08/05/2008   ActivateSM joins InnovaSM and EngageSMSM in the self-managed plans family!

August 1, 2008 was the first available effective date for any group of any size on our newest product, ActivateSM.

InnovaSM and EngageSM have been incredibly well-received! The Innova unlimited Up-Front benefit is one of the most popular self-managed plan designs. This benefit provides members with deductible-free office visits and up to $400 each year in pre-deductible radiology and laboratory services. We are thrilled by the overwhelming positive market response with the introduction of Innova and Engage to the Regence community.

Up until now, these successful products have been available only to groups of 2 to 99. This summer we made them available to groups of all sizes, and we expect to see their popularity grow.

Building on the innovation and success of Innova and Engage, Activate is a unique product that offers members Web-based rewards for participating in healthy activities.

  • By participating in healthy behaviors, members can earn Member Choice Funds to help pay for qualified, out-of-pocket medical expenses, including deductibles and coinsurance.
  • For the first time, members will experience how their lifestyle choices have a direct impact on their health and their wallets.
You may have seen recent ads promoting these products in the community. Anyone who responded to the ads was encouraged to contact their agent or call Regence toll-free. We have also pages on our Web site dedicated to Innova, Engage and Activate.
