REMINDER: Sign Up for Castlight Online Tool by April 30 for Chance to Win Year of Premium-Free Health Care
The University of Cincinnati recently launched Castlight, a personalized healthcare tool that helps you compare doctors, medical services, and facilities by cost and quality. Castlight gives you the information you need to find the best healthcare for you and your family through your Anthem medical plan.
Castlight is available to UC employees, spouses/domestic partners and dependents age 18 and older enrolled in a UC Anthem medical plan.
Those who register for Castlight will be eligible to win a prize of premium free health care for 12 months.
In other words, the university will cover your share of your monthly or biweekly medical premium. (Your premium is the portion currently deducted from your UC paycheck to pay your share for your healthcare insurance.) That prize will be awarded following the
April 30 deadline
for eligibility for the prize.
