How To Track

Documentation Process

Once you have signed up for Level Up, you will be added to the Level Up Microsoft Teams account.  

Step 1: Track your points on the live spreadsheet in Teams. This can be done at any time.
Step 2: Attach required files for documentation using the JotForm link in Teams. These files go ONLY to Jessica Dill, they are not accessible by anyone else. Hold on to your files and submit them all at one time, at the end of the year.

All points must be tracked and documented by the program participant and submitted by April 30, 2024 to receive participation incentive for the 2023-2024 year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand
titleDo we submit our information throughout the year or do we do it all at once at the end of the year?

The points tracker can be utilized and updated as often as you'd like. It is located in the Level Up Teams account. The form you submit for documentation purposes should ONLY be submitted once, at the end of the year, with all of your documentation. Jessica Dill will send a reminder email to do so. 

Expand
titleI am a member of a Choctaw Wellness Center. Will my membership card work for documentation purposes or do I need to request something else?

You can request a printed proof of membership from your local Choctaw Wellness Center.

Expand
titleThere was talk of possible Choctaw Wellness memberships for all employees. What was the outcome?

Although we had hoped this was something we would be able to provide to all employees, our request was denied. All employees still have the opportunity to join any gym and earn points, though! 

Expand
titleI had some routine doctor visits prior to July 1. Can I still count that for points in Level Up?

Unfortunately, we had to mark a certain start date for all documentation purposes and it was decided to keep it at July 1 for ease of transition from year to year. Therefore, you are not able to use appointments prior to July 1 in a given year for Level Up points. 

Expand
titleFor degree completion, do we get the points allotted if we have already completed additional education?

You must complete the degree within the Level Up program year to earn these points. 

Expand
titleI have completed leadership programs in the past (LEADership KTC, etc.). Will I receive points for those?

Leadership programs must be completed within the Level Up program year to earn points. Annual conferences do not count as leadership programs.

Expand
titleCan we use the steps counter on a FitBit, Apple watch, or Android watch?

Yes, you can use a tracker of your choice. 

Expand
titleWill you accept documentation from another insurance company if the employee doesn't use HealthChoice?

Yes, however, we do not want to see your medical information. Only proof of examination.

Expand
titleWhat can we redeem our Level Up points on?

Points will be redeemable for anything on the Kiamichi Tech online store. There is even a tab with health and wellness related items!

If you ever had ideas for new items for the online store, reach out to Jessie Phillips at jphillips@ktc.edu.
