You can save on your insurance costs every year with two levels of rewards:

1. You will receive your first reward by simply having a physical, by your doctor, every two years.

2. You will save even more when you have your physical and maintain your weight within a range determined at policy issue.

That's it. To see your personal weight range, use the Wellness Range Finder.

Questions and answers

Q: I'm overweight. Is Wellness for Life for me?
A: Yes. In fact, if you anticipate your premiums might be higher because of your weight, your rewards could be greater, because your savings are a percentage of your life insurance costs.

Q: What happens if I gain weight outside of my permitted range?
A: Even if you gain weight outside of your permitted range, you'll save half the percentage you would have if you stayed within your weight range.

Q: Will Aviva have access to my health records?
A: No. Aviva will not have access to any personal information gathered as a result of the Mayo Clinic Health Assessment. The only information we ask for is your doctor certified weight (at least every two years) to determine your qualification for level two rewards.

Q: Is Wellness for Life available to current life insurance policyholders?
A: No. Wellness for Life is only available on select new life policies. It's unlawful to re-assess or re-underwrite a policyholder, so we cannot add it to current policies.

Q: Will my premiums go up or down as my health changes?
A: No. Aviva will not be re-evaluating your health risk or re-underwriting your policy. Nor is it lawful to do so. These benefits are meant to be used only by you for assessing and tracking your health.

Q: When will my benefits be available?
A: The Mayo Clinic EmbodyHealth Web site is available as soon as you receive your log-in information, a few weeks after your policy takes effect. If you meet the criteria outlined in "Your Rewards," in the second year of your policy, your cost reductions will take effect in the third year.

Q: What happens if I stop going to the doctor and reporting my weight?
A: You'll lose the Rewards for that time period, but you retain the Mayo Clinic services, and you can always restart your Rewards at any time by sending in your Wellness qualification form.
