1 Momentum+ Wellness Program Overview October 1, 2016 September 30, 2017 The Momentum+ Wellness Program, offered through the RCAB Health Plan and Tufts Health Plan, is here to help you reach all of your health and wellness goals. Employees and spouses enrolled in the RCAB Health Plan can earn up to $500 tax free into a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) for participating in various wellness activities. Activities must be completed within the dates above to receive credit during this plan year. Visit for additional information. How it Works Complete activities in the Momentum+ Wellness portal at and your Wellness points will be recorded. By the end of the calendar month following the month of completion of your first Momentum+ activity, an HRA will be opened for you with Choice Strategies. A MasterCard loaded with your first month s HRA dollars will be sent by mail to you from Choice Strategies. As you complete additional activities, funds will be credited to the same MasterCard. Each enrolled employee and spouse is eligible to earn $500 per year in HRA dollars. Once you have earned the annual maximum of $500, no additional credits will apply to your HRA, but you can continue to participate in the Momentum activities online. Who is Eligible to Participate Employees and spouses enrolled in the RCAB Health Plan are eligible to participate. While dependent children are not able to earn HRA dollars, HRA dollars earned by the employee and/or spouse can be used to pay for eligible expenses incurred by covered dependents. Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRA) Credits will be provided in a HRA account, so there are no tax implications for you! HRA funds can be used to pay for medical copays, prescription copays and more. Balances can be rolled over from year to year as long as you remain enrolled in the RCAB Health Plan.

3 Momentum + Wellness Program Activity Detail Personal Health Assessment (PHA) Completing your PHA is a great way to learn how healthy you are and how your lifestyle choices make a difference. The PHA is completely confidential and only takes about minutes. When you are done, you will receive a personal health report with your overall wellness score, detailing areas where you are doing well and areas where you could improve. You will earn $75 in HRA dollars when you finish the assessment. The RCAB Health Plan and Benefits Office will not see your results but will see that you have completed the PHA. Know Your Numbers To get the best results from your PHA, have your most recent biometric health values in hand. You will receive $5 in HRA dollars for each health value you enter into the PHA: height and weight for BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol, HDL, and glucose, for a total of $25 in HRA dollars. If you know your LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, include those numbers in your PHA to get a total picture of your health. Please Note: once your PHA is submitted without your biometric health values, you will not be able to go back and enter your health values (height and weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, HDL, glucose) to earn the reward.
