You spilled your coffee, traffic was a nightmare, and you didn’t sleep well last night–you have every reason to frown! However, a smile can change your interactions with others. A new study finds that when you smile, brain-activity changes make you see other people as happier. This in turn will have others see you in a happier light, too. So, play it forward–smile!
As you know, the 2015 Wellness Plan healthy activities deadline has been extended to 12/31/15!
Participants now have an additional 90 days to complete the activities for 2015:
- Select a primary care physician (PCP)
- Complete the health risk assessment (HRA)
- Review the results of the HRA with your PCP
- Return the signed physician form to your medical plan
Once the activities are completed, PCP copays will be waived through 12/31/15 and you avoid the premium surcharge in 2016!
Visit the state of Maryland employee benefits website for links to the medical plan websites and tips for easy wellness completion.
