SMP Wellness Program

My Favorites

We offer a wellness program through Anthem to help employees in our medical plans stay healthy and save money.

The wellness program gives you the chance to lower your medical premiums by taking just one simple step to care for your health: an annual preventive care exam. Preventive care and routine screenings are the best way for you to stay on top of your health and prevent bigger health problems down the road. View the current preventive care schedule here. 2027 information will be shared once available.

Exams completed after October 15, 2026 will apply to the 2028 wellness incentive. Schedule your visit early so you don’t miss the next deadline. You (and your spouse, if covered under our medical plan) must complete your annual preventive exam between October 16, 2026 and October 16, 2027 to avoid an increase in premiums in 2027. Please note: our medical plan allows for one annual physical per year; it does not require 12 months between appointments.

If you were hired on or after July 15, you do not have to complete the program to lower your premiums in the following calendar year.

Know What’s Covered Before Your Visit

Know What’s Covered Before Your Visit

Under SMP’s medical plans, eligible preventive care is covered at 100% when you see an in-network provider and the care meets current ACA preventive care guidelines. Coverage depends on factors such as your age, medical history, the services provided, and how your provider bills the visit. Additional tests, screenings, or services ordered during a preventive visit may be subject to cost sharing.

You are encouraged to:

  • Confirm your provider is in-network before your visit and verify the appointment is scheduled as a preventive wellness exam.
  • Discuss recommended labs and screenings with your provider and confirm with Anthem (or your medical carrier) that the services are covered at 100% under their plan.
  • Contact Anthem or your medical carrier with questions regarding coverage for specific tests or services.
