How to be compliant*
You must set up monthly appointments with the Palmetto Proactive practitioner at your location (regional employees: with the Palmetto Proactive practitioner that has been assigned to you). It is YOUR responsibility to initiate these monthly appointments. If you do not comply with your monthly appointments, you will NOT receive free medications. You and your Palmetto Proactive practitioner will set goals once you initiate your first appointment.
* Compliancy is tracked once a quarter. For example: If you do NOT make your MONTHLY appointments for January, February and March (all three months, not one, not two) – you will NOT receive your FREE medications for April, May, June.
Together, we can accomplish these goals by learning about healthy lifestyles choices, taking advantage of annual physicals, wellness checkups, and working to control the costs associated with our medical insurance program.
It is important that you understand from the start, J M Smith Corporation will not have access to your medical records. You will maintain strict privacy between you and your healthcare professional and health coach.
If it is unreasonably difficult for you to participate in any of our wellness programs, please see HR, and we will work with you to find an alternate.
