Vitality: Leading engagement where wellbeing meets care

Transform your engagement strategy and drive meaningful short- and long-term outcomes.

We believe that behavior change programs should actually change behavior. That's why, for decades, we have been mastering the art and science of building thoughtful, intuitive and fun member experiences.

53%

of our members interact each month with and average of 12 activities per month

The more members interact, the healthier they get. No wonder they keep coming back.

Outcomes matter. That's why our programs are hyper-personalized to each member's specific needs. We get people involved in the activities that have the biggest impact on their health when they’re ready (and only when they’re ready). And we’re not just referring to members who are already healthy:

41%

start at high risk, with …

23%

of these members lowering their risk over time.

The best part? It’s not a replacement for what you’re already doing; it’s a way to optimize it. Better health outcomes. Happier, healthier (and more productive) people. Everybody wins.

Health risks cost money. Elevated health risks and chronic conditions cost even more. We know how to change people’s behavior for the better, no matter their health risk or initial level of enthusiasm. The result? They need to seek care less often. And when they do, they seek the right care in the right place – which is in their best interest and yours. It’s no surprise, then, that members who engage with Vitality have:

4%

lower claims costs

and that’s 4% on average, regardless of risk, demographics or willingness to engage.

Independently reviewed by
actuaries at Arbital Health.

Independent actuaries at Arbital Health have reviewed the methodology and have found the methodologies used for estimated cost savings and ROI to be consistent with industry best practices. They found the estimates to be reasonable, and, because comparisons are between highly-engaged and less-engaged populations (rather than engaged vs unengaged), potentially underestimate savings.

How we can help you

What makes us different

30 years ago, a health plan founded by actuaries created Vitality to improve health outcomes, reduce healthcare costs and make people healthier.

We are experts in behavior change and pioneered the shared value insurance category: aligning incentives across members, payers and providers to reduce health risk and enable every stakeholder to share in the value of better population health outcomes. Vitality is not a standalone wellness program — but rather a business model that embeds a health promotion methodology to help health plans drive behavior change, risk savings, and dynamic pricing.

We (actually) make people healthier

Our data backs it up. Vitality members move more, eat better, attend to their preventive care, and smoke less. We have a real impact on health outcomes. In other words, we don’t just engage the young and healthy. We meet members where they are.
