Wellness Program

What does Hertz mean by “wellness”?

Wellness is about more than just your physical health. It’s about all of you: your financial wellness, emotional happiness, and how involved you are in your community. Hertz cares about you and your family and we want every aspect of your life to be fulfilling. That’s what wellness means at Hertz.

What is the Wellness Program?

The Wellness Program is a mutual commitment to wellness, not only to enhance our lives, but we’re better able to manage health care costs. The healthier you are, the less you and Hertz spend on medical expenses.

You and your covered spouse/domestic partner enrolled in a UMR medical plan can both earn a wellness discount to reduce your monthly medical premium for the upcoming plan year. We are currently revising the Hertz Wellness Program. Be on the lookout for updates in the coming weeks with more details.

Who can participate?

You and your spouse/domestic partner enrolled in a Hertz medical plan through UMR can participate. If you’re not enrolled in a Hertz medical plan through UMR, you cannot participate. However, you can take advantage of other Hertz wellness benefits and programs like the EAP (if you have Basic Life Insurance) and our Tobacco Cessation Program.

If you live in Hawaii, you’re not eligible for this program because you have a different wellness program through Kaiser. But you may still take advantage of some of the other wellness benefits and programs such as EAP and the tobacco cessation program, and even some Kaiser-specific programs. Click here for more information.

I’m a new hire. Can I earn a monthly wellness discount?

If you’re a new hire, you and your covered spouse/domestic partner can each earn a $50/month wellness discount (so $100/month total for both) for the current plan year if you get a well care exam (annual physical) within 60 days of your effective date of UMR medical coverage. If you had your exam within six months before your enrollment date, you may attest to having the exam to meet this requirement. The wellness discount will begin on the first paycheck as soon as it is administratively possibly.

To earn the wellness discount for the following year, you and your covered spouse/domestic partner must complete the requirements for all covered employees. We are currently revising the Hertz Wellness Program. Be on the lookout for updates in the coming weeks with more details.

Are there other wellness resources aside from the Wellness Program with Hertz?

Yes! You can even use some of these resources without being enrolled in a Hertz medical plan.

  • Plan Advisor + Care Connect can help you reduce medical and prescription drug out-of-pocket costs while helping you improve your wellbeing. Think of them as your personal team of nurses, benefit experts and claims specialists who will do all they can to support your unique health care needs. (You’ll need to be enrolled in a Hertz medical plan through UMR in the United States mainland to use this resource.)
  • Perks at Work gives you access to many health and wellness resources, like fitness center membership discounts, health electronics discounts, vitamin and supplement discounts, grocery delivery discounts, and more! Learn more or start shopping if you already have an account.
  • Hertz’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) through The Hartford is available to employees with Basic Life Insurance and all members of their household at no cost. Get confidential counseling and relationship support, and use the many other web-based resources to help with any concerns that could affect you, your family, or your job. Learn more.

And did you know? If you’re enrolled in Hertz Critical Illness or Accident Insurance through The Hartford, you can earn a cash Health Screening Benefit. See the Benefits eGuide to learn more.

Does Hertz offer smoking cessation help?

Yes, all employees and spouses/domestic partners enrolled in a Hertz medical plan are eligible for the Tobacco Cessation Program.

Call (800) 207-7680 to speak to a UMR health coach. You’ll be connected with an expert, certified tobacco cessation coach.
