UMS employees no longer need to complete or submit Level 1 wellness activities to receive benefits, a new change for this year under the Anthem wellness program.
Great news! Our University of Maine System (UMS) wellness program under Anthem has been enhanced to make earning rewards simpler and more flexible.
- No more Level 1 requirements – activities are no longer tied to health insurance premiums.
- No April 30 deadline – you can participate at any time throughout the calendar year.
You can now earn up to $100 less applicable tax withholdings for completing individual wellness activities, and an additional $100 (less taxes) if your spouse or domestic partner participates. Rewards will be paid in your final paycheck of the year.
To get started:
- Log in to Anthem.com, or download or log in to the Sydney® Health app.
- To view and complete activities, scroll down and select “My Rewards.”
Ways to earn rewards include:
- Preventive care: Annual wellness or well-woman exam, mammogram, colorectal cancer screening, or prostate screening.
- Fitness tracking: Log activity, sleep, or nutrition.
- Healthy Body & Mind: Engage with a digital well-being coach, complete an Action Plan, or fill out a Health Profile.
Take charge of your health and get rewarded for it!
