Virgin Pulse Wellbeing Incentive Program

The State of Minnesota is launching a new wellbeing program that makes getting healthier more rewarding. Beginning now, when you participate in health activities this year, you’ll earn points to receive an incentive next year. Earn 200 points by October 31, 2020, and the first $70 of your total annual deductible is paid in calendar year 2021. This benefit will replace the current $5 discount on office visit copays for completing the health assessment. If you completed the health assessment and received the $5 office visit copay discount for this year, you will continue to receive that discount through the end of calendar year 2020.

How to Get Started:

  1. Get set up with Virgin Pulse. Virgin Pulse is our wellbeing program vendor. Visit their page online to create an account, or download their mobile app.
    1. Note: Current users can access their Virgin Pulse accounts here: https://app.member.virginpulse.com/.
  2. View the list of healthy activities. Everyone has different health goals. That’s why our wellbeing program allows you to choose from a variety of healthy activities, each with a point value associated. Only a few activities can be completed more than once, and they are indicated on the activities list.
  3. Collect 200 points. Because health is all about balance, you’ll need to complete two or more activities to reach 200 points and earn your reward. Virgin Pulse automatically tracks your points when you complete activities on their platform or participate in select statewide campaigns. You’ll need to manually log other activities you complete in Virgin Pulseusing the rewards tab. 
  4. Complete activities by Oct. 31. Start participating in healthy activities to earn points now. Earn 200 points by Oct. 31, 2020, to earn the reward for 2021. Log and track your points in Virgin Pulseusing the rewards tab.

All benefits-eligible state employees have access to our wellbeing program, which is run through Virgin Pulse. Only active employees enrolled in the Minnesota Advantage health plan are eligible for the reward.
