• Employees and Dependents must enter your First Name and Last Name into those fields in the HRA as it appears on your medical insurance card.
• Continue answering the questions until you have completed the HRA
• You must print the completion page to take to the Sarasota Memorial Hospital Outpatient Lab at the Waldemere Medical Plaza, 2nd floor - or if you have recently taken the labs below you may enter them yourself. (You only need to enter the lab values once in a year period to qualify. Those labs are: total cholesterol, Hdl, Ldl, Triglycerides and Glucose. (When you take the Completion Page from the HRA to the SMH Lab, you will not need to pay to take the Lab tests.)

Again, to qualify for the additional $100.00 on your next plan year's annual wellness benefit you must complete the HRA, enter your current weight, height, waist size, blood pressure and heart rate along with the 5 lab values. It does not matter where you obtain your blood pressure and heart rate reading, but remember there is a blood pressure station on the second floor in the break-room at City Hall.

At the end of the plan year, if you have satisfied the above qualifications and you are still on one of the City of Sarasota's Insurance Plans you will receive $100 additionally to your Annual Wellness Benefit ($400.00 will go to $500.00).  If you have dependents on your insurance and they are over the age of 18 they are also eligible for this same benefit.
