Wellness Programs (continued) Colonoscopy - Having a colonoscopy can be an inconvenient two day task, which can potentially save your life. CSHL allows you a paid wellness day off for you to have a preventative colonoscopy or for you to take your spouse/domestic partner (covered under your United Healthcare plan) for a preventative colonoscopy. In addition to the paid wellness day you also receive a $25.00 gift card after the completion of your own colonoscopy. To be eligible for the day off and to receive the gift card you will need to provide a note from your doctor with the date of the exam to the Benefits Department in Luke.
