Action required for new health plans

With the new year, the new LLUH health plans became active. Employees will soon have more information and resources than ever before to empower them to become actively involved in managing their health.

The new wholeness and base plans took effect January 1. Enhanced benefits for those enrolled in the wholeness plan include 100 percent coverage with no employee copayment for most preventive services provided on the Loma Linda campus.

To remain eligible for the wholeness plan, employees and spouses who are enrolled in the plan must complete an online health risk assessment (HRA) and biometric screening within the first quarter of 2014. This does not apply to LLU employees. Any changes for them will be announced at a later date in conjunction with their open enrollment in May 2014.

Thousands of employees have gone through this process over the past few years through various employee wellness services. There is no charge for the HRA or biometric screening.

Employees and spouses are encouraged to schedule their appointment for the biometric screening early for access to the greatest number of choices for times and locations. In addition to screenings during regular work hours, appointments are also available on Sundays and in the early morning and evening.

The biometric screening will take place at eight locations:

  • Behavioral Medicine Center
  • East Campus
  • LLUAHSC 101 building
  • Faculty Medical Offices
  • LLUMC cafeteria
  • Wong Kerlee International Conference Center
  • Highland Springs
  • LLUMC - Murrieta (for employees of Loma Linda University Medical Center main campus who are stationed at the Murrieta campus)
