Important Information Regarding Preventative Screenings (not including annual physical)
Please upload the preventative screenings into the Health Advocate system. This includes cervical, mammogram, vision, dermatology, colonoscopy and prostate screenings. Click on Receive preventative screenings on your home page To-Do list and you will see where it says to upload and put in the date.
This does not include your annual physical examination which still is sent to me.
Thanks!
Login to Health Advocate to start accumulating points
Please check the 18-19 BeHIP tab for directions to log in or register on the Health advocate site to start earning points.
Health Advocate Site and Points
Yes you are still seeing last year’s points. They will close down tomorrow night. They had to open up the system to finish a reporting tool for me, so continue to track as normal and on Friday, September 1st, you will see your normal point totals for the 17-18 year. Sorry for the confusion.
Health Advocate Login
We have changed the login slightly as everyone is now under one organization which makes it easier for me to run challenges with the full group.
Login Directions:
Go go Healthadvocate.com (do not use the previous members.healthadvocate.com)
Click on Member login up top right or down below in middle
Use Organization LCIC (do not put school anymore)
Type in your username and password
If you are having difficulty, please try using another browser. If that doesn’t work, please contact 1-866-695-8622. That is the health advocate number and they should be able to help you.
Have a wonderful summer.

BeHIP incentive checks are taxable
Federal guidelines state that incentive money from wellness programs are considered as income and must be taxed. Most districts/Penn College will be paying through payroll as we must follow federal guidelines. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me. We want to make sure that this program stays in place and continues to grow which means we must be in compliance with all rules and regulations.
