Get Castlight and Earn Points

Castlight is your go-to for exploring Abbott programs that support your physical and emotional well-being. A spouse/domestic partner covered on an Abbott medical plan may also access resources through Castlight.

How to Get Castlight

  1. Create an account at mycastlight.com/abbott. You’ll need the following:
    • Email address (personal or work)
    • First and last name
    • Date of birth
    • Abbott UPI; spouses/domestic partners who are not Abbott employees add an “S” to the end of the employee’s number (ex: 1234567S), unless you are also an Abbott employee. In that case, create your account using your personal UPI (do not add an “S”) and when asked if you work for Abbott, select “No, I am a dependent.”

All U.S. employees are eligible to create a Castlight account and earn points, regardless of enrollment in an Abbott medical plan. If your spouse/domestic partner is covered on an Abbott medical plan this year, they can create an account, too. If you are enrolling your spouse or domestic partner in Abbott medical coverage for 2026 for the first time, they can create a Castlight account starting in January 2026.

Newly hired U.S. employees and their spouses/domestic partners are eligible to create a Castlight account; however, you will need to first complete your 2026 New Hire Enrollment within your first 31 days of your date of hire. Castlight will receive your eligibility after submitting your elections. You will be able to create an account approximately 7 business days after that date. If you do not receive the “Your Account is Ready” email from Castlight after 31 days from your date of hire or the date of being added to Abbott Medical Coverage, please contact Castlight Support at 844-711-7113.

HOW TO EARN 2027 WELLNESS CREDIT

All U.S. employees and spouses/domestic partners enrolled in a 2026 Abbott medical plan are eligible to earn a 2027 wellness credit toward their 2027 medical plan contributions. Complete a single qualifying preventive care visit between October 1, 2025 and September 30, 2026, to save $300 on 2027 medical plan contributions (or $600 if your covered spouse/partner completes a visit, too).

QUALIFYING PREVENTIVE CARE VISITS:

  • Well Visit with a Primary Care Provider (PCP)
  • Breast cancer screening
  • Cervical cancer screening
  • Colorectal cancer screening
  • Osteoporosis screening
  • Prostate cancer screening

NOTE: Employees and covered spouses/partners may still complete the Health Assessment or Quest Biometric Health Screening, but they are NOT activities to earn the wellness credit toward medical plan contributions.

WHAT IS CONSIDERED A PREVENTIVE CARE VISIT?

Only preventive-coded medical claims are eligible for a wellness credit. If you discuss other medical issues with your provider during your visit, the claim may not be coded as “preventive.” Coverage can vary, so always confirm your specific coverage in advance.

Preventive Care Visit (Eligible for credit)

  • This type of visit is for a normal (routine) health check-up (screening).
  • Your doctor focuses on helping you to have good health by telling you things you can do to lower your chances of having health problems.
  • The new laws require most insurance companies to pay for some types of health screenings. You should check with your insurance company about what your plan might cover.

Office Visit (NOT Eligible for credit)

  • This type of a visit is to see your doctor because you are sick, you have a new health problem, or to follow up with your doctor on an existing condition.
  • Office visits may include talking about changes in your health and what to do about it (for example, you might need to change your medication, have a test, or see a different type of doctor that is a specialist).

Preventive Care Visit WITH an Office Visit (Confirm coverage with your provider)

  • During your preventive care visit, if you talk to your doctor about being sick, a new health problem, or an existing condition that requires treatment, you might have to pay for part of this visit.
  • Confirm coverage with your provider for preventive care eligibility.

COMMON FAQS

Is the credit showing in Castlight for 2026 or 2027? How do I know if I received the 2026 credit?

    The wellness credit you see in Castlight now is for your 2027 credit. If you earned a 2026 wellness credit, it is listed on your paycheck.

How long does it take for my 2027 wellness credit to show up?

    After completing your preventive care visit, your Provider will submit the claim to your medical plan for payment, which can take up to 90 days.

Is there a form or questionnaire to fill out for my preventive care visit?

I already completed a preventive care visit under a different medical plan. Who should I contact to see if it counts?

Can my spouse/domestic partner earn a 2027 wellness credit?

    Yes! If your spouse/domestic partner is covered on an Abbott medical plan in 2026, they are eligible to earn a $300 medical plan contribution in 2027. That means, if both you and your covered spouse/partner completes a visit, you can earn $600 on 2027 medical plan contributions.

    Note: Castlight will only display an individual’s wellness credit total.

Why do I see December 31 listed as the deadline in Castlight?

    Castlight shows the deadline for them (Castlight) to receive verification that the preventive care visit was completed by September 30, 2026. Verification varies by medical plan, so please see the section above for more details.

If I am not enrolled in an Abbott medical plan now, but I elect coverage for 2027, can I still earn the 2027 wellness credit?

    No. Employees and their spouse/domestic partners enrolled in a 2027 Abbott medical plan are eligible to earn the 2028 wellness credit toward their 2028 medical plan contributions.

How to Get Your Biometric Screening

Complete a free and confidential biometric screening through Quest Diagnostics. This simple blood draw will help you identify risks and areas for improvement.

Use your Castlight account to book your Quest Biometric Screening at a local Patient Service Center. Sign into Castlight and select Benefits > Quest Diagnostics to make your appointment.

While you can earn Castlight points for completing a biometric screening through Quest Diagnostics, it does not qualify as a preventive care visit and will not earn a wellness credit.

HOW TO GET A FLU SHOT

A flu shot is a simple way to protect yourself and those around you from the flu.

Abbott medical plan participants and their covered dependents can visit their in-network physician or an in-network convenient care clinic for their free flu shot. If you go out-of-network, your flu shot is covered once you meet your deductible and pay coinsurance. Contact your medical plan provider to learn more and access your free preventive benefits. If you’re in the HIP PPO or Traditional PPO plans, call the Abbott Care Coordinators at 888-614-1011.

YOUR PRIVACY IS ALWAYS PROTECTED

All of the information in your Castlight account is completely confidential. Abbott will not have access to your personal health information. The only information that will be shared with Castlight is that a preventive care visit was completed. No details on the type of screening or visit are ever shared with Abbott or Castlight. One of the reasons Abbott partners with Castlight, an independent company, is to help you feel confident that personal results will not be reported to Abbott.
