Please refer to the pro-rated incentive plan found on page 9 in this guide. 4 4 5 Understanding the Qscore Health can be difficult to gauge. Our bodies are complex organisms, made up of almost 100 different organs and trillions of cells. Each day we make decisions and encounter situations that can help or hurt our health, and often the impact of these decisions goes unnoticed until it’s too late. That’s why Kersh has created the Qscore. Here is how it works: 1. First, you complete a short health assessment to help us understand more about you. 2. Once we receive your assessment, we combine it with your biometrics (if applicable) to generate your Qscore. 3. Each participant receives a Qscore between 1—100. This number represents where you are in line to see a doctor. An individual with a lower Qscore will be towards the front of the line to see a doctor and will need medical attention before an individual with a higher Qscore. 4. Each participant will also receive an Optimum Qscore. This represents where you could be in the line if changes were made to your lifestyle (i.e. stop smoking, lowered cholesterol level, began exercising). Note: You will immediately receive a Qscore after completing your Qscore Assessment online. Your Qscore will be updated with your biometric results (if applicable) once received. You will receive an email notifying you of this update. Qscore Report Your customized Qscore Report will be available online immediately after completion of the online Qscore Assessment. As biometric results (if applicable) are received, your report will be updated. Kersh will notify you by email once your report has been updated. To view your report, please follow the instructions below. 1. Log on to www.KershHealth.com and click on the Qscore icon on the left side of your screen. 2. Scroll down to Step 2 and click “View Your Qscore Report”. Inside your Qscore Report you will find your current Qscore, your Optimum Qscore, and an overall health summary broken down into 6 categories. The Qscore Report has been color coded to help you quickly identify areas where improvement is needed. Pay special attention to caution and danger areas. In each category, suggestions are given on how to improve your health. As improvements are made in each of these categories, your overall Qscore will increase and bring you closer to your Optimum Qscore. Throughout this guide you will see programs and tools which have been designed to help you improve your Qscore and your overall health. 5 5 Biometrics Current Employees: During the annual enrollment process, on-site testing will be performed at most work locations. Biometric Testing is optional, however it is highly encouraged. Testing takes about 15 minutes and all results are confidential. The tests consist of: Height Weight Blood Pressure BMI Blood Lipids Blood Sugar Remember to fast at least 8 hours before testing, however, you may continue to drink water and take your prescribed medications Bring your Qscore Certificate of Completion with you to testing Testing dates will be posted around your office and on StanNet If you are unable to attend on-site biometric testing, you may use the Biometric Testing Form located on StanNet to report results from testing conducted at your physician’s office. New Hires/Status Change/Life Events after October 1, 2012: Biometric results may be submitted to Kersh for bonus incentive points by using the Biometric Results Form found on StanNet.

Refer to the full incentive plan in your 2014 benefit guide. 9 9 Exercise KAM Device The Kinetic Activity Monitor (KAM) is an accelerometer designed to measure human activity. Rather than tracking steps, the KAM records the intensity, duration and frequency of your daily activity. Monthly exercise incentive points are earned by reaching your daily KAM goals. There are three tiers that can be achieved. Requirement Incentive Points Tier 1 15—25 KAM points per day for at least 15 days/month 6 pts/month Tier 2 26— 30 KAM points per day for at least 15 days/month 9 pts/month Tier 3 31+ KAM points per day for at least 15 days/month 12 pts/month Achieve all 15 days within a tier to receive the incentive points for that tier. If the minimum Tier 1 is not met then you will receive 0 pts for that month. KAM credit awarded for ANY reason (broken KAM, lost KAM, disability) will only be credited at Tier 1 level. Contact KAM customer service immediately if your KAM is broken or lost. Proper way to wear KAM Device: The KAM should be worn on the waist, in-line with the knee. During an activity where your hips are stationary, i.e. using a stationary bike or elliptical trainer, the KAM should be worn on the shoe or sock. The KAM is not waterproof. For activities not monitored by the KAM, i.e. swimming or weight lifting, you may log your activities using the Activity Log. See KAM Device Alternative section below. New Wellness Participants: New participants who enroll by November 29, 2012 will receive their KAM device in the mail by end of December. New participants who enroll after November 29, 2012 will receive their KAM device approximately 2 weeks after completing the online Qscore Assessment. KAM Customer Service: (877) 525—5526 or Email: [email protected] KAM Device Alternative We encourage you to wear the KAM device as your method of measuring your activity level; however, logging your activity online is an available option. Below are a few items to know regarding logging activity: Activity may be logged online at www.mykamunity.com. Activity can only be logged for the prior 60 days. The highest tier possible for logged activity is Tier 1. KAM points and logged activity in the same day will not be added together. 45 minutes or more of daily activity needs to be logged to receive tier 1 credit. Please note: The KAM Challenge requires the use of the KAM device. 10 10 Education/Challenges/Prevention 11 Education Quarterly Education Incentive Points may be earned by all participants the following two ways beginning January 1, 2013: 1.
