***IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATED TO THE 2024 WELLNESS PROGRAM***

ACU is bringing eHealth Screenings back on campus for your convenience! Complete your complimentary biometric screening to help earn points toward your 2025 wellness credit. All employees and spouses enrolled in ACU’s medical plan for 2024 must complete a biometric screening & annual physical with their physician by 7/31/24 to avoid the wellness premium surcharge in 2025. As a reminder, since the deadline date has changed, those who had a biometric screening from August 1, 2023 –  September 30, 2023 will not need to complete another screening prior to July 31, 2024. Onsite Screening Dates and Times: ACU (Abilene) – Hunter Welcome Center March 20th, 21st & 22nd : 7:30-11:00am As a reminder, we will no longer be using Mobile Health. You must visit the link for eHealth in the flier provided to register for your screening. REMEMBER: You must fast (no food) for 9 hours before your appointment. Please drink plenty of water. Black coffee is permitted. Continue to take any prescription medications. If you are diabetic, please consult your physician before fasting. If you are not able to attend one of the onsite screenings, whether you are a remote employee or due to a schedule conflict, there is a form on the eHealth website to download for you to complete your screening with your physician. Follow the steps to schedule a screening to access the form. Please see the attached flyer for additional information related to registering for the mobile app. You can also contact humanresources@acu.edu with any questions.
