**To process your rewards card for an eligible health service, you must register for the program and complete the health service or activity. The claim or attestation must be received by Dec. 31 of the calendar year. We will not be able to send you rewards for 2024 completed activities after Dec. 31, 2024. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) requires that all eligible members who opt in to participate and earn rewards in a Medicare Advantage rewards program must redeem all rewards no later than December 31 of the current year and therefore any unredeemed rewards earned in 2024 will not be eligible for redemption in 2025. Only one reward can be earned for each health service. Your rewards card cannot be used at ATMs; for cash access or to make recurring payments; or for the purchase of gift cards, alcohol, tobacco, or firearms. Purchase and merchant restrictions apply.
