For Your Health
Medical Plan Coverage | Preventive Care Incentives
The early part of the year is a good time to schedule your preventive care services. These services are covered at 100% under your Pearson-sponsored medical plan as long as you use in-network providers. And why not get paid for doing so?
Under the medical plans administered by Anthem and Aetna you can receive once per calendar year a:
  • $100 gift card for having a physical/well woman exam
  • $100 gift card for taking a health assessment
In addition, if you are enrolled in the Supplemental Medical Plans, you are eligible to receive once per calendar year:
  • Critical Illness – a $50 health screening per employee and per spouse/partner
    • Health screenings include colonoscopies, mammograms, pap smears, PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) tests, stress tests, HIV tests (NAT), and more
    • Read the Critical Illness brochure to see what screenings are included
  • Accident Insurance – $50 wellness benefit per employee, spouse/partner and dependent child
    • Health screenings include COVID-19 screening, annual physicals, pap smears, PSA tests, immunizations, and more
    • Review the Group Accident Insurance brochure to understand what screenings are included and how to submit for reimbursement

401(k) | Increase Your Savings
With the Annual Compensation Review cycle coming to a close, now is a good time to revisit your deferrals into the 401(k) plan. As a reminder, you can contribute from 1% – 50% of your eligible compensation, up to the annual Internal Revenue Service (IRS) contribution limit ($23,000 in 2024) or compensation limit ($345,000 in 2024), whichever is met first. Under the 401(k), you can make pre-tax contributions, Roth contributions, and/or true after-tax contributions.
And, if you will be age 50 in 2024 or are currently over age 50, you can take advantage of the Catch-up Contribution limit and contribute an additional $7,500 this year. To review your deferrals, visit Empower online or call 1-844-465-4455.
