​​​Encourage eligible Medicare Advantage members to earn Independence health rewards

April 6, 2022

​Independence Medicare Advantage members can earn rewards for taking care of their health through the 2022 Independence health rewards program.

Eligible activities

Members are eligible to redeem incentives for activities completed from January 1 through December 31, 2022. (Members have until January 13, 2023, to report 2022 activities.)

The program has changed this year. Based on physician and patient feedback, we have added the Mammogram incentive back to the program.

We have also updated the incentive structure. An Annual Wellness Visit is a requirement of the program. Members can earn incentives for up to six more activities. The activities do not have to be completed in order, but the incentives are not paid until the required activity is reported.

How it works

Members can access their Independence health rewards online and by phone.

Members can find more information on how to earn their rewards by reviewing the marketing material that was mailed to them, logging into the portal, or contacting the health rewards contact center.

When an Independence Medicare Advantage member completes an eligible activity, he or she can confirm completion by:

  • logging into the ibx.com online portal;
  • calling the health rewards contact center at 1-877-268-3646.

Our User Guide includes additional information and instructions to earn, report, redeem, and claim the reward as a plastic or electronic gift card. The User Guide also includes instructions to activate an account.

Gift cards will arrive by mail at the address on file within 2 - 4 weeks.*

We hope that you will encourage your eligible patients to take advantage of this program.
