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 help reduce 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 40 incentive points for 1 call in a calendar month, up to 6 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 Wellbeing Incentive points in 2024.  Incentive points will rollover in 2025, 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 $1,650 for individual coverage and $3,300 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:

  • 480 well-being incentive credits towards eligible medical and pharmacy expenses (can be redeemed in increments of 120 points) OR
