UHC Motion: A Wellness Program That Rewards You for Walking
UnitedHealthcare Motion is a free wellness program that incentivizes you to take steps towards a healthier lifestyle. The program is available on iPhone and is offered to employers, so confirm your eligibility by checking with your company's HR representative.
The program gives you three daily walking goals and rewards you financially for achieving them. The walking goals are designed to promote health and wellness and are based on moving with Frequency, Intensity, and Tenacity every day. The app also encourages you to get up frequently for brief walks every day to reduce health risk factors associated with prolonged sitting.
One of the unique features of this app is that you can earn over $1,000 per plan year for out-of-pocket medical expenses by completing one, two, or all three daily goals. Earnings are deposited quarterly into an HRA or HSA as applicable. Additionally, with your permission, the app reads data from the Health App specific to your workout or exercise activities for the day, providing you with more options to achieve your health and wellness goals.
Overall, UHC Motion is an excellent wellness program that encourages you to take small steps towards a healthier lifestyle, while also providing financial incentives to keep you motivated.
