Last Chance for 2016 Incentive


Dear State of Montana Benefit Plan Members,This is a final reminder to self-report your Next Steps Discount activity and a Nicotine Free alternative activity, if applicable.  PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. This post contains important information about the Live Life Well Incentive program and addresses many of your frequently asked questions. 
Who Must Self-Report Next Steps Activities?

Anyone who is eligible and wants to earn the $15 Next Steps Discount.
When should I report my activity?

As soon as possible and no later than midnight of October 31, 2016.

Do NOT wait for your health screening to show up at www.myactivehealth.com/som.
What should I do to make sure I will get the correct discount in 2017?

  1. Have a State-sponsored health screening between November 1, 2015-October 31, 2016. You will get credit for it regardless of what the MyActiveHealth site shows.
  2. Your nicotine status will automatically be reported as part of your health screening. If you are not nicotine free, and would like to earn the $10 Nicotine Free Discount, you will need to complete an alternative and self-report it at www.myactivehealth.com/som under the “Nicotine Free” section of the My Rewards tab.
  3. Self-report your Next Steps Discount activity at www.myactivehealth.com/som under the “Next Steps Discount” section of the My Rewards tab by October 31, 2016, regardless of if your health screening is showing up or not.
How do I self-report my Next Steps Discount activity?

  1. Log into www.myactivehealth.com/som using your information exactly as it appears on your Allegiance benefit card.

  2. Click the “My Rewards” tab on the left.
  3. Scroll down to the “Next Steps Discount” section.
  4. Click “Work on it” and check the activity you completed. (Select “Live Life Well Challenges” for Healthy Bingo, Strive for Five, or the Holiday Challenge.)
  5. Click “save.”
  6. It should now say “Completed” under the Next Steps Discount section. Be aware, your dollar amount might not change right away.
How do I check that my discount is correct?We are aware some members’ Incentives are not showing correctly at www.myactivehealth.com/som. We are working on a solution. If you had a State-sponsored health screening as outlined above, you will get credit for it, regardless of what MyActiveHealth shows.

HCBD will send an email to all employees in December telling you how to check your confirmation statement for January 2017 in the MINE site. This will show you how your discount will apply to your 2017 benefit contribution.Thank you for your patience as we work through these issues. 



Also, remember, you have until October 31, 2016 to log into the MINE site to make your 2017 benefit elections.For assistance with the site, logging in, or reporting an activity call:

Important! Live Life Well Incentive information


Dear State of Montana Benefit Plan Members,

If you want to earn your full Live Life Well Incentive, you must self-report your Next Steps Activity and/or Nicotine Free Alternative (if it applies) by October 31, 2016 at www.myactivehealth.com/som.

We know many members have had trouble reporting their Incentive information.

Please carefully read the Steps and Troubleshooting below to be sure you have correctly reported your information.



Steps:

  1. Click “My Rewards.
  2. Scroll down to “Next Steps Activity.”
  3. Click “Work On It.”
    1. If it says, “Result,” you’ve already reported your activity and do not need to do anything else.
  4. Click the box of the Next Steps activity you completed under the “Report Activity” column.
    1. You must self-report in the Next Steps Activity Section even if you completed the Governor’s Stay Active Challenge, Strive For Five, Healthy Bingo or the Holiday Challenge and those sections say, “Completed.”
    2. If you had no At-Risk levels and completed Strive For Five, Healthy Bingo or the Holiday Challenge select “Other Live Life Well Challenges” at the bottom of the list.
  5. Click “Save.”



Troubleshooting:

  • For assistance with the www.myactivehealth.com/som portal, call (855) 206-1302.
  • Once you save your activity, your Reward progress and dollar amount at the top may not look correct right away.
  • If your health screening is showing in the portal, it can take up to 72 hours to update.
  • It can take up to a month for your State-sponsored health screening to show in the portal.
    • If it’s been more than a month and your health screening and/or Nicotine Free status aren’t appearing correctly, please email livelifewell@mt.gov.  
    • If you have a State-sponsored health screening through Care Here between November 1, 2015 and October 31, 2016, you WILL get credit for it even if it doesn’t show correctly in the portal.
  • Do not wait for your health screening to show in the portal. SELF REPORT your Next Steps Activity now! Your Next Steps Activity and/or Nicotine Free Alternative will be saved and will update automatically when your screening is in the system.
  • You cannot uncheck a Next Step Activity selection once you’ve saved it. It is ok to report more than one activity.
