  • At this time, there is no requirement for an annual physical exam and no premium surcharge is being applied for the current plan year.

    Both the District and NEA-Topeka HIGHLY RECOMMEND that employees receive routine preventive care, including annual physical exams. Routine Physical Exams are important because: 

    •  Personal health and early detection-
      Routine preventive exams help identify health concerns or chronic conditions early, often before symptoms appear. Early detection can improve long-term health outcomes and reduce complications.
    •  Supporting the District’s health insurance costs- 
      Preventive care can lead to fewer high-cost medical and prescription claims over time. Lower claims help manage rising premiums and protect the affordability of the District’s health insurance plan for all employees.

     Employees are also encouraged to upload proof of their physical exam to the BCBS Strive Portal so it is documented in the event it is needed in the future.
