Healthy Advantage Wellness Program - FAQ

The Memorial Hermann Healthy Advantage Wellness Program (HAWP) is designed to help maximize your Medicare Advantage plan benefits while improving your overall health and well-being. It is a program that rewards you for completing certain health-related activities. These activities may include an annual physical or an annual wellness visit with your Primary Care Provider (PCP), as well as age-appropriate preventive screenings and tests.

Once a member completes their annual Health Risk Assessment, they are automatically eligible to participate in the program. Upon completion of certain health-related activities and a claim is filed, we will run monthly reports to identify which members have completed which activities. We will then mail a MasterCard gift card with the specific allotted value for that particular health-related activity. The gift card can be used for any purchases, whether online or at brick and mortar locations. The card is not reusable and can be disposed of after the valued amount has been entirely spent.

Please allow up to 60 days from the date the claim was received for processing and mailing of your gift card.
