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:
