Healthy Rewards and Incentives
To encourage you to take an active role in your health and well-being, Emory provides financial incentives for your participation in healthy activities.
2024 Incentives and Rewards
Medical Plan Well-being Incentives
To receive medical plan well-being incentives, you must be a current Emory University or Emory Healthcare employee, spouse, or pre-65 retiree enrolled in an Emory medical plan.
Incentives are earned through Healthy Emory Connect, Emory's personalized web platform and mobile app offered by Sharecare.
Incentives are applied to your medical plan:
- Aetna HSA Members: You will get a deposit into your Health Savings Account (HSA). If you should decide to move to a different medical plan, any unused funds will remain in your HSA account. Visit your member portal.
- Aetna POS Members: You will get a credit toward your deductible or co-insurance. Incentives can’t be used for co-pays. If you should decide to move to a different medical plan, any unused funds will be forfeited at the end of the calendar year. Visit your member portal.
- Kaiser Permanente Members: Your incentives will be added to your Kaiser Permanente Health Reimbursement Arrangement (KP HRA) and can be used towards your medical and pharmacy co-pays. If you move to a different medical plan, any unused funds will be forfeited at the end of the calendar year.
Please allow up to 8 weeks (2 months) to receive your incentive.
Rewards for Benefits-eligible employees not on an Emory Medical Plan
If you are a benefits-eligible employee who is not on an Emory medical plan, you can still access the Healthy Emory Connect platform and participate in programs, campaigns, and activities.
You cannot receive the medical plan well-being incentives, but you can be entered into a raffle drawing for a chance to win a variety of prizes (see chart below).
