Preventive Care Incentive Program (PCIP)

Effective May 2027 an additional $50 premium differential applies to each UTHealth Houston employee or spouse without a preventive care exam by February 28, 2027.

Your health plan is designed to support you in staying well, not just when you’re sick. That’s why you have access to a no-cost annual preventive exam with your in-network doctor. To make it easier for our employees to practice self-care, UTHealth Houston provides 8 hours of Preventive leave per year as an incentive for faculty and staff to take advantage of their free preventive care appointments.

They will never try to sell you anything

Today's financial landscape is challenging. Rising costs, economic uncertainty, and changing financial demands can make it difficult to feel confident about the road ahead. While you can't control interest rates, inflation, or broader economic shifts, you can control how you respond. Building financial awareness, making intentional choices, and taking small steps toward your goals can help reduce stress, increase confidence, and strengthen your overall financial wellbeing.

Take a Closer Look at Your Finances

Consider whether your current spending aligns with your financial goals. Are there purchases you could reduce or eliminate? Are you making the most of money-saving opportunities, such as discounts, library programs, or community resources? Small changes, like bringing lunch to work one more day each week, can add up over time. Another simple strategy is to review recurring subscriptions and memberships. Canceling or downgrading even one or two subscriptions you no longer need can free up money each month that can be directed to other financial priorities.

If you've already made adjustments and still feel financially stretched, you're not alone. That's where the Financial Guide team can help.
