How does the Healthy Rewards program work?

At MetroPlusHealth, we don’t cover our members just when they are sick. We want to keep you healthy, too. Most of our plans pay you up to $500 to work out and offer you a ride to and from the doctor. Plus, finish our “just drink water challenge” and you will earn 150 points (a $15 value in MetroPlus Rewards).

The rewards are popular items such as:

· For physical activity – baseball mitts, basketballs, quilted sleeping bags, and activity trackers

· For diet and health habits – blenders, digital thermometers, polarized sunglasses)

· Other rewards simply help you relax and have fun

You can also earn rewards for preventive care. You will get points when you see a primary care provider within 60 days of joining our plan Or, when you take our Step-Up Walking Challenge.

It's as easy as earning, tracking and shopping. And, you will get FREE SHIPPING on every order!
