  7. How it works… • Mandatory components of the program: • MHA (Member Health Assessment): a short survey regarding your health and habits • Biometric Screening (blood pressure, weight, cholesterol, etc.) Sign up for one or our two on-site screenings, obtain current information from your doctor, or visit LabCorp • Preventative Care Compliance: Complete the recommended number of preventative care components based on your age. These activities may include a dental exam, eye exam, annual physical, flu shot, etc. • Additional activity examples (to earn the remaining 50 points): • View a webinar • Employer challenge- the challenges will occur in November, January, and May • Participate in an event (walking program, cooking demonstration, etc.), • Participate in a personal coaching session. If you’re going to have annual check ups and vision & dental exams anyway, why not earn WELLNESS POINTS for them?!

You do not have to log in. • Viverae has a mobile site that can be accessed via your smart phone • Privacy • CCGov does not receive any of your personal health information, EVER.

Work out a schedule that accommodates your needs and the needs of the department.
