Benefits Tip – Wellness Exams

by   |  09.19.16  |  Benefits

To check if you have completed your wellness exam, please see the instructions below.

If your exam was between 10/1/15-12/31/15, you will need to login to your myCigna account. Once you are logged in, you will click on the “My Health” tab at the top of the page. You will click on the blue button in the middle of the page on the left-hand side that says “View My Incentive Details.” All of your claims will be listed here and you are looking for a preventative exam. (see examples below)

If your exam was 1/1/16 or later, you will need to login to your GPA account. Once you are logged in, you will click on the “Claims” tab at the top of the page. You will want to change the “Show” dropdown the the “Last 12 months” and click “Search.” All of your claims will be listed here and you are looking for a preventative exam. (see examples below)
You are looking for an EOB with something like the following listed:
“PHYSICAL EXAM”, “WELLNESS EXAM”, “GYN EXAM”, or “ROUTINE PAP”
If you feel you had your wellness exam, but do not see an EOB for it, that would be a conversation for you to have with your doctor’s office.
