Why Healthy Boiler?
The Healthy Boiler Wellness Program was introduced in January 2018 in response to significantly increasing healthcare costs and trends as a way to provide benefits-eligible employees and spouses covered on a Purdue health plan an opportunity to improve their health and wellness and earn financial incentives at the same time.
Today, the Program is a multi-faceted approach to overall well-being composed of five pillars. The Healthy Boiler Program provides care in each area by offering cost-controlled benefits and easily accessible resources that help Purdue employees (and their families) across all campuses transform their lives into the healthiest, happiest versions possible. Through each of the pillars, the Healthy Boiler Program:
- Behavioral Health – advocates for integrated care programs that focus on behavioral health and community support - Spanish version
- Financial Wellness – provides financial education and guidance programs that help ensure long-term financial well-being - Spanish version
- Physical Health – champions health education, preventive care and ongoing treatment programs to help individuals achieve lasting physical health and overall well-being - Spanish Version
- Social Wellness – promotes opportunities that bring people together to foster collaboration and share common goals, contributing to both individual and collective well-being - Spanish Version
- Work-Life Integration – offers family-friendly benefits and programs that meet 21st century work-life demands - Spanish version
The Healthy Boiler Incentive Program is back for 2024 and runs from Jan. 1 – Dec. 31, 2024.
All benefit-eligible employees have several opportunities to earn incentives, which are deposited into their HSA or HRA to help pay for healthcare expenses.
In 2024, funds can be earned through a variety of steps – Step 1 (completing your annual physical) must be completed before payment for other objectives will be paid; however, you may complete the steps in whatever order works best for you. Employees also have the option of completing additional steps to increase the incentive payment.
- Employee only coverage can earn up to $450 in incentive dollars by completing both steps
- Employee + Spouse coverage can earn up to $900 in incentive dollars if both employee and spouse complete both steps
- Employee + Family coverage can earn up to $900 in incentive dollars if both employee and spouse complete both steps
- Employee + Children coverage can earn up to $900 if employee completes both steps
The portal is accessible at https://purdue.wellright.com. Employees and covered spouses will need to register to access the site. Please note: employees must register and login first in order to allow spousal access to the site. Spouses must register separately in order to manage activity and receive the incentives. Benefit-eligible employees who are spouse opt-outs are considered spouses and should register under their spouse. See the 2024 Healthy Boiler Guide for more information or visit the web page.
