Independence health rewards for Medicare Advantage members

August 27, 2018

Independence health rewards is an incentive program offered to Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO members. The goal of the program is to incent members to receive important screenings and other preventive services from their primary care provider.

How it works

Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO members were sent a letter in June with information about the program and instructions on how to register. The letter included information explaining how the program works, how to report activities, and how to qualify for and redeem rewards. The following grid outlines the services eligible for rewards:

When members complete applicable recommended health care activities, they can document them online, by mail, or by phone. Rewards can be redeemed as gift cards to a wide variety of retailers where they can be redeemed. Members will receive their reward in the mail approximately four to six weeks after submission for activities reported by mail or phone. Activities reported online can be redeemed for an instant e-gift card.
