5/15/14 I have my "wellness massapequa park visit" in December each year. If I try to schedule it earlier our insurance does not pay for it. I had the same problem massapequa park scheduling massapequa park my mammo last year, not even a day earlier. WHAT TO DO? HELP? May 15, 2014 at 10:05 AM

Thank you for your question regarding eligibility for the 2015 Wellness Pledge Credits. Yes, you have to enroll in North Shore-LIJ's 2015 Value or Buy-Up medical plan to receive the paycheck credits in 2015. If you change your mind and decide to enroll in the NS-LIJ medical plan during November's Open Enrollment - you will have 6 months to complete your pledges, once your plan is active in January 2015. If you comply within 6 months you will receive the full $260 paycheck credits for each pledge in 2015. If you do not comply your paycheck credits will cease in six months. May 27,
