Employees with Flu vaccination accommodation:
Biometric screenings are not part of the 2024 wellness incentive program, however, employees with an approved accommodation will be permitted to earn the $15 month incentive by completing biometrics in lieu of flu vaccination.
*Employees who are unable to undergo flu vaccination due to disability, medical contraindication, or sincerely held religious belief may seek a reasonable accommodation by contacting Julia Holmes, Deputy Compliance Officer, at JuliaHolmes@MissouriState.edu or (417) 836-6755. If an employee’s request for an accommodation is approved, the employee will be permitted to earn $15 of the wellness incentive by completing biometrics.
- Employees who were previously granted an accommodation with respect to the 2023 wellness incentive must resubmit their request for 2024. All requests for accommodation must be received on or before November 1, 2023. Requests received after that day will be denied as untimely.
Employees with an approved accommodation to the 2024 wellness incentive program will be permitted to earn the $15 monthly incentive by completing biometrics in lieu of vaccination. Employees who have approved accommodation and complete the biometric screening by a provider other than Magers Health and Wellness, will need to submit proof of completion to Magers on or before Dec 1, 2023. (Additional $15 monthly portion of incentive will require completion of educational questionnaire).
Employees and covered dependents, enrolled in the critical illness insurance coverage are eligible to receive a $100 wellness reimbursement for covered wellness/preventative care related activities, including biometric screening. *Reimbursement under critical illness plan is payable even when service is provided at no cost.
