Make “Healthy Choices” and get rewarded
Posted on May 27, 2016
Did you know that you get a full range of wellness benefits just for being a member of a Health New England health plan?
As a member, your wellness benefits include:
- An annual preventive well-visit, covered at no cost to you when using an in-network provider
- A yearly wellness/fitness reimbursement (amount may vary depending on plan/employer group election; some self-funded plans do not offer this reimbursement)
- Nutritional counseling with a certified nutritionist (number of visits may vary by plan/group)
- Free help to quit smoking through our smoking cessation program
In addition, you get free online access to the Healthy Directions web portal, powered by WebMD® Health Services. As a member, you can take advantage of many helpful tools to improve your overall health and well-being in a private portal just for you. By logging in at webmdhealth.com/hne, you’ll find a comprehensive health assessment, a digital health assistant, self-management tools, health trackers, healthy recipes and much more.
Healthy Choices Program and Rewards
Aside from the above basic wellness benefits you get as a member, Health New England also offers an enhanced program called Healthy Choices for individual members who purchased a plan through the Connector and for employer groups.*
Healthy Choices is a free online program located on our Healthy Directions web portal at webmdhealth.com/hne that rewards you for being proactive about your health. Healthy Choices is designed to help you gain a better understanding of your health and learn ways to better manage it. By completing a few simple health activities during the year, you earn points towards raffle drawings.
Start by doing the following and earn points towards $25 – $1,000 in rewards:
- Register or log into the Healthy Directions WebMD portal.
- Complete your Health Assessment.
- Complete a Biometrics Screening.
- Participate and successfully complete Health Activities for the current calendar year – including webinars and health challenges.
Reward raffles are held monthly, quarterly and at the end of the year.
Note: Not all employer groups have program access. If you do not see a “Rewards” tab when you log into the portal, then your employer group has not opted in yet. Have your benefits administrator contact the Health New England Health Management Program department at healthydirections@hne.com to opt into the Healthy Choices program.
*Restrictions apply:
- Not all employers/self-funded groups have elected to participate in the program.
- You must be 18 years or older and have a valid Health New England Membership ID to be entered into any raffle.
- When registering, you must use your full 11 digit Member ID number found on your ID card, including the last two numbers (Example: 01, 02).
- Only health activities completed between January 1 and December 31 of the current year will be accepted.
- You must be a Health New England plan member on the date of the raffle drawing to be eligible for prizes.
If you believe that you are not physically able to complete any of the health activities within My Health Assistant, please contact the Health Management Program department at healthydirections@hne.com and a reasonable alternative will be provided.
