Introducing Strive, a comprehensive solution for health and well-being engagement.

A health incentive account (HIA) can help you control costs by encouraging members to seek regular preventive care. Members are rewarded with deductible credits for completing activities such as annual physicals or dental exams, and My Health Novel^SM milestones.

Biometrics

Health screenings are a simple way employers can invest in their employee’s health. Screenings reveal potential health risks that could affect your population and can help you determine which programs and education will have the most impact on keeping your employees happy and healthy.
