The health assessment asks lifestyle-related questions to evaluate your overall well-being. By completing your online health assessment, you’ll unlock additional reward points for additional healthy activities.
After finishing your health assessment, log any additional healthy activities you have completed.
After logging your activities, you will receive an important email from WellFirst Health that you will use to access your Living Healthy reward. It can take up to three days to receive your link to redeem your points.
Your reward comes in the form of gift card(s) to your choice of many national retailers, restaurants and other popular merchants.

Adult children (ages 18 and older) covered under a family member's policy can earn up to 1,000 points for a maximum of $100 per calendar year (before Dec. 31, 2023). SSM Health employees are not eligible.
Adult Dependent points are the same as Member activities and points, except the Online Health Assessment activity for 500 points does not apply.
Covered adult children (ages 18 and older) can earn up to $100 per year for completing healthy activities, however, they are not required to complete the Health Assessment. Rewards for this activity are excluded from the rewards program (formerly a $50 value) due to changes made by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Final Rule on Employer Wellness Programs and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). Covered adult children may continue and are encouraged to complete the health assessment within their Living Healthy portal for their own benefit, however, regulations prevent WellFirst Health from rewarding this activity as of Jan. 1, 2017.
WellFirst Health reserves the right to validate each healthy activity you submit for reward points at any time. Only WellFirst Health members age 18 and older are eligible for Living Healthy rewards. Your employer may be required to report health plan-issued incentives as taxable income. WellFirst Health is required to report incentive payment information to your employer. Your health information is protected by federal law and will not be shared with your employer.
All points must be redeemed by Dec. 31, 2023. SSM Health employees are not eligible. Be sure you submit your assessment and complete your activities before that date. It can take up to three days to receive your link to redeem your points. If you wait too long to complete your activities, you might not receive your points before the current reward year ends.
