BNY Mellon Benefits Guide
Live Well Incentives
Work with a Health Coach
WebMD health coaching provides personalized, one-on-one, phone-based support from skilled health professionals. Your personal health coach will help you achieve a goal for better health and wellbeing based on the results of your Wellbeing Assessment.
Once you have completed the Wellbeing Assessment, you may be invited to enroll in WebMD health coaching while reviewing your results. You may also call WebMD at 1-888-258-9275 and ask to enroll in coaching.
You and your covered spouse/domestic partner can each earn a $150 deposit (subject to the Live Well incentive maximum as described above) to your 2016 Health Reimbursement Account or Health Savings Account by completing four health coaching sessions by July 31, 2016. See "The Health Accounts" in the Medical and Prescription Drug section for additional details regarding health accounts. If you complete four health coaching sessions after July 31, 2016, you will earn a $150 deposit applied to your 2017 Health Reimbursement Account or Health Savings Account. (Those enrolled in the Kaiser, HMSA Hawaii and Aetna International health plans will receive a $150 gift card upon completion of four coaching sessions.)
If you work at BNY Mellon in New York City or Pittsburgh, you can work on-site with a Health Coach at the Live Well Health Center in your building. If you complete four one-on-one on-site health coaching sessions, you will earn the $150.
Only one health coaching incentive may be earned each year; you cannot earn both the WebMD health coaching and the Live Well Health Center health coaching incentive. You must complete all four coaching sessions with the same coaching organization in order to earn your $150 incentive. In other words, you cannot earn your $150 incentive by completing two sessions with a WebMD health coach and then two sessions with a Live Well Health Center coach.
Please note: While covered spouses/domestic partners are eligible to participate in WebMD health coaching, they are not eligible to participate in on-site health coaching at Live Well Health Centers.
Participate in the Health Advantage Program
While your primary care physician is responsible for your medical care, choosing Aetna or UnitedHealthcare as your health plan carrier will provide you with additional support from a specially trained, nurse-led Health Advantage team to help you and your covered family members address a range of chronic health issues.
If you complete an Aetna or UnitedHealthcare Health Advantage Program, or actively engage in and complete a minimum of four Health Advantage sessions with a Health Advantage nurse by July 31, 2016, $150 will be deposited to your 2016 Health Reimbursement Account or Health Savings Account. Your covered spouse/domestic partner may also earn a $150 incentive if he or she completes a program. The Wellbeing Assessment must be completed before you or your covered spouse/domestic partner can earn the incentive.
The Health Advantage Program incentive may be earned once per program year by you (and your covered spouse/domestic partner) in addition to the WebMD or Live Well health coaching incentive.
Those enrolled in the Kaiser Health Plan, HMSA Hawaii and Aetna International are not eligible to receive the Health Advantage incentive.
Obtain a Best Doctors InterConsultation for Selected Musculoskeletal Procedures
Surgical procedures related to cervical disc disease, lumbar disc disease, degenerative joint disease of the hip and degenerative joint disease of the knee often result in varying degrees of success. Best Doctors InterConsultation (second surgical opinion) service is available for those contemplating these procedures, providing an added level of treatment decision support and peace of mind.
If you or your covered spouse/domestic partner completes an InterConsultation for one of these selected musculoskeletal conditions, $150 will be deposited to your 2016 Health Reimbursement Account or Health Savings Account. The Wellbeing Assessment must be completed before you or your covered spouse/domestic partner can earn the incentive. (Those enrolled in the Kaiser, HMSA Hawaii and Aetna International health plans will receive a $150 gift card.)
The Best Doctors Musculoskeletal incentive may be earned more than once per program year by you (and your covered spouse/domestic partner) in addition to other Live Well incentives.
