The mission of TU Wellness is to create and maintain a culture of holistic health and wellness for all employees through health education and wellness activities. Eligible employees can earn incentives by participating throughout the calendar year. Tulane’s wellness platform, WellRight, is an easy way to learn more about your health and earn incentives.
Annual Health Incentive
Complete a combination of activities (e.g., annual physical, health risk assessment, fitness challenges, etc.) to earn rewards. Individual plan members can earn up to $500; employees covering dependents can earn up to $1,000.
- For Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) and HDHP/HSA participants, rewards are deposited into your HealthEquity account.
