New portal, incentive structure begins Jan. 1 for Healthy Boiler Program
New things are coming in 2022 for the Healthy Boiler Program. In addition to the updated wellness incentive program – to encourage more comprehensive wellness efforts – a new portal is also being introduced.
New Portal
Based on feedback from employees, a new portal for the Healthy Boiler Program will be utilized beginning January 1, 2022.
The new portal is easier to use and offers new features such as:
- A mobile app, which allows users to log their activity and more on the go.
- Fun, customizable wellness challenges, so individuals can pick a wellness journey that’s meaningful to them.
- Comprehensive Health Risk Assessment that measures well-being across the six key dimensions – emotional, occupational, social, financial, physical and purpose. The Comprehensive Health Risk Assessment is an optional step to complete for earning incentives. See below for more details.
- Educational videos and habit-based challenges to drive positive behavior change.
Employees will receive a registration email from our new portal vendor on January 4 – and a reminder email on January 11 – with detailed instructions on how to create a new Healthy Boiler Program account, which is required for 2022.
2022 Incentive Program
Employees and spouses can each earn up to $450 in incentives on top of the $200 base contribution from Purdue. Those with employee + children coverage can earn up to $900 in incentives, in addition to Purdue's $400 base contribution.
In 2022, funds can be earned through a variety of steps.
- Step 1 – Complete Annual Physical (Required)
Employees also have the option of completing additional steps to increase the incentive payment.
- Step 2 – Complete Annual Biometrics, Complete Health Risk Assessment, Complete Dental or Vision Exam, Complete Well-Being Screening (Optional)
Note: Employees can complete the steps in whatever order works best for them; but keep in mind that the annual physical has to be uploaded into the portal before any additional incentive dollars earned through step 2 can be paid.
See the “Earn Incentives” web page for details.
