It pays to be a GEHA member

GEHA | March 14, 2022

All five GEHA medical plans offer incentives for healthy lifestyle choices.

GEHA medical plans offer a variety of savings opportunities for you and your family.* Reach your health goals and save money by taking advantage of these reward opportunities.

Health Rewards

For eligible HDHP, Standard and High members, two adults per plan can earn up to $250 in rewards each for healthy activities such as getting an annual flu shot, doing online wellness workshops and having a preventive cancer screening for cervical, colorectal or breast cancer. After completion of the first activity, a reloadable Visa Rewards card will be mailed to you from HealthEquity. This is a debit card that can be used for qualified medical expenses. For HDHP members, the annual deductible must be met to use Health Rewards for medical expenses. Health Rewards may be used for dental and vision services prior to meeting the deductible.
