APG offers up to 32% weekly off of standard weekly health insurance payroll deductions as part of an initiative to help employees and their family members achieve lasting improvements in their health and wellness. Here’s what is required to be eligible for the discount:
Step 1) Visit your primary care doctor for a preventative wellness check-up. All covered employees and dependents age 18 and over must visit their doctor for a wellness visit in order to be eligible for the wellness discount. For those who have difficulty scheduling a screening during a busy work week, you also have the option of a virtual screening through MDLive. Have your doctor sign the Physician Verification Form at the time of your visit, and return the form to HR. This form can be obtained from HR or in the Employee Portal. For virtual screenings, a digital confirmation of your visit can be submitted. No medical information should be submitted to HR.
Step 2) Submit completion of monthly wellness goals. We allow each individual to choose a monthly goal or fitness activity from the options below, which include regular exercise, daily step goals, or nutrition. All covered members ages 18 and over must participate in order to receive the weekly discount. If you have a medical condition that prevents you from meeting your usual goal, please contact our Wellness Director Don Lew for suggestions on alternative activities and health-related goals.
The exercise and nutrition goals have a set weekly requirement. We know sometimes sickness, injury, or other unexpected events can derail your fitness plans. We do allow a change in goals mid-month as long as the weekly requirement is still met. Step goals cannot be combined with other goals, since the requirement is monthly.
See below for monthly submission options. To submit your completed wellness goals, email a screen shot from an app or website that you use to track your goal, or you can submit one of our downloadable training calendars below.
Screenshots or calendars with your completed goals should be submitted by the last day of the month. Send all submissions to wellness@apg.company.
Your weekly discount will be applied the first payroll week of the month following submission by the employee and all covered dependents age 18 or older. Please review the attached Frequently Asked Questions. If you have further questions regarding this discount program, email HRTeam@apg.company.

step countWhile most experts recommend 10,000 steps every day for the best health benefits, 7,500 steps indicates a non-sedentary lifestyle.

Any fitness tracker can be used to track daily steps, such as products from FitBit, Apple, Garmin, etc. If you need assistance changing your step goals on your specific tracker, please reach out to wellness@apg.company.
