MEMBER BENEFITS

Health Screenings Pay!

By Rodney “RJ” Ricarte

Getting screened and being healthy pays cash to TakeCare members.

I strongly encourage you and your family to take advantage of the wellness incentive programs offered with your TakeCare GCA Employee Health Insurance Benefit..

The Wellness, Disease Management, and Preventative Incentive Program offers cash incentives up to $250 per eligible individual or $500 per eligible family per benefit period to complete an online health risk assessment, biometric screening, annual physical exam, colorectal cancer screening, breast cancer screening, mammogram, cervical cancer screening and pap smear, flu vaccines, dental exam, and other screenings.

The Outcome Based Incentive Program provides fitness and outcome based incentives up to $350 per eligible individual and $700 per eligible family per benefit period, provided they meet the program’s criteria and complete a health screening to determine blood pressure, cholesterol, HBA1C. Three months later the member completes a final screening to determine improvements and if the required criteria were met.

The Fitness/Gym Incentive Program rewards members and their family with cash to be active. TakeCare members have a choice of accessing 20 fitness partners on Guam and 2 in Saipan. When the member visits any of TakeCare’s participating gym/fitness partners, that member receives $10 per month for every month that member had ten visits or more. Members can also earn TakeCare’s fitness incentive by self-reporting at least 30 minutes of an approved activity such as walking, jogging, running; rowing; swimming; and or biking. Track your activity using one of the approved fitness apps and upload information about the activity to earn the incentive.

Ernest Aquino, TakeCare’s wellness team lead, and the health and wellness coaches, can provide educational and coaching services to help you get started.

The TakeCare Wellness Center offers group programs and individual consultations to improve your blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure to optimize your health. Looking to start a program or lose weight? Get baseline body composition measurements using the Evolt 360 and work with a coach to stay on track.
