Good health and wellness is an essential part of our lives and critical components of our medical plan. We are committed to helping you learn more about your health. One way to learn more about your health is through our biometrics campaigns. Biometric screenings are one way we are working towards our vision of the healthiest and safest population. It is also a way to help health plan members find out if there might be any health risks, issues or concerns.

On-site Biometric Events

Mohawk is once again partnering with Quest to bring On-site biometric events to locations with 30 or more employees during February, March and April. Employees are encouraged to take advantage of this convenient and easy way to complete their biometric screening. Now is the time to register for an On-site Biometric event. Medical plan participants and covered spouses who do not complete biometrics testing will receive a surcharge of an additional $28.85 per week or $125 per month on top of the medical premium.

 On-site Biometric Schedule

Contact your HR partner to schedule or schedule online at my.questforhealth.com. The registration key is Mohawk.

What if I can't go to one of the On-site Biometric Events?

If you can't make it to one of the On-site Biometric events, you have other options to get your Biometric screening. See options below:

• Healthy Life Centers (spouses)
• Quest Patient Service Centers

Health Coaching - Tag You're It

At Mohawk, you don’t have to face your wellness journey alone. We make it easy for you to be healthy and live better so you can be your best at home and work. We offer completely confidential health coaching at no cost to you! The Cigna Healthy Life Navigators are knowledgeable, help you see the bigger picture, here for you and can design a custom plan for your health needs. They are here to help guide you on your journey to a healthier lifestyle or better manage chronic conditions.

The health coaching process has been updated to allow those not meeting the standards more opportunity to truly achieve health goals because small changes over time make a big difference. Biometric campaigns become 2-year plans. Year 1—Complete screening (employees and spouses) and start the health coaching process. Year 2—continue engagement with health coaching and education. Both years should include setting and meeting a goal.

Face-to-Face and Telephonic Health Coaching

Some employees and/ or spouses not meeting the standards will be assigned to face-to-face or telephonic health coaching. To help you reach your health goals, a Healthy Life Navigator will work with you and/or your spouse to set personal health goals. They will help give you the tools to achieve or make progress toward your goals each year. The support health coaches provide is totally confidential and is an enhancement Mohawk offers to medical plan participants.

Online Health Coaching

Some employees and spouses will be assigned an online coaching format. Even though you may not be working directly with a Healthy Life Navigator, they have selected members that qualify to participate in this format. Members will also receive educational materials throughout the 2-year campaign.
We want you and your family to be healthier—if tagged for health coaching, you must participate to avoid a wellness surcharge. Remember small changes make a big difference over time!

How do I know what coaching, if any, I will be assigned?

The Benefits Service Center or the Healthy Life Team will reach out to members required to engage in face-to-face or telephonic coaching. Members assigned online health coaching will receive postcards and text messages when the modules have been assigned. It may take up to two weeks for assignment. All members required to engage in health coaching will receive various outreach communications, including phone calls, postcards and text messages. If you aren’t sure if you or your spouse has required health coaching, please contact the BSC at 866-481-4922.

Employees and covered spouses who choose not to work with a health coach, do not make contact with their coach, do not complete online modules or do not complete biometrics testing, will receive a surcharge of an additional $28.85 per week or $125 per month on top of the medical premium.

Mohawk is committed to helping you achieve your best health. All employees can avoid the wellness surcharge by participating in the wellness program described above. If you think you might be unable to meet a standard for avoiding the wellness surcharge under this wellness program, you might qualify for an opportunity to avoid the wellness surcharge by different means. Contact the Benefits Service Center at 1-866-481-4922 and we will work with you (and, if you wish, with your physician) to find a wellness program with the same reward that is right for you in light of your health status.

New Hires or New to the Plan with a Qualifying Life Event

You and your covered spouse must complete a biometric screening within 60 days of your benefit effective date. Employees and covered spouses who do not complete biometrics screening will receive a surcharge of an additional $28.85 per week or $125 per month on top of the medical premium. See details on this page and on the right.

Healthy Lifestyle Support Required for Not Meeting Standards

Members not meeting the recommended biometric standards will be required to engage in healthy lifestyle support via face-to-face, telephonic, virtual or online learning to avoid a wellness surcharge. Members must meet all biometric standards to be considered passing. Please review the numbers (above right).

Where to Go to Complete Your Biometrics

For your convenience, we are offering many ways for you and your spouse to complete your biometric screening.

Quest Patient Service Centers

Employees and spouses may also choose to visit a Quest Patient Service Center. Appointments are not required, but pre-registration is. You may register by logging on to Quest at my.questforhealth.com. You will need your employee ID number and the registration key—Mohawk. Spouses will need to use the employee ID number followed by an “S” (ex: 30124s) to log on and schedule an appointment. If both members are employees at Mohawk, the spouse should use the employee ID (plus “s”) belonging to the primary carrier of the medical plan. You can rescreen every 3 months with Quest. If you haven’t already registered on the Quest website, you must be registered before you can complete a screening. You may also call Quest at 877-304-7055.

To complete your biometrics screening during a wellness visit with your doctor, you will need to register at my.questforhealth.com to be able to download the Quest Physician Results Form. The registration key is Mohawk. Complete the registration form as indicated. Spouse will need to register separately and use the employee ID number followed by an “S” (ex: 30124s). Once registered, you will need to select, “Get started,” and then, “Participate now.” The Physician Results Form is located in the bottom left section of the page.

For your test results to be counted, all fields on the form must be completed by both physician and member where indicated. Forms will be denied if incomplete. Completed forms should be faxed to Quest at the number on the form.  If faxing multiple pages, please send one page per transmission with no cover page.

Biometric Standards

What is a Biometric Screening?

A Biometric Screening is a series of standard health tests such as blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and BMI (body mass index). These help you and your doctor to better understand your health and quickly identify risks.

It is recommended that you fast for 9-12 hours prior to your appointment. This means no eating and only drinking water. Therefore it’s best to schedule your appointment early in the morning.

The results of your biometric screening are completely confidential. Mohawk Industries will not have access to any personal health information.
