Live Life Well Incentive

Earn $60 Per Month off your 2026 Monthly Benefit Contribution

The Live Life Well (LLW) Incentive has increased!  You can now earn $60 per month off your monthly State Plan benefit contribution in 2026.  Double your LLW Incentive if a covered spouse or domestic partner also earns the LLW Incentive.

You must complete all 3 activities - State-sponsored Health Screening, self-report Nicotine Free status or completion of an alternative, and self-report completion of an Eligible Provider Visit between November 1, 2024 and October 31, 2025 to earn a LLW Incentive for 2026.  You can find more details on each of the three LLW Incentive Activities by clicking on the links below.

  • Select the grey button that says, "Or click here to register."
  • Fill in the requested information.  
    • You will need to use your first and last name as it appears on your BlueCross & BlueShield of Montana medical ID card.

Self-Report Your Incentive Activities

  • Click "Keep Earning More" to Self-Report Nicotine Free and completion of an Eligible Provider Visit.   Remember that your State-sponsored Health Screening will automatically appear on the Medikeeper portal about a week after your screening is complete. 
    • "Keep Earning More" is a small button on the top banner on the main Medikeeper screen.
    • You can also click on "Incentive & Rewards," but it takes a few more clicks to get there.

  • Click on the blue "i" button if you need more details.
  • Click the blue "+" icon located to the right of the activity you'd like to complete.

    • You can also confirm by checking that each of the three required Activities say "Complete" rather than "Incomplete."  

You may also download and use the MediKeeper App, Alaveda, from the App Store.

Questions on using the Medikeeper Wellness Portal?

How can I verify that I'll be receiving the Live Life Well Incentive for the 2025 Plan Year?

To verify if you will be receiving the Live Life Well (LLW) Incentive for 2025, review your benefit elections.

  1. Go to benefits.mt.gov.  Click on the "Benefit Enrollment and Changes" button and login to the system. 
    • If you have not accessed the system and you are a first-time user, you will need to register and create a user name and password. 
    • The "Company Key" is stateofmontana. 
    • If you are accessing the system via the State of Montana network, you may be able to automatically enter the system without a user name and password (single sign on).
  2. Click the drop-down arrow next to your name located in the upper right corner and select "Benefit Summary." 
  3. In the "My Health" section, under "Medical," click "View Details." This will cause a pop-up window to appear.
  4. Under the "Plan Selected," it will show if you and/or your covered spouse/domestic partner earned the LLW Incentive. 
  5. The election information section will show a bi-weekly (for employees) or monthly (for retirees) deduction from your contribution amount for 2025.   
    • For active employees, the LLW Incentive is displayed as a bi-weekly credit because employees pay their contributions through bi-weekly payroll deductions. 
      • For employees, the LLW Incentive will show as a $15 bi-weekly credit on your Benefit Summary. 
      • If both you and a spouse/domestic partner earned the LLW Incentive, it will show as two $15 bi-weekly credits, one for you and one for your spouse.
    • For retirees, the LLW Incentive is shown as a monthly credit because retirees pay their contributions monthly. 
      • For retirees, the LLW Incentive will show as a $30 monthly credit on your Benefit Summary. 
      • If both you and a spouse/domestic partner earned the LLW Incentive, it will show as two $30 monthly credits, one for you and one for your spouse.
If your LLW Incentive is not applied correctly, contact HCBD immediately.

 


 

The State Plan offers the LLW incentive program to all enrolled employees (for the purpose of this disclaimer employees includes active employees, retirees, legislators, and primary COBRA participants) and their enrolled spouse/domestic partner.

If you choose to participate in the LLW incentive program, you will be asked to complete a voluntary health risk assessment that asks questions about your health-related activities and whether you have or had certain medical conditions (e.g. cancer, diabetes, or heart disease). You will also be asked to obtain a voluntary blood test for certain conditions (e.g. cholesterol). If you choose to participate, you will receive a reduction in your bi-weekly employee contribution. If you are unable to participate in any of the health-related activities of the LLW incentive program, you may qualify for a reasonable accommodation to earn the incentive. To request an accommodation, contact the Health Care & Benefits Division (HCBD) at (800) 287-8266, TTY (406) 444-1421, or email benefitsquestions@mt.gov.

The information collected from your health-related activities will be used to help you understand your current health and potential risks and to offer you services.

We are required by law to maintain the privacy and security of your personally identifiable health information. For more information, review the Plan’s Notice of Practices at:  benefits.mt.gov/_docs/Resources/Notice-of-Privacy-Practices-10.2024.pdf.
