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
- 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.
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 2025 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 2026 WELLNESS CREDIT
Complete a single qualifying preventive care visit between October 1, 2024 and September 30, 2025, to save $300 on 2026 medical plan contributions (or $600 if your covered spouse/partner completes a visit, too).
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.
How to Prepare for Your Screening
Make sure you’re prepared for your biometric screening so you can get the best results. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Appointments are required – no walk-ins will be allowed.
- Allow 15-20 minutes for your appointment.
- Your height, weight, waist measurement, blood pressure and a blood sample will be taken. The blood draw will be venipuncture.
- You must fast 9-12 hours prior to the screening.
- Take prescribed medications as you normally would.
- Drink plenty of water before your appointment as this helps with your blood draw, but do not have any other beverages (like black regular or decaf coffee, juice, or soda).
- For Patient Service Center appointments, bring your driver’s license to your appointment. The name on your ID will need to match the information in your Quest account in order to attend your appointment. You will not need to provide your insurance card even when the check-in process asks for one.
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.
