Shine Brighter in 2022 with Castlight
Living Well’s partnership with Castlight makes it easier to manage your total health and well-being in one convenient place.
All employees (and spouses/domestic partners covered by a PNC medical option) can access Castlight to take advantage of the 2022 Wellness Rewards Program. If you’re enrolled in a PNC medical option with a PNC BeneFit Plus Health Savings Account (HSA), you can earn up to $800 in your HSA, plus up to an additional $400 if your covered spouse/domestic partner (if applicable) participates. If you’re not enrolled in a PNC medical option or don’t have an associated HSA, you can still earn up to $100 in gift cards.
To get started, pick one of the easy registration options below:
PNC provides confidential resources and support to help you stay healthy or get healthier. PNC gives you free, time-saving ways to take better care of yourself, physically and emotionally.
Well-being coaching is available over the phone or online through GuidanceResources, PNC’s third-party partner. With telephonic coaching, you’re connected with a health coach who will help you set a personalized plan to develop new healthy habits depending on your goals. You’ll talk with your coach on a weekly basis for a few weeks, at a time that fits your schedule. Online coaching allows you to explore a variety of well-being topics and use self-study to develop healthy habits. Tip: Both activities can earn you Wellness Rewards through Castlight.

You and your family members also have access to an online library of information, tools and trackers to help you manage your well-being. Options range from online relaxation webcasts to weight loss trackers and healthy recipes.

Up to seven telephonic, chat, video and/or face-to-face counseling sessions (combined) with a master’s-certified clinician are included per year, per topic, to help you or your family members address emotional and behavioral well-being concerns.

Call the HR Service Center at 877-YOUR-PNC (968-7762), option 1, then say “advocacy” when prompted.
GuidanceResources offers confidential support to help you kick the tobacco habit for good. As an added benefit, when you agree to complete a tobacco cessation program during benefits enrollment for medical coverage, you’ll avoid paying the tobacco user contribution. (Reminder: Vaping is considered tobacco use for purposes of the tobacco user contribution.)
Call GuidanceResources at 888-999-6768 to sign up for and to complete one of the following approved tobacco cessation programs:
Note: If a tobacco user thinks that they are unable to meet the tobacco cessation program requirements described above, they might qualify for an opportunity to avoid the contribution by different means. To explore this option, contact GuidanceResources at 888-999-6768; counselors will work with you (and your doctor, if you wish) to find a program that is appropriate for your health status.
Even if you did not originally elect to complete an approved tobacco cessation program, or you did not complete an approved program by the deadline, it’s not too late. Contact GuidanceResources at any time during the year to start an approved tobacco cessation program. Your per-pay tobacco user contribution will be stopped when the program is complete (as soon as administratively possible), but amounts already paid cannot be refunded.
For additional information, read the FAQs on tobacco user contribution.
Being healthy is about more than just physical wellness. Research shows that being able to manage money and make good financial decisions can increase our sense of well-being and lower stress levels.
