UnitedHealthcare announced a new program that could be worth $1000 a year in your pocket. The insurance giant’s rewards program pays subscribers who demonstrate more than 15 minutes of activity a day, walk more than 5,000 steps each day, and sleep track for at least 14 nights. The money flows to you via prepaid debit cards or a health savings account. The program is currently only available to those in fully-insured accounts. UnitedHealthcare through its employers clients pioneered this type of effort by previously giving Apple Watches to subscribers who then worked off the watch’s cost by proven fitness efforts. Now you have to buy your own devices.
