Are you looking to make the most of your health plan benefits? Many health plans offer exciting opportunities to earn rewards simply by taking care of your health. This guide will walk you through the essentials of a Health Care Rewards Program, helping you understand how to qualify, claim, and enjoy your benefits.
Am I Eligible for Health Care Rewards?
Eligibility for a health care rewards program typically depends on a few key factors. Generally, you may qualify if:
- You are a member of a participating Health Plan: The first step is to be enrolled in a health plan that offers a rewards program. Check with your health insurance provider to see if such a program, like myRewards, is available to you.
- It’s time for a qualifying checkup or test: Health care rewards programs are often designed to encourage preventive care. This means rewards are usually tied to specific checkups or tests that are recommended at certain intervals. Your health plan will have a list of these qualifying services within their myRewards program.
- Timely completion of recommended care: To earn your reward, it’s crucial to complete the scheduled checkup or test within the required timeframe. Your health plan will notify you when it’s time for these services, and completing them on time ensures you meet the program requirements.

How Do I Claim My Reward Gift Card?
Claiming your reward is usually a straightforward digital process. Here’s how you can typically access your gift card after completing a qualifying health activity:
- Visit the Health Plan Website and Log In: Go to your Health Plan’s website and locate the member portal. This is often called something like “myHPSJ Member Portal.”
- Complete the Reward Form: Once logged in, find the section related to the rewards program. You’ll likely find a reward form to fill out.
- Submit the Form: After filling out all required details on the form, press the “Submit” button.
- Receive Your Gift Card Link: After submission and processing, you will receive a link to access your chosen gift card. This link is usually sent to your email or can be found within the member portal.
Questions About Your Reward Gift Card?
If you have any questions or need to check the status of your gift card, your health plan provides resources to assist you:
- Check the Member Portal: The myHPSJ Member Portal is your primary resource for tracking your gift card status and reward information.
- Contact Customer Service: For direct assistance, you can always call the customer service team. A common number is 1-888-936-PLAN (7526).
Important Considerations for Your Health Care Rewards
- Reward Selection is Final: Double-check your reward choice before submitting your request. Health plans typically cannot change the reward once it has been selected and processed.
- Gift Card Link Expiration: Be mindful that the link to your digital gift card usually has an expiration period, often around 6 months from the issue date. Claim your gift card promptly to avoid losing it. Some physical gift cards, like those from Walmart, may not expire, but digital links often do.
- Text Message Reimbursement: If you incurred charges for text messages from your health plan related to the rewards program, contact them. Many plans offer reimbursement for these charges. You can usually request this through a form in the member portal.
- Doctor Verification: You generally don’t need your doctor to directly sign off on your exam for the reward. You will need to inform the Health Plan about the date and location of your completed checkup or test. The Health Plan will then handle the verification process with your healthcare provider as needed.
- Troubleshooting Gift Card Issues: If you encounter any problems accessing your gift card, start by checking your reward status in the member portal. If issues persist, contacting customer service is the best next step.
- Finding Your Member ID: Your member ID is essential for accessing the rewards program. This 9-digit number, often starting with “200”, is unique to you as a health plan member. You can find it on your Health Plan membership card. Refer to your card whenever you need to enter your Member ID for reward claims or portal access.
By understanding these key aspects of your health care rewards program, you can proactively engage with your health, complete recommended preventive care, and enjoy the added benefit of rewards. Make the most of your health plan and prioritize your well-being!
