earn a second reward for completing a defined exercise program or Weight Watchers® service. Each time you earn a health reward, you will receive a $100 Visa® Debit Card, to use for any purpose you like. So, by simply making a commitment to better health in 2010, you could receive up to $200, and your spouse could receive another $200, for a total of $400.

The new health rewards replace the previous wellness credits.

Eligibility
To be eligible to earn health rewards under the UPS wellness incentive program, an employee and/or his or her eligible spouse must be enrolled in medical coverage under the Flexible Benefits Plan at the time the requirements for each health reward are completed. No other dependents are eligible for health rewards. Remember, the requirements described below must be completed in 2010 in order to earn one or more 2010 health rewards.

1st reward: Complete your Health Assessment
To earn any health reward(s) in 2010, you first must successfully complete the Health Assessment online between January 1 and December 31, 2010. To access the Health Assessment online, visit your 2010 medical carrier’s Web site and follow the instructions for completing your Health Assessment.

Beginning January 1, 2010, your Health Assessment and PHR will be available from either the Aetna Web site (www.aetna.com) or the UnitedHealthcare Web site (www.myuhc.com). If you live in California or Hawaii and are covered by the Kaiser HMO in 2010, you should register at the Aetna Web site to access your Health Assessment and Personal Health Record (PHR).

Obtaining your 1st health reward after completing the Health Assessment
When you have taken the Health Assessment, the process for obtaining your first health reward depends on your 2010 medical carrier. If your coverage is administered by:

  • Aetna or Kaiser, your first health reward will be processed automatically by the Wellness Program Administrator.
  • UnitedHealthcare, you will receive a notification by mail or email that you have earned the first health reward. Once you respond, your health reward will be processed by the Wellness Program Administrator.

2nd reward: Complete a Weight Watchers or defined exercise program
As is required for the first health reward, you must complete the requirements for the second health reward in 2010. Detailed requirements are described below. While you are welcome to complete both a Weight Watchers and a defined exercise program, you will earn the second health reward only for the one you complete first, based on when the Wellness Program Administrator receives confirmation of completion.

Weight Watchers service
For purposes of earning the second health reward, you must have completed—in 2010—attendance and/or participation in, at least, 10 sessions or weeks of one of the following:

  • Weight Watchers at Work meetings
  • Local Weight Watchers meetings
  • Weight Watchers Online
  • Weight Watchers At Home Kit

Obtaining your 2nd health reward after completing a Weight Watchers service
Begin by downloading the appropriate UPS Wellness Program–Weight Watchers Completion form based on your 2010 medical carrier (either Aetna and Kaiser Members Only or UnitedHealthcare Members only).

Aetna/Kaiser Completion Form

UnitedHealthcare Completion Form

Then follow the steps below, depending on the Weight Watchers service you’re using:

  • If you have completed at least 10 Weight Watchers at Work Meetings or Local Meetings, present the completed form to your local Weight Watchers service provider for certification of attendance and his or her signature. Then mail the form to Weight Watchers at the address indicated on the form.
  • If you have completed at least 10 weeks in the Weight Watchers Online service, print the Account Status page located within “My Profile” and your Weight Tracker Summary. Mail all three items, plus a copy of your purchase receipt, to Weight Watchers at the address indicated on the form.
  • If you have completed at least 10 weeks using the Weight Watchers At Home Kit, print and complete the form, send a copy of your purchase receipt plus a copy of your daily diary to the address indicated on the form.

Weight Watchers will enter service completions and notify you if your submission is incomplete. Then, Weight Watchers will notify the Wellness Program Administrator monthly of the names of UPS employees and spouses who have completed a Weight Watchers service in 2010. Only simple data, including the service completion date, will be transmitted. No other personal information, such as the participant’s weight or the amount of weight lost, will be provided.
Your second health reward will be processed by the Wellness Program Administrator as long as you have completed the Health Assessment. For more information about health care privacy practices, review the material under Related Files.

Defined exercise program
To earn the second health reward, another choice is to complete 1,200 minutes of any number of approved physical activities in 2010. These include (but aren’t limited to) running, walking, playing tennis, and cleaning the house. By getting up and moving, you’ll improve your mind and body through cardiovascular activities, strength training, and/or toning. Up to 30 minutes of approved exercise per day will count toward your goal of 1,200 minutes. So, for example, if you walk 30 minutes a day for 4 days each week, you can earn your second health reward in only 10 weeks.
You must track your exercise online though a tracking tool that will be available in 2010 from your PHR, located at your medical carrier’s Web site. You are responsible for ensuring that the data you enter in your tracking tool is accurate, based on the “honor system”.

  • If your 2010 medical coverage is through Aetna or Kaiser, log on to www.aetna.com and click on View Your Personal Health Record, then My Health Tracker to locate the Physical Activity Tracker.
  • If your 2010 medical coverage is through UnitedHealthcare, log on to www.myuhc.com and the Personal Health tab, and click on Track Your Health, then Exercise.

Obtaining your 2nd health reward after completing a defined exercise program
If your medical coverage is through Aetna or Kaiser, your second health reward will be processed by the Wellness Program Administrator when the exercise requirements for completion are accomplished, as long as you have completed the Health Assessment.
If your medical coverage is administered by UnitedHealthcare, you will receive a notification by mail or email that you have earned the second health reward. Once you respond, your health reward will be processed by the Wellness Program Administrator as long as you have completed the Health Assessment.

Visa Debit Cards
Please allow up to 60 days for the Wellness Program Administrator to process your health reward. Once processing is complete, Visa Debit Cards earned through the Program are distributed monthly. If you have completed the requirements to earn a health reward but haven’t received your card, review the information above to ensure you’ve followed the instructions for obtaining your reward. And remember that you must complete your Health Assessment before you are eligible to receive any reward(s).

  • If your coverage is through Aetna or Kaiser, go online at www.aetna.com and check the Aetna Physical Activity Tracker to see whether the activity is indicated as completed. If it is, contact Aetna Member Services at 1-800-435-7324. If your Physical Activity Tracker does not indicate the activity was completed, check again when the site is updated, the first Wednesday of each month.
  • If your medical coverage is through UnitedHealthcare, contact the Health and Wellness customer service support line at 1-866-868-5484.

If you have received your Visa Debit Card but then lost it, call the card issuer at the phone number located on the carrier form your card was attached to, and follow the instructions for requesting a replacement. Neither your medical carrier nor UPS can assist you with this process once the card has been issued.

Taxable income
Any health reward(s) earned by a covered employee and/or spouse will be added to the UPS employee’s income, as reported on the employee’s paycheck and annual W2.
