Wellness
Sharecare, the wellness program vendor, provides comprehensive well-being and incentive programs for SHBP members. As you complete wellness activities and earn Well-Being Incentive Points, these points are saved in the Sharecare Redemption Center until you choose to redeem them.
All employees and covered spouses are eligible to receive Well-Being Incentive points for completion of activities between January 1 and December 2. These points offset your medical and pharmacy expenses.
You and your spouse may earn 120 points for the RealAge Test and 120 points for the Biometric Screening. Once you have completed your Well-Being Assessment, you may participate in telephonic coaching or online tracking to earn additional points. For telephonic coaching, you can earn 60 incentive points for 1 call in a calendar month, up to 4 calls a year. You may also record items such as exercise and food servings on the Well-Being Connect portal and earn additional points. For online trackers, you can earn 40 points for the same trackers 5 times in a calendar month up to 6 times a year.
You and your spouse may earn a combined total of up to 960 in Well-being Incentive points. Incentive points will rollover, regardless of the option selected for the new year.
High Deductible Health plan members must meet a portion of your deductible before you are able to use your well-being incentive points. You must meet $1,500 for individual coverage and $3,000 for dependent coverage before wellness points are available. United Healthcare is matching the first 240 in well-being incentive points for employees and spouses.

Redemption Options
Employee and covered spouses can redeem 480 well-being incentive points in one of two ways:
- A $150 Visa Reward Card that can be used anywhere Visa is accepted (expires one year after redemption) OR
- 480 well-being incentive credits towards eligible medical and pharmacy expenses (can be redeemed in increments of 120 points to HIA, HRA or MIA)
Members need to go to the ShareCare website to choose the redemption option preferred. If members select to use the credits towards eligible expenses, the HMO reimbursement is done by check, and HRA credits are used at the point of service.
