Get the Point begins Feb. 1 In preparation for 2013, Get the Point (GTP) will be offline Jan. 2-31 for improvements and upgrades. During this time, we will be purging participant activity data. This means all of your current points will be deleted. Your username and password, along with journal entries and biometrics, will not be affected.

The next Get the Point (GTP) Incentive Campaign will begin Feb. 1 and run through July 31. GTP helps you incorporate healthful habits into your lifestyle and rewards you for consistent healthful living. GTP is tailored for you and allows you to set and track your own goals. Plus, you earn cash prizes as you participate! Beginning in February, track your activities at least once a month in any one of the two and/or four consecutive month incentive campaign periods. There are three campaign periods to choose from (Feb.-May, March-June and April-July). Once you start tracking, you have two and/or four consecutive months to complete the GTP incentive campaign. If you don't reach a tier in the first two months, you can try again. However, once you reach a tier, you are locked into that campaign period and the system will not allow you to extend your time.

Look for more details in the next Health Link or visit Health In Action. Note that only UA Health Plan eligible employees may participate for prizes.
