Complete the 2024 beWell Healthy Living Incentive and earn bucks
Employees and their covered spouses can offset health care costs by complete these activities.
If you want to maximize your health savings or health reimbursement account in 2024 to help pay for or reimburse yourself for eligible health care expenses, engage in these activities during the year. Incentives apply to employees who are enrolled in one of the Asante Health Plan options, as well as their enrolled spouses.
To get your incentive, sign into Regence Empower online or through the Regence Empower mobile app.
Age-appropriate preventive exam
These include adult physicals, routine OB/GYN exams, colorectal cancer screenings, cervical cancer screenings, routine mammograms, establish-care visits, preventive dental exams and preventive vision exams. It is not required that you (or your spouse) provide documentation of the exam. When the claim for an eligible exam goes through the benefits, it will be flagged automatically. While a person can have multiple preventive exams in a year, the first one to be flagged will earn the incentive.
Interactive program
To enroll in an interactive program, follow these steps:
- On Regence Empower, open the menu and click on Self-Guided Programs.
- Enroll in an interactive program.
- Complete the six-week program by logging your healthy habits, tracking your progress, checking out the recommended resources, and completing a final assessment.
Interactive programs that qualify for the incentive include: Improving Your Blood Pressure, Managing Your Stress, Improving Your Sleep, Enriching Your Emotional Wellbeing, Achieving Your Healthy Weight, Maintaining Your Healthy Weight, Building Resilience, Enhancing Your Physical Activity, Nutrition for Better Health, Quitting Tobacco, Staying Tobacco Free, Improving Your Oral Health, and Financially Fit.
Once a program has been completed, it will be flagged automatically for the incentive. While a person can complete multiple programs in a year, the first one to be completed will earn the incentive.
Featured challenges
Stay tuned throughout the year to join one of the quarterly challenges available through Regence Empower, then make sure to enroll during the registration period. Once the challenge is live, successfully complete the challenge by “checking in” with an affirmative that you completed the challenge goal at least 15 times for a 21-day challenge or 10 times for a 14-day challenge. The challenges for 2024 include:
- Don’t Lose Your Snooze (21 days), March
- Get Self-Care Aware (21 days), May
- The Bright Side of Outside (21 days), July
- Better Together (14 days), December
On Regence Empower, click Browse All Activities > Challenges or watch the Explore section of the dashboard for the featured challenges. Once a challenge has been completed, it will be flagged automatically for the incentive.
Keep moving
This incentive allows you to earn badges for getting in steps or exercise minutes. Earn one badge for every 500,000 steps or 2,000 minutes of exercise that is synced on your mobile device. Up to five badges can be earned. Every earned badge will be flagged for the incentive.
To get you started (and give you the chance to earn even greater rewards), Regence Empower has launched a Step-by-Step challenge going on now through Feb. 16. Track 10,000 steps a day and be entered to win a $125 gift card from Zappos.
The challenge equals a walk of five miles a day over 22 total days. You can take your daily steps all at once, or sprinkle them throughout the day. Complete the challenge by Feb. 16 and you’re automatically entered for a chance to win the prize. Winners will be chosen on Feb. 23 using a random drawing from all eligible entries.
To get started, sign into Regence Empower online or through the Regence Empower mobile app and go to Challenges > Step-by-Step. If you miss this challenge, there are still plenty of opportunities to track your steps throughout the year.
Designate a primary care provider
If the employee/spouse has designated a primary care provider, complete a short self-attestation through Regence Empower.
On Regence Empower, click My Rewards (at the top), then scroll down to the Designate a Primary Care Provider activity and click Complete Now. Once the form has been complete, it will be flagged for the incentive.
Incentives are generally given four to six weeks after the completion of an eligible activity.
