Important Information and Reminders:

​

• New Health Plan Participants – If you (or your spouse) are new to the Health Plan - due to Open Enrollment, as a New Hire, or due to a Qualifying Life Event, you are required to complete Steps 1, 2 and 3 of the Comprehensive Health Review (CHR) process within 120 days from your effective date of coverage to receive the HRA incentive, maintain the 2025 Preferred Premium, AND earn the 2026 Preferred Premium. This is the only time you can earn the 2026 Preferred Premium.

​

• Biometric Screening - As we do each year, biometric screenings will be scheduled to take place on the Harahan, Baltimore, and Hammond campuses. Details in the Biometric Screening document linked below.

​

• CHR Deadline – For 2026, the deadline to complete Steps 1, 2 and 3 of the CHR process is October 15, 2025. Note: Step 3 only required this year for employees/ spouses if the employee’s last name starts with M-Z. See inside for more details on the CHR process. Note: If new to the plan, CHR must be completed within 120 days, regardless of last name.

​

• Annual Physical – You can use your annual preventive physical to satisfy Step 3 (Health Review Visit) of the CHR process. Remember, the annual preventive physical is paid for 100% by the health plan but you must submit the enclosed Verification Form to receive credit for the visit. As always, you can continue to schedule your Health Review Visit with your favorite Marathon Nurse Practitioner.

​

• 2025 Non-Preferred Premium – For those that choose not to complete the Preferred Premium Process in 2025, the non-preferred premium for 2026 will remain at $50 per month or $100 per month if both the employee and participating spouse decide not to complete the process.
