How this impacts providers: Providers should encourage members to take advantage of the Healthy Rewards Program benefits/VAS that are applicable and helpful for them.
TCHP is continuing our partnership with Healthmine, branded Healthy Connections, for our members, for our VAS reward card fulfillment. Healthmine provides an online, interactive portal where members can actively participate in tracking their health actions and fulfill VAS gift cards. Please note, only the Prenatal, Postpartum, Flu Prevention, Cervical Cancer, Diabetes Screening Reward, Well-Child Checkup, HRA completion, SAI completion, ADHD Management, and Young Adult Wellness Visit rewards are fulfilled by Healthmine.
Members can request their reward and create their Healthmine (Healthy Connections) account a few ways:
For members age 18 and up, call Healthmine at 866-475-1619 (TTY711). Healthmine customer service agents can help members create their account and intake member VAS requests
For membersunder the age of 18, they must create their account online by either:
Logging into their MyChart account (under “Menu”, head to “Resources” and click on “Healthy Connections” to sign up)
Healthmine account creation and reward redemption user guides can be found on our Healthy Rewards website or by clicking here (available in both English and Spanish)
Please encourage members to create their Healthy Connections account (if not already done so) as this will be the only way members can request and redeem these rewards
Next steps for providers: Providers should share this information with their staff and their TCHP plan members.
