The Trust Fund’s HRQ Is Your Ticket to Better Health

What
The UFCW & Employers Benefit Trust Fund’s Health Risk Questionnaire (HRQ) is a fun and informative way to earn up to $250 credit toward medical costs just for learning about your health. It’s completely confidential and it’s easy to do.

What’s more, the HRQ could be the single most important thing you do for your health this year.

“HRQ” stands for Health Risk Questionnaire. You are asked simple health questions about such factors as your lifestyle, your diet, and exercise choices.

Why
Two good reasons.

Reason No. 1: Your Health. The HRQ lets you take stock of what’s going on with your health and what you can do about it. You will see firsthand just what you can do to start living healthy. The HRQ provides you with specific information customized to your answers, but it also provides the opportunity to talk to a doctor about your personal healthcare questions, if you choose. And it’s completely confidential.

Reason No. 2: Your Reward. The Trust Fund is taking a good-faith step on your behalf. This means a credit directly into your Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) just for completing the HRQ!
· $200 credit if you complete your Health Risk Questionnaire (HRQ)
· $50 additional credit if your spouse or enrolled domestic partner also completes an HRQ

The Trust Fund believes in you and wants you to succeed in fulfilling your healthy potential. The HRQ is provided by MedExpert, a trusted partner that has helped thousands of UFCW members improve their healthcare. In short, this HRQ is an ideal platform from which to launch a healthier you!

When
Complete the HRQ before March 1, 2009 to claim your credit. You can take the online version any time of day or night, and it takes only about 10 minutes to complete. The feedback is immediate, and you can also have your results emailed to you. After that, you can expect to see your reward appear in your HRA account within 45 days.
