WELLNESS INITIATIVE FOR MCPS RETIREES NOT YET ELIGIBLE FOR MEDICARE

HAVE YOU TAKEN the Wellness Initiative for 2027?
Complete your biometric health screening and a health-risk assessment by October 2, 2026

 If you are an MCPS retiree enrolled in an MCPS medical plan and are not yet Medicare-eligible, you can reduce your 2027 health insurance costs by completing a biometric health screening and an online health-risk assessment through the Wellness Initiatives program.

 If you are eligible for this benefit and have not yet completed your screening or online assessment, you have until October 2, 2026. For each step completed by the deadline, MCPS will contribute an additional 1 percent toward the total
cost of your health insurance, reducing your share of the premiums, effective January 1, 2027. Completing both activities will reduce your contribution by a total of 2 percent.

Additional health insurance updates can be found at on the MCPS website.
