Activities & Points FAQs

-
Q: How do I earn points?
Participants can earn points by completing tasks on their to-do list or from the list of point-eligible activities visible when you log into the myHC360 platform for My Health Rewards.
Activities can be required, recommended or honor based. Honor-based activities automatically earn points upon completion. If approval is needed from HealthCheck360 and/or UAB, points are awarded once approved.
For claim-based submissions, the HealthCheck360 team works with UAB Employee Wellness to set up file feed from your health plan carriers to receive biometric screening data, preventive care visits, flu shots, etc., ensuring points for completed activities.
Point values vary, but keep an eye out for the specific "Key Behaviors" needed to unlock the next tier level.
-
Q: What are Key Behaviors?
Key Behaviors are essential for moving you to the next tier to earn cash. Key Behaviors are marked with a key next to the activity name. One Key Behavior is required to complete Tier 1 and a total of 2 Key Behaviors are required to complete Tier 2 and Tier 3.
-
Q: How do I prove I completed a point-earning activity?
Each activity will provide instructions associated with the available points to be earned. Some actions do not require you to do anything and will automatically process via claims and other automated reports. Honor-based activities automatically earn points upon completion. If approval is needed from HealthCheck360 or UAB, points are awarded once approved. Each activity is different and there is a detailed explanation about this in the Activities section of your account.
-
Q: How far back can I log exercise/activity?
You are welcome to log exercise/activity if it falls within your program measurement period. For example, if your program starts on January 1, 2025, and ends on December 31, 2025, you can log exercise/activity anytime within this period. This ensures that all activities are recorded and counted towards your program goals.
-
Q: Why have I not received my points?
Points may be issued to your account immediately or can take up to six weeks to display, depending on where an action took place and how quickly information is transferred. Attending an on-site UAB event may result in a quicker turn-around for awarded points than visiting your doctor.
If you think you are missing points, email support@healthcheck360.com with your name, Blazer ID, the activity you are missing, and the activity date. Upon receipt of this information, a HealthCheck360 Member Services representative will research your activity and follow up with you.
If you do not see point-earning activities that were completed before December 31, 2025, reflected in your account by the first week of January 2026, please contact HealthCheck360 Member Services before January 9, 2026.
-
Q: Do my points expire?
Yes. Points do not carry over from the previous program plan year, as the program ends on December 31 and will re-start on January 1 of the following year.
-
Q: How do I report my activities if I do not have a computer or access to the Internet?
There are a variety of computer labs around UAB that you can use to check your account. Many healthy behaviors and activities are automatically awarded for your convenience. Please call HealthCheck360 Member Services at 1-866-511-0360 and a representative will be happy to assist you in reporting participation in any self-reported activity.
Reward FAQs

-
Q: What does my tier mean?
Earning points for completing activities and completing Key Behaviors push you closer to each tier, earning you a bigger financial reward at the end of the year.
- Tier 1: Earn 2,000 points + one (1) Key Behavior = $50
- Tier 2: Earn 5,000 points + a total of two (2) Key Behaviors = additional $100 ($150 total)
- Tier 3: Earn 10,000 points + a total of two (2) Key Behaviors = additional $200 ($350 total)
For example, if you earn 2,000 points through program activities AND complete a key behavior (like having an annual physical or getting a Wellscreen), you have reached Tier 1 and earned $50.
-
Q: Are my previously earned points and Key Behaviors counted in the next tier?
Yes. For example, if you have completed Tier 1 requirements of earning 2,000 points plus one (1) Key Behavior. You only need to earn 3,000 more points plus one (1) additional Key Behavior to complete Tier 2. Once you complete Tier 2 requirements, you only have to earn 5,000 more points in Tier 3. No additional Key Behaviors are required in Tier 3 because you have already earned them in Tier 2.
-
Q: When and how do I get my rewards?
Rewards for the current program plan year will be paid out in the next calendar year. This gives time for the final healthy habits accomplished by December 31 to be uploaded to your account. Payout dates may vary depending on whether you are paid bi-weekly or monthly. You must be actively employed by UAB at the time of payout. Employees who terminate prior to the payout date, will not be eligible for earned rewards.
If any completed Key Behaviors for 2025 haven’t been added to your account, please reach out to HealthCheck360 Member Services before Wednesday, January 9, 2026.
