Demystifying the Humana Go365 Program
Often referred to as the “365 program,” Humana's official wellness and rewards initiative is called Go365. It's designed to encourage eligible members to engage in a wide array of activities that promote physical, social, and mental well-being. By participating, members can earn rewards redeemable for gift cards, providing a tangible incentive for prioritizing health.
Who Is Eligible for Go365?
The Go365 program's availability and specific features are not universal across all Humana plans. Eligibility primarily extends to:
- Humana Medicare Advantage members: Many Medicare Advantage plans include Go365 at no extra cost, integrating it as a key benefit to support a healthier lifestyle.
- Humana Healthy Horizons Medicaid members: Go365 is also offered to members in many Medicaid plans, providing wellness support and rewards that can vary by state.
- Former Employer Group members: It's important to note that while Go365 was previously available for employer-sponsored commercial plans, Humana has exited this market segment. Therefore, individuals with this type of coverage will no longer have access to the program.
How the Go365 Rewards Program Works
The process of earning and redeeming rewards through Go365 is straightforward:
- Participate: Members engage in a variety of eligible healthy activities, which are often personalized based on a health assessment.
- Earn Rewards: For each completed activity, members earn rewards, which accumulate in their Go365 account.
- Redeem: Earned rewards can be exchanged for gift cards from a selection of popular retailers through the Go365 Mall.
It's crucial to understand that rewards typically have no cash value and must be earned and redeemed within the same plan year, with rewards expiring at the end of December.
