Healthy Incentives

Healthy employees are the key to your business success. They also are the answer to lower overall health care expenditures. Yet, have you run out of ideas to direct employees toward healthier lifestyles? Healthy Incentives can help.

Healthy Incentives seeks to alter the way your employees make health care choices through the use of rewards. The program offers rewards to your employees when they complete certain wellness programs or activities.

The program is simple to manage, easy to use and customizable. Based on your direction, BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina sets up a list of qualified activities employees may complete to earn awards. After a participant has completed and reported a qualified activity, he or she will receive an award certificate. Employees can redeem awards for a variety of rewards, including:

  • Gift cards from major retailers and restaurants
  • Prepaid debit gift cards
  • Charity donations

In addition, BlueCross also can administer monetary rewards, such as premium contributions, Health Savings Account or Health Reimbursement Account transactions.

Employees can redeem awards for gift cards and merchandise online, by phone, fax or mail — making Healthy Incentives accessible to every employee.

Healthy Incentives features toll-free telephone and 24-hour online customer service. Telephone support is available in multiple languages.

In a recent PricewaterhouseCoopers study of 150 major United States employers, 84 percent of CEOs said that incentives were the most promising tool for reducing health care costs. Healthy Incentives, along with other BlueCross health management programs, can help your company join the movement.
