Blueprint for Wellness® (BFW) and HealthQuotient (HQ) Deadlines Extended

Due to COVID-19, the end dates for BFW and HQ participation have been extended through September 30, 2020. If your conference is able to reschedule your BFW onsite event, we will work with you on coordination of dates and materials. If you are cancelling this year's event or never had one scheduled, once social distancing guidelines have been relaxed, please encourage your participants to schedule their individual test at a Quest Diagnostics facility through the HealthFlex/WebMD website, by clicking on "Quest Diagnostics Blueprint for Wellness" in the grey bar. Quest facilities remain open during this time, but most participants may wish to wait to schedule their screenings. The Blueprint for Wellness toolkit pieces on the extranet will be updated to reflect the new dates shortly. Social posts reflecting the new dates will also be on our Facebook and Twitter pages for you to easily share on your conference pages, and the updated dates will be shared with participants via e-blast.

CARES Act Provisions

An eblast will be going to all participants this week detailing the latest COVID-19-related information from Wespath, including the CARES Act summary. Among the new CARES Act provisions is an allowance for HSA, FSA and HRA funds to be used for menstrual products and over-the-counter medications such as aspirin without a prescription. WageWorks will be communicating with account holders directly about this new provision as well.

Visit the Wespath.org Coronavirus page to find the CARES Act summaries and more information about these provisions.
