As a reminder to everyone: in order to remain on the HEP you must complete certain healthcare exams during a calendar year (exams are listed below, the frequency of the exams is age/gender dependent so not every exam needs to be done annually).

Additionally, if you have a "chronic condition", then you must complete the education portion of HEP annually as well.
