Clicking on Stats
The Stats page will show you several tiles that include step count, sleep, active minutes, workouts, weight, blood pressure, glucose, and more!

Connect a Device or Manually Log
If you have a device connected, some of these items may be automatically synced to the platform. You can manually add some of these tracking items by clicking directly on the name of that tile. For example, if you are looking to track sleep and need to manually add this measurement, click on the word "sleep." This will open a new page that will allow you to select the "add sleep" button. 

Validated Stats
There are some stats that must be validated. This means they cannot be manually added to the platform. Validated stats must come from a tracking device (such as Garmin, myfitnesspal, or the biometric screening). These include:

• Active Minutes
•  Calories Consumed
• Calories Burned
• Waist 
• Cholesterol
• Glucose
• A1C

Clicking on Healthy Habits
The Healthy Habits page shows "active" and "suggested" Healthy Habits. Think of the Healthy Habits page as a bullet journal.

Track your Habits
You can use this page as a one-stop-shop to track your Healthy Habits such as step count, sleep, overall mood, etc. There are no shortage of Healthy Habits that can be tracked on this page! Just select the "view all" tab to see the multiple Healthy Habits that can be tracked depending on your individual goals.

How to Update Habits to Track
There are some habits that are defaulted under "active" habits. However, you should feel free to make this page your own. Stop tracking a certain habit by clicking on the "stop tracking" trash can or add a new habit by clicking "suggested" or "view all" to find a habit that makes sense for your goals. 

20 Healthy Habits at a Time
Keep in mind - you  can track up to 20 Healthy Habits at one time. Once you hit 21, a Healthy Habit will need to be removed from your "active" list to keep it at or under 20 habits.

Healthy Habit Challenges
For more information on personal Healthy Habit challenges, view the "Challenges" drop down under "Social." For information on the Promoted Healthy Habits Challenges (points earning opportunity), see "How to Earn Points."

Clicking on Rewards
The rewards page provides all the reward options along with your current point total. At the top of this page is a quick outline of the program participation requirements in a dark gray box. Under this box, you will see a "How to Earn" tab and a "My Earnings" tab. These outline the points you can earn in the program and the points you have earned in the program, respectively. 

Review the "How to Earn Points" and our wellness webpage for more information on how to qualify for the rebate.​

Priority Action Items
There are two priority action items at the very top under "Know Your Numbers." These two priority action items are required. You must complete these in order to qualify for the rebate. Completing these will also "unlock" all other points. More on locked vs. unlocked points below. 

Locating Priority Action Items
To locate the Priority Action items, simply click on the title:  "Complete Health Check Survey" and/or "Complete Biometric Screening." By Clicking on the title, a pop-up will open that has a button saying "Take Me There." This will redirect you to the Health Check Survey and/or the Biometric Screening page, depending on which title you selected.

Rewards Progress
On the left side, you will see your "Rewards Progress." This is where you can see the points you have earned to date. 

Maximum reward: 12
The maximum reward is set to 12 for all participants. Eight (8) points are needed to complete the program for the rebate and 12 points are needed to enter the High Point Drawing. You are only required to meet the 8 point limit to qualify for the rebate. Keep earning to get to the maximum of 12 points to enter the High Point Drawing!

Earned vs "Completed by Locked Points" 
Our program has two required activities, knowing as "Priority Action Items:" (1) the Health Check Survey and (2) the Biometric Screening. Any points you earn before you complete both these required points will show up as "Completed but locked" points. This simply means that you have done the point(s) required for another part of the program but that the point(s) will be locked until the two required activities are completed. Once the required activities are completed, any "Completed but locked" points will be officially awarded to you. 

Review the "How to Earn Points" and our wellness webpage for more information on how to qualify for the rebate.

Clicking on Topics of Interest 
Clicking on Topics of Interest opens a pop-up window with three options: (1) getting active, (2) eating healthy, and (3) reducing stress.

Choosing Topics of Interest to Drive Platform Experience
Check or uncheck the Topics of Interest as they fit into your personal wellness journey. You are able to return and update these at any time. By checking one of these boxes, it will allow the Personify Health portal to promote certain parts of the platform to you based on your goals. For example, if you select "getting active," Personify Health may suggest some Healthy Habits that you can add, or a Journey that you can complete. (More information on Healthy Habits and Journeys are provided in their respective areas on this site.)

Further Personalization with Pillars of Interest
Once you decide to check or uncheck (1) getting active, (2) eating healthy, and (3) reducing stress, you can further personalize your journey by using the drop down menus provided under the Topics of Interest. There are four topics that are called "Pillars of Interest:" (1) energy, (2) focus, (3) drive, and (4) health situations. Open each of these drop down menus and select the topics you would like to see more content about. As mentioned above, you can return and update this at any time. More information on "Pillars of Interest" is on this site in the next drop down menu. 

Clicking on Pillars of Interest
The Pillars of Interest page is a great resource for you to add Healthy Habits to your Healthy Habits page! The Pillars of Interest break down all the Healthy Habits available on Personify Health's platform by aligning them in one of these Pillars of Interest.  The Pillars of Interest include: (1) energy, (2) focus, (3) drive, and (4) health situations. 

Choose Pilar of Interest 
To view all the Healthy Habits, select your Pilar of Interest. For example, select "getting active" under the "energy" Pilar of Interest. This will direct you to the "getting active" page under the "energy" Pilar of Interest and will provide all the Healthy Habits that can be added to your Healthy Habits page. As a reminder, you can only have 20 Healthy Habits at one time (see the Healthy Habits drop down menu in the "Home" section above for more information).

What is the Health Check Survey?
The Health Check Survey takes between 10-15 minutes to complete. It walks you through several health related questions and provides you with a score at the end of the survey along with areas of focus that may need your attention based on your answers. 

Locating the Health Check Survey

Then, click on "Complete the Health Check survey" and select "Take me there." You will follow these same steps to locate the Biometric screening, which is also required.

What is the Biometric Screening?
The Biometric Screening allows you to get an understanding of what is going on "under the hood," so to speak. It provides important data including your cholesterol, blood glucose, and body composition measurements to give you more insight into your health & wellness.

Locating the Biometric Screening
To find the Biometric Screening, log into your Personify Health account, hover over "Home," and select "Rewards" from the drop down menu. Then, click on "Complete a Biometric Screening" and select "Take me there." You will follow these same steps to locate the Health Check Survey, which is also required.

How to Complete the Biometric Screening
There are three choices to completed your biometric screening: (1) in-person at a Labcorp facility, (2) ordering a home test kit, or (3) going to your local provider with the biometric form from Personify Health.

In-Person at a Labcorp Facility or Mail Order
To schedule an in-person visit at a local Labcorp facility, or request a mail order form, locate the biometric screening using the steps outlined above under "Locating the Biometric Screening." After you click "Take Me There" you will need to hit "Start Now" on the next page under the Labcorp logo. This will log you into the Labcorp site where you will see two options: (1) Labcorp Patient Service Center and (2) Labcorp On Demand Home Test Kit." Select which option you are wanting to use and follow the prompts.

Biometric Screening at a Local Doctors Office (non-Labcorp facility) - COMING SOON!
Since Labcorp facilities are not located in all parts of Alaska, we are  working with Personify Health to implement a provider form that can be printed and taken directly to your local provider. We are hoping to have this available for employees by the end of October 2024. Once we have the form available, we will advertise it out in our Benefits Newsletter and include a link back to this area so that you can get all the information needed to complete the biometric screening. 

Earn 1 Point
Complete your registration with Personify Health to earn 1 point toward your rebate. This point can only be earned one time. To qualify for the point, you must:

• Complete registration (by logging into your Personify Health account)
• Add a profile picture
• First login to mobile app
• Add 5 friends

There are two (2) points earnings opportunities under "Worksite Health Challenges."

Earning Opportunity 1: Join the Company Challenge for 1 Point
Earn 1 point by joining the promoted company challenge.

What is a "Promoted Company Challenge?"
Promoted Company Challenges are created in partnership with UA Benefits and Personify Health. Together, we create Company Challenges that allow employees to join or create a team (usually of 5-7 employees) and do a group challenge.  Teams can be auto-assigned so you don't need to create a team before you join a Company Challenge.

Company Challenges could include events like "Destinations," where groups of employees will add their steps together and compete by "racing" through different destinations such as "Bridges Around the World" or "Walking the Appalachian Trail."

Earning Opportunity 2: "Win" the Promoted Healthy Habit Challenge for 1 point

What is a "Promoted Healthy Habit Challenge?"
Each month, Personify Health runs promoted "Healthy Habit Challenges" that you can join. These challenges surround a Healthy Habit (such as eating fruit, drinking water, etc) and usually run for one week. To join a promoted "Healthy Habit Challenge," hover over the "Social" button and click on "Challenges" in the drop down. Then, under "Available Challenges" click "Join Now" or "Preview Challenge" to review the challenge rules.

To "Win" for the point, simply track a minimum of 5 out of the 7 days during the Healthy Habits Challenge. 

What is Telephonic Coaching?
Telephonic coaching allows you to meet with a Personify Health coach on a topic that you may need a little boost on. Schedule a session that makes sense to you on topics including "Eating Healthy" or "Insomnia and Sleep Conditions." Coaching provides support and accountability as you continue on your wellness journey. 

Earn 2 Points for 2 Coaching Sessions
Earn 2 point by completing two coaching sessions.

Preventive Care Screenings and the My Care Checklist
When you are logged into your Personify Health account and navigate to the "Rewards" page, you will see several options under the Preventive Care Screenings. If you click on one of these Preventive Care Screenings and select "Take Me There" in the pop-up window, you will be redirected to your My Care Checklist. This is where you log your points for your Preventive Screenings. 

My Care Checklist is a Guide ONLY
The My Care Checklist is a guide. Always check to make sure you are eligible for the preventive screening you are requesting before your appointment and always be sure that your visit is coded as a preventive visit and not a diagnostic visit. Preventive visits are covered in full by the plan. Diagnostic visits are subject to coinsurance. Know before you go! If you have questions about preventive screenings, please call TouchCare.

Earn up to 5 points
There are several preventive care screenings that you can complete, each worth 1 point. You can earn up to 5 points (5 preventive screenings). The preventive screenings listed are based on your age and sex, so you may see different preventive screening points from your spouse/FIP.  This area also houses vaccine attestations which can be self-attested to for one point. 

How to Earn Points - SELF ATTESTATION!
Preventive screenings are completed through self-attestation! Personify Health will receive data to support self-attestations but the point will only be awarded when you self-attest to the preventive screening you completed. This will allow you to immediately earn the point as soon as you have your preventive screening. In the past, this was passed along via data feed only and there was often a long wait time before the point was awarded.

What are Ideal/Improved Measurements?
These measurements are based on your prior year's biometric screening. 

Earn 1 point
You can earn 1 point for meeting 3 out of the 5 biometric screenings. If you do not meet the 3 out of 5, you can take a Journey for an alternative to the point. (Only 1 point maximum. Meeting 3 out of 5 and doing an alternative Journey will not get you 2 points.)

What is ideal?
Curious about what is ideal? Hover over the "Home" button and click "Stats." Then click on the metric you are curious about. For example, if you are looking to see what the ideal measurements are for glucose, click on "Glucose" and then click on the "What's Ideal?" at the bottom of the glucose page.

• 30 active minutes

Then, as the name suggests, this must be done 20 times over the course of a calendar month. 

How to Track
If you have a device that you use and would like to sync that to Personify Health, your tracking will automatically sync with the Personify Health platform when you open the app on your phone. To connect an app, review the "Devices & Apps" information above. 

Calendar Month
This challenge is always run on a calendar month. This means you must get 20 days out of the calendar month (i.e. 20 days in October, 20 days in January, etc). If you have only reached 19 days by the last day of the month, you won't receive credit and the tally won't carry over to the next month. Keep an eye on the calendar and be sure you are working on this challenge at the beginning of each month!

A Syncing Note - Syncing only goes back 14 days!
The Personify Health platform will only sync 14-days in the past. If you have data you want added to the platform, be sure to sync regularly! For example, data from October 1 must sync before October 14, otherwise the data will need to be manually added. (Some stats do not allow for manual add, see "Validated Stats" under the "Stats" drop down for more information.)

Earn 1 Point with a 4 Point Maximum
Each time you complete the 20 day triple tracker you will earn 1 point. This can be completed up to 4 times in a plan year. 

Complete the Nicotine-Free Agreement (1 point)
Are you nicotine-free? Congratulations! This is one of the easiest points you can earn. Click on "Complete the Nicotine-Free Agreement," then "Take me there," and then - complete the agreement! 

Complete a Journey (1 point)
Journeys are daily tips and tricks on topics that you would like to learn more about. Click on "Complete a Journey" and then "Take Me There" to see what subjects are available for a Journey. Journeys are completed over time. This means that each day during the Journey, you will receive a very short read (usually a few minutes) for that day. Then, you will return the next day to complete the next "step" in the Journey. (Journey's cannot be completed in one sitting, so be sure to plan ahead.) Journeys last around 10 days depending on the topic you select. For example, you can select the Journey "Going Gluten-free with Ease" and complete your first day's read. Then, return for the next 10 days to complete the Journey and earn the point! When you log back into Personify Health, the Journey will show how many days you have completed.
